(a) The POTW Manager may require any user to develop and implement best management practices to control,, contain, treat, prevent, or reduce the discharge of wastewater, pollutants or other substances from the user’s premises to the POTW, as determined necessary by the Manager.
(b) In addition, the POTW Manager may require a user to develop and submit a Best Management Practices Plan (“BMPP”), including an enforceable implementation schedule, for review and approval by the Manager. The BMPP shall be submitted within 30 days after notification by the Manager or as otherwise required by a user permit. The BMPP shall be directed at preventing the entrance of pollutants, directly or indirectly, into the POTW. The BMPP shall be available for inspection at all times at the user’s premises. At a minimum, a user’s BMPP shall contain all of the following elements, as determined necessary by the POTW Manager, at a level of detail and in units and terms as determined necessary by the Manager to adequately evaluate the plan:
(1) A statement of the purpose and objectives of the plan.
(2) A description of the strategies, methods, policies and procedures to prevent, minimize or reduce the introduction of pollutants into the user’s discharge and to minimize waste generation.
(3) A description of the options available to the user to control accidental spillage, leaks and drainage.
(4) A description of best available or practicable control technologies available for the user’s specific circumstances.
(5) A detailed facility layout and site diagram showing points of entry into the POTW.
(6) A description of the waste handling, treatment and discharge disposal facilities, including flow diagrams and process schematics.
(7) A description of operating and maintenance processes and procedures.
(8) Inventory of raw materials and a list of waste sources, including a list of all chemicals used or stored at the facility.
(9) A description of employee training programs, policies and procedures; continuing education programs; and participation.
(10) A description of documentation, including record keeping and forms.
(11) A description of monitoring activities.
(12) Information log of facility personnel, organization chart, emergency phone numbers, contact persons and maintenance or service representatives.
(13) Certification by a qualified professional that the plan is adequate to prevent spills, leaks, slug loads, or non-customary discharges of regulated substances, directly or indirectly, to the POTW.
(14) Such other information, documents or diagrams as required by the POTW Manager, including, but not limited to, any of the information required under Section 1044.041.
(c) The BMPs or BMPP required of a user or approved for a user shall be incorporated in a user permit issued to the user. If the user already has a user permit, the existing permit may be modified to incorporate the BMP requirements. If the user does not currently have a user permit, a permit shall be issued for that purpose.
(d) The POTW Manager may require revisions to a user’s BMPP if the Manager determines that the plan contains elements that are inadequate, or as otherwise determined necessary by the Manager to ensure compliance with applicable requirements of this chapter. Review of a BMPP by the Manager shall not relieve the user from the responsibility to modify its facility as necessary to comply with local, state and federal laws and regulations.
