CAWMP. The Permittee must make "major changes," "revisions," or "amendments" to the
CAWMP to address changes needed to maintain compliance with the facility's COC and this
General Permit. "Major changes," "revisions," and "amendments" to the CAWMP must be
documented, signed and dated by the Permittee and a technical specialist, and included as part of

a request that the COC be amended to reflect the changes. The facility may not make the changes
until approved by the Division and a new or amended COC has been issued. "Revisions" and
