2. 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 actions that may be
required by the Division of Water Quality (Division), such as the construction of additional or
replacement treatment or disposal facilities.

or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility.
4. Any residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed in accordance with General
Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the Division.
Diversion or bypassing of the untreated groundwater from the treatment facilities is prohibited.

II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS

characteristic, such as the dumping of the contents of a basin or tank, the known passage of a slug
of hazardous substance through the facility, or any other unusual circumstances;
b. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that renders the groundwater
treatment and disposal system incapable of adequate treatment and disposal, such as mechanical
or electrical failures of pumps, aerators, compressors, etc.;
c. Any failure of a pumping station, sewer line, or treatment facility resulting in a by-pass directly to
receiving waters without treatment of all or any portion of the influent to such station or facility;
or
d. Any time that self -monitoring information indicates that the groundwater treatment and disposal
system is not in compliance with any specified permit limitations.
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letter form within
five (5) days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report must outline the actions
taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur.
