Dear Mr. Elston:
Michael F. Easley, Governor
William & Ross Jr., Secretary
North Caroline Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Coleen H. Sullins Director
Division of Water Quality
Subject: Permit No. WQ0029601
Southwest Plantation and the
Bear Trail Golf Course
Non -Conjunctive Wastewater
Treatment and Reclaimed Water
Utilization System
Onslow County
In accordance with your minor modification request received November 29, 2007, and
subsequent additional information received March 14, 2008, we are forwarding herewith Permit No.
WQ0029601, dated April 8, 2008, to Carolina Investments, Inc. for the construction and operation
(Phases 11 & III), and the continued operation (Phase I) of the subject wastewater treatment and reclaimed
water utilization facilities. The requested modification was to convert the previously permitted wet
weather storage and irrigation facilities into three distinct construction phases.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until January 31, 2011, shall void Permit
No. WQ0029601 issued February 17, 2006, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as
specified therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements in this permit. Failure to
establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required operational information will
result in future compliance problems. Please note that since the last permit issuance, the Division has
instituted a new permit shell, and implemented a new compliance monitoring schedule which may
be found in Attachment A. The monitoring limits in Attachment A are separated based upon the
facility's three phases. Currently, the Permittee is only responsible to abide by PPI 001, however,
when Phase Il is completed, then PPI 002's requirements shall be met, and. when Phase III is
completed, then PPI 003's requirements shall be met.
The following requested modifications were not made to the subject permit: modifying the
volume of the main wet weather storage pond to 2.47 million gallons from 3.73 million gallons. This
modification requires engineering as -built plans that have been signed, sealed and dated by a licensed
North Carolina Professional Engineer, and shall be accompanied by an updated water balance verifying
Phase I has sufficient storage based upon generated and irrigatable flow. The request to modify the
permitted twelve (12) 450 gallon per minute (GPM) irrigation pumps to eight (8) irrigation pumps was
not approved. In order to consider this modification, the Permittee shall submit plans, specifications and
calculations signed, sealed and dated by a licensed North Carolina Professional Engineer.
