(a) Pretreatment Facilities. Industrial users shall provide wastewater treatment as necessary to comply with these rules and regulations and shall achieve compliance with all categorical Pretreatment Standards, Local Limits, and the prohibitions set out in Section 915.100 of these rules and regulations within the time limitations specified by EPA, the State, or the Director, whichever is more stringent. Any facilities necessary for compliance shall be provided, operated, and maintained at the industrial user's expense. Detailed plans describing such facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the Director for review, and shall be acceptable to the Director before such facilities are constructed. The review of such plans and operating procedures shall in no way relieve the User from the responsibility of modifying such facilities as necessary to produce a discharge acceptable to the City under the provisions of these rules and regulations.
(b) Accidental Discharge/Slug Discharge Control Plans. The Director shall evaluate whether each industrial user needs an accidental discharge/slug discharge control plan or other action to control Slug Discharges. The Director may require any user to develop, submit for approval, and implement such a plan or take such other action that may be necessary to control Slug Discharges. Alternatively, the Director may develop such a plan for any user. An accidental discharge/slug discharge control plan shall address, at a minimum, the following:
(1) Description of discharge practices, including nonroutine batch discharges;
(2) Description of stored chemicals;
(3) Procedures for immediately notifying the Director of any accidental or Slug Discharge, as required by Section 915.300 of these regulations; and
(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.
