IV Dear Mr Payne:
A letter of request for an Authorization to Construct was received June 26, 1991 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 chlorination facilities
consisting of a baffled 2,000 gallon chlorine contact tank, and a tablet chlorinator (sanuril model
1,000) to be added to the existing septic tank/ sand filter wastewater treatment system with
discharge of treated wastewater into an unnamed tributary to Stewart Creek, classified Class C
waters.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III paragraph A of
NPDES Permit No. NCO038822 issued April 15, 1988, and shall be subject to revocation unless
the wastewater treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and limitations
specified in Permit No. NC0038822.
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 Environmental
Management.
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, phone no. 919/ 896-7007, 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.
The subject wastewater treatment and disposal facilities shall be connected to an operational
publicly owned wastewater collection system within 180 days of its availability to the subject
facilities, if the subject wastewater treatment or disposal facilities are in noncompliance with the
terms and conditions of the NPDES permit, the Authorization to Construct, or the governing
statutes or regulations.
Prior to the initiation of these connection activities, appropriate approval must be received
from this Division.
Upon classification of the facility by the Certification Commission, the Permittee shall
-- - - employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator -to be in responsible charge of the
wastewater treatment facilities. The operator must hold a certificate of the type and grade at least
equivalent to the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by the Certification
Commission. Once the facility is classified, the Permittee must submit a letter to the Certification
Commission which designates the operator in responsible charge.
A copy of the approved plans and specifications shall be maintained on file by the Permittee
for the life of the facility.
A leakage test shall be performed on the chlorine contact tank to insure that any exfiltration
occurs at a rate which does not exceed twenty (20) gallons per twenty-four (24) hour per 1,000
gallons of tank capacity. The engineer's certification will serve as proof of compliance with this
condition.
Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Authorization to Construct may
subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Environmental Management in
accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6.
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
