• All necessary piping, pumps, appurtenances, and associated site work.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with NPDES Permit No.

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 Mooresville Regional Office, telephone number (704) 663-1699, 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
