(a) No discharger shall discharge wastewater containing concentrations or loadings of pollutants in excess of those specified in its wastewater discharge permit. Also, no discharger shall discharge other toxic pollutants listed in Appendix A, but not contained in the wastewater discharge permit, unless specifically authorized to do so in a revised permit. In any event, such discharges shall meet categorical pretreatment standards where applicable.
(b) All Industrial Users shall promptly notify the Plant Manager in advance of any substantial changes in the volume or character of pollutants in their discharge, including the listed or characteristic hazardous wastes for which the Industrial User has submitted initial notification under 40 CFR 403.12(p).
(c) Whenever deemed necessary, the Plant Manager may require Industrial 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 industrial wastestream, and such other conditions as may be necessary to protect the POTW and determine the Industrial User’s compliance with the requirements of this ordinance.
(d) The Plant Manager 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. An individual wastewater discharge permit may be issued solely for flow equalization.
(e) Industrial Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter.
