(A) All industrial users shall complete and file with the POTW, a permit application in the sequence hereby prescribed by the POTW and accompanied by the appropriate fee. Existing industrial users shall apply for a wastewater contribution permit within 60 days after the effective date of this chapter, and proposed new users shall apply at least 90 days prior to connecting to the POTW. No wastewater contribution permit shall be issued to any applicant unless and until the following information has been provided or the following conditions have been met, unless waived in writing by the Superintendent:
(1) Name, address and location (if different from the address) and name of owners and operator;
(2) Disclosure of Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) number according to the “Standard Industrial Classification Manual,” Bureau of the Budget, 1972, as amended;
(3) A plan map of the building, works, or complex with each outfall to the surface waters, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, natural watercourse, or groundwaters noted, described, and the waste stream identified. Air exhaust vents and rupture disks will also be noted when serving areas where potential problems exist. Contaminants that can accumulate on roofs from exhaust vents and can be flushed to the groundwater or sewers during a rain shall be noted.
(4) Detailed plans of treatment facilities; chemical or fuel storage areas; chemical use areas; and/or operational and support facilities that may affect waste control. Provide plans of plumbing and plans of inspection of sampling manholes. Provide plans for secondary containment at storage areas or large volume use areas to prevent sudden losses of materials from the plant to surface waters, groundwaters, storm sewers, or sanitary sewers.
(5) A report on raw materials entering the process or support systems, intermediate materials, final products, and waste byproducts as those factors may affect waste control. A material safety data sheet shall be provided for all materials used, stored, or discharged where brand names, product names or commercial names are listed.
(6) Information on each source of wastewater including:
(a) The amount of wastewater from each source;
(b) The amount of wastewater discharged at each location;
(c) A schedule of average daily flow, peak flow, peak flow rates, time and duration of flow variations and seasonal or monthly variations at each location;
(d) A statement of the present or expected bacterial, physical, chemical, radioactive or other pertinent characteristics of the wastes;
(e) Wastewater constituents and characteristics including but not limited to those mentioned in §§ 53.016 and 53.021 as determined by a reliable analytical laboratory; sampling and analysis shall be performed in accordance with procedures established by the EPA pursuant to Section 304(g) of the Act and contained in 40 CFR, Part 136, as amended.
(7) A statement on whether or not compliance is being achieved with this chapter on a continuing basis or whether additional equipment, operational changes, or maintenance activities are necessary for compliance with this chapter.
(8) Guidelines for prompt control of potential spills including equipment, materials, control procedures, cleanup procedures, personal protection required and requirements for notification of plant and government officials. Evaluate effects or potential losses in the sewer systems or other discharge systems.
(9) A schedule to sample, test, and file reports with the POTW and appropriate state agencies on appropriate characteristics of wastes at locations, and according to methods approved by the POTW.
(10) Place waste treatment facilities, process facilities, waste streams, storage facilities, transfer facilities, or other potential waste problems under the specific supervision and control of persons who have been designated by the owner and who have been accepted or certified by the POTW or the state as properly qualified to supervise such facilities.
(11) Manual(s) of instructions for operation and maintenance of waste control facilities, for loading and unloading of chemicals, for laboratory control, for other matters related to a pollution incident prevention plan, and for the training of personnel in the above areas of concern.
(12) Maintain records and file reports on the final disposal of specific liquids, solids, sludges, oils, radioactive materials, solvents, or other wastes.
(13) If any industrial process is to be altered as to include or negate a process waste or potential waste, written notification shall be given to the POTW, subject to approval.
(14) All permit applications for new or modified permits shall be signed by a principal executive officer of the discharger and, unless waived by the POTW, a qualified engineer (licensed professional). All renewal applications for existing permits or contracts shall be signed by a principal executive officer of the discharger.
(B) The POTW will evaluate the data furnished by the user and may require additional information. After evaluation and acceptance of the data furnished, the POTW may issue a wastewater contribution permit subject to terms and conditions provided herein.
