(A) Whenever deemed necessary, the Superintendent may require users to restrict their discharge during peak flow periods, designate that certain wastewater be discharged only into specific sewers, relocate and/or consolidate points of discharge, separate sewage waste streams from industrial waste streams, and such other conditions as may be necessary to protect the POTW and determine the user’s compliance with the requirements of this chapter.
(B) The Superintendent may require any person discharging into the POTW to install and maintain, on his or her property and at his or her expense, a suitable storage and flow-control facility to ensure equalization of flow and temperature. A wastewater discharge permit may be issued solely for flow equalization.
(C) Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the Superintendent, they are necessary for the proper handling of wastewater containing excessive amounts of grease and oil, or sand; except that such interceptors shall not be required for residential users. All interception units shall be of the type and capacity approved by the Superintendent and shall be so located to be easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Such interceptors shall be inspected, cleaned, and repaired regularly, as needed, by the user at their expense.
(D) Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter.
(E) Users which operate vehicular wash facilities shall provide, operate and maintain pretreatment facilities approved by the Superintendent to control solids and preclude the discharge of toxins to the POTW.
(F) Users which operate food preparation facilities shall provide, operate and maintain pretreatment facilities approved by the Superintendent to control the discharge of greases, fats, oils and food solids to the POTW.
(G) Subject to the U.S. EPA Region 5, NPDES Programs Branch, Pollutant Minimization Program (PMP), the Superintendent may require any industrial user to participate in activities to identify and reduce mercury loadings. This requirement is directed at mercury pollutant minimization. The directive would require industrial dischargers to initiate a Mercury Reduction Plan within 12 months of written notice from the Superintendent. The discharger would be required to provide a written progress report within the first 90 days of the notice and have full implementation of its plan within 36 months of the original notice.
