Dear Mr. Smart:
A fast track application for Authorization to Construct dechlorination facilities was
received on July 22, 2009, by the Division of Water Quality (Division). Authorization is hereby
granted for the construction of modifications to the existing Mitchell Bluff Subdivision Well #1,
with discharge of backwash effluent into an unnamed tributary to Mitchell 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:
Installation of a dechlorination system utilizing sodium sulfite pursuant to the fast
track application received on July 22, 2009, and in conformity with the Minimum
Design Criteria for Dechlorination Facilities.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph A of
NPDES Permit No. NC0088498 issued January 6, 2009, and shall be subject to revocation unless
the wastewater treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and
limitations specified in Permit No. NC0088498.
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.
