Industrial General Permit Order

Discharge Technical Report shall demonstrate the facility meets the
eligibility requirements described above.

4. The No Discharge Technical Report shall be signed (wet signature and
license number) by a California licensed professional engineer.

XXI. STANDARD CONDITIONS

A. Duty to Comply

Dischargers shall comply with all standard conditions in this General Permit.
Permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act and the
Water Code and is grounds for enforcement action and/or removal from
General Permit coverage.

Dischargers shall comply with effluent standards or prohibitions established
under section 307(a) of the Clean Water Act for toxic pollutants within the time
provided in the regulations that establish these standards or prohibitions.

B. Duty to Reapply

Dischargers that wish to continue an activity regulated under this General
Permit after the expiration date of this General Permit shall apply for and obtain
authorization from the Water Boards as required by the new general permit
once it is issued.

C. General Permit Actions

1. This General Permit may be modified, revoked and reissued, or terminated
for cause. Submittal of a request by the Discharger for General Permit
modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination, or a notification of
planned changes or anticipated noncompliance does not annul any General
Permit condition.

2. If a toxic effluent standard or prohibition (including any schedule of
compliance specified in such effluent standard or prohibition) is promulgated
under section 307(a) of the Clean Water Act for a toxic pollutant which is
present in the discharge, and that standard or prohibition is more stringent
than any limitation on the pollutant in this General Permit, this General
Permit shall be modified or revoked and reissued to conform to the toxic
effluent standard or prohibition.

D. Need to Halt or Reduce Activity Not a Defense

In an enforcement action, it shall not be a defense for a Discharger that it would
have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to
maintain compliance with the conditions of this General Permit.
