Dear Mr. Smith:
A fast track application for Authorization to Construct dechlorination facilities was
received on April 5, 2005, by the Division. Authorization is hereby granted for the construction
of modifications to the existing Norwood Wastewater Treatment Plant, with discharge of treated
wastewater into the Rocky River in the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin.
This authorization results in no increase in design or permitted capacity and is awarded
for the construction of the following specific modifications:
Sodium Bisulfite dechlorination system, pursuant to the fast track application
received on April 5, 2005, and in conformity with the Minimum Design Criteria
for Dechlorination Facilities.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part Ill, Paragraph A of
NPDES Permit No. NCO021628 issued February 13, 2004, and shall be subject to revocation
unless the wastewater treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and
limitations specified in Permit No. NCO021628.
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 Mooresville 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 on site
inspection can be made. Such notification to the regional supervisor shall be made during the
