also made under G.S. 150B-23.
Unless exempted by a condition of this permit or the regulations, construction of new
air pollution sources or air cleaning devices, or modifications to the sources or air cleaning
devices described in this permit must be covered under a permit issued by the Division of Air
Quality prior to construction. Failure to do so is a violation of G.S. 143-215.108 and may
subject the Permittee to civil or criminal penalties as described in G.S. 143-215.114A and 143-
215.114B.
