(a) Pretreatment Facilities. Users shall provide wastewater treatment as necessary to comply with this Chapter and shall achieve compliance with all categorical Pretreatment Standards, Local Limits, and the prohibitions set out in Section 1068.02(b) of this Chapter within the time limitations specified by EPA, the State, or the Superintendent, whichever is more stringent. Any facilities necessary for compliance shall be provided, operated, and maintained at the User's expense. Detailed plans describing such facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the Superintendent for review, and shall be acceptable to the Superintendent 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 County or Sanitation Authority under the provisions of this Chapter.
(b) Additional Pretreatment Measures. The Superintendent is hereby authorized to establish a written Fats, Oil and Grease (FOG) procedure manual as he or she may deem necessary to prevent interference within the POTW. The requirements and provisions of the grease trap program shall be subject to the enforcement provisions of this Chapter. Should any section or any provision of the procedures be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the procedures as a whole, or any part thereof other than the part so held to be unconstitutional or invalid.
(c) Accidental Discharge/Slug Discharge Facility Prevention Measures and Control Plans. Each industrial User shall provide facility design and chemical storage prevention measures against accidental discharge of prohibited materials or other substances regulated by this Chapter. Facilities to prevent an accidental discharge of prohibited materials shall be provided and maintained at the industrial User's own cost and expense. The Sanitation Authority, acting through the Superintendent, shall have the authority and responsibility to enter upon the property of any such User at any reasonable time for the purpose of inspecting such facilities. Detailed plans showing facilities and operating procedures to provide this protection shall be submitted to the Sanitation Authority for review and shall be approved by the Sanitation Authority before construction of the facility. No industrial User shall be permitted to introduce pollutants into the system until accidental discharge facility prevention measures have been approved by the Sanitation Authority. Review and approval of such plans and operating procedures shall not relieve the industrial User from the responsibility to modify the industrial User's facility as necessary to meet the requirements of this Chapter.
The Superintendent shall evaluate whether each SIU additionally needs an Accidental Discharge/Slug Discharge Control Plan or other action to control Slug Discharges. The Superintendent 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 Superintendent 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 non-routine batch discharges;
(2) Description of stored chemicals;
(3) Procedures for immediately notifying the Superintendent of any accidental or slug discharge, as required by Section 1068.06
(f) of this Chapter; 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 industrial 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.
(d) Hauled Wastewater. The Superintendent is hereby authorized to establish a written hauled waste acceptance and implementation procedures manual as he or she may deem necessary to implement, administer and enforce the rules and requirements under which hauled waste will be accepted. The requirements and provision of these procedures shall be subject to the enforcement provisions of this Chapter. Should any section or any provision of the procedures be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the procedures as a whole, or any part thereof other than the part so held to be unconstitutional or invalid.
