§ 51.086  PRELIMINARY TREATMENT FACILITIES.
   (A)   When, after making such a review, the Superintendent concludes that, before the person discharges his wastes into the public sewers, he must modify or eliminate those constituents which would be harmful to the structures, processes, or operations of the sewage works or injurious to health, then the person shall either modify his wastes at the point of origin or shall provide and operate at his own expense such preliminary treatment or processing facilities as may be determined to be necessary to render his wastes acceptable for admission to the public sewers.  Appropriate pretreatment technology includes control equipment, such as equalization tanks or facilities, for protection against "slugs" that might interfere with or otherwise be incompatible with the sewage works.  Where there is reason to believe that the use of equalization tanks or other facilities which have potential for dilution is resulting in dilution, the Superintendent may impose mass limitations on the user employing the tanks or other facilities.
   (B)   Plans, specifications, and other pertinent information relating to proposed preliminary treatment and processing facilities shall be submitted to the Utility Service Board through the Superintendent's office for examination and approval and no construction of such facilities shall begin until the Board has given its written approval.  Approval shall not exempt the person from the obligation to make further reasonable adaptations of the facilities when such adaptations of the facilities prove necessary to secure the results desired.  Plans, specifications, and other pertinent information shall also be submitted to the Stream Pollution Control Board for approval in accordance with Stream Pollution Control Board Resolution 330 IAC 3-1 through 3-3 (formerly No. SPC 15).
   (C)   When such preliminary treatment facilities are provided, they shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory and effective operating condition by the person at his own expense and shall be subject to periodic inspection by the Superintendent.  The person shall maintain suitable operating records and shall submit to the Superintendent any monthly summary reports of the character of the influent and effluent as the latter may prescribe.  The user shall notify the Superintendent immediately of any slug loading as defined herein and in accordance with § § 51.074 and 51.075.
