(A) Whenever deemed necessary, the city 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 wastestreams from industrial wastestreams 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 city 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. An individual discharge permit may be issued solely for flow equalization.
(C) Grease, oil and/or sand interceptors (i.e., traps) provided by the user, shall be installed by all restaurants discharging to the POTW; provided, however, that this requirement may be waived by the city on a case-by-case basis with respect to a restaurant which is not discharging wastewater with oil and grease in greater that normal domestic sanitary sewage levels. In addition, grease traps shall be provided and installed by other users when, in the opinion of the city, they are necessary for the proper handling of any wastewater containing excessive amounts of grease and oil, or sand; except that such interceptors shall not be required for domestic users. All interception units shall be of a type and capacity approved by the city 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 his or her expense. Records of grease trap inspections and maintenance and receipts from the discharge or disposal of all grease shall be maintained onsite at each facility required to have a grease trap.
(D) Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter.

(A) Each user shall provide protection from any discharge, including, but not limited to, accidental discharges, discharges of a non-routine, episodic nature, a non-customary batch discharge, or a slug load or slug, of prohibited wastewater, materials or other substances regulated by this chapter, or that may cause potential problems for the POTW. All facilities needed to prevent such discharges shall be provided and maintained at the user’s own cost and expense.
(B) The coordinator shall periodically evaluate whether each significant industrial user needs an accidental discharge/slug control plan. The coordinator may also require any user to develop, submit for approval, and implement such a plan. Alternatively, the coordinator may develop such a plan for any user. An accidental discharge/slug control plan shall address, at a minimum, the following:
(1) Description of discharge practices, including non-routine batch discharges;
(2) Description of stored chemicals;
(3) Procedures for immediately notifying the POTW of any accidental or slug discharge, as required by § 52.090; and
(4) Procedures to prevent adverse impact from any accidental or slug discharge. Such procedures include, but are not limited to, inspection and maintenance of storage areas, handling and transfer of materials, loading and unloading operations, control of plant site runoff, worker training, building of containment structures or equipment, flow equalization measures and/or facilities, measures for containing toxic organic pollutants, including solvents, and/or measures and equipment for emergency response.

(A) Septic tank waste may be introduced into the POTW only at locations as may be designated by the coordinator, and at such times as may be established by the coordinator; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require the city or the POTW to accept any hauled or septic tank waste at any time from any source. Such waste shall not violate this chapter or any other requirements established by the city. The coordinator may require septic tank waste haulers to obtain individual wastewater discharge permits.
(B) Haulers of any industrial waste shall obtain individual wastewater discharge permits from the city prior to disposing industrial waste in the city POTW. The coordinator may require generators of hauled industrial waste to obtain wastewater discharge permits. The coordinator also may prohibit the disposal of hauled septic and/or industrial waste. The discharge of hauled industrial waste is subject to all other requirements of this chapter.
(C) Industrial waste haulers may discharge loads only at locations designated by the coordinator. No load may be discharged without prior consent of the coordinator. The coordinator may collect samples of each hauled load to ensure compliance with applicable limits and standards. The coordinator may require the industrial waste hauler to provide a waste analysis of any load prior to discharge.
(D) Industrial waste haulers must provide a waste-tracking form for every load. This form shall include, at a minimum, the name and address of the industrial waste hauler, permit number, truck identification, names and addresses of sources of waste, and volume and characteristics of waste. The form shall identify, at a minimum, the type of industry, known or suspected waste constituents and whether any wastes are RCRA hazardous wastes.

WASTEWATER DISCHARGE PERMITS
When requested by the city, a user must submit information on the nature and characteristics of its wastewater within 30 days of the request, or within such other time frame as may be requested by the city. The coordinator is authorized to prepare a form for this purpose and may periodically require users to update this information.
(Ord. 1433, passed 7-1-2002)
(A) The city may require various users of the POTW to obtain wastewater discharge permits as necessary to carry out the purposes of this chapter.
(B) Any violation of the terms and conditions of a wastewater discharge permit shall be deemed a violation of this chapter and subjects the wastewater discharge permittee to the sanctions set forth in §§ 52.113 through 52.115 and any other applicable sanctions under federal and state law. Obtaining a wastewater discharge permit does not relieve a permittee of its obligation to comply with all federal and state pretreatment standards or requirements or with any other requirements of federal, state and local law.
(C) Any new discharger of industrial waste into the city POTW shall notify the city of his, her or their intent to discharge at least 30 days prior to commencing such discharge.
(Ord. 1433, passed 7-1-2002)
Any existing user required by the city to obtain a wastewater discharge permit shall, within 30 days after the date of notification by the city of the need for a permit, apply to the coordinator for a wastewater discharge permit in accordance with § 52.064, and shall not cause or allow discharges to the POTW to continue beyond 90 days after the date of such notification by the city except in accordance with a wastewater discharge permit issued by the coordinator; provided, however, that the city may allow continued discharge beyond the applicable 90-day period (prior to permit issuance) for good cause.
