reclaimed water generation and utilization facilities. [15A NCAC 02T .0108(b)]
2. The Permittee or their designee shall inspect the reclaimed water generation and utilization facilities to
prevent malfunction, facility deterioration and operator errors resulting in discharges, which may cause
the release of wastes to the environment, a threat to human health or a public nuisance. The Permittee
shall maintain an inspection log that includes, at a minimum, the date and time of inspection,
observations made, and any maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions taken. The Permittee shall
maintain this inspection log for a period of five years from the date of the inspection, and this log shall
be made available to the Division upon request. [ 15A NCAC 02T .0108(b)]
3. Any duly authorized Division representative may, upon presentation of credentials, enter and inspect
any property, premises or place on or related to the reclaimed water generation and utilization facilities
permitted herein at any reasonable time for the purpose of determining compliance with this permit;
may inspect or copy any records required to be maintained under the terms and conditions of this permit,
and may collect groundwater, surface water or leachate samples. [G.S. 143-215.1]
VI. GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. Failure to comply with the conditions and limitations contained herein may subject the Permittee to an
enforcement action by the Division in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.6A to
143-215.6C. [G.S. 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C]
2. This permit shall become voidable if the permitted facilities are not constructed in accordance with the
conditions of this permit, the Division approved plans and specifications, and other supporting

WQ0015931 Version 4.0 Shell Version 171103 Page 9 of 10
variances to applicable rules governing the construction or operation of the permitted facilities are
granted, unless specifically requested and approved in this permit pursuant to 15A NCAC 02T .0105(n).

4. The issuance of this permit does not exempt the Permittee from complying with any and all statutes,
rules, regulations, or ordinances, which may be imposed by other jurisdictional government agencies
(e.g., local, state, and federal). Of particular concern to the Division are applicable river buffer rules in
15A NCAC 02B .0200; erosion and sedimentation control requirements in 15A NCAC Chapter 4 and
under the Division's General Permit NCGO10000; any requirements pertaining to wetlands under 15A

requirements under 15A NCAC 02H .0100, and documentation of compliance with Article 21 Part 6
of Chapter 143 of the General Statutes. [15A NCAC 02T .0105(c)(6)]
In the event the permitted facilities change ownership or the Permittee changes their name, a written
permit modification request shall be submitted to the Division. This request shall be made on official
Division forms, and shall include appropriate property ownership documentation and other supporting
documentation as necessary. The Permittee of record shall remain fully responsible for maintaining
and operating the facilities permitted herein until a permit is issued to the new owner. [15A NCAC
02T .0104]
6. The Permittee shall retain a set of Division approved plans and specifications for the life of the facilities
permitted herein. [15A NCAC 02T .0108(b)(1)]
7. The Permittee shall maintain this permit until all permitted facilities herein are properly closed or
permitted under another permit issued by the appropriate permitting authority. [15A NCAC 02T
.01050)]
8. This permit is subject to revocation or unilateral modification upon 60 days notice from the Division
Director, in whole or part for the requirements listed in 15A NCAC 02T .0110. [ 15A NCAC 02T .0110]
9. Unless the Division Director grants a variance, expansion of the permitted facilities contained herein
shall not be granted if the Permittee exemplifies any of the criteria in 15A NCAC 02T .0120(b). [15A
NCAC 02T .0120]
10. The Permittee shall pay the annual fee within 30 days after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay
the annual fee accordingly shall be cause for the Division to revoke this permit. [15A NCAC 02T
.0105(e)(3)]
