Should the village find that a non-residential user does not meet pretreatment standards and requirements applicable to its discharge, causes or contributes to potential problems at the POTW, or when analysis of waste or observation of the effect of such wastes on the POTW indicate that said wastes cannot be treated satisfactorily at such works, or that said wastes are injurious to the POTW, or to the treatment processes, or pollute the natural waters within the village, its service areas or the Waters of the State of Illinois additional pretreatment and/or O&M will be required by the village to meet pretreatment standards and requirements. Such facilities as the village may deem necessary for pretreatment of the wastes shall be furnished by and at the expense of the user as a condition of the discharge of said wastes into the POTW or to any natural water within the village service area.
(A) Pretreatment review. The Pretreatment Coordinator will require the user to initiate a pretreatment review through a telephone call, letter or certified letter to the authorized representative of the user.
(B) Pretreatment initiation meeting. A pretreatment initiation meeting will be held between the Pretreatment Coordinator and the user to discuss the problem and the solution to said problem. If it is determined that changes in operation and maintenance, plant modifications, and/or the installation of pretreatment equipment must occur in order to resolve noncompliance, a schedule shall be established with events and completion deadlines agreeable to both parties to resolve the noncompliance. If appropriate, a compliance agreement defining the agreed upon schedule will be sent from the village to the user shortly after the meeting. If a schedule for compliance acceptable to the Pretreatment Coordinator cannot be established, the matter will be referred for further enforcement action consistent with the provisions of Article 14 as appropriate.

Progress reports will be filed by the user on a schedule agreed to by the Pretreatment Coordinator concerning the completion of major events leading to the construction and operation of additional pretreatment required for the user to meet the applicable pretreatment standards (such events include, but are not limited to, hiring an engineer, completing preliminary and final plans, executing contracts for major components, commencing and completing construction, and beginning and conducting routine operation). The user shall identify whether or not it complied with the increment of progress, the reason for any delay, and, if appropriate, the steps being taken by the user to return to the established schedule.
(D) Final report. A final report will be filed with the Pretreatment Coordinator by the user normally required within 90 calendar days from the end of the schedule deadline to verify the success or failure or the schedule objective chosen by the user. The final report will if appropriate identify the steps being taken by the user to resolve noncompliance.
