(A) Wastewater analysis. When requested by the Wastewater Supervisor, a user must submit information on the nature and characteristics of its wastewater within 60 days of the request. The Wastewater Supervisor is authorized to prepare a form for this purpose and may periodically require users to update this information.
(B) Individual wastewater discharge permit requirement.
(1) No significant industrial user shall discharge wastewater into the POTW without first obtaining an individual wastewater discharge permit from IDEM.
(2) The Wastewater Supervisor may require other users to obtain individual wastewater discharge permits as necessary to carry out the purposes of this chapter.
(3) The Wastewater Supervisor is authorized to accept or deny new or increased dischargers. A permit from IDEM does not supersede this authority.
(4) Any violation of the terms and conditions of an individual wastewater discharge permit shall be deemed a violation of this chapter and subjects the wastewater discharge permittee to the sanctions set out in §§ 53.14 and 53.15. Obtaining an individual 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.
(C) Existing connections. Any user required to obtain an individual wastewater discharge permit who was discharging wastewater into the POTW prior to the effective date of this chapter and who wishes to continue such discharges in the future, shall, within 30 days after said date, apply to the IDEM for an individual wastewater discharge permit.
(D) New connections. Any user required to obtain an individual wastewater discharge permit who proposes to begin or recommence discharging into the POTW must obtain such permit prior to the beginning or recommencing of such discharge. An application for this individual wastewater discharge permit, must be filed at least 90 days prior to the date upon which any discharge will begin or recommence.
