The following requirements apply to all users of the POTW:
1. All users shall promptly notify the WRA Director in advance of any substantial change in the volume or character of pollutants in their discharge.
2. New or increased contributions of pollutants or changes in the nature of pollutant discharged to the POTW shall require prior approval by the WRA Director.
3. Industrial users shall notify the WRA Director, the EPA Regional Waste Management Division Director, and State hazardous waste authorities in writing of any discharge into the POTW of a substance which, if otherwise disposed of, would be a hazardous waste under 40 CFR part 261. The notification shall comply with the requirements set forth in 40 CFR 403.12(p).
4. Discharge of any pollutants without the notice and approval required by this chapter is prohibited. Upon the receipt of notice required by this chapter the WRA Director shall within 180 days or less approve the discharge if the Director finds the proposed discharge meets applicable pretreatment standards and requirements and would not cause the WRA to violate its NPDES permit. The Director shall deny permission for the discharge if he or she finds applicable pretreatment standards and requirements are not met or the discharge would cause the POTW to violate its NPDES permit. In lieu of denial of permission the WRA Director may allow such contribution or discharge upon conditions which would not violate applicable pretreatment standards or requirements and would not cause the WRF to violate its NPDES permit.
5. Food service establishments shall be regulated first under Chapter 101 of this Code of Ordinances but may be required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit and be subject to the requirements of this chapter if the WRA Director determines that additional pretreatment is required in order to comply with fat, oil and grease discharge limits.
Any part of this section notwithstanding, upon receipt of the notice required by this section, the Director may require, in addition to the requirements of this section, that an industrial user obtain a permit under this chapter. Users who are determined to be industrial users as herein defined and who refuse to apply for or obtain a wastewater discharge permit shall be subject to termination of sewer services as provided in Section 100.41 hereof.
