(a) Industrial users shall provide necessary wastewater treatment as required to comply with this chapter and shall achieve compliance with all federal categorical pretreatment standards within the time limitations as specified by the Federal pretreatment regulations. Any facilities required to pretreat wastewater to a level acceptable to the City Engineer 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 Engineer for review, and shall be acceptable to the City Engineer before construction of the facility. The review of such plans and operating procedures shall in no way relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying the facility as necessary to produce an effluent acceptable to the City Engineer under the provisions of this chapter. Any subsequent changes in the pretreatment facilities or method of operation shall be reported to and be acceptable to the City Engineer prior to the user's initiation of the changes. All records relating to compliance with pretreatment standards shall be made available by the City Engineer to officials of the EPA or OEPA upon request.

(b) When, in the opinion of the Director of Public Works, it becomes necessary for industrial users to install technology or provide additional operation and maintenance (O & M) to meet any condition of this chapter or an applicable administrative order, the Director shall require the development of the shortest schedule by which the industrial user will provide this additional technology or O & M. The schedule shall contain increments of progress in the form of dates for the commencement and completion of major events. Under no circumstances shall any increment exceed nine months. Not later than fourteen days following each date in the schedule and the final date for compliance, the industrial user shall submit a progress report to the Director, which shall include, at a minimum, whether or not such user complied with the increment of progress to be met on such date and, if not, the date on which it expects to comply with this increment of progress, the reason for delay and the steps being taken to return the schedule established.
