Project Permitting

Upon the issuance of the ROD, the partners have begun activities to obtain permits for construction of the proposed project.  Permits and approvals from several Federal, State, and Local agencies are necessary.

There are several components to the WWRWMF project, including raw wastewater pipelines and pump stations, a water reclamation facility (WRF), treated wastewater pipelines, and a discharge to the Cape Fear River that are planned to be constructed with 13 separate construction contracts. Each construction contract will require it's own set of permits specific to that project, and many of the contracts require different sets of permits from one another.

The image below is a snapshot of all the permits anticipated by the Partner's for each contract.

Each page provides a list of all the required permits for that contract with links to the issuing agencies, the current (or anticipated) schedule refelecting where the Partner’s are in the process, and information regarding any opportunities for public outreach during the permitting process.
