NCAC 02T.0120]
10. The Permittee shall pay the annual fee within 30 days after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay

Subject: Notice of Deficiency
NOD -2018 -PC -0024
Trump National - Permit No. W00015931
Reclaimed Water Utilization System
Iredell County
Staff of the Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) conducted a compliance inspection on
February 5th, 2017, which included the pump station (Deemed Collection System permit
#WQCSD0510), reclaimed water treatment, irrigation sites and a records review.
Central Office (CO) permitting staff, Tessa Monday and Ashley Kabat were also
present, since the inspection was conducted in conjunction with your permit renewal.
The MRO and CO would like to thank the Tri -County Wastewater (TCW) staff, Tim
Bannister and Brandon Long for their time during the site inspection. The reclaimed
treatment system appeared to be operating adequately at the time of inspection;
however, the MRO noted a couple of issues to address to maintain overall compliance:
The Notice of Deficiency (NOD) is for Field Certification requirement for
parameters analyzed by your contract company. Mr. Banister is in discussion with
MRO and the Laboratory Certification Branch to address the issue.
Additionally, data reported on the February 2017 and November 2017 NDMRs
does not correctly reflect the contracted laboratory's "Report Limit" for parameters
that showed as ND (non-detectable). To clarify, there is no limit violation, just a
reporting issue to address on future reports. For example: The Feb 2017 NDMR
reported 5day BOD as <1 mg/L, when the Lab's Report Limit was 2.0 mg/L;
Ammonia is noted on the NDMR as <1 mg/L, when the Lab's Report Limit was
0.10 mg/L; etc.

The following items are mentioned for routine maintenance purposes and should be
addressed to avoid potential issues in the future:
• Repair the WWTP mud -well's audible, high water alarm. The high water visual
alarm was functional, but the audible was not, at the time of inspection. The plant
discharges to the 5 -day upset pond with high water levels and the system is
connected by auto -dialer to the ORC; however, the permit notes audible and visual
high-water alarms in the system description.
• Recent rain and/or potable water irrigation at the driving range revealed areas of
the irrigation fields susceptible to ponding/run-off. Those areas require additional
scrutiny, prior to irrigation, to ensure there are no ponding/run-off issues related to
the reclaimed water application under this permit.
• Ensure the pump station audible and visual alarms are functional, as required
under the deemed permitted wastewater collection system rules (tracking
#WQCSD0510). The telemetry/auto-dialer was functional at the time of inspection.
Audible and visual, high water alarms cannot be adequately assessed, due to a
programmed time delay between telemetry notification and the physical alarms,
which allow for ORC response to the system with limited disturbance to residents.
• Document the Fats, Oils and Grease program training, as required under the
deemed permitted wastewater collection system 15A NCAC 02T.0400 rules
(tracking #WQCSD0510) and referenced in permit condition 11.3.
It is requested that a written response be directed to this office by March 21, 2018,
addressing the field certification and data reporting deficiencies noted above. We
will be glad to further discuss this with TCW staff as well.
This permit is currently in the renewal process. Per conversation with Mr. Bannister, a
modification for system upgrades is expected in December 2018. Specific questions
related to the renewal or modification may be directed to Tessa. Mond ay(cr)ncdenr.gov,
CO permitting staff assigned to this renewal.
If you have any questions, comments, or need assistance with understanding any
aspect of your permit or the attached inspection report, please do not hesitate to contact
myself or Ms. Maria Schutte (maria.schutte(a_)ncdenr.gov) at (704) 663-1699.

Inspection Summary: (additional comments may be included on attached pages)
This inspection included a records review and tour of the W WTP and irrigation fields. The pump station
and first manhole of the collection system were also viewed.
Please note issues of concern documented in the cover letter and additional comments/information
for the ORC below:
• ORC field certification information for pH and Residual Chlorine analysis can be obtained
from the following web -link httys://deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/water-
resources-data/water-sciences-home-uage/laboratorv-certification-branch/field-lab-
certification. Questions should be directed to dana.satterwhite(a)ncdenr.gov (or 919-733-
3908 ext.202) with our state lab.
• The MRO recommends both staff gauges (5 -day upset pond and storage lagoon) be brought
up to permit requirements with markings at 1 inch or 1011 of a foot, as noted in Permit
Condition I1I.16, during the proposed plant upgrade.
• The MRO should be informed of any changes to the contact information noted above.

the proposed plant ups
Also noted in previous reports:
Bottom solids have not been examined, but appear minimal. The high water (float) alarm in the storage
lagoon has not been tested. The design of the lagoon would require staff to go out in a boat for accurate
measurement of sludge and alarm testing. This poses a safety hazard and potential damage to the liner.
The MRO is okay with continued visual inspection of the lagoon and monitoring of freeboard, which was
approximately 7.5 feet at the time of inspection.

but application fields are not fenced off.
The spray system at the driving range continues to utilize another water source for irrigation (Mr.
Banister is to clarify whether that source is lake water or potable water from the on-site well system). The

Non -Conjunctive Reclaimed Water Utilization System pg. 5
W00015931 Trump National Golf Club, LLC — The Village at the Point - Iredell County
during the inspection and confirmed during follow-up Phone conversation with Mr. Banister on 2/14118,
resulting in the NOD. Contact information for the certification program is located on the first page of
this report.
Other noted conditions
Ensure audible and visual, high water alarms are functional at the pump station; and, document FOG
program training events in accordance with your permit and the 15A NCAC 02T .0400 Deemed Collection
System Rules.
The wastewater collection system was previously tracked under a separate deemed permit 4WQCSD0510.
Future inspections will be conducted as part of this non -discharge permit, as the appropriate language has
been incorporated into it.
The MRO and CO staff would also like to thank Todd Harrell (AQWA) for his time demonstrating a
potential replacement package plant, in operation at a nearby sub -surface system. The information is
beneficial for the proposed modification in December 2018.
