The alteration or addition could significantly change the nature or increase the quantity of pollutants discharged, or; <br />b. The alteration or addition results in a significant change in the permittee's sludge use or disposal practices, and such <br />alteration, addition, or change may justify the application of permit conditions that are different from or absent in the <br />existing permit, including notification of additional use or disposal sites not reported pursuant to an approved land <br />application plan. <br />The permittee shall give advance notice to the Division of any planned changes in the permitted facility or activity which may <br />result in noncompliance with permit requirements. <br />Whenever notification of any planned physical alterations or additions to the permitted facility is required pursuant to this <br />section, the permittee shall furnish the Division such plans and specifications which the Division deems reasonably necessary <br />to evaluate the effect on the discharge, the stream, or ground water. If the Division finds that such new or altered discharge <br />might be inconsistent with the conditions of the permit, the Division shall require a new or revised permit application and <br />shall follow the procedures specified in Sections 61.5 through 61.6, and 61.15 of the Colorado Discharge Permit System <br />Regulations. <br />3. Special Notifications - Definitions <br />a. Bypass: The intentional diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility. <br />b. Severe Property Damage: Substantial physical damage to property at the treatment facilities which causes them to <br />become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in <br />the absence of a bypass.
