A. Individual Wastewater Discharge Permit Issued To Significant Industrial Users (SIUs) Which Includes Categorical Industrial Users (CIUs): No SIU, including any CIU, shall discharge wastewater into the POTW without first obtaining an individual wastewater discharge permit from the pretreatment coordinator except that a SIU, including any CIU, that has filed a timely application pursuant to this chapter may continue to discharge for the time period specified therein.
B. General Wastewater Discharge Permit Issued To SIU And CIU: At the discretion of the pretreatment coordinator, the village may use general wastewater discharge permits to control SIU or CIU discharges to the POTW if the following conditions are met:
1. Involve the same or substantially similar type of operations;
2. Discharge the same types of waste;
3. Require the same effluent limitations or best management practices;
4. Require the same or similar monitoring and/or reporting requirements; and
5. In the opinion of the pretreatment coordinator, are more appropriately controlled under a general permit than under individual wastewater discharge permits.
C. The pretreatment coordinator may require other users to obtain wastewater discharge permits as necessary to carry out the purposes of this chapter. Any user subject to national categorical pretreatment standards that opts not to discharge pollutants shall obtain a zero wastewater discharge permit issued by the pretreatment coordinator. Holders of wastewater discharge permits issued under this section shall not be classified as significant industrial users.
D. Other Wastewater Discharge Permits: The pretreatment coordinator may require other non-residential users to obtain either individual or general discharge permits as necessary to carry out the purposes of this chapter. Holders of wastewater discharge permits issued under this section shall not be classified as significant industrial users. Non-residential users with wastewater discharge permits in this class may include but are not limited to:
1. Any user that has been determined to be a non-significant categorical industrial user as defined in section 8-2-1-7;
2. Any user that has been determined not to be a significant industrial user as defined in section 8-2-1-7 that the pretreatment coordinator requires to be regulated by wastewater discharge permit;
3. Any user subject to national categorical pretreatment standards that opts not to discharge pollutants shall obtain a zero process wastewater discharge permit;
4. Any user that is a non-categorical zero process wastewater discharger that the pretreatment coordinator determines shall be permitted;
5. Non-significant regulated users (NSRU) as defined below:
a. NSRU that discharge a process wastewater flow greater than or equal to one half percent (0.5%) of the POTW's design dry-weather hydraulic capacity, or five thousand (5,000) gallons per day, whichever is smaller;
b. NSRU that discharge more than or equal to one half percent (0.5%) of the design dry-weather organic treatment capacity of the POTW;
c. NSRU that discharge one half percent (0.5%) of the maximum allowable headworks loading for any pollutant regulated by a local limit developed in accordance with section 8-2-5-5; or
d. NSRU that intermittently discharge any individual batch or batches that would meet the criteria in subsections D1, D2, or D3 above when discharged or otherwise has the potential to discharge a slug load to the POTW;
6. Non-residential users that have devices installed to remove oils, grease and sand;
7. Food service establishments (FSE) in accordance with subsection 8-2-8-2C;
8. Trucked waste;
9. Batch waste; and
10. Non-residential users required to eliminate or control specified pollutants from their wastestream through the development and implementation of a best management practice (BMP) plan.
E. Any violation of the terms and conditions of an individual or general wastewater discharge permit shall be deemed a violation of this chapter and subject the wastewater discharge permittee to the sanctions set out in sections 8-2-13 through 8-2-15 of this chapter. Obtaining an individual or general wastewater discharge permit does not relieve a permittee of its obligation to comply with all federal and state pretreatment standards or requirements or with any other requirements of federal, state, and local law.
