(A) All non-domestic users shall notify the environmental officer of the nature and characteristics of their wastewater prior to commencing their discharge. The environmental officer is authorized to prepare a form for this purpose. All non-domestic users must complete the industrial user wastewater discharge permit application, the industrial waste survey, and/or other forms as identified by the environmental officer. If a non-domestic user fails to complete any form identified as required by the environmental officer, the non-domestic user will be in violation of this chapter. The environmental officer may periodically require industrial users to update this information.
(B) It shall be unlawful for significant industrial users to discharge wastewater, whether directly or indirectly, into the POTW without first obtaining an industrial user wastewater discharge permit from the city. Any violation of the terms and conditions of an industrial user wastewater discharge permit shall be deemed a violation of this chapter and subjects the wastewater discharge permittee to the sanctions set out in §§ 56.21, 56.37, and 56.38 of this chapter. Obtaining an industrial user wastewater discharge permit does not relieve a permittee of its obligation to obtain any other permits required by Federal, state, or local law.
(C) The environmental officer may require that other industrial users, including liquid waste haulers, obtain industrial user wastewater discharge permits as necessary to carry out the purposes of this section. The environmental officer also may prohibit the disposal of hauled pollutants, including hauled wastewater. The discharge of hauled pollutants, including hauled wastewater, is subject to all other requirements of this chapter.
(1) Industrial waste haulers, including haulers of wastewater, may discharge loads only at locations designed by the environmental officer.
(2) No load may be discharged without prior consent of the environmental officer.
(3) The environmental officer may collect samples of each hauled load to ensure compliance with applicable standards.
(4) The environmental officer may require the industrial waste hauler to provide a waste analysis of any load prior to discharge.
(5) Industrial waste haulers, including haulers of wastewater, must provide a waste-tracking form for every load. This form shall include, at a minimum, the name and address of the industrial waste hauler, permit number, truck identification, names and addresses of sources of waste, and volume and characteristics of waste. The form shall identify the type of industry, known or suspected waste constituents, and whether any wastes are RCRA hazardous wastes.
(C) All existing significant industrial users connected to or contributing to the POTW shall obtain an industrial user wastewater discharge permit within 180 days after the effective date of this chapter. The application must be submitted to the environmental officer within 90 days after the effective date of this chapter.
(D) New connections. Any significant industrial user proposing to begin or recommence discharging nondomestic wastes into the POTW must obtain an industrial user wastewater discharge permit prior to beginning or recommencing such discharge. An application form must be filed by the SIU at least 90 days prior to commencement of discharge. Categorical SIUs must provide an application form and a supplemental baseline monitoring report, the two of which are to contain the information required by 40 C.F.R. § 403.12, as set out in § 56.12.
(E) The environmental officer may deny or condition new or increased contributions of pollutants, or changes in the nature of pollutants, to the POTW by industrial users where such contributions do not meet applicable pretreatment standards and requirements or where such contributions would cause the POTW to violate its TPDES permit.
(F) Reapplication. Once permitted, the industrial user has the duty to reapply if the permittee wishes to continue an activity regulated by the permit after the expiration date of the industrial user wastewater discharge permit. The industrial user must submit an application for a new permit at least 90 days before the expiration of the permit. The application form may be obtained from the environmental officer.
