waters.
2. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those
actions that may be required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or
replacement treatment or disposal facilities.

reporting schedule shall be followed.
2. Noncompliance Notification:

number 910-486-1541, as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours or on the
next working day following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of any of
the following:
a. Any occurrence at the wastewater treatment facility which results in the treatment of
significant amounts of wastes which are abnormal in quantity or characteristic, such as
the dumping of the contents of a basin or tank, the known passage of a slug of
hazardous substance through the facility, or any other unusual circumstances;
b. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that renders the facility
incapable of adequate wastewater treatment, such as mechanical or electrical failures of
pumps, aerators, compressors, etc.;
c. Any failure of a pumping station, sewer line, or treatment facility resulting in a by-pass
directly to receiving waters without treatment of all or any portion of the influent to
such station or facility; or

with its permit limitations.

total chromium.
If the system's effluent concentration of total chromium is found to be less than 85%
removal efficiency, the pumping of the associated recovery wells shall be ceased until
adequate ion exchange capacity is provided to meet this effluent quality criteria.

monitor the volume of groundwater pumped and treated from the chromium plume. Daily
flow measurements shall be recorded and maintained by the permittee.
