Users subject to NCPS shall submit a report to the City or WRA Director containing the information described in subsection 100.20(2), within 90 days following the date for final compliance with applicable NCPS or, in the case of a new source, following commencement of discharge. Users subject to equivalent mass or concentration limits shall provide a reasonable measure of the user's long-term production rate. For all other users subject to NCPS expressed in terms of allowable pollutant discharge per unit of production (or other measure of operation), this report shall include the user's actual production during the appropriate sampling period. All reports must contain the certification statement and be signed in accordance with Section 100.30 of this chapter.
(Ord. 2118 - Sep. 22 Supp.)
Wastewater discharge permits shall include such conditions as are reasonably deemed necessary by the WRA Director to prevent pass through or interference, protect the quality of the water body receiving the POTW's effluent, protect worker health and safety, facilitate the WRA's sludge management and disposal program, and protect against damage to the POTW. The WRA Director may include, but need not be limited to, the following:
(Ord. 2118 - Sep. 22 Supp.)
1. Limits on the average or maximum rate of discharge, time of discharge, or requirements for flow regulation and equalization.
2. Limits on the average or maximum concentration, mass, or other measure of identified wastewater constituents or properties.
3. Requirements for the installation of pretreatment technology or construction of appropriate containment devices, etc., designed to reduce, eliminate, or prevent the introduction of pollutants into the POTW.
4. Development and implementation of spill control plans or other special conditions including additional management practices necessary to adequately prevent accidental, unanticipated, or prohibited discharges.
5. The unit charge or schedule of user charges and fees for the management of the wastewater discharged to the POTW.
6. Requirements for installation and maintenance of inspection, sampling, and flow monitoring facilities and equipment for each separate discharge into the POTW.
7. Specifications for monitoring programs which may include sampling locations, frequency of sampling, number, types, and standards for tests, and reporting schedules.
8. Compliance schedules.
9. Requirements for submission of technical reports or discharge reports and which may include production data.
10. Requirements for maintaining and retaining plant records relating to wastewater discharge, as specified by the WRA Director, and affording the WRA Director or designated representatives access thereto.
11. Requirements for the notification of any substantial change in the manufacturing processes, pretreatment processes, quantity or quality of waste discharged to the POTW 90 days prior to such change. The WRA Director shall approve, deny, or condition a changed discharge prior to a change occurring in accordance with the provisions of Section 100.07(4) of this chapter.
12. Requirements for notification of excessive, accidental, or slug discharges.
13. Other conditions as deemed appropriate by the WRA Director to ensure compliance with this chapter, and State and Federal laws, rules, and regulations.
14. A statement that compliance with the permit does not relieve the permittee of responsibility for compliance with all applicable Federal pretreatment standards, including those which become effective during the term of the permit.
Permits shall be issued for a specified period, not to exceed five (5) years. Permit fees shall be due annually to the WRA regardless of the term of permit. Permitted users shall apply for new permit by submitting a completed permit application a minimum of ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the user's existing permit.
The WRA Director may modify the permit for good cause including, but not limited to, the following:
1. To incorporate any new or revised Federal, State, or local pretreatment standard or requirement (after becoming aware of more stringent standards or requirements, the WRA will update permits within 90 days).
2. Material or substantial alterations or additions to the dischargers’ operation processes, or discharge volume or character which were not considered in drafting the effective permit.
3. A change in any condition in either the industrial user or the POTW that requires either a temporary or permanent reduction or elimination of the authorized discharge.
4. Information indicating that the permitted discharge poses a threat to the POTW, to the City, the WRA, POTW personnel or the receiving water.
5. Violation of any terms or conditions of the permit.
6. Misrepresentation of or grant of variance from such categorical standards pursuant to 40 CFR 403.13.
7. To correct typographical or other errors in the permit.
8. To reflect transfer of the facility ownership or operation to a new owner/operator.
9. Upon request of the permittee, provided such request does not create a violation of any applicable requirements, standards, laws, or rules and regulations.
The filing of a request by the permittee for permit modification, revocation and reissuance, termination, or a notification of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance, does not stay any permit condition.
The WRA Director may deny a permit to any user whose discharge of material to POTW, whether shown upon application, including test results submitted by applicant, or determined after inspection and testing conducted by the WRA or its operating contractor, is not in conformity with this chapter or whose application is incomplete or does not comply with the requirements of Section 100.20.
