A letter of request for an Authorization to Construct was received by the Division on May 10,

• Any necessary piping and appurtenances.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph A of NPDES
Permit No. NC0061492 issued March 30, 1994, and shall be subject to revocation unless the wastewater
treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and limitations specified in Permit
