(A) Pretreatment and flow equalization. Each industrial user is responsible for the industrial wastes it admits to the system. The industrial user shall provide pretreatment and/or flow equalization as necessary to comply with this chapter and shall achieve compliance with all categorical pretreatment standards, local limits and prohibitions set forth in § 52.10 within the time limitations specified by EPA, the state or the city, whichever is more stringent. Any facilities necessary for compliance shall be continuously and properly operated and maintained at the user’s expense. Detailed plans describing the facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the city for review and approval before the facilities are constructed. The review of the plans and operating procedures shall in no way relieve the user from responsibility for modifying facilities as necessary to produce a discharge acceptable to the city under the provisions of the ordinance.
(B) New source compliance. Existing sources which become industrial users subsequent to promulgation of an applicable categorical pretreatment standard shall be considered existing industrial users except where the sources meet the definition of a new source as defined in § 52.05. New sources shall install and have in operating condition, and shall “start up” all pollution control equipment required to meet any applicable substantive or procedural requirement related to pretreatment, before beginning to discharge. Within the shortest feasible time (not to exceed 90 days), new sources must meet all applicable pretreatment standards and requirements.
