of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between

be final and binding.

requirements to be followed in case of change in ownership or control of this discharge.
This permit does not affect the legal requirement to obtain other permits which may be
required by the Division of Environmental Management or permits required by the Division of
Land Resources, Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental
