(5) No structure may be erected to house gaming under a nonrestricted license. (6) No facility for the treatment of sewage may be constructed or enlarged except: (A) To comply, as ordered by the appropriate State agency for the control of water pollution, with existing limitations of effluent under the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. §1251 et seq., and the applicable State law for control of water pollution; (B) To accommodate development which is not prohibited or limited by this subdivision; or (C) In the case of Douglas County Sewer District # 1, to modify or otherwise alter sewage treatment facilities existing on the effective date of the amendments to this compact so that such facilities will be able to treat the total volume of effluent for which they were originally designed, which is 3.0 million gallons per day.
