§ 54.040 MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR PERMITS.

   (A)   Generally.

      (1)   Any industrial user or any other user shall provide the city with sufficient information to determine if he or she is a major contributor. Any user determined to be a major contributor shall be required to obtain a permit stating the wastewater constituents and characteristics allowed and which sets for the applicable surveillance schedule and the monitoring requirements the user shall be subject to in order to discharge into the sewage system. A major contributor permit shall be valid for four years unless processing changes are made that, in the opinion of the Superintendent or Council, alter the wastewater constituents and characteristics significantly. If such a change occurs, the user shall file a new application. A permit may be renewed without reapplication at the end of four years at the discretion of the city.

      (2)   A major contributor permit shall not constitute an exception to the prohibitions and limitations on wastewater admissibility as set forth herein. Major contributors shall be subject to all applicable fees, rates, and charges set forth in §§ 54.060 through 54.071.

      (3)   A user holding an NPDES permit from the state is automatically entitled to a major contributor permit from the city. The holder of any NPDES permit from the state shall file a copy of each report or application he or she files with the state with the Superintendent. All copies shall be filed with the Superintendent no later than three days, excluding weekends and city recognized holidays, after filing with the appropriate state authority. Any user who applies to the state for an NPDES permit shall also file a copy of the application and all supporting documents with the city within a three-day period, excluding weekends and city recognized holidays.
