Authorization to Construct
Amherst Subdivision

Dear Mr. Ward:
A letter of request for an Authorization to Construct was received August 15, 1996 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 an additional treatment train at the above referenced
facility consisting of seven 5,000 gallon aeration basins, an additional surge tank, ferric sulfate feed, a
6,200 gallon clarifier, tablet chlorinator and dechlorinator and post aeration with final discharge of treated
wastewater into Middle Creek in the Neuse River Basin.
It is the Division's understanding that at the current time, water is supplied to the subdivision via
two wells powered by the same substation that powers the treatment system. Should anything change
with regards to the power configuration or water source, the permittee will notify the Division. Upon
review of the situation, the Division may require the installation of emergency on -site power.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph A of NPDES
Permit No. NC0061638 issued February 18, 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. NC0061638.
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 Water Quality.
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 Raleigh 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 in -place 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 the Permits and Engineering Unit, P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, NC
27626-0535.
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 Title 15A, Chapter 8A, .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, and
must properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the facility and must comply with
all other conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8A, .0202. Once the facility is classified, the Permittee must
submit a letter to the Certification Commission which designates the operator in responsible charge within
thirty days after the wastewater treatment facilities are 50% complete.
A copy of the approved plans and specifications shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for the
life of the facility.
The sand media of the tertiary filters must comply with the Division's sand specifications. The
engineer's certification will be evidence that this certification has been met.
The Operational Agreement between the Permittee and the Environmental Management
Commission is incorporated herein by reference and is a condition of this Permit. Noncompliance with the
terms of the Operational Agreement shall subject the Permittee to all sanctions provided by G. S. 143-
215.6 for violation of or failure to act in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Permit.
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.
The issuance of this Authorization to Construct does not preclude the Permittee from complying
with any and all statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances which may be imposed by other government
agencies (local, state, and federal) which have jurisdiction.
One (1) set of approved plans and specifications is being forwarded to you. If you have any
questions or need additional information, please contact Mr. Mark McIntire, telephone number (919) 733-
5083, extension 553. •
