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.
(Ord. 9-2016, passed 6-7-2016)
(A) All SIUs must submit a permit application. Other users may be required to submit a permit application. The Board may require users to submit all or some of the following information as part of a permit application:
(1) Identifying information.
(a) The name and address of the facility, including the name of the operator and owner.
(b) Contact information, description of activities, facilities, and plant production processes on the premises;
(2) Environmental permits. A list of any environmental control permits held by or for the facility.
(3) Description of operations.
(a) A brief description of the nature, average rate of production (including each product produced by type, amount, processes, and rate of production), and standard industrial classifications of the operation(s) carried out by such user. This description should include a schematic process diagram, which indicates points of discharge to the POTW from the regulated processes;
(b) Types of wastes generated, and a list of all raw materials and chemicals used or stored at the facility which are, or could accidentally or intentionally be, discharged to the POTW;
(c) Number and type of employees, hours of operation, and proposed or actual hours of operation;
(d) Type and amount of raw materials processed (average and maximum per day);
(e) Site plans, floor plans, mechanical and plumbing plans, and details to show all sewers, floor drains, and appurtenances by size, location, and elevation, and all points of discharge;
(4) Time and duration of discharges;
(5) The location for monitoring all wastes covered by the permit;
(6) Flow measurement. Information showing the measured average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the POTW from regulated process streams and other streams, as necessary, to allow use of the combined wastestream formula set out in § 52.016(B) (40 CFR 403.6(e)).
(7) Measurement of pollutants.
(a) The categorical pretreatment standards applicable to each regulated process and any new categorically regulated processes for existing sources.
(b) The results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration, and/or mass, where required by the standard or by the Board, of regulated pollutants in the discharge from each regulated process.
(c) Instantaneous, daily maximum, and long-term average concentrations, or mass, where required, shall be reported.
(d) The sample shall be representative of daily operations and shall be analyzed in accordance with procedures set out in § 52.132. Where the standard requires compliance with a BMP or pollution prevention alternative, the user shall submit documentation as required by the Board or the applicable standards to determine compliance with the standard.
(e) Sampling must be performed in accordance with procedures set out in § 52.133.
(8) Any requests for a monitoring waiver (or a renewal of an approved monitoring waiver) for a pollutant neither present nor expected to be present in the discharge based on § 52.103(B) (40 CFR 403.12(e)(2)).
(9) Any other information as may be deemed necessary by the Board to evaluate the permit application.
(B) Incomplete or inaccurate applications will not be processed and will be returned to the user for revision.
(Ord. 9-2016, passed 6-7-2016)
(A) All wastewater discharge permit applications, user reports and certification statements must be signed by an authorized representative of the user and contain the certification statement in § 52.113(A).
(B) If the designation of an authorized representative is no longer accurate because a different individual or position has responsibility for the overall operation of the facility or overall responsibility for environmental matters for the company, a new written authorization satisfying the requirements of this section must be submitted to the Board prior to or together with any reports to be signed by an authorized representative.

WASTEWATER DISCHARGE PERMIT ISSUANCE
A wastewater discharge permit shall be issued for a specified time period, not to exceed five years from the effective date of the permit. A wastewater discharge permit may be issued for a period less than five years, at the discretion of the Board. Each wastewater discharge permit will indicate a specific date upon which it will expire.
(Ord. 9-2016, passed 6-7-2016)
A wastewater discharge permit shall include such conditions as are deemed reasonably necessary by the Board 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.
(A) SIU wastewater discharge permits must contain the following. Other wastewater discharge permits may contain the following:
(1) A statement that indicates the wastewater discharge permit issuance date, expiration date and effective date.
(2) A statement that the wastewater discharge permit is nontransferable without prior notification to the Board in accordance with § 52.084, and provisions for furnishing the new owner or operator with a copy of the existing wastewater discharge permit.
(3) Effluent limits, including best management practices, based on applicable pretreatment standards.
(4) Self-monitoring, sampling, reporting, notification, and record-keeping requirements. These requirements shall include an identification of pollutants (or best management practice) to be monitored, sampling location, sampling frequency, and sample type based on federal, state, and local law.
