(A) The Superintendent may deny or condition new or increased industrial contributions, based on information or lack thereof in a permit application.
(B) The Superintendent may modify an individual wastewater discharge permit for good cause, including but not limited to the following reasons:
(1) To incorporate any new or revised federal, state, or local pretreatment standards or requirements;
(2) To address significant alterations or additions to the user's operation, processes, or wastewater volume or character since the time of the individual wastewater discharge permit issuance;
(3) A change in the POTW that requires either a temporary or permanent reduction or elimination of the authorized discharge;
(4) Information indicating that the permitted discharge poses a threat to the city's POTW, city personnel, or the receiving waters;
(5) Violation of any terms or conditions of the individual wastewater discharge permit;
(6) Misrepresentations or failure to fully disclose all relevant facts in the wastewater discharge permit application or in any required reporting;
(7) Revision of or a grant of variance from categorical pretreatment standards pursuant to 40 C.F.R. 403.13;
(8) To correct typographical or other errors in the individual wastewater discharge permit.
(C) Within 270 days of promulgation of a national categorical pretreatment standard, the wastewater discharge permit of each discharger subject to these standards, if such standards are more stringent than those in the existing permit, shall be amended to assure compliance with the new standards, within the time frame prescribed by the standards. All national categorical pretreatment standards promulgated after the adoption of this chapter shall be adopted by the authority as part of this chapter. Where a discharger, subject to a categorical pretreatment standard, has not previously submitted an application for a wastewater discharge permit as required by this Chapter, the discharger shall apply for a wastewater discharge permit from the authority within 180 days after the promulgation of the applicable national categorical pretreatment standard.
(D) A discharger shall be notified of any proposed changes to his or her permit at least 30 days prior to the effective date of the change. Any changes or new conditions in the permit shall include a reasonable time for compliance.
(E) All industrial users shall notify the Superintendent promptly in advance of substantial changes in volume or character of industrial discharges. The authority reserves the right to amend the discharge permit in light of any change in volume or character of discharge or if additional information is obtained which indicates a modification is necessary to protect public health or the POTW.
