I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to adequately absorb the wastes and may
be rescinded unless the facilities are installed, maintained, and operated in a manner which
will protect the assigned water quality standards of the surface waters and ground 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 as
may be required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement
treatment or disposal facilities.
3. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages
to surface or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility.

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 render the facility
incapable of adequate wastewater treatment such as mechanical or electrical failures
