enforcement action by the Division, in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes §143-
215.6A through §143-215.6C.
9. In the event that the wastewater collection facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the
creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those
as may be required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement facilities.
10. The issuance of this permit shall not exempt the Permittee from complying with any and all statutes,
rules, regulations, or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (local, state and
federal) which have jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable river buffer rules in 15A
NCAC 2B .0200, erosion and sedimentation control requirements in 15A NCAC Ch. 4 and under the

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.
