DIVISION 5. INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER DISCHARGE PERMIT SYSTEM
When requested by the city manager, an industrial user shall submit information on the nature and characteristics of its wastewater within 30 days of the request. The city manager is authorized to prepare a form for this purpose and may periodically require industrial users to update this information.
(`64 Code, Sec. 25-32) (Ord. No. 2494)
(A) No non-domestic user shall discharge or cause to be discharged wastewater, either directly or indirectly, into the system without first obtaining an IWD permit from the city manager. All non-domestic users, including, but not limited to, SIUs, CIUs, commercial and industrial laundromats, food service establishments, automotive-related businesses, and dental dischargers, are required to maintain a current industrial wastewater discharge permit.
(B) The city manager may require other users to obtain an IWD permit as necessary to carry out the purposes of this article.
(C) Any violation of the terms and conditions of an IWD permit shall be deemed a violation of this article and subjects the user to the sanctions set out in divisions 8 through 10 of this article. Obtaining an IWD permit does not relieve an industrial user of its obligation to comply with all federal and State pretreatment standards or requirements or with any other requirements of federal, State and local law.
(`64 Code, Sec. 25-33) (Ord. No. 2494, 2997)
Any user required to obtain an IWD permit that proposes to begin or recommence discharging into the system shall obtain such permit prior to beginning or recommencing such discharge. An application for an IWD permit, in accordance with sections 19-53 and 19-55 of this article, shall be filed at least 90 days prior to the date upon which any discharge will begin or recommence.
(`64 Code, Sec. 25-34) (Ord. No. 2494)
New users located beyond the city limits that are required to obtain an IWD permit shall submit a permit application to the city manager 90 days prior to any proposed discharge into the system. Upon review of such application, the city manager may enter into an agreement with the user that requires the user to subject itself to and abide by this article, including all permitting, compliance monitoring, reporting, and enforcement provisions herein. Alternately, the city manager may enter into an agreement with the neighboring jurisdiction in which the user is located to provide for the implementation and enforcement of pretreatment program requirements against the user.
(`64 Code, Sec. 25-35) (Ord. No. 2494)
(A) All users required to obtain an IWD permit shall submit a permit application to the city manager at least 90 days before any proposed discharge. The city manager may require any user to submit as part of an application the following information:
(1) All information required by section 19-71(C) of this article;
(2) Description of activities, facilities, and plant processes on the premises, including a list of all raw materials and chemicals used or stored at the facility that are, or could accidentally or intentionally be, discharged to the system;
(3) Number and type of employees, hours of operation, and proposed or actual hours of operation;
(4) Each product produced by type, amount, process or processes and rate of production;
(5) Type and amount of raw materials processed (average and maximum per day);
(6) Site plans, floor plans, mechanical and plumbing plans, and details to show all sewers, floor drains, and appurtenances by size, location, and elevation, and all points of discharge;
(7) Time and duration of the discharge; and
(8) Any other relevant information deemed necessary by the city manager to evaluate the application.
(B) Incomplete or inaccurate applications will not be processed and will be returned to the user for revision.
(`64 Code, Sec. 25-36) (Ord. No. 2494)
All IWD permit applications shall be signed by an authorized representative of the user and contain the following certification statement:
“I certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to ensure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and imprisonment for knowing violations.”
(`64 Code, Sec. 25-37) (Ord. No. 2494)
The city manager will evaluate the data furnished by the user and may require additional information. Within 60 days of receipt of a complete permit application, the city manager will determine whether or not to issue an IWD permit. The city manager may deny any application for an IWD permit, for good cause.
(`64 Code, Sec. 25-38) (Ord. No. 2494)
