Authorization to Construct
Guilford Mills, Incorporated
Guilford East Site
Wastewater Treatment Facility
Duplin County
A letter of request for an Authorization to Construct was received December 2, 1994 by the
Division and final plans and specifications for the subject project have been reviewed and found to be
satisfactory. Authorization is hereby granted for the construction of a new coarse screening device (bar
screen) and a vibrating fine screening device at the existing Guilford East wastewater treatment facility
with discharge of treated wastewater into the Northeast Cape Fear River. Additionally, authorization is
hereby granted to commence wastewater discharge in accordance with the effluent limitations contained in
NPDES Permit Number NC0002305 for flows in excess of 0.965 MGD and up to 1.25 MGD. An
evaluation of your existing treatment facilities shows that the facilities should be adequate for the proposed
1.25 MGD flow. If, however, your existing facilities prove inadequate to meet the effluent limitations
contained in NPDES Permit Number NC0002305, Guilford Mills will be required to immediately provide
adequate treatment capability and/or reduce the wastewater discharge to a rate that is within the treatment
capability of the facilities.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph B of NPDES
Permit No. NC0002305 issued November 1, 1994, and shall be subject to revocation unless the
wastewater treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and limitations specified in
Permit No. NC0002305.
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.
