(a) Industrial users shall provide necessary wastewater treatment as required to comply with this chapter, Federal pretreatment standards and permit conditions, and shall achieve compliance with all national categorical pretreatment standards within the time limitations as specified by the Federal pretreatment regulations.
(b) Any facilities required to pretreat wastewater shall be provided, operated and maintained at the industrial user's expense. New sources shall install and have in operating condition and shall "start-up" all pollution control equipment required to meet applicable pretreatment standards before beginning to discharge. Within the shortest feasible time (not to exceed ninety days), new sources must meet all applicable pretreatment standards. Detailed plans showing the pretreatment facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the Director of Public Works for review and shall be approved by the Director of Public Works before construction of the facility. The review and approval of plans and operating procedures does not relieve the industrial user from complying with the provisions of this chapter and permit conditions. Any subsequent changes in the pretreatment facilities or method of operation shall be reported to and approved by the Director of Public Works prior to the industrial user's initiation of the changes.
(c) The Director of Public Works may issue an industrial user discharge authorization (permit) for not more than five years upon application by a user subject to Section 1040.51. Applications for industrial user discharge authorizations shall contain such material as required to evaluate the user effluent, including, but not limited to, information required in Section 1040.53.
(d) Each user shall provide protection from accidental discharge of prohibited materials or other wastes regulated by this chapter. In each instance, detailed plans showing the required pretreatment facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the City for review and shall be approved by the City before construction of the facility. The review and approval of such plans and operating procedures shall in no way relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying the facilities as necessary to produce an effluent complying with this chapter. Any subsequent changes in the required pretreatment facilities or method of operating affecting the effluent shall be reported to, and approved by, the City. The facilities shall be available for inspection by the Director at all reasonable times. No authorization to construct or operate the pretreatment facilities shall be valid until all conditions herein have been satisfactorily met.
(e) A person who violates any of the provisions of this section shall be subject to the penalty provided in Section 1040.99(a).
