Dear Mayor Ellis:
A letter of request for an Authorization to Construct was received January 2, 1991 by the

Neuse River Basin.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III paragraph C of
NPDES Permit No. NCO025453 issued July 9, 1987, and shall be subject to revocation unless the
wastewater treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and limitations
specified in Permit No. NC0025453.
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 Environmental
Management.
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 Raleigh Regional Office, phone no. [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 supervisor shall be made during the
