Section 9VAC25-790-190 - CTO

A. Issuance. Upon receipt of the construction completion statement, the director may issue a final CTO. However, the director may delay the granting of the CTO pending inspection, or satisfactory evaluation of effluent test results, to ensure that the work has been satisfactorily completed.

B. Conditional CTO. A conditional CTO may be issued specifying final approval conditions, with specific time periods, for completion of unfinished work, submission of operations and maintenance manual, sludge management plans, or other appropriate items.

The director may issue a conditional CTO to owners of sewerage systems or treatment works for which the required information for completion of construction has not been received. Such CTOs will contain appropriate conditions requiring the completion of any unfinished or incomplete work including approval of a closure plan and subsequent submission of the statement of completion of construction.

C. Final CTO. Consideration will be given to issuance of an interim CTO to individual unit operations of the treatment process system so as to allow utilization of these unit operations prior to completion of the total project. A final CTO shall be issued upon verification that the requirements of this chapter have been complied with.
