(A) The owner of any industry discharging industrial wastewater into the sewage works in excess of 5% of the design capacity of the wastewater treatment plant or who is classified as a significant industrial user shall install a special control manhole on each discharge line to the sewage works. The special control manhole shall be approved by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) and the city utilities prior to the installation and be in accordance with local, state, and federal construction standards and specifications.
(B) Construction shall be completed by the date set and agreed upon by the control authority and the industrial user unless written authorization for time extension is otherwise granted by the control authority. The special control manhole shall provide for future installation of a volume measuring device and an automatic proportional sampler, if required. The owner shall design, construct, operate, and maintain the special control manhole at his expense. The special control manhole shall normally be situated on the private property of the industry, but if in the judgment of the city utilities, this location is impractical or causes undue hardship on the control authority or the industry, this manhole may be constructed in the public right-of-way. Should the industrial user have valid reasons not to construct a control manhole, the owner shall, therefore, make a request of the city utilities or a duly authorized representative of the control authority, in writing, requesting that a waiver be granted. After an inspection of the industrial user's facility has been made, a determination shall be made whether to grant said waiver. Should said waiver be granted, this waiver would be in effect only until such time that the control authority agrees to.
