(A) Pursuant to the requirements imposed on publicly owned wastewater treatment works by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 and later amendments, all pretreatment Standards promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for new and existing industrial dischargers to public sewer systems are hereby made a part of this chapter. Any industrial waster discharge which violates these EPA Pretreatment Standards shall be in violation of this chapter.
(B) Where pretreatment or flow equalizing facilities are provided or required for any waters or wastes. The industry shall be solely responsible for the continued maintenance in satisfactory and effective operation of such facilities at their expense. The city may agree to assume these responsibilities if proper and appropriate arrangements for reimbursement of cost are made.
(C) Any person who transports septic tank, seepage pit or cesspool contents, liquid industrial waste or other batch liquid waste and wished to discharge such waste to the public sewer system shall first have a valid Trucker’s Discharge Permit. All applicants for a Trucker’s Discharge Permit shall complete the application form, pay the appropriate fee, and receive a copy of the city’s regulations governing discharge to sewers of liquid wastes from trucks. All persons receiving such permits shall agree, in writing, to abide by all applicable provisions of this chapter, and any other special provisions that may be established by the city as necessary for the proper operation and maintenance of the sewerage system.
(D) It shall be illegal to discharge any batch liquid waste into any manhole or other part of the public sewer system, or any building sewer or other facility that discharges to the public sewer system, except at designated points of discharge specified by the city for such purpose.
(E) Any liquid waste hauler illegally discharging to the public sewer system shall be subject to immediate revocation of discharge privileges and further subject to the penalties and enforcement actions prescribed in § 53.999.
(F) Waste haulers who have been granted permission to discharge to the public sewer system shall pay fees for such discharge in accordance with a fee schedule established by the Superintendent and approved by the city.
(G) Nothing in this chapter shall relieve waste haulers of the responsibility for compliance with County Health Department, state, or federal regulations.
