13.20.2.9: DEADLINE FOR COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE PRETREATMENT REQUIREMENTS:
Compliance by existing users (categorical users) covered by categorical pretreatment standards must be achieved within three (3) years of the date the standard is effective unless a shorter compliance time is specified in the appropriate standard. The city will establish a final compliance deadline date for any existing user not covered by categorical pretreatment standards or for any categorical user when the local limits for the user are more restrictive than EPA's categorical pretreatment standards.
New source dischargers and new users are required to comply with applicable pretreatment standards within the shortest feasible time (not to exceed 90 days from the beginning of discharge). New sources and new users must install and have in operating condition, and must start up all pollution control equipment required to meet applicable pretreatment standards before beginning to discharge.
Any wastewater discharge permit issued to a categorical user will not contain a compliance date beyond any deadline date established in EPA's categorical pretreatment standards. Any other existing user or a categorical user that must comply with a more stringent local limit, which is in noncompliance with any local limits will be provided with a compliance schedule placed in an industrial wastewater permit to ensure compliance within the shortest time feasible.
