Users shall provide wastewater pretreatment as necessary to comply with this article and shall achieve compliance with all categorical pretreatment standards, local limits and the prohibitions set out in section 19-25 of this article within the time limitations specified by EPA, the State, or the city manager, whichever is more stringent. Any facilities necessary for compliance shall be provided, operated, and maintained at user's expense. Detailed plans describing such facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the city manager for review, and shall be acceptable to the city manager before such facilities are constructed. The review of such plans and operating procedures will in no way relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying the facility as necessary to produce a discharge acceptable to the city manager under the provisions of this article.
(`64 Code, Sec. 25-21) (Ord. No. 2494)
(A) Whenever deemed necessary, the city manager may require 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 domestic waste streams from industrial waste streams, and such other conditions as may be necessary to protect the system and determine the user's compliance with the requirements of this article.
(B) The city manager may require any person discharging into the system to install and maintain, on their property and at their expense, a suitable storage and flow-control facility to ensure active management of flow. An IWD permit may be issued solely for flow regulation.
(C) Users shall provide gravity separation devices when, in the opinion of the city manager, they are necessary for the proper handling of wastewater containing excessive amounts of oil and grease or sand. All gravity separation devices shall be of a type and capacity approved by the city manager and shall be so located to be easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Such devices shall be inspected, cleaned, and repaired regularly, as needed, by the user at user's expense.
(D) The city manager may require users with the potential to discharge flammable substances to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter.
(E) All dental dischargers are required to maintain a current industrial wastewater discharge permit.
(`64 Code, Sec. 25-22) (Ord. No. 2494, 2997)
All domestic wastewater including, but not limited to, those from restrooms, showers and drinking fountains shall be kept separate from all industrial wastewater until the industrial wastewater has passed through any required pretreatment system and/or monitoring facility.
(`64 Code, Sec. 25-23) (Ord. No. 2494)
(A) Each user shall provide protection from accidental discharge of prohibited materials, other regulated pollutants or wastewater called out in this article or any other materials in concentration or quantities of which could be detrimental to the system, its operation or personnel. Each floor drain or floor sink located in an area where regulated chemicals are stored or used shall be protected in a manner approved by the city manager to prevent uncontrolled or accidental discharges of these regulated constituents from directly entering the system. Facilities to prevent accidental discharge shall be provided and maintained at the owner's and/or operator's expense. Detailed plans in the form of a spill prevention, control, and countermeasures plan (showing facilities and operating procedures to provide this protection) shall be submitted to the city manager for review and approval prior to construction of said facilities. Such review and approval of plans and operating procedures shall not relieve the user from the responsibility of said facilities as necessary to meet the other requirements of this article.
(B) A notice shall be permanently posted on the user's bulletin board or other prominent place advising employees whom to call in the event of a dangerous discharge. Employers shall ensure that all employees who may cause or suffer such a dangerous discharge to occur are advised of the emergency notification procedure.
(C) Any user who causes or discovers a slug discharge of regulated pollutants or wastewater into the system shall immediately telephone the city manager in order that corrective action may be taken to protect the system, its operation and personnel. In addition, the person responsible for the discharge of the wastes or wastewater shall file a written report to the city manager, detailing the date, time and cause of the accidental discharge, the quantity and characteristics of the discharge and corrective action taken to prevent future discharges. The report shall be filed within five days of the occurrence of the discharge.
(`64 Code, Sec. 25-24) (Ord. No. 2494)
(A) The city manager shall evaluate whether each significant industrial user needs an accidental discharge/slug control plan. The city manager may require any user to develop, submit for approval, and implement such a plan. Alternatively, the city manager may develop such a plan for any user.
(B) An accidental discharge/control slug plan shall address, at a minimum, the following:
(1) Description of discharge practices, including non-routine batch discharges;
(2) Description of stored chemicals;
(3) Procedures for immediately notifying the city manager of any accidental or slug discharge; and
(4) Procedures to prevent adverse impact from any accidental or slug discharge. Such procedures include, but are not limited to, inspection and maintenance of storage areas, handling and transfer of materials, loading and unloading operations, control of plant site runoff, worker training, building of containment structures or equipment, measures for containing toxic organic pollutants, including solvents, and/or measures and equipment for emergency response.
(`64 Code, Sec. 25-25) (Ord. No. 2494, 2761)
Any tenant under any rental, lease, or other agreement shall be jointly and severally responsible for compliance with the provisions of this article in the same manner as the owner, and both owner and tenant shall be jointly and severally liable to the city for any costs, damages, fines or penalties incurred and/or imposed by the city due to noncompliance by the tenant or owner with provisions of this article.
(`64 Code, Sec. 25-26) (Ord. No. 2494)
(A) Septage may be introduced into the system only at locations designated by the city manager, and at such times as are established by the city manager. Such wastes shall not violate the provisions of division 3 of this article or any other federal, State or local regulation. The city manager may require septic tank waste haulers to obtain IWD permits.
(B) Industrial waste or wastewater haulers shall obtain IWD permits from the city manager. The city manager may require generators of hauled industrial waste or wastewater to obtain IWD permits. The city manager also may prohibit the disposal of hauled industrial waste or wastewater. The discharge of hauled industrial waste or wastewater is subject to all other requirements of this article.
(C) Industrial waste or wastewater haulers may only discharge loads at locations designated by the city manager. No load may be discharged without prior consent of the city manager. The city manager may collect samples of each hauled load to ensure compliance with applicable standards. The city manager may require the hauler to provide a waste analysis of any load prior to discharge.
(D) Industrial waste or wastewater haulers must provide a waste-tracking form for every load. This form shall include, at a minimum, the name and address of the industrial waste or wastewater hauler, permit number, truck identification, source of waste or wastewater, and volume and characteristics of waste or wastewater. The form shall identify the type of industry, known or suspected waste constituents, and whether any wastes are hazardous wastes designated in RCRA.
