Dear Mr. Lowder:
A letter of request for an Authorization to Construct was received December 3, 2013, by
the Division of Water Resources (Division). Additional information was requested and received,
and a revised layout was submitted that relocated all new construction within the current
treatment structures boundaries. An offset variance is granted. The final plans and specifications
for the subject project have been reviewed and found to be satisfactory. Authorization is hereby
granted for the construction of modifications to the existing 0.2 MGD Parkton WWTP, with
discharge of treated wastewater into the Dunns Marsh in the Lumber River Basin.
A copy of the issued Authorization to Construct permit is being send to the Division of
Water Infrastructure. Approvals directly associated with your funding request will continue to be
addressed by the Division of Water Infrastructure.
It was discovered during the review process that the existing drying bed liquid drain
system is discharging into a non-functioning collection/pump recycle system. The Division
strongly recommends the Permittee either repair the existing recycle system including restoring
its piping integrity where compromised or install an alternative that meets the same intent as the
original design.
This authorization results in no increase in design or permitted capacity and is awarded
for the construction of the following specific modifications:
Installation of a new automatic bar screen with manual bypass screen, piping and
controls; installation of a new grit removal system, piping and controls; installation
of new influent splitter box for existing oxidation ditches; installation of new 3,290
