(e)

(1) For any Land Application Permit or State permit which is inconsistent with a plan or plan amendment approved under section208(b)(b) of the CWA, unless the Department finds such variance necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare;

(2) In reissuance of a Land Application Permit or State permit which requires connection to a regional sewer system or other treatment facilities under the water quality management plan under section208 of the CWA, once the permittee is notified by the Department that the regional sewer system is operational.

(f) To a new source or a new discharger, if the discharge from its construction or operation will cause or contribute to the violation of groundwater or surface water quality standards. The Department may issue a permit if the owner or operator of a new source or new discharger proposing to discharge, which does not currently meet applicable groundwater or surface water quality standards or is not expected to meet those standards even after the application of the effluent limitations, demonstrates that the existing dischargers are subject to compliance schedules designed to bring the area into compliance with applicable ground or surface water quality standards.
