Dear Mr. Quick:
In accordance with your permit change of ownership request received August 14, 2014, we are
forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0031246 dated March 23, 2015, to the Riversound Property Owners
Association for the construction and operation of the subject wastewater treatment and nigh -rate
infiltration facilities.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until March 31, 2016, shall void Permit
No. WQ0031246 issued July 23, 2008, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified
therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements listed in Attachments A, B and C
for they may differ from the previous permit issuance. Failure to establish an adequate system for
collecting and maintaining the required operational information small result in future compliance
problems.
For your convenience, customized electronic copies of your facility's NDMR and NDAR-2
reporting forms are available for download at: http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/aps/lau/reporting.
Please note the following permit conditions have been removed since the last permit
issuance dated July 23, 2008:
➢ Old Condition 1.6. — This condition has been removed because monitoring wells MW-1
through MW-8 have been approved and installed.
➢ Old Condition 111.3. — This condition has been removed because the disposal facility is a
high -rate infiltration basin, thus it does not contain any waste application equipment (e.g.,
irrigation heads, etc.)
➢ Old Condition IV.6. — This condition has been removed because it is inherently covered
under Condition IV.7. and Attachment A.

OPERATIONAL AGREEMENT
This AGREEMENT made pursuant to G.S. 143-21 S .1 (d 1) and entered into this a 3 r J day of
avl by and between the North Carolina Environmental Management
Commission, an agency of the State of North Carolina, hereinafter known as the COMMISSION; and
11}N111v�� Jo��t fir�pTe�J" 6�5�"oc���a�.� a non-profit corporation organized
and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of North Carolina, hereinafter known as the
ASSOCIATION.
WITNESSETH:
The ASSOCIATION was formed for the purpose, among others, of handling the property, affairs and
business of the development known as �u"yJo—';
(hereinafter the Development); of operating, maintaining, re -constructing and repairing the common
elements of the lands and improvements subject to unit ownership, including the wastewater collection
system with pumps, wastewater treatment works, and/or disposal facilities (hereinafter Disposal System);
and of collecting dues and assessment to provide funds for such operation, maintenance, re -construction
and repair.
The ASSOCIATION desires, to construct and/or operate a Disposal System to provide sanitary sewage
disposal to serve the Development on said lands.
The ASSOCIATION has applied to the COMMISSION for the issuance of a permit: pursuant to G.S. 143-
215.1 to construct, maintain, and/or operate the Disposal System.
4. The Development was created subject to unit ownership in the dwellings units, other improvements and
lands through filing of a Declaration of Unit Ownership (hereinafter Declaration), pursuant to Chapter
47C of the North Carolina General Statutes.
The COMMISSION desires to assure that the Disposal System of the Development is properly
constructed, maintained and operated in accordance with law and permit provisions in order to protect the
quality of the waters of the State and the public interest therein.
NOW,.THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the benefits to be derived by each of the parties
hereto, the COMMISSION and ASSOCIATION do hereby matuallyagree as follows:
1. The ASSOCIATION shall construct the Disposal System and/or snake any additions or modifications to
the Disposal System in accordance with the permit and plans and specifications hereafter issued and
approved by the COMMISSION, and shall thereafter properly operate and maintain such systems and
facilities in accordance with applicable permit provisions and law.
2_ The ASSOCIATION shall provide in the Declaration and Association Bylaws that the Disposal System
and appurtenances thereto are part of the common elements and shall thereafter be properly maintained
and operated in conformity with law and the provisions of the permit for construction, operation, repair;
and maintenance of the system and facilities_ The Declaration and Bylaws shall identify the entire
wastewater treatment, collection and disposal system as a common element, which will receive the highest
priority for expenditures by the Association except for Federal, State, and local taxes and insurance.
FO€ IM: HOA 08-t3 Page 1 of

3. The ASSOCIATION shall provide in the Declaration and Association Bylaws that the Disposal System
will be maintained out of the common expenses. In order to assure that there shall be funds readily
available to r-cpair, maintain, or construct the Disposal System beyond the routine operation and
maintenance expenses, the Declaration and Association Bylaws shall provide that a fund be created out of
the common expenses. Such fund shall be separate from the routine maintenance fund allocated for the
facility and shall be part of the yearly budget.
4. In the event the common expense allocation and separate fund(s) are not adequate for the construction,
repair, and maintenance of the Disposal System, the Declaration and Association Bylaws shall provide for
special assessments to cover such necessary costs. There shall be no limit on the ' amount of such
assessments, and the Declaration and Bylaws shall be provided such that special assessments can be made
as necessary at any time.
5. If a wastewater collection system and wastewater treatment and/or disposal facility provided by any city,
town, village, county, water and sewer authorities, or other unit of government shall hereinafter become
available to serve the Development, the ASSOCIATION shall take such action as is necessary to cause the
existing and future wastewater of the Development to be accepted and discharged into said governmental
system, and shall convey or transfer as much of the Disposal System and such necessary easements as the
governmental unit may require as condition of accepting the Development's wastewater.
6. Recognizing that it would be contrary to the public interest and to the public health, safety and welfare for
the ASSOCIATION to enter into voluntary dissolution without having made adequate provision for the
continued proper maintenance, repair and operation of its Disposal System, the ASSOCIATION shall
provide in the ASSOCIATION Bylaws that the ASSOCIATION shall not enter into voluntary dissolution
without first having transferred its said system and facilities to some person, corporation or other entity
acceptable to and approved by the COMMISSION by the issuance of a permit.
7. The ASSOCIATION shall not transfer, convey, assign or otherwise relinquish or release its responsibility
