A. Specific Requirements: The following requirements shall apply to all users of the POTW:
1. All users shall promptly notify the WRA Director in advance of any substantial change in the volume or character of pollutants in their discharge.
2. New or increased contributions of pollutants or changes in the nature of pollutants discharged to the POTW shall require prior approval by the WRA Director.
3. Industrial users shall notify the WRA Director, the Environmental Protection Agency Regional Waste Management Division Director, and State hazardous waste authorities in writing of any discharge into the POTW of a substance which, if otherwise disposed of, would be a hazardous waste under 40 CFR 261. The notification shall comply with the requirements set forth in 40 CFR 403.12(p).
4. Discharge of any pollutants without the notice and approval required by this section is prohibited. Upon the receipt of notice required by this section, the WRA Director shall within one hundred eighty (180) days or less approve the discharge if he or she finds the proposed discharge meets applicable pretreatment standards and requirements and would not cause the WRA to violate its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit. The WRA Director shall deny permission for the discharge if he or she finds applicable pretreatment standards and requirements are not met or the discharge would cause a violation of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit for the WRF. In lieu of denial of permission for discharge, the WRA Director may allow such discharge or contribution upon conditions which would not violate applicable pretreatment standards or requirements and would not cause a violation of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit for the WRF.
5. Food service establishments shall be regulated first under article A of this chapter but may be required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit and be subject to the requirements of this chapter if the WRA Director determines that additional pretreatment is required in order to comply with fat, oil, and grease discharge limits.
B. Permit: Any part of this section notwithstanding, upon receipt of the notice required by this section, the WRA Director may require, in addition to the requirements of this section, that an industrial user obtain a permit under this chapter. Users who are determined to be industrial users as herein defined and who refuse to apply for or obtain a wastewater discharge permit shall be subject to termination of sewer services as provided in section 8-3-38 of this chapter.
