facilities to change ownership, or there is a name change of the Permittee, a formal permit request
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.

to the surface waters of the State.
6. Per 15A NCAC 2H .0220, upon completion of construction and prior to operation of these
permitted facilities, the completed Engineering Certification form attached to this permit shall be

rules in 15A NCAC 2B .0200, erosion and sedimentation control requirements in 15A NCAC Ch. 4
and under the Division's General Permit NCG010000, and any requirements pertaining to wetlands
under 15A NCAC 2B .0200 and 15A NCAC 2H .0500.
11. Noncompliance Notification:

of adequate wastewater transport, such as mechanical or electrical failures of pumps, line
blockage or breakage, etc,; or
b. Any failure of a pumping station or sewer line resulting in a by-pass directly to receiving waters
without treatment of all or any portion of the influent to such station or facility,

Voice mail messages or faxed information is permissible, but shall not be considered as the
