(A) Any owner who discharges industrial waste into the city’s sewerage system either directly or indirectly shall forthwith fill out and file an industrial waste questionnaire, the form for which will be furnished by the city in which he or she shall set out the quantity and characteristics of the wastes discharged into the city’s sewerage system. Any owner desiring to establish a new connection to the public sewer or to establish a new account with utility for the purpose of discharging industrial or commercial waste shall first fill out and file such a questionnaire which shall set out the actual or predicted data relating to the quantity and characteristics of the wastes to be discharged.
(B) Any industry who changes or proposes to change manufacturing or pretreatment processes shall first notify the control authority, in writing, and submit a new or revised industrial waste questionnaire for review by the control authority.
(C) Any person who knowingly makes any false statement, representation or certification, in any application, report or other document, required by the municipal ordinance or other applicable regulations, shall, upon conviction, be punished by the imposition of a civil penalty as required by local and/or state statutes.
(D) When special circumstances render it an unreasonable burden to comply with the time schedule determined by the utility for the correction of any industrial waste discharge problem, an extension of time, not to exceed 90 days, may be granted by the control authority upon presentation in writing of an application for such relief.
