Dear Mr. Roberts:
In accordance with your permit change of ownership request received February 25, 2012, we are
forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0024694 dated May 3, 2012, to Aqua North Carolina, Inc. for the
continued operation of the subject reclaimed water generation and non -conjunctive utilization facilities.
Please note that your permit's format has been updated to be consistent with the most current
reclaimed water permit template, and rule references have been updated pursuant to the new 15A NCAC

On August 5, 2009, Session Law 2009406, entitled "An Act to Extend Certain Government
Approvals Affecting the Development of Real Property Within the State," was enacted by the General
Assembly and signed into law. The Act, known as the Permit Extension Act of 2009, extends the
expiration date of certain government approvals and permits. in 2010, this Act was extended by an
additional year (S.L. 2010-177). Permit WQ0024694 falls. within the scope of this Act and is therefore
being extended until December 31, 2013. Per your permit, a renewal application must still be submitted
six months in advance of the extended expiration date.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until December 31, 2013, shall void
Permit No. WQ0024694 issued March 31, 2006, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as
specified therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements listed in Attachments A
and B because they may differ from the previous permit issuance. Failure to establish an adequate system

reporting forms are available for download at: http://portal.nedeilr.or�,lweb/wq/aps/lau/reporting.
Please note the following permit conditions have been removed since the last permit
issuance dated March 31, 2006:
➢ Old Condition IV.1. -- This condition was removed because it was inherently covered under
old Condition III.L
➢ Old Condition N.2. — This condition has been removed because the previous permit writer
included the incorrect Compliance and Review Boundary requirements for the subject
facility. This condition has been replaced by new Condition H.8.
➢ Old Condition VI.3. — This condition has been removed because an Operational Agreement is
not required for the new Permittee.
.Please note the following permit conditions and attachments are new or modified since the
last permit issuance:
➢ Condition I.1. — This condition requires that the Permittee install water level gauges in both _
the five day upset and wet weather storage ponds within 60 days of this permit issuance.

connections between the reclaimed water and potable water systems, unless such connection
has been approved by the Department pursuant to 15A NCAC 18C .0406.
➢ Condition 11.8. — This condition establishes the correct compliance and review boundaries at
the property boundary, as required under 15A NCAC 02H .0219(k)(1)(C)(i)(IM. Please note

subject to this requirement under 15A NCAC 02L .0107(d), therefore, this condition is
intended to voice this rule.
➢ Condition 11.11. — This condition requires any landowner who owns land within the
compliance boundary, but who is not the Permittee, to execute and file with the County
Register of Deeds an easement with the requirements listed in the said Condition. Please note
the previous permit was subject to this requirement under 15A NCAC 02L .0107(t),
therefore, this condition is intended to voice this rule.
