Industrial user permits shall be expressly subject to all provisions of this chapter and all other applicable regulations, user charges and fees established by the MUPB. The General Manager may authorize an industrial user subject to a Categorical Pretreatment Standard to forego sampling of a pollutant regulated by a Categorical Pretreatment Standard if the industrial user has demonstrated through sampling and other technical factors that the pollutant is neither present nor expected to be present in the discharge or is present only at background levels from intake water and without any increase in the pollutant due to activities of the industrial user. This authorization is subject to the conditions established in 40 CFR 403.12(e)(2). Permits may contain the following:
(A) The unit surcharges or schedule of other charges and fees for the wastewater to be discharged to a sanitary sewer;
(B) Effluent limits, including Best Management Practices, on the average and/or maximum wastewater constituents and characteristics;

(I) Requirements for notification of the MUPB of any new introduction of wastewater constituents or any substantial change in the volume or character of the wastewater constituents being introduced into the wastewater treatment system;
(J) Requirements for notification of slug discharges;
(K) The permit may require the user to reimburse the MUPB for all expenses related to monitoring, sampling and testing performed at the direction of the General Manager and deemed necessary by the MUPB to verify that the user is in compliance with the permit;
(L) Other conditions as deemed appropriate by the MUPB to ensure compliance with this chapter;
(M) A statement that indicates the industrial user permit issuance date, expiration date and effective date;
(N) A statement that the industrial user permit is nontransferable;
(O) Requirements to control slug discharge, if determined by the General Manager to be necessary;
(P) The process for seeking a waiver from monitoring for a pollutant neither present nor expected to be present in the discharge in accordance with this chapter. Any grant of a waiver by the General Manager must be included as a condition in the user's permit; and
(Q) A statement of applicable civil and criminal penalties for violation of pretreatment standards and requirements, and any applicable compliance schedule. Such schedule may not extend the time for compliance beyond that required by applicable federal, state or local law.
