At no time shall wastewater flows exceed the limits defined in this permit, or exceed the sewer capacity downstream of any new sewer extension or service connection. The Permittee shall report the measured monthly average amount of wastewater flow contributed per unit (GPD/residence) for the 12 months prior to permit renewal. If any of these monthly averages are within 20% of the approved value, the Permittee shall reevaluate the approved value using the methodology applied to determine the approved flow rate of 250 GPD/residence, and submit this information with the renewal application for reevaluation of the approve flow rate. [15A NCAC 02T .0114(f)] 12. The Permittee shall retain the Division's written approval of the authorized adjusted daily design flow rate for the life of this facility, and shall transfer this approval to any future Permittee.
