(A) Whenever deemed necessary, the Wastewater Superintendent may require industrial users to restrict their discharge during peak flow periods, designate that certain wastewater be discharged only into specific sewers, relocate and/or consolidate points of discharge, separate sewage waste streams from industrial waste streams, and such other conditions as may be necessary to protect the POTW and determine the industrial user’s compliance with the requirements of this chapter.
(B) The Wastewater Superintendent may require any person discharging into the POTW to install and maintain, on their property and at their expense, a suitable storage and flow-control facility to ensure equalization of flow. A wastewater discharge permit may be issued solely for flow equalization.

(2) Description of stored chemicals;
(4) Procedures to prevent adverse impact from any accidental or slug discharge. Such procedures include, but are not limited to, inspection and maintenance of storage areas, handling and transfer of materials, loading and unloading operations, control of plant site runoff, worker training, building of containment structures or equipment, measures for containing toxic organic pollutants, including solvents, and/or measures and equipment for emergency response.

The Wastewater Superintendent may require septic tank waste haulers to obtain wastewater discharge permits.
(B) The Wastewater Superintendent may require haulers of industrial waste to obtain wastewater discharge permits. The Wastewater Superintendent may require generators of hauled industrial waste to obtain wastewater discharge permits. The Wastewater Superintendent also may prohibit the disposal of hauled industrial waste. The discharge of hauled industrial waste is subject to all other requirements of this chapter.
(C) Industrial waste haulers shall discharge loads only at locations designated by the Wastewater Superintendent. No load may be discharged without prior consent of the Wastewater Superintendent. The Wastewater Superintendent may collect samples of each hauled load to ensure compliance with applicable standards. The Wastewater Superintendent may require the industrial waste hauler to provide a waste analysis of any load prior to discharge.
(D) Industrial waste haulers shall 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.
