The groundwater treatment system shall consistently achieve at least 95% removal of the influent
contaminants or 15A NCAC 2L Section .0202(g) Class GA Standards (whichever is higher) prior to
discharge to the infiltration gallery. The treated water discharged into the infiltration gallery must not
cause a violation of Class GA Standards for any constituent beyond the Compliance Boundary, nor cause
the migration of the contamination into unaffected areas. If the treatment system fails to consistently
achieve this standard, additional treatment units or changes in operational needs may be required.
2. This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to adequately assimilate the remaining 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be rescinded unless the facilities are installed, maintained, and operated in a manner, which will protect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 and groundwaters.
The issuance of this permit shall not relieve Catalent Pharma Solutions, LLC of the responsibility for
damages to surface or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility.
4. Any residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed in accordance with General
Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the Division.

discharge of any wastewater resulting from the operation of this facility. The groundwater recovery,
treatment and disposal system shall be inspected weekly. If it is determined that the system is
malfunctioning or leading to the release of wastes to the environment, a threat to human health, or a
nuisance, all repairs should be made as soon as possible and reported to the Mooresville Regional Office
(see Section V. NONCOMPLIANCE NOTIFICATION). All components of the groundwater recovery,
treatment, and disposal system shall be properly weather -proofed to prevent freezing and failure of the
system.

10, MW -11 and MW -12 shall be sampled at startup and every April and October thereafter for the
parameters listed below:
