(a) Grounds for suspension or revocation. The director may suspend or revoke a trap/interceptor permit if the director determines that a permit holder:
(1) violated any provision of this article, any rule or regulation promulgated by the director under this article, or any other applicable city ordinance or state or federal law;
(2) failed to comply with procedures for developing, maintaining, or delivering manifest records required to be developed, maintained, or delivered pursuant to this article, Chapter 49 of this code, or state or federal laws or regulations for the transfer, transportation, or disposal of industrial waste; or
(3) falsified or improperly altered manifest records required to be developed, maintained, or delivered pursuant to this article, Chapter 49 of this code, or state or federal laws or regulations for the transfer, transportation, or disposal of industrial waste.
(b) Appeals. If the director denies the issuance or renewal of a trap/interceptor permit or suspends or revokes a trap/interceptor permit, the director shall send to the applicant or permit holder, by certified mail, return receipt requested, written notice of the action and of the right to an appeal. The applicant or permit holder may appeal the decision of the director to the permit and license appeal board in accordance with Section 2-96 of this code. The filing of a request for an appeal hearing with the permit and license appeal board stays an action of the director revoking a permit until the permit and license appeal board makes a final decision.
(c) Reinstatement. After suspension under this section, a permit holder may file a request for reinstatement of the permit. The director shall reinstate the permit if the director determines that:
(1) the permit holder is again qualified under Section 19-126.3;
(2) all violations of this article, Chapter 49 of this code, and applicable federal pretreatment standards and requirements have been corrected;
(3) precautions have been taken by the permit holder to prevent future violations; and
(4) all fees required by this chapter have been paid.
(d) New permit after revocation. If the director revokes a permit, the permit holder may not apply for or be issued a new permit for the same facility earlier than 180 days after the date of revocation of the old permit, except that, if, subsequent to the revocation, the director determines that all of the conditions prescribed in Section 19-126.3 are completely satisfied, the permit holder may apply for and the director may issue a new permit before the 180-day period expires.
(e) Discharge without permit. A permit holder whose permit is suspended or revoked shall not discharge industrial waste into the wastewater system. (Ord. 28084)
