The Superintendent shall issue, at any time deemed necessary, an administrative order to any user to control the user's discharge to the sewerage system and ensure compliance with any regulation established by this chapter including, but not limited to, the following:
(a) The general and specific discharge prohibition;
(b) Compliance with specific local discharge limits;
(c) The applicable federal categorical pretreatment standards;
(d) Compliance with applicable reporting requirements.
(e) Effluent limits, including Best Management Practices, based on applicable Pretreatment Standards.
An administrative order shall be in the form of a written notice from the Superintendent and may be served upon any user by a duly authorized representative of the Superintendent by certified mail with return receipt requested.
An administrative order shall be issued for a specified time period, not to exceed five (5) years from the effective date of the order. Each administrative order will indicate a specified date upon which it will expire.
An administrative order shall include such conditions as are deemed reasonably necessary by the Superintendent to prevent pass through or interference, protect the quality of the water body receiving the treatment plant's effluent, protect worker health and safety, facilitate sludge management and disposal, and protect against damage to the POTW.
Any person, including the user, may petition the Superintendent to reconsider the terms of an administrative order within thirty (30) days of notice of its issuance.
The Superintendent may modify an administrative order for good cause.
The Superintendent may revoke an administrative order for good cause, including, but not limited to, the following reasons:
(1) Failure to notify the Superintendent of significant changes to the wastewater prior to the changed discharge;
(2) Failure to provide prior notification to the Superintendent of changed conditions pursuant to Section 926.16 of this chapter;
(3) Misrepresentation or failure to fully disclose all relevant facts in the wastewater discharge disclosure form;
(4) Falsifying self-monitoring reports;
(5) Tampering with monitoring equipment;
(6) Refusing to allow the Superintendent timely access to the facility premises and records;
(7) Failure to meet effluent limitations;
(8) Failure to pay fines;
(9) Failure to pay sewer charges;
(10) Failure to meet compliance schedules;
(11) Failure to complete a wastewater survey or wastewater discharge disclosure form;
(12) Failure to provide advance notice of the transfer of business ownership of a permitted facility;
(13) Violation of any pretreatment standard or requirement, or any terms of the administrative order or this chapter.
Wastewater administrative orders shall be voidable upon cessation of operations or transfer of business ownership. All wastewater administrative orders issued to a particular user are void upon the issuance of a new administrative order to that user.
A user with an expiring wastewater administrative order shall submit an updated Wastewater Discharger Disclosure Form, in accordance with Section 926.14 of this chapter, a minimum of ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the user's existing wastewater administrative orders.
