B. It is unlawful for any person to discharge or cause the discharge of normal domestic wastewater, liquid wastes or industrial waste into a part of the wastewater system generally used for maintenance or monitoring, including, but not limited to, manholes, cleanouts or sampling chambers, unless the discharges are specifically approved in writing by the Chief Executive Officer.
C. It is unlawful for any person to withdraw liquid wastes or industrial wastes collected in a grease trap, grease/sand interceptor, or other waste collection tank and to reinject any portion thereof into the wastewater system, a private sewer facility or a different grease trap, grease/sand interceptor or other waste collection tank that is directly or indirectly connected to the wastewater system, except at designated disposal facilities or locations approved and designated by the Chief Executive Officer.
D. It is unlawful for any person to discharge any substance directly into a manhole or other opening in the wastewater treatment system other than through an approved service line.

A. The Chief Executive Officer may implement BMPs under a Silver Source Control Program for any industrial user who has the potential to discharge waste silver-rich photochemical solutions into the wastewater system. Industrial users that are significant industrial users may be eligible for coverage under the Silver Source Control Program if approved by the Chief Executive Officer.
B. Industrial users subject to coverage under the Silver Source Control Program shall comply with BMPs and treatment requirements contained in the Silver Source Control Policies and Procedures Manual.
C. Prior to the discharge, the discharger shall install, operate, maintain, and monitor process treatment equipment capable of consistently achieving discharge concentrations which shall not exceed four hundred milligrams per liter (400 mg/L). It is unlawful to fail to either install, operate, or maintain wastewater treatment equipment.
D. In order to assure compliance with the POTW's CDPS permits, compliance with local limits and the MAHL, and to prevent pass-through; or otherwise protect the wastewater system, the Chief Executive Officer may modify the Silver Source Control Policies and Procedures Manual in accordance with subsection 12.1.110B of this chapter, to require more restrictive treatment requirements, to impose numeric limits, to require discharge monitoring and/or other conditions determined to be necessary by the Chief Executive Officer. Alternatively, the Chief Executive Officer may revoke coverage under the Silver Source Control Program and may issue an individual control mechanism or discharge permit.

Industrial users that are significant industrial users are not eligible for coverage under the Mercury Source Control Program.
B. Industrial users subject to coverage under the Mercury Source Control Program shall comply with BMPs and treatment requirements contained in the Mercury Source Control Policies and Procedures Manual. In addition, dental dischargers shall comply with the BMPs and treatment requirements contained in the Mercury Source Control Policies and Procedures Manual and the Dental Amalgam Pretreatment Standards found in 40 CFR Part 441.
C. In order to assure compliance with the POTW CDPS permits, local limits, and the MAHL; and to prevent pass-through or otherwise protect the wastewater system, the Chief Executive Officer may modify the Mercury Source Control Policies and Procedures Manual in accordance with subsection 12.1.110B of this chapter, to require more restrictive treatment requirements or BMPs, to impose numeric limits, to require discharge monitoring, and/or other conditions determined necessary by the Chief Executive Officer. Alternatively, the Chief Executive Officer may revoke coverage under the Mercury Source Control Program and may issue an individual control mechanism or discharge permit.
D. If an industrial user exceeds the local limit for mercury, is not in compliance with the requirements contained in the Mercury Source Control Program, or otherwise is designated by the Chief Executive Officer as a significant industrial user, the Chief Executive Officer shall revoke coverage under the Mercury Source Control Program. The Chief Executive Officer may require a discharge permit or may issue an individual control mechanism. Remedies for noncompliance shall be in accordance with part 12 of this article. (Ord. 06-195; Ord. 10-82; Ord. 18-42; Ord. 19-34)
A. The Chief Executive Officer may develop BMPs to implement the prohibitions of section 12.5.702 of this part and the local limits of subsection 12.5.703B of this part. BMPs shall be considered pretreatment standards and local limits for purposes of this article and section 307(d) of the Act. Additionally, BMPs may be categorical pretreatment standards, established by the EPA.
B. The Chief Executive Officer may develop general BMPs that are applicable to categories of industrial users, categories of activities or geographic areas. Adoption of general BMPs shall be in accord with subsection 12.1.110B of this chapter.
C. Elements of a BMP may include, but are not limited to:
1. Installation of treatment.
2. Requirements for or prohibitions on certain practices or discharges.
3. Requirements for the operation and maintenance of treatment equipment.
4. Time frames associated with key activities.
5. Procedures for compliance certification, reporting and records retention.
6. Provisions for reopening and revoking BMPs.
D. Any industrial user may be required to comply with BMPs. BMPs may be incorporated in categorical pretreatment standards, discharge permits, control mechanisms, and orders. (Ord. 06-195; Ord. 10-82; Ord. 18-42; Ord. 19-34)
