A letter of request for Authorization to Construct was received November 21, 2005, by

the existing 30 MGD Archie Elledge Wastewater Treatment Plant, located on NCSR 2972, in
Winston-Salem with the discharge of treated wastewater into the Salem 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:
Construction of approximately 66,150 feet HDPE 8-inch pipeline (3 lines of
22,300 feet each in the same trench) and 750 feet of 6-inch pipeline to carry
Biosolids and Centrate along Salem and Muddy Creeks between the Muddy
Creek WWTP and Elledge WWTP, in conformity with the project plans,
specifications, and other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph A of
NPDES Permit No. NC0037834 issued June 28, 2004, and shall be subject to revocation unless

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 Winston-Salem 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 normal office hours from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding
State Holidays.
Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a
certification must be received from a professional engineer certifying that the permitted facility
has been installed in accordance with the NPDES Permit, this Authorization to Construct and the
approved plans and specifications. Mail the Certification to Cecil G. Madden, Jr., P.E.,

Upon classification of the facility by the Certification Commission, the Permittee shall
employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) of the
wastewater treatment facilities. The operator must hold a certificate of the type and grade at
least equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment
facilities by the Certification Commission.
The Permittee must also employ a certified back-up operator of the appropriate type and
grade to comply with the conditions of T15A:8G.0202. The ORC of the facility must visit each
Class I facility at least weekly and each Class II, III and IV facility at least daily, excluding
weekends and holidays, must properly manage the facility, must document daily operation and
maintenance of the facility, and must comply with all other conditions of T15A:8G.0202.
A copy of the approved plans and specifications shall be maintained on file by the
Permittee for the life of the facility.
During the construction of the proposed additions/modifications, the permittee shall
continue to properly maintain and operate the existing wastewater treatment facilities at all times,
and in such a manner, as necessary to comply with the effluent limits specified in the NPDES
Permit.
You are reminded that it is mandatory for the project to be constructed in accordance
with the North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control Act, and, when applicable, the North
Carolina Dam Safety Act. In addition, the specifications must clearly state what the contractor's
responsibilities shall be in complying with these Acts.
Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Authorization to Construct may
subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Water Quality in accordance
with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C.
