the construction of the following specific modifications:
One (1) mechanical bar screen and grit removal system rated for 0.48 MGD average
flow; a screening lift station with dual 250 GPM pumps; the repurposing of two (2)
aeration basins at the lower plant into two (2) cross -connected 60,000 gallon flow
equalization basins with four (4) 269 GPM at 53 ft TDH transfer pumps (two
pumps per basin), piping, and controls; in conformity with the project plans,
specifications, and other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the
Department of Environmental Quality.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph A of
NPDES Permit No. NCO065684 to be issued effective October 1, 2016, and shall be subject to
