excluding State Holidays.
3. This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to adequately assimilate the wastes and
may be rescinded unless the facilities are installed, maintained, and operated in °a manner
which will protect the assigned water quality standards of the surface waters and ground
waters.
4. 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 this Division, such as the construction of additional or
replacement treatment or disposal facilities.
5. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages
to surface or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility.
6. 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 North Carolina Division of

significant amounts of contaminated groundwaters which are abnormal in quantity or
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

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.
IV, GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
1. The groundwater treatment system shall consistently achieve a treatment efficiency such
that the effluent is below Groundwater 2L Standards prior to discharge to the infiltration
trench. If the treatment system fails to consistently achieve this standard, additional
treatment units or changes in operational methods may be, required.
2. All components of the groundwater recovery, treatment, and disposal system shall be
properly weather -proofed to prevent freezing and failure of the system.
