(a) Nondomestic users shall provide necessary wastewater treatment as required to comply with this chapter and shall achieve compliance with all national categorical pretreatment standards within the time limitations specified by Federal pretreatment regulations and as required by the City. Any facilities required to pretreat wastewater to a level acceptable to the City shall be provided, operated and maintained at the user's expense. Detailed plans showing the pretreatment facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the City for review and shall be approved by the City before construction of the facility. The review of such plans and operating procedures will in no way relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying the facility as necessary to produce an effluent acceptable to the City under this chapter. Any subsequent change in the pretreatment facility or method of operation shall be reported to and be acceptable to the City prior to the user's initiation of the change.
The City shall annually publish, in a major local newspaper, a list of the users which were in significant noncompliance with any pretreatment requirements or standards at least once during the twelve previous months. The notification shall also summarize any enforcement actions taken against such users during the same twelve months.
All records relating to compliance with pretreatment standards shall be made available to officials of the EPA or the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, upon request.
(b) Where preliminary treatment facilities are provided for any water or waste, they shall be maintained in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner at his or her expense.
