(A) Industrial users shall provide necessary wastewater treatment as required to comply with all pretreatment standards and requirements, including categorical pretreatment standards, local limits, and the prohibitions set out in §§ 56.05 and 56.06 of this chapter, with the time limitations specified by EPA, TCEQ, or the environmental officer, whichever is more stringent. Any facilities required to pretreat wastewater to a level acceptable to the city shall be provided, operated, and maintained at the user's expense. The environmental officer may require the development of a compliance schedule by each industrial user for the installation of technology required to meet applicable pretreatment standards and requirements.
(B) Before beginning construction of pretreatment facilities, the user shall submit detailed plans and operating procedures for the facility to the environmental officer for review and approval. The review and approval of such plans and procedures will in no way relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying the facility as necessary to produce an effluent acceptable to the environmental officer and city under the provisions of this chapter.
(C) All industrial users shall promptly notify the environmental officer in advance of any change in the volume or character of pollutants in their discharge, including the listed or characteristic hazardous wastes for which the industrial user has submitted initial notification under 40 C.F.R. § 403.12(p). The environmental officer may require the industrial user to submit such information as may be deemed necessary to evaluate the changed condition, including the submission of an industrial user wastewater discharge permit application form.
(D) All records relating to compliance with pretreatment standards and requirements shall be made available to the environmental officer and to other authorized officials of the city, TCEQ, or EPA upon request.
(E) The determination of the character and concentration of industrial wastewater shall be made by the environmental officer at such times and on such schedules as he/she may establish.
