(B) Significant industrial users classified as a “categorical industrial user” that does not discharge wastewater into the sanitary sewer are required to obtain a nondischarge categorical industrial user control mechanism.
(C) The Public Works Superintendent may require other industrial users to obtain industrial wastewater discharge permits as necessary to carry out the purposes of this subchapter.
(D) Any violation of the terms and conditions of an industrial wastewater discharge permit shall be deemed a violation of this subchapter and subjects the wastewater discharge permittee to the sanctions set out in §§ 55.079 through 53.093.
