Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permits shall be expressly subject to all provisions of this chapter and all other applicable regulations, user charges and fees established by the city. The City Engineer may authorize an industrial user subject to a categorical pretreatment standard to forego sampling of a pollutant regulated by a categorical pretreatment standard if the industrial user has demonstrated through sampling and other technical factors that the pollutant is neither present nor expected to be present in the discharge or is present only at background levels from intake water and without any increase in the pollutant due to activities of the industrial user. This authorization is subject to the conditions established in 40 CFR 403.12(e)(2). Permits shall contain the following:
(A) The unit surcharges or schedule of other charges and fees for the wastewater to be discharged to a community sewer;
(B) Effluent limits, including best management practices, on the average and/or maximum wastewater constituents and characteristics;
(C) Limits on average and/or maximum rate and time of discharge or requirements for flow regulations and equalization;
(D) Requirements for installation and maintenance of inspection and sampling facilities;
(E) Specifications for monitoring programs which may include sampling location; frequency of sampling; number, type and standards for tests; and reporting schedule;
(F) Compliance schedules;
(G) Requirements for submission of technical reports or discharge reports.
(H) Requirements for maintaining and retaining, for a minimum of three years, all plant records relating to pretreatment and/or wastewater discharge as specified by the city, and affording city access thereto as required by 40 CFR 403:12(o)(2);
(I) Requirements for notification of the City Engineer or any new introduction of wastewater constituents or any substantial change in the volume or character of the wastewater constituents being introduced into the wastewater treatment system.
(J) Requirements for notification of slug discharges.
(K) The permit may require the user to reimburse the city for all expenses related to monitoring, sampling and testing performed at the direction of the City Engineer and deemed necessary by the city to verify that the user is in compliance with said permit.
(L) Other conditions as deemed appropriate by the city to ensure compliance with this chapter.
(M) Requirements to control slug discharge, if determined by the City Engineer, to be necessary.
(N) A statement of applicable civil and criminal penalties for violation of pretreatment standards and requirements, and any applicable compliance schedule. Such schedule may not extend the time for compliance beyond that required by applicable federal, state or local law.
