application and other supporting data.
3. The wastewater collection facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times. The
Permittee shall maintain compliance with an individual system -wide collection system permit for the
operation and maintenance of these facilities as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0227. If an individual
permit is not required, the following performance criteria shall be met as provided in 15A NCAC 2H

b. A map of the sewer system shall be developed prior to January 1, 2004 and shall be actively
maintained.
c. An operation and maintenance plan shall be developed and implemented.
d. Pump stations that are not connected to a telemetry system shall be inspected every day (i.e.

shall be submitted to the Division accompanied by documentation from the parties involved, and
other supporting materials as may be appropriate. The approval of this request shall be
considered on its merits and may or may not be approved.

interrupt service by the existing utilities nor result in an overflow or bypass discharge of wastewater
to the surface waters of the State.
6. Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of these permitted facilities, a certification, a
copy of the construction record drawings, as well as supporting design calculations for any pump
stations permitted as part of this project shall be received from a North Carolina -licensed

enforcement action by the Division, in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes §143-
215.6A through §143-215.6C.
9. In the event that the wastewater collection 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
facilities.
10. The issuance of this permit shall not exempt the Permittee from complying with any and all
