A letter of request for an Authorization to Construct was received June 28, 2012, by the
Division of Water Quality (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 modifications to the existing 2.5 MGD Brevard Wastewater Treatment Plant,
with discharge of treated wastewater into the French Broad River in the French Broad 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 four (4) new static fine screens to provide a total peak influent
screening capacity of 7.72 MGD including two existing screens, 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. NC0060534 issued May 31, 2006, and shall be subject to revocation unless
the wastewater treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and
limitations specified in Permit No. NC0060534.
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 Division. -

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 the Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater
treatment or disposal facilities.
The Asheville 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

approved plans and specifications. Mail the Certification to: Infrastructure Finance Section,

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.
