GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
This Section of the Licence contains requirements intended to provide guidance to the Licencee in implementing practices to ensure that the environment is maintained in such a manner as to sustain a high quality of life, including social and economic development, recreation and leisure for present and future Manitobans.
1. Notwithstanding any of the following limits, terms and conditions specified in this Licence, the Licencee shall, upon the request of the Director:
   
   1. sample, monitor, analyze and/or investigate specific areas of concern regarding any segment, component or aspect of pollutant storage, containment, handling, treatment, and disposal or emission systems, for such pollutants, ambient quality, toxicity, seepage characteristics and discharge or emission rates, and for such duration and frequencies as may be specified; and/or
      
   2. determine the environmental impact associated with the release of any pollutants from the Development; and/or
      
   3. provide the Director, within such time as may be specified, with such reports, drawings, specifications, analytical data, descriptions of sampling and analytical procedures being used, bioassay data, flow rate measurements and such other information as may from time to time be requested.

2. The Licencee shall, unless otherwise specified in this Licence:
   
   1. carry out all preservations and analyses on liquid samples in accordance with the methods prescribed in the most current edition of "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater" published jointly by the American Public Health Association, the American Waterworks Association and the Water Pollution Control Federation, or in accordance with an equivalent analytical methodology approved by the Director; and
      
   2. ensure that all analytical determinations are undertaken by a laboratory accredited by CAEAL or an equivalent accrediting agency.

3. The Licencee shall report all the information requested through the provisions of this Licence in a manner and form acceptable to the Director.
   SPECIFICATIONS, LIMITS, TERMS AND CONDITIONS
   Respecting Liquid Wastes

4. The Licencee shall, unless otherwise approved by the Director:
   
   1. direct all sewage and process wastewater, generated in the operation of the Development, only into on-site holding tanks; and
      
   2. have the contents of the holding tanks withdrawn, as needed, and hauled by a licensed hauler to the municipal sewage lagoon facility serving the Town of The Pas, for deposition into that facility in accordance with such conditions of agreement as may be applied by the Town of The Pas.

5. The Licencee shall ensure that any holding tanks used for sewage and other wastewaters comply with the requirements of Manitoba Regulation 95/88R, or any future amendment thereto, respecting private sewage disposal systems and privies.

6. The Licencee shall for the first two years following the commencement of operations at the Development:
   
   1. keep records of the pump-out volumes from each holding tank;
