(Administrative Amendment)
THIS RECLARAED QUALITY EFFLUENT WATER AGREEMENT (the "Agreement') is made
effective as of February 13, 2015 by and between Leisure Investments of N.C„ Inc, (the "Ownee) and the
Town of Oak Island (the "Town").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Leisure Investments of N.C., Inc, owns property and operates a golf course in the Town of
Oak Island and the Town of Caswell Beach; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Oak Island has constructed wastewater reclamation facilities able to produce
reclaimed quality effluent which will be infiltrated into two bigh-rate infiltration basins and will then
provide collected groundwater for irrigation and other uses permitted by the State of North Carolina; and
WHEREAS, the. Town of Oak Island and the Town of Caswell Beach have entered into an agreement
allowing the use of reclaimed quality effluent water in the Caswell Beach corporate limits; and
WHEREAS, Leisure Investments of N.C., Inc. and the Town of Oak Island recognize the value
of reclaimed quality effluent water as a resource for irrigation and other allowable uses; and
WHEREAS, Leisure Investments of N.C., Inc, and the Town of Oak Island seek to work cooperatively
in making this resource available to the Oak Island Golf Club;
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1, provision and Acceptance of Reclaimed Quality Effluent Water, The Town shall supply reclaimed
quality effluent water to the Owner that may be available from production of the Town wastewater
reclamation facilities. The Owner agrees to accept up to an average of265,700 gallons per day of
reclaimed quality effluent water to be placed into infiltration basins and for the Town to provide collected
groundwater for irrigation of the golf course and adjacent areas, subject to applicable permit requirements
and reclaimed quality effluent water availability. The portions of the golf course to receive collected
groundwater shall be determined solely by the Owner in accordance with applicable permit requirements
and the irrigation needs of the Owner. The Owner and the Town shall cooperate to modify or obtain
required permits for the use of reclaimed quality effluent andtor collected groundwater on the golf course
and/or other areas in accordance with this agreement. It is understoodby the parties to this Agreement
that the Town may, in its sole discretion, supply reclaimed quality effluent water to Town residents and I
or Town businesses. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to preclude the Town from supplying
reclaimed quality effluent water to Town residents and/or Town businesses.

2. Reclaimed Ouality Effluent Delivery System and Lines. The Owner has constructed irrigation facilities
which can receive collected groundwater from the Town. The Owner shall provide necessary casements
for a reclaimed quality effluent line from public rights -of -way to the Owner's facilities so that reclaimed
quality effluent water may be efficiently used. Such easements shall be located in places mutually
acceptable to the Owner and the Town The Town, at its expense, shall design, engineer, permit,
construct, install, operate and maintain the reclaimed quality effluent water line from the public right of
way to the Owner's facilities. The Owner and the Town will work cooperatively on any other irrigation
system adjustments which may be found to be beneficial to both parties- Changes that are beneficial to
the Town will be paid for by the Town.
Any infrastructure changes related to the golf course irrigation system, other than the infiltration basins,
and the reclaimed quality effluent line from the public right -of --way to the Owner"s facilities which are:
installed on the golf course, whether paid for by the Town or the Owner, become the sole property of the
Owner. This includes irrigation lines and sprinkler heads required for the efficient utilization of collected
groundwater. The Owner will assume responsibility for the maintenance and repair of the irrigation
system and the related infrastructure.
3. Operation and Maintenance of Irri atg ion System; Acceptance of Collected Groundwater. The Owner
shall own, operate and maintain the irrigation storage ponds located on the golf course, and the irrigation
lines, pipes, pumps and other equipment used to irrigate the golf course: The Owner shall have the right to
suspend acceptance of collectedgroundwater during any period in which the water does not meet
applicable requirements or standards, or in which acceptance of collected groundwater would likely
damage or endanger health or property, or at such times that the collected groundwater is not needed
because of excessive rainfall. In the _event that the Owner has a problem maintaining the irrigation system
so as to provide fortheacceptance of reclaimed collected groundwater in accordance with this
Agreement, the Owner may invite the Town to provide whatever expertise it has. available to assist with
the problem. Additionally, the Owner may allow the diversion of collected groundwater to other uses
(ponds, etc.) in compliance with permits and general sound irrigation system operating parameters.
With respect to collected groundwater storage, the parties have agreed, in principal, to utilize the existing
pond at the # 18 green to store collected groundwater on the golf course property. Notwithstanding the
foregoing the Tower shall have the sole discretion as to reclaimed quality effluent water storage on.
locations that are not on Owners property,
4. Permit Compliance, &pa rd Keeping,.Enforcement and Civil Penalties. The Town shall provide to the
Owner copies of all permits, renewals, notices and correspondence firm DWR or any other regulatory
authority with respect to the reclaimed quality effluent water, collected groundwater and spray irrigation

testing of the reclaimed quality effluent, as required by applicable permits. The irrigation operator shall
maintain any records regarding irrigation of the golf course, as required by any applicable permits, and
such information shall be provided to the -Town in a timely manner. The Town shall be responsible for
maintaining records regarding reclaimed quality effluent water inflow to the golf course, and for
submitting all required. reports regarding such reclaimed quality effluent water to DWW

The Town shall timely pay any civil penalty that results from a permit violation for which the Town is
responstbk. The Owner shall timely pay any civil penalty that results from a permit violation for which
