PART I <br />Page No. 43 <br />Permit No.: CO-0000213 <br />(B) A less stringent effluent limitation is necessary because of events over which the permittee has no control and <br />for which there is not reasonable available remedy; or <br />(C) The permittee has received a permit variance; or <br />(D) The permittee has installed the treatment facilities required to meet the effluent limitations in the previous <br />permit and has properly operated and maintained the facilities but has nevertheless been unable to achieve the <br />previous effluent limitations, in which case, the limitations in the reviewed, reissued, or modified permit <br />may reflect the level of pollutant control actually achieved (but shall not he less stringent than required by <br />effluent guidelines in effect at the time of permit renewal, reissuance, or modification). <br />c. In no event may a permit with respect to which paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section apply be renewed, reissued, or <br />modified to contain an effluent limitation or standard which is less stringent than required by federal effluent <br />guidelines in effect at the time the permit is renewed, reissued, or modified. In no event may such a permit to <br />discharge into state waters be renewed, reissued, or modified to contain a less stringent effluent limitation if the <br />implementation of such limitation would result in a violation of an applicable water quality standard. <br />17. Effect of Permit Issuance <br />a. The issuance of a permit does not convey any property rights or any exclusive privilege. <br />b. The issuance of a permit does not authorize any injury to person or property or any invasion of personal rights, nor <br />does it authorize the infringement of federal, state, or local laws or regulations. <br />c. Except for any toxic effluent standard or prohibition imposed under Section 307 of the Federal act or any standard for <br />sewage sludge use or disposal under Section 405(d) of the Federal act, compliance with a permit during its term <br />constitutes compliance, for purposes of enforcement, with Sections 301, 302, 306, 318, 403, and 405(a) and (b) of <br />the Federal act. However, a permit may be modified, revoked and reissued, or terminated during its term for cause <br />as set forth in Section 61.8(8) of the Colorado Discharge Permit System Regulations. <br />d. Compliance with a permit condition which implements a particular standard for sewage sludge use or disposal shall <br />be an affirmative defense in any enforcement action brought for a violation of that standard for sewage sludge use or <br />disposal. <br />Attachment 2.05.3(3)-18-47 <br />
