(A) Pursuant to the requirements imposed on publicly-owned wastewater treatment works by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972, being 33 U.S.C. §§ 1251 et seq., and later amendments, all pretreatment standards promulgated by the U.S. EPA under 40 C.F.R. subpart N and 40 C.F.R. part 403 for new and existing industrial discharges to public sewer systems are hereby made a part of this chapter. Any industrial waste discharge which violates these EPA pretreatment standards shall be in violation of this chapter.
(B) Where pretreatment or flow equalizing facilities are provided or required for any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner(s) at his or her expense.
(C) Any person who transports septic tank contents, seepage pit or cesspool contents, liquid industrial waste or other batch liquid waste and wishes to discharge such waste to the public sewer system shall first obtain permission for such discharge from the Superintendent. All persons receiving such permission shall abide by all applicable provisions of this chapter and any other special provisions that may be established by the Superintendent as necessary for the proper operation and maintenance of the sewerage system. Waste haulers who have been granted permission to discharge to the public sewer system shall pay fees for such discharge in accordance with a fee schedule established by the Superintendent and approved by the city. It shall be illegal to discharge any batch liquid waste into any manhole or other part of the public sewer system, or any building sewer or other facility that discharges to the public sewer system, except at points of discharge designated by the Superintendent for such purposes. Any liquid waste hauler illegally discharging to the public sewer system shall be subject to immediate revocation of discharge privileges (if granted) and further subject to the penalties and enforcement actions prescribed in § 52.999 of this code. Nothing in this chapter shall relieve waste haulers of the responsibility for compliance with the county’s Health Department, state or federal regulations.
