(a) A user with an expiring wastewater discharge permit shall apply for wastewater discharge permit reissuance by submitting a complete permit application, in accordance with § 12.5-632 of this article, a minimum of 90 days prior to the expiration of the user’s existing permit.
(b) If the user submits an application in compliance with subsection (a) above, and the failure of the director to reissue a permit prior to the expiration of the previous permit is not due to any act or omission of the user, the expired permit shall continue to be effective and enforceable until reissued.

(a) A municipality which contributes wastewater to the POTW, shall enter into an interlocal agreement with the city prior to contributing such wastewater.
(b) Prior to the city entering into an interlocal agreement as provided in subsection (a) above, the director may request the following information from the contributing municipality:
(1) A description of the quality and volume of wastewater discharged to the POTW by the contributing municipality;
(2) An inventory of all users located within the contributing municipality that are discharging to the POTW; and
(3) Such other information as the director may deem necessary.
(Ord. 12274, § 1, passed 11-28-1995)
(a) An extrajurisdictional user shall apply for a permit in accordance with this article at least 90 days prior to discharging to the POTW.
(b) This section does not apply to extrajurisdictional users in jurisdictions which have an agreement with the city pursuant to § 12.5-647.
(c) A wastewater discharge permit issued to an extrajurisdictional user shall be in the form of a contract, and must include, at a minimum, the components found in 40 C.F.R. § 403.8(f)(1)(iii) and shall require the approval of the city council. An extrajurisdictional user shall agree to all the terms of this article, the terms of Article I, Division 3 of this chapter, and the terms of its wastewater discharge contract in accordance with the procedures set forth in § 12.5-641 of this chapter prior to discharging into the POTW.
(Ord. 12274, § 1, passed 11-28-1995; Ord. 17074, § 9, passed 7-25-2006)
(a) Deadlines for submission or reports.
(1) Existing categorical users. Within either 180 days after the effective date of a categorical pretreatment standard, or the final administrative decision on a category determination under 40 C.F.R. § 403.6(a)(4), whichever is later, existing categorical users currently discharging to or scheduled to discharge to the POTW shall submit to the director a report which contains the information listed in subsection (b) below.
(2) New sources and new categorical users. At least 90 days prior to commencement of their discharge, new sources and sources that become categorical users subsequent to the promulgation of an applicable categorical standard, shall submit to the director a report which contains the information listed in subsection (b) below. A new source shall report the method of pretreatment it intends to use to meet applicable categorical standards. A new source also shall give estimates of its anticipated flow and quantity of pollutants to be discharged.
(b) Information submittal. Users described above shall submit the information set forth below:
(1) Identifying information. The name and address of the facility, including the name of the operator and owner;
(2) Environmental permits. A list of any environmental control permits held by or for the facility;
(3) Description of operations. A brief description of the nature, average rate of production and standard industrial classifications of the operation(s) carried out by such user. This description should include a schematic process diagram which indicates points of discharge to the POTW from the regulated processes;
(4) Flow measurement. Information showing the measured average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the POTW from regulated process streams and other streams, as necessary, to allow use of the combined wastestream formula set out in 40 C.F.R. § 403.6(e);
(5) Measurement of pollutants.
a. The categorical pretreatment standards applicable to each regulated process;
b. The results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration, and/or mass, where required by the standard or by the director, of regulated pollutants in the discharge from each regulated process. Instantaneous, daily maximum and long-term average concentrations, or mass, where required, shall be reported. The sample shall be representative of daily operations and shall be analyzed in accordance with procedures set out in § 12.5-660 of this article. In cases where the standard requires compliance with a best management practice or pollution prevention alternative, the user shall submit documentation as required by the city or the applicable standards to determine compliance with the standard;
c. Sampling shall be performed in accordance with procedures set out in § 12.5-661 of this article;
d. The user shall take a minimum of one representative sample to compile the data necessary to comply with the requirements of this subsection (b)(5). However, the city may allow the submission of a baseline report which utilizes only historical data so long as the data provides information sufficient to determine the need for industrial pretreatment measures. Historical data that can represent the current discharge only can be accepted as a baseline report; and
e. The baseline report shall indicate the time, date and place of sampling and methods of analysis, and shall certify that such sampling and analysis is representative of normal work cycles and expected pollutant discharges to the POTW.
(6) Certification. A statement, reviewed by the user’s authorized representative and certified by a qualified professional, indicating whether pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent basis, and, if not, whether additional operation and maintenance (O&M) and/or additional pretreatment is required to meet the pretreatment standards and requirements;
(7) Compliance schedule. If additional pretreatment, best management practices and/or O&M will be required to meet the pretreatment standards, the shortest schedule by which the user will provide such additional pretreatment and/or O&M must be provided. The completion date in this schedule shall not be later than the compliance date established for the applicable pretreatment standard. A compliance schedule pursuant to this section shall meet the requirements set out in § 12.5-652 of this article; and
(8) Signature and certification. All baseline monitoring reports shall be signed and certified in accordance with § 12.5-633 of this article.
