in proportion to the amount of flow occurring at the time of their collection. Such
Samples may be composed of equal aliquots being collected after equal
predetermined volumes of flow pass the Sample point or of flow proportional Grab
Sample aliquots being collected at predetermined time intervals so that at least eight
(8) aliquots are collected per twenty-four(24) hours.

PART III
GENERAL CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
A. Duty to Comply
The Industrial User must comply with all conditions of the Permit. Any non-compliance with the Permit
constitutes a violation of the SUO and may be grounds for possible enforcement action. The MSD may levy fines
of up to twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00)per day per violation. The Industrial User may be subject to
criminal penalties levied by the State of North Carolina or the United States of America.
B. Duty to Mitigate-Prevention of Adverse Impact
The Industrial User shall take all reasonable steps to minimize or prevent any discharge in violation of the Permit
which has a reasonable likelihood of adversely affecting human health, the MSD Treatment Plant, the French
Broad River,or the environment.

control facilities or systems installed or used by the Industrial User to achieve compliance with the terms and
conditions of the Permit and the SUO.
E. Bypass
1. Bypass of treatment facilities is prohibited. MSD may take enforcement action against the Industrial User
for bypass unless MSD approves when such bypass is in compliance with 40 CFR 403.17. Such conditions
are:
a. Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life,personal injury or severe property damage;
b. There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass. This condition is not satisfied if adequate back-up

to MSD.
2. If the Industrial user does not know of the bypass in advance,it must submit verbal notice to MSD as soon
as the Industrial User becomes aware of the bypass. The verbal notice shall be followed with a written
submission. The written submission shall describe the bypass and its cause; state how long the bypass
occurred including exact dates and times,and if the bypass has not been corrected,the anticipated time it is
expected to continue; and steps taken or planned to reduce, eliminate and prevent reoccurrence of the
bypass.

PART III
GENERAL CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
F. Flow Measurement
1. Flow measuring and recording facilities shall be maintained to provide an accurate measurement of the
volume discharged. If it is the determination of the MSD that when,in the opinion of the MSD or Industrial
User, the flow measuring and recording facilities are not sufficiently measuring the flow, the MSD may
require recalibration or change-out at the expense of Industrial User. If no effluent/process measurement
devices are installed, or if flow measurement devices malfunction, the permittee shall record the water
meter reading providing water to the facility at the beginning and end of each composite sample collection
time period,convert this to an estimate of the daily discharge flow for each pipe,and report this value on the
discharge monitoring report form.
2. The permittee shall install appropriate discharge flow measurement devices and methods consistent with
approved scientific practices to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements of the volume of
monitored discharges. Devices installed shall be a continuous recording flow meter capable of measuring
flows with a maximum deviation of less than 10% from true discharge rates throughout the range of
expected discharge volumes. The devices shall be installed, calibrated,and maintained to ensure accuracy.
Modifications to the flow metering equipment shall be approved by the Control Authority prior to
installation.
3. Any malfunction of flow monitoring and recording equipment shall be reported by the Industrial User
immediately to MSD by phone followed by a written report submitted to the General-Manager of MSD
within five (5) days of the malfunction. Any malfunction must be corrected within seven (7) days.
Certification of accuracy must be provided to MSD within fifteen (15) days of the date of repair.
G. Reports of Changed Conditions
1. The Industrial User shall give notice to the General Manager of any planned significant changes to the
operations or system which might alter the nature,quality,or volume of its wastewater at least 180 days
before the change. The Industrial User shall not begin the changes until receiving written approval from
MSD. Significant changes may include but are not limited to the following:
a. increases or decreases to production;
b. increases in discharge of previously reported pollutants;
c. discharge of pollutants not previously reported;
d. new or changed product lines;
e. new or changed manufacturing processes.

Industrial Waste has been issued by MSD for the proposed discharge or until MSD amends an existing
Permit.
H. Removed Substances
Solids,sludge,filter backwash,or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of wastewaters
shall be disposed of in a manner such as to prevent any pollutants from such materials from entering the sewer
system. The Industrial User is responsible for assuring its compliance with any requirements regarding the
generation, treatment, storage, or disposal of "Hazardous Waste" as defined under the Federal Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act.

PART III
GENERAL CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
I. Upset Conditions
An "Upset" of Pretreatment Facilities means an exceptional incident in which there is an unintentional and
temporary noncompliance with the effluent limitations of the Permit or with categorical Pretreatment Standards
because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the Industrial User. An Upset does not include
noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed or inadequate treatment
facilities,lack of preventative maintenance,or careless or improper operations.
An Upset may constitute an affirmative defense for action brought for the noncompliance. The Industrial User
has the burden of proof to provide evidence and demonstrate that none of the factors listed in the preceding
paragraph were responsible for the noncompliance.
J. Sludge Management
Ninety days prior to the initial disposal of sludge generated by any pretreatment facility, the permittee shall
submit a sludge management plan to the Control Authority.
K. Toxic Pollutants
If a toxic effluent standard or prohibition (including any schedule of compliance specified in such effluent
standard or prohibition) is established under Section 307(a) of the Federal Clean Water Act or North Carolina
General Statutes 143-215.1 for a Toxic Pollutant which is present in the discharge and such standard or
prohibition is more stringent than any limitation for such pollutant in the Permit,the Permit may be revised or
modified in accordance with the toxic effluent standard or prohibition.
L. Accidental Discharges and Slug Loads
The Industrial User shall provide protection from accidental and slug discharges of prohibited materials or other
substances regulated by the Permit.
1. Such protection shall include,but is not limited to; the construction of containment dikes,the rerouting of
all floor drains in the manufacturing area to a holding area,and the plugging of floor drains. Modifications
to the measures shall be approved by MSD prior to installation or implementation.
2. A written contingency plan shall be submitted to MSD,which outlines the procedures to be taken by the
Industrial User in the event that an accidental spill or leak of a prohibited substance occurs. The plan
shall also include notification procedures outlined in Part II, Section D.3.b.,c.,and d.of this Permit.
a. The Industrial User shall review and revise,as needed,the written contingency plan every three (3)
years.
