1. 3 x Year monitoring shall be conducted in March, July & November: Annual monitoring shall be conducted every November.
2. The measurement of water levels shall be made prior to purging the wells. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the casing. The measurement
of pH shall be made after purging and prior to sampling for the remaining parameters.
3. The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to provide the relative elevation of the measuring point for each monitoring well. The measuring points (top
of casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed relative to a common datum.
4. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) - In November only, analyze by one. of the following methods:
a. Standard Method 6230D, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less'
b. Standard Method 6210D, PQL at 0.5 l g/L or less
C. PPA Method 8021, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
d. PPA Method 8260, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
C. Another method with prior approval by the Water Quality Permitting Section Chief
Any method used must meet the following qualifications:
a. A laboratory must be DWR certified to run any method used.
b. The method used must, at a minimum, include all the constituents listed in Table VIII of Standard Method 6230D.
c. The method used must provide a PQL of 0.5 µg/L or less that must be supported by laboratory proficiency studies as required by DWR. Any constituents detected abovetle MDL but below
the PQL of 0.5 pg/L must be qualified (estimated) and reported.
5. If any volatile organic compounds (VOC) are detected as a result of monitoring as provided in Attachment C, then the Asheville Regional Office supervisor, telephone numbs [phone],
must be contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses required.
WQ0036327 Version 1.1 Attachment C Page 1 of 2

6. If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/L are detected in any downgradient monitoring well, additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the individual constituents
comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in the background monitor well exceeds 10 mg/L, this concentration will be taken to represent the naturally occurring
TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above.
7. Monitoring wells shall be reported consistent with the nomenclature and location information provided in Figure 1 and this attachment.

business of the development known as mystic Meadows. Meadow partnership .
(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.
2. The ASSOCIATION desires, to construct and/or operate a Disposal System to provide sanitary sewage
disposal to serve the Development on said lands.
3. 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

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.
If a wastewater collection system and wastewater treatment and/or disposal facility provided by any city,
