so that there is no discharge to the surface waters, nor any contamination of ground waters, which
will render them unsatisfactory for normal use. In the event that the facilities fail to perform
satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions or failure of the irrigation area to
adequately assimilate the wastewater, the Permittee .shall take immediate corrective actions
including those actions that may be required by the Division of Water Quality (Division), such as
the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment and disposal facilities.
4. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to

operated in conformity with la'--I\nd the provisions of the permit for co, ruction, operation, repair, and
maintenance of the system and facilities. The Declaration and Bylaws shall identify the entire
wastewater treatment, collection and disposal system as a common element, which will receive the
highest priority for expenditures by the Association except for Federal, State, and local taxes and
insurance.
The DEVELOPER shall provide in the Declaration and Association Bylaws that the Disposal System will
be maintained out of the common expenses. In order to assure that there shall be funds readily
available to repair, maintain or construct the Disposal System, beyond the routine operation and
maintenance expenses, the Declaration and Association Bylaws shall provide that a fund be created out
of the common expenses. Such fund shall be separate from the routine maintenance funds allocated for
the facility and shall be part of the yearly budget.
6. In the event the common expense allocation and separate fund are not adequate for the construction,
repair, and maintenance of the Disposal System, the Declaration and Association Bylaws shall provide
for special assessments to cover such necessary costs. There shall be no limit on the amount of such
assessments, and the Declaration and Bylaws shall provide that such special assessments can be made
as necessary at any time.
' 7. ' If a wastewater collection system and wastewater treatment and/or disposal facility provided by any city,
town, village, county, water and sewer authorities, or other unit of government shall hereinafter become
available to serve the Development, the DEVELOPER shall take such action as is necessary to cause
the existing and future wastewater of the Development to be accepted and discharged into said
governmental system, and shall convey or transfer as much of the Disposal System and such necessary
easements as the governmental unit may require as condition of accepting the Development's
wastewater.
8. Recognizing that it would be contrary to the public interest and to the public health, safety and welfare for
the Association to enter into voluntary dissolution without having made adequate provision for the
continued proper maintenance, repair and operation of its Disposal System, the DEVELOPER shall
provide in the Association Bylaws that the Association shall not enter into voluntary dissolution without
first having transferred its said system and facilities to some person, corporation or other entity
acceptable to and approved by the COMMISSION by the issuance of a permit.
9. The agreements set forth in numbered paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; 7, and 8 above shall be conditions of
any permit issued by the COMMISSION to the DEVELOPER for the construction, maintenance, repair
and operation of the Disposal System.
10. A copy of this agreement shall be filed at the Register of Deeds in the County(ies) where the Declaration
is filed and in the offices of the Secretary of State of North Carolina with the Articles of Incorporation of
the Association.

Design Criteria adopted February 12, 1996 as applicable; and the Division's Minimum Design Criteria

unless specifically mentioned herein. Division approval is based on acceptance of the certification
provided by the North Carolina -licensed Professional Engineer named in the application. It shall be the
Permittee's responsibility to ensure that the as -constructed project meets the appropriate design criteria
and rules. Failure to comply may result in penalties in accordance with North Carolina General Statute
§143-215.6A through §143-215.6C, construction of additional or replacement wastewater collection
facilities, and/or referral of the North Carolina -licensed Professional Engineer to the licensing board.
