(Division) Gravity Sewer Minimum Design Criteria adopted February 12, 1996, as applicable; the
Division's Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Stations and Force
Mains adopted June 1, 2000, as applicable; and other supporting materials unless specifically
mentioned herein.
2. This permit shall be effective only with respect to the nature and volume of wastes described in the
application and other supporting data.
3. The wastewater collection facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times. The
Perrnittee shall maintain compliance with an individual system -wide collection system permit for the
operation and maintenance of these facilities as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0227. If an individual
permit is not required, the following performance criteria shall be met as provided in 15A NCAC 2H
