H. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
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 utilization 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.
2. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to ground

modification request to this reclaimed water program permit and upon proper construction and
operation of distribution lines to be tied into either end of the distribution line approved in this permit.
Future distribution line specifications must include quality assurance testing procedures and those
procedures, upon approval, must be used prior to operation of this line. 1f potable water is used in the
distribution system prior to reclaimed water becoming available, the Permittee shall develop specific
cross connection control protocols to prevent cross connection when reclaimed water is subsequently
used. When potable water is being used in the reclaimed water lines, the lines shall not be used for
potable purposes.
4. Construction of the reclaimed water bulk distribution system shall be scheduled so as not to interrupt
service by the existing wastewater system nor result in an overflow or bypass discharge of reclaimed
water to the surface waters of the State.
5_ Reclaimed water distributed through the bulk fill operations shall not exceed the effluent limitations
specified in Attachment A.
6. Reclaimed water distributed through the bulk fill operations shall be limited to the uses specified in
Attachment: Approved Bulk Fill Reclaimed Water Uses.
7. Compliance and Review Boundaries for the reclaimed utilization areas have not been established
pursuant to 15A NCAC 02T .0905. Any exceedance of groundwater standards shall require action in
