From: Emily Parker, Paralegal ~ ~ ~4 ~Re: Water and° Sewer Policy .,. ., •You have. inquired regarding the current policies in the Water and Sewer District which govern the~establishment of sewer accounts. As you know, our ordinance requires that sewer. accounts. will be set up in the owner's name. On the surface this often appears to customers as a rigid and ;inflexible policy; since other utilities such as telephone and electricity may be put in a tenant's - name. However, sewer service is a little different from the other utilities in that termination of service for.non-payment results in revocation of the certificate of occupancy and condemnation `~of the property for lack of sewage disposal;. in a case where a tenant reneges on an account ~' which is in their-name the innocent ro owner will . , p perty suffer serous consequences through no ` fault of their own. .. ~ ~ , _ .There is also the matter of mamtaimng a high collection rate. Over the last five years, we have _ averaged a collection rate of 95%. 1'-laving a high transient population in New Hanover County, we would risk lowering that rate by setting up accounts u tenant's names. Many tenants aze ~ _ judgment-proof, and difficult to locate once they have moved. As you know, I have discussed - :. the issue with other local governments around the state on several occasions. If accounts are ,~ ~ `opened in tenants' names, .deposits become necessary, which are an extra administrative;,expense and burdensome to handle. And in a case where ownership of a property changes hands but-the tenant. remains the same, the Water/Sewer District has no knowledge of the sale.. In a nutshell, we would lose -money either by being unable to collect or by having much higher costs of administration. . . ; Though this policy ma seem ri 'd at firs I relieve the intent is y In ~, truly to protect the taxpayers.. .While it may be a small inconvenience, it is actually in the property owner's rest interest. The ` simplest solution for an owner of rental property which receives sewer service only would be to - .. choose the flat rate of $44 bi-monthly and supply incorporate that charge into the rent: For properties receiving water service which would fluctuate, I would recommend averaging the :.yearly charges and. build that monthly amount into the rent. ~ _ :~ ~13 ., ,~ ~.-~ ~Uj- -~ _~ ~ ~ ~99t~ N:E'4~V I~[ANOVER COUN~'Y OFFICE OF THE COUNTY MANAGER 320 CHESTNUT SZ'RI;ET, ROOM 502 WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA 28401-4045 TELEPHONL•' (919) 34/-7/39 FAX (919) 34/-9027 July 23, 1998 Robert C.

The following paragraph explains the issues the County faces, the policies, and the rationale behind the policies. New Hanover County has approximately 4,000 water and 16,000 sewer customers. The County bills and collects these accounts on a bimonthly basis. Unfortunately,- some of these customers are not timely in the payment of their water and sewer bills. The County, due to health considerations, does not cutoff sewer accounts that are delinquent. As you can see, we have more sewer.customers than water customers. The County has chosen to bill the owner of the property which is collateralized by the property itself, rather than the tenant. This method avoids time-consuming. deposit requirements of the water and sewer user as well as the County's Finance Department. In an effort to accommodate the user, the County has an alternative method whereby the owner of the property agrees for thebill to be sent to and paid by the. tenant. The County does however, hold the owner responsible for the.bill....This exception has worked for many home owners and may serve your needs as well. ~ - if you should have further questions or ideas, please call Bruce Shell, Finance Director for the County.. I too am available if you should need to discuss this further.

C. 4011 WestChase Blvd. Raleigh, tJC 27607 , 919 833-7152 Fax: 919 833-1828 During the recent meeting of the Environmental Management Commission, the Commission voted to proceed with a public hearing to consider the reclassification of portions of the Deep River that will be impounded to form Randleman Reservoir. While this was the desired outcome, there were several points during the EMC meeting when :conf.using, misleading or incorrect statements were made relative to various issues , . .. ~- - ~ ~ associated with tfie`Randleman'project: `We believe that it-is important to address these - misconceptions at the earliest opportunity so that members of the Commission and.the general public have a better understanding of the Randleman project. The specific issues that we wish to address are as follows: 1. Downstream impacts of the Eastside wastewater treatment plant bypass - DWQ staff made an unfair comparison of the downstream water quality impacts associated v~rith the Eastside WWTP bypass when they compared the existing condition (a flow of 10 mgd with a effluent phosphorus concentration of 4 mg/I) to the future condition with the bypass (a flow of 26 mgd with an effluent phosphorus concentration of 1 mg/I). Compared in this manner, it is correct that the bypass would result in a reduction in downstream phosphorus loadings as stated by DWQ staff. However, this comparison is off target since it ignores the significant water quality benefit that Randleman Reservoir is predicted to have on downstream nutrient loads. The modeling work performed by Tetra Tech and confirmed by DWQ indicates that Randleman Reservoir will trap approximately 80 percent of the total phosphorus loading delivered to the lake. When this benefit is taken into account, it becomes clear that the reservoir bypass would result in a significant increase in downstream phosphorus loadings. The correct comparison of downstream loads is shown in the table belov/. Based on this comparison, the reservoir bypass would - result in an 8-fold increase in downstream phosphorus loads, not the decrease that was suggested during the EMC meeting. I-I~~zrv~'I) Si~l~ri'IJI~ Memorandurri Mr. John F. Kime July 21, 1993 Page 2 Phosphorus Source OPTION A OPTION B Existing Discharge Location Discharge below Dam with PTRINA NRP Strategy 1 mg/1 Phosphorus 0.2 mg/I Phosphorus Eastside WWTP 1,540 35,950 NPS loads 3,430 3,430 TOTAL 4,970 39,380 2. Comparison of Storm4vater Ordinance Requirements -DWQ staff presented a comparison of the stormwater ordinance requirements for Option A (the NRP ,proposed by the PTRWA) and Option B. For Option A, the comparison was incomplete since it only considered the proposed ordinance requirements for the 15 percent of the Randleman watershed that is not currently protected by existing watershed ordinances. Randolph County, Guilford County, Greensboro and Randleman have previously adopted watershed ordinances that exceed many of the. statewide minimum requirements. A complete comparison of the watershed ~ordiriarice. requirements was..presented iri.T.ab1e 11 ,of. he NRP prepared forthe ,;, ,:.: Authority by Tetra Tech. A copy of this table is attached for reference. 3. Comparison of chlorophyll a levels in Randleman Reservoir to other area lakes-DWQ staff unfairly compared the predicted future chlorophyll a levels in Randleman Reservoir to the. existing conditions for Falls Lake. Since both watersheds are expected to see continued development, it seems only fair to compare similar conditions in'each case. Like the proposed Randleman reservoir, both Falls and Jordan Lakes have one or more WWTP's discharging into streams that feed the upper potions of each lake. The plants with the most potential impact-Durham Noiihside for Falls Lake and Durham South and OWASA's Morgan Creek plant for Jordan Lake, are operating with state-of-the-art tertiary controls, and are under strict effluent limitations, similar to those proposed for the Eastside W~NTP. The table belo4v was generated using the BATHTUB model developed for the Randleman Like watershed. !t is based upon the current land use conditions - coupled with the following NRP components: (1) WWTP at 10.5 MGD and 0.2 mg/f P and (2) minor dischargers removed. No credit is taken for the proposed constructed wetlands or the additional regional detention pond that is planned by the City of High Point. Likewise, no benefit is derived from th.e zoning provisions of the proposed watershed protection ordinances. ~1IEN~'D ~~v~'~i'i{,I~ Memorandum Mr. John F. Kime July 21, 1998 Page 3 For comparison, the second table presents comparable data for Falls and Jordan Lakes. This data was taken from DWQ data (1990-97) and the WWTP Self-Monitoring .Data (119-1997) for the respective WWTP's that discharge to the lakes.

Since both Jordan and Falls lakes seem to be meeting all intended uses, we see no reason not to expect similar performance from Randleman Lake. ~4. Surface water quality standards and the Safe Drinking Water Act - at various ..points during the Commission discussion, it seemed that the distinction between NC surface water standards and the Safe Drinking Water Act were not clearly recognized. Chlorophyll a is the major photosynthetic pigment in most algae, and is used as an index of algal density. Excess algal density is undesirable for aesthetic . reasons, for efficient operation of water treatment plants, and for provision of suitable aquatic habitat. Chlorophyll a is not, however, of direct concern for human health and is not regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act. EPA has also not promulgated criteria for chlorophyll a concentrations for the protection of aquatic life. The chlorophyll a standard that has received so much attention is a North Carolina surface water quality standard. While chlorophyll a is often used as an index of lake water quality conditions, it is believed that North Carolina is the only state which has adopted a numeric water quality standard for chlorophyll a. A few other states (e.g., ~-...Oregon) have. adopted, target values..

Taub©, Executive director Lower Cape Fear YVater and Sewer Authority Post Office Box 1b73 Wilmington, ,North Carolina 28402 Subject: Opposition #o Plant (discharge Relocation Cit)~ of Nigi~ Point Eastside WWTIr Dear Mr. l'aube: 984.010 (34) As you requ©sted, we have reviewed the information submitted to you by the Piedmont Triad ReAlonal Water Authority relating to the question of whether thg effluent from the Nigh i'alnt Eastslde Wastewater Treatment Plant should be relocated from its cun•ent discharge paint to a point downstream of the proposed Randleman Dam on the Deep River in Randolph County. Apparently the staff of the Division of iNater Quality in presentations to the Environmental Management Commission has proposed the construction of a $25 minion effluent outfall around Randleman Lake in spite of the fact that technical. modeling and evaluation confirm that the existing point of discharge will riot have adversr+ impart ort the f~TRWA water supply, The primary wafer quality parameter in question is phosphorus. Studies confirm that Randleman take wii(trap about BO percent of the phosphorus discharged to it. Discharge of the High Point effluent to the Lake will result in considerably less phosphorus remaining in the waters of the Cape Fear River when It reaches the water supply intakes of the Authority and the Clty of Wilrningtan. From our technical review, Authority opposition to the effluent relocation is appropriate. Yours very truly, WILLiB EhlG1NEERS C. A. Wiiiis, F'.~==..

Greenview Ranches; in the event purchase ; ~ . , ~~ `arid/or condemnation of parcels for a public purpose might be desirable. The land. was initially developed. ~_ in .,1963; with several phases sold over the years. The development prior to the effective date of the ` •~:. ~. 'County subdivision and zoning ordinances allowed the developerto avoid constructing,roadsand other `. ~ improvements. The mutual easements used to access the interior. ots are "generally only paper " agreements, not con'strucfed. The few existing roads are only soil based. and are- minimally passable. The site appears'to have considerable wetlands. Please note that County acquisition of the lots by either, ' ~ . ,Purchase or eminent domain would be very difficult .due to -the large number of tracts (about 350); and the -, multiple ownership, including"heir property problems and out-of-state ownership. Any condemnation ~ . would requireiegal service of all owners, appointment of 'guardians for minors;:infirmed persons; ahd ` ~ unknown claimants, and. possible'jury determination of contested values. , RECOMMENDED MOTfON~AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: ' " ~ ~ ~ Listen to presentation and provide direction to stall. _ . ; -. -" ' ~' . •. r: FUNDING SOURCE. ..

Greer, Vice-Chairman (~ FROM: Wanda M. Copley, County Attorne RE: Greenview Ranches Subdivision DATE: May 15, 1998 Greenview Ranches has approximately three hundred fifty (350) lots of record, averaging about five (5) acres per parcel. The, original owner was Harold Greene of New Hanover Development Company. Jn that.the project was developed as being exempt from County subdivision ordinances, no infrastructure:was installed. Access to lots is through mutual. easements along. ,lot lines, without dedicated roads. County Tax Appraisal estimates each five (5) acres "homestead" has a value of about Seventeen Thousand ($17,000.00) Dollars. Given that the quantity of parcels and the number of owners has increased overthe last several decades (heir property, partitions, etc.), County acquisition by either purchase or condemnation would be involved. The undertaking is complicated by the fact that, because the lots were originally marketed by mail, many owners live out-of-state. Some of the Greenview lots adjacent. to other properties having better access have been acquired by developers for combination with their other parcels. ' Please let me know if you desire any additional information and how you wish for us to proceed.

WATER QUALITY ANALYSIS OF NEW HANOVER COUNTY'S TIDAL CREEKS .Imperative for the Studv New Hanover County continues to experience substantial growth in suburban areas during the 1990's. Hundreds of housing developments have been build in this decade. Among many environmental im acts these suburban develo m nts hav p p e e had both direct and indirect effects on the quality and quantity of surface water reaching the creeks and other estuarine waters that nearly sun-ound the county. These effects include increased loadings of coliform bacteria, nutrients, pesticides, hydrocarbons, heavy metals, sediment and fresh water. Previously pristine estuarine waters have been, and continue to be, under the pressure of population growth in the region. Paradoxically, many new residents cite environmental quality as a primary reason for their selection of southeastern North Carolina as a home. The administrative offices of New Hanover County have carefully considered the impacts of development on estuarine resources, however, the lack of data concerning the role of natural processes in the county's estuarine waters and the effects of some development practices on estuarine environments has made the task of maintaining undefiled estuarine environments difficult. Many county citizens including government and business leaders, conservationists, and scientists are concerned that unless sound scientific data can be collected to serve as a basis for informed decisions, the future productivity and aesthetics of the estuarine waters will be compromised. 110 The University of North Carolina at Wilmington, through the Center for Marine Sciences Research CMSR ro oses the continuation of a stud that focuses on develo in an a ~ )P P y P g 2 .. .. ~' ... ~ . ' ~ . ~ ~ understanding of water quality in the major .estuarine creeks of New Hanover County: The '~ ' ~ • ,proposal provides the opportunity for,New Hanover County, North Carolina state environmental agencies-and the University to cooperate and-share resources acid information to respond to the - ~ . - rapid population growth of the county.. , ' We~are pleased to report that this study_has already yielded results and data leading to . management plans: These are summarized below. ~ " ~' i n - Progress to Date and Management ImRl~cat o s • 'UNCW studies have provided important data concerning Futch Creek water quality and " ~" , ` _~ .:~ areas of pollution. Based on these data;. and subsequent investigations of sources by Shellfish ' ~ .Sanitation, the`dredging of the bar at the mouth ofFutch Creek hasbecome a success. LTNCW i •~ .~° continuing to monitor the effects of dredging on Futch Creek water.quality and intends to ~ • - '' continue this next year assuming private funding continues. This effort has already spawned three more.University/government/private concern pollution mitigation efforts. County°and UNCW ~, ~'~ personnel have cooperated with Landfall representatives to develop.a created-wetland pollution. ' -mitigation project along the south shore of Howe Creek. A site on Hewletts Creek is also being .~ . . , .proposed for a constructed wetland. The North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service has ' .,` ~ ~ 'nv , i t "the effect of olf cour e' in ' .conducted a ~omt project with UNCW to i est ga e g s s, the Hewletts. ~Creek.watershed on"downstream water quality. This project has already resulted in a scientific ; ~: - paper presented at.the •1998 Goif Courses and the Environment Symposium: These are the type'of .. - ' . science-based cooperative management-oriented efforts we hope will continue to evolve in the ~. . .._. ~ . ' ~"future. . Our sampling efforts have thus far_yielded data describing where pollutant. "hot. spots". are _1 ' located in Bradley, Howe,. Hewletts, Futch, and Pages Creeks. We have-also learned how `. ~ ' r ~ seasonal Chan es affect water ualit arameters. Our tidal studies have rovided us with: g q YP P . 3 valuable information on changes in fecal coliforms, nutrients, and. chlorophyll over tidal cycles and on how rain events affect pollutant runoff and tidal creek water quality, particularly in Futch and Pages Creeks. We have also described the effectiveness of wet detention pounds in reducing pollution to receiving waters. Finally, we are continuing to compile information on how creek water quality affects shellfish growth and abundance. Our intent is to continue these studies until each creek is fully characterized, use these data as a basis for special investigations, and provide suggestions for management-related activities. We are pleased to announce that we have produced a comprehensive report on four years worth of data. This report has directly linked water quality with land use practice and provides a series of recommendations to improve water quality. This report has found wide acceptance among the public; the regulatory community, and scientific community. Scope of Work Scientists associated with the Center for Marine Sciences Research will conduct a study of the physical, chemical and biotic aspects of water quality of four major tidal creeks next to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, namely Howe, Bradley, Pages, and Hewletts Creeks. Two major foci of the study include: , . 1. Physical, chemical and biotic description of the creeks 2. Analysis of similarities and differences in creek parameters The physical, chemical and biotic description of the creeks has been conducted from 1993- 1998 with each calendar year providing a framework for collection of baseline physical'; chemical and biotic data for the creeks under study. The first year we studies two creeks (Howe and Hewletts) intensively while conducting basic monitoring in the other three. The second year F1ut1ch~and Pages Creeks were studied intensively. The third year Futch and Bradley Creeks were focused on with Futch and Howe Creeks emphasized in year four. Futch and Bradle 'Creeks Y .. 4 • ~. ~ t ~ ~ . .r '. •., . ~ y ',. " ~ were emphasized in year, five. Permanent study sites .have been established in each creek for - ` :~ ~ standardized comparison: of data collected between different: years. This approach allows the • ", , •. ~ ~ : systematic study of the tidal,creeks yet remains within the defined limits of people and fiscal ' resources. As this .work progresses, the scientists ' ~t will focus on assessing the- similarities and " ; •. differences among ` the creeks studied and assess the effectiveness of current management . `guidelines Bmphasis is placed on practical, management oriented research that can help' , '. '~ maximize the usability of the creeks for count residents. " y. , . ~ R Beyond these -two general approaches to the study, we will continue to periodically conduct narrow; focused research while. collecting the"general creek data. These studies address ~ - •~ s .„ecific cienti " p. s fic questions or management problems related to tidal' creeks.with an objective: of ~ , • :. + a `!~. .providing an answer to a question or seeking an appropriate solution to a perceived problem; We =, . -will propose these studies annually based onneed and the interest of the county's environmental ~ • . `~ , - . , • •managers, the scientists involved, and nonprofit environmental organizations.

The physical parameters will include water temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen. Nutrients-will include nitrate and orthophosphate, and chlorophyll ~ will be used as a measure ofphytoplankton biomass. Ammonia will~also be sampled at selected locations... Fecal Coliform Pollution We will concentrate our analysis of fecal coliform bacteria pollution on Futch Creek. We also plan to conduct selected analyses in stormwater samples. We also have the advantage of our project with the City of Wilmington Engineering Department analyzing the water quality in city drainage systems. ' Pesticide Pollution A number of pesticides, including 2, 4-D, dicamba and acephate are used in area golf courses. We are testing asemi-permeable membrane device (SPNID) as a means of monitoring pesticides in the environment. Variations of the SPMD system are being tested for effectiveness in Howe and Hewletts Creeks (below the golf courses) with the ultimate goal of making practical recommendations for monitoring pesticides. Distribution, Growth and Survival of Shellfish We have monitored bivalve populations in the tidal creek system over the past four years. We have seen significant differences in both species composition and size of organisms among the creeks. Surveys of natural clam and oyster populations will be continued using the quadrat survey ~e~g4i as in the past. In addition, we will utilize clam transplant experiments between creeks of 6 . . ' .,' ~~ different water quality. This will allow unto determine which creeks are most amenable to clam growth; and what water quality factors may retard clam growth and survival. `. - ~tormwater Runoff ~ ' .. .. ~. , ~, .. , ~~ In cooperative with the City of Wilmington Engineering,Departrnent, investigations of ' pollutant loads,carried in stormwater runoff will be conducted at various locations.. , 1 ~ ,. ,. . . ~Vlan~aggment Objectives , ~ , 1.
