Authorization to Construct
Wilkes County
Dear Mr. Burke:
A letter of request for an Authorization to Construct was received May 28, 1997 by the Division.
Final plans and specifications for the subject project have been reviewed and found to be satisfactory.
Authorization is hereby granted for the construction of a 30,000 gpd wastewater treatment plant consisting
of a bar screen, equalization basin, aeration basin, dual blowers, clarifier, aerated sludge holding tank and
all associated controls, piping and appurtenances for the above referenced project with discharge of treated
wastewater into a 1.0 MGD industrial waste treatment system and then to the Yadkin River in the Yadkin-
Pee Dee River Basin.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph A. of NPDES
Permit No. NC0005266 issued April 18, 1995, and shall be subject to revocation unless the wastewater
treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and limitations specified in Permit No.
NC0005266.
The sludge generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in accordance with G.S.
143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance
conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be required by this
Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities.
The Winston-Salem Regional Office, telephone number [phone], shall be notified at least
forty-eight (48) hours in advance of operation of the installed facilities so that an in-place inspection can be
made. Such notification to the regional office shall be made during the normal office hours from 8:00 a.m.
until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding State Holidays.
Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a certification
must be received from a professional engineer certifying that the permitted facility has been installed in
accordance with the NPDES Permit, this Authorization to Construct and the approved plans and
specifications. Mail the Certification to the NPDES Unit, P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, NC 27626-0535.

Upon classification of the facility by the Certification Commission, the Permittee shall employ a
certified wastewater treatment plant operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) of the wastewater treatment
facilities. The operator must hold a certificate of the type and grade at least equivalent to or greater than the
classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by the Certification Commission. The
Permittee must also employ a certified back-up operator of the appropriate type and grade to comply with
the conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8A, .0202. The ORC of the facility must visit Class I facilities at least
weekly and Class II, III and IV facilities daily, excluding weekends and holidays, and must properly
manage and document operation and maintenance of the facility and must comply with all other conditions
of Title 15A, Chapter 8A, .0202. Once the facility is classified, the Permittee must submit a letter to the
Certification Commission which designates the operator in responsible charge within thirty days after the
wastewater treatment facilities are 50% complete. No change to the classification of this facility is
expected; it will remain a class 11 facility after construction.
The Operational Agreement between the Permittee and the Environmental Management
Commission is incorporated herein by reference and is a condition of this Permit. Noncompliance with the
terms of the Operational Agreement shall subject the Permittee to all sanctions provided by G. S. 143-
215.6 for violation of or failure to act in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Permit.
Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Authorization to Construct may subject the
Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Water Quality in accordance with North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C.
The issuance of this Authorization to Construct does not preclude the Permittee from complying
with any and all statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances which may be imposed by other government
agencies (local, state, and federal) which have jurisdiction.
A copy of the approved plans and specifications shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for the
life of the facility. One (1) set of approved plans and specifications is being forwarded to you. A
modified Supplement to Cover Sheet is also being sent to you to reflect the construction changes. Please
insert this page into your permit and throw away the existing Supplement to Cover Sheet. If you have any
questions or need additional information, please contact Ms. Mary Cabe, telephone number (919) 733-
5083, extension 51 S.
