normal office hours from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding State
Holidays.
3. The reclaimed water utilization facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times
so that there is no discharge to the surface waters, nor any contamination of ground waters, which
will render them unsatisfactory for normal use. In the event that the facilities fail to perform
satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions or failure of the irrigation area to
adequately assimilate the wastewater, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective actions
including those actions that may be required by the Division of Water Quality (Division), such as
the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment and disposal facilities.
4. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to
surface water or ground water resulting from the operation of this facility.
The 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.
6. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is prohibited.

7. The following buffers shall be maintained:

e. 50 feet between reclaimed water storage/irrigation ponds, and property lines, and
L 50 feet between wastewater treatment units and property lines.
8. Public access to the irrigation sites shall be controlled during active site use. Such controls may
include the posting of signs'showing the activities being conducted at each site. A sign shall be
