Authorization to Construct
Wayne Poultry WWTF Improvements
Surry County
Dear Mr. Poindexter:
A letter of request for an Authorization to Construct (ATC) was received May 2, 1996 by the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) and final plans for the subject facility have been reviewed and found to
be satisfactory. Authorization is hereby granted for the construction and installation of the proposed
modifications to the existing wastewater treatment system and all necessary appurtenances with discharge
of treated wastewater into Fisher River in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin. Specifically, this ATC allows:
• construction of a concrete chlorination - dechlorination tank (40' x 23.5' x 8').
• installation sulfer dioxide dual feed system with automatic switchover and diffuser.
• installation of two (2) 66 CFM blowers, piping, and diffusers for post aeration.
• installation of a sump pump and piping for tank dewatering.
• installation of additional piping, valves, baffles, and supply pumps.
As discussed in my August 27, 1996 conversation with Robert Kerr of Cabe Associates, there exists
sufficient capacity in the existing aeration basin to allow for at least a one day detention time. In addition,
there is sufficient flexibility built into the chlorination-dechlorination tank design to allow for some
additional expansion if required at a later date.
This Authorization to Construct and Operate is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph C of
NPDES Permit No. NC0006548 issued July 1, 1995, and shall be subject to revocation unless the
wastewater treatment facilities are operated in accordance with the conditions and limitations specified in
Permit No. NC0006548. A copy of the approved plans shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for
the life of the facility.
The Winston-Salem Regional Office, telephone number 910/771-4600, 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 supervisor 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 with additions, a
certification must be received from a professional engineer certifying that the additions have been installed
in accordance with the NPDES Permit, this Authorization to Construct and the approved plans. Mail the
Certification to the Permits and Engineering Unit, P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, NC 27626-0535.
The sludge generated from this treatment facility 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.
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 each Class III facility at least 3/week, excluding weekends and holidays, and must properly
manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the facility and must comply with all other
conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8A, .0202.
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 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.
One (1) set of approved plans is being forwarded to you. If you have any questions or need
additional information, please contact Steven D. Pellei, telephone number 919/733-5083, extension 516.
Sincerely,
rot -
