(A) Whenever deemed necessary, the Board may require 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 wastestreams from other facility wastestreams, and such other conditions as maybe necessary to protect the POTW and determine the user's compliance with the requirements of this chapter.
(B) The Board 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.
(C) Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided for the proper handling of wastewater containing excessive amounts of grease and oil, or sand; unless a waiver is granted by the Board (normally not applicable to residential dwellings). All interception units shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Board and shall be so located to be easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Such interceptors shall be inspected, cleaned, and repaired by the user at their expense. Such interceptors shall be maintained such that the user does not violate the pretreatment standards in this chapter.
(D) (1) Waste from garbage grinders shall not be discharged into a sanitary sewer except:
(a) Wastes generated in preparation of food normally consumed on the premises; or
(b) Where the user has obtained authorization for that specific use from the Board, and agreed to undertake whatever self-monitoring is required to enable the Board to equitably determine the user charges based on the waste constituents and characteristics.
(2) These grinders shall shred the waste so that all particles shall be carried freely under normal flow conditions prevailing in the sanitary sewer. Garbage grinders shall not be used for grinding plastic, paper products, inert materials or garden refuse.
(E) Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter.

(B) The Board shall evaluate whether each SIU needs an accidental discharge/slug discharge control plan or other action to control slug discharges. The Board 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 Board 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 Board of any accidental or slug discharge, as required by § 52.105; 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.

(B) The Board may require wastewater haulers to obtain wastewater discharge permits. The Board may also require generators of hauled wastewater to obtain wastewater discharge permits. The Board also may limit the volume discharged or prohibit the disposal of hauled wastewater. The discharge of hauled wastewater is subject to all other requirements of this chapter.
(C) The Board may collect samples of each hauled load to ensure compliance with applicable standards. The Board may require the wastewater hauler to provide a waste analysis of any load prior to discharge. No load may be discharged without prior consent of the Board.
(D) Wastewater haulers must provide a waste-tracking form for every load. This form shall include, at a minimum, the name and address of the wastewater hauler, permit number, names and addresses of sources of wastewater, and volume and type of waste. Industrial waste haulers shall also identify the type of industry, known or suspected waste constituents, and whether any wastes are RCRA hazardous wastes.
(E) Wastewater haulers of sewage disposal system wastewater shall meet the requirements of 327 IAC 7, as amended, if more stringent than requirements of this chapter.

(A) If another municipality, or user located within another municipality, contributes wastewater to the POTW, the Board shall enter into an intermunicipal agreement with the contributing municipality.
(B) Prior to entering into an agreement required by division (A) above, the Board shall request the following information from the contributing municipality:
(1) A description of the quality and volume of wastewater discharged to the POTW by the contributing municipality;
(2) An inventory of all users located within the contributing municipality that are discharging to the POTW; and
(3) Such other information as the Board may deem necessary.
(C) An intermunicipal agreement, as required by division (A), above, shall contain the following conditions:
(1) A requirement for the contributing municipality to adopt a sewer use ordinance which is at least as stringent as this chapter and local limits. The requirement shall specify that such chapter and limits must be revised as necessary to reflect changes made to the Board's ordinance or local limits;
(2) A requirement for the contributing municipality to submit a revised user inventory on at least an annual basis;
(3) A provision specifying which pretreatment implementation activities, including wastewater discharge permit issuance, inspection and sampling, and enforcement, will be conducted by the contributing municipality; which of these activities will be conducted by the Board; and which of these activities will be conducted jointly by the contributing municipality and the Board;
(4) A requirement for the contributing municipality to provide the Board with access to all information that the contributing municipality obtains as part of its pretreatment activities;
(5) Limits on the nature, quality, and volume of the contributing municipality's wastewater at the point where it discharges to the POTW;
(6) Requirements for monitoring the contributing municipality's discharge;
(7) A provision ensuring the Board access to the facilities of users located within the contributing municipality's jurisdictional boundaries for the purpose of inspection, sampling, and any other duties deemed necessary by the Board; and

When requested by the Board, a user must submit information on the nature and characteristics of its wastewater within 30 days of the request. The Board is authorized to prepare a form for this purpose and may periodically require users to update this information.
(Ord. 9-2016, passed 6-7-2016)
Based upon a review of the information provided in § 52.060, the Board shall determine whether or not a wastewater discharge permit must be issued or revised and what type of wastewater discharge permit or control document is appropriate for the user.
(A) No SIU shall discharge wastewater into the POTW without first obtaining a SIU wastewater discharge permit from the Board.
(B) The Board may require other users to obtain non-SIU or other wastewater discharge permits as necessary or issue other control documents to carry out the purposes of this chapter.
(C) Any violation of the terms and conditions of a wastewater discharge permit or other control document shall be deemed a violation of this chapter and subjects the wastewater discharge permittee to the sanctions set out in §§ 52.170 through 178 and §§ 52.210 through 52.214. Obtaining a wastewater discharge permit does not relieve a permittee of its obligation to comply with all federal and state pretreatment standards or requirements or with any other requirements of federal, state, and local law.
(D) Any user required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit or other control document who proposes to begin or recommence discharging into the POTW must obtain such permit or control document prior to the beginning or recommencing of such discharge. An application for this wastewater discharge permit, in accordance with § 52.062, must be filed at least 90 days prior to the date upon which any discharge will begin or recommence.
(E) Any user required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit or other control document who was discharging wastewater into the POTW prior to the effective date of this chapter and who wishes to continue such discharges in the future, shall, within 30 days after said date, apply to the Board for a wastewater discharge permit in accordance with § 52.062, and shall not cause or allow discharges to the POTW to continue after 180 days of the effective date of this chapter except in accordance with a wastewater discharge permit or other control document issued by the Board.
