Proper operation and maintenance includes effective performance and adequate laboratory and process <br />controls, including appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary <br />facilities or similaz systems which aze installed by the permittee only when necessary to achieve compliance with the <br />conditions of the permit. <br />10. Minimization of Adverse Impact <br />The permittee shall take all reasonable steps to minimize or prevent any discharge or sludge use or disposal in violation of <br />this permit which has a reasonable likelihood of adversely affecting human health or the environment.

Bvoass <br />a. Bypasses are prohibited and the Division may take enforcement action against the permittee for bypass, unless: <br />i. The bypass is unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury, or severe property damage; <br />ii. There were no feasible alternatives to bypass such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of <br />untreated wastes, or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if <br />adequate back-up equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to <br />prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and <br />iii. Proper notices were submitted in compliance with Part II.A.4. <br />b. "Severe property damage" as used in this Subsection means substantial physical damage to the treatment facilities <br />which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably <br />be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by <br />delays in production. <br />c. The permittee may allow a bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded, but only if it also <br />is for essential maintenance or to assure optimal operation. These bypasses are no[ subject to the provisions of <br />paragraph a. above. <br />The Division may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering adverse effects, if the Division determines that the <br />bypass will meet the conditions specified in paragraph a. above. <br />
