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.
3. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages

significant amounts of contaminated groundwaters 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
groundwater treatment and disposal system incapable of adequate treatment and
disposal, 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

d. Any time that self -monitoring information indicates that the groundwater treatment and
disposal system is not in compliance with any specified permit limitations.
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letter
form within five (5) days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report must
outline the actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur.
