(A) All nondomestic users must notify the Director of the nature and characteristics of their wastewater prior to commencing their discharge. The Director is authorized to prepare a form for this purpose.
(B) It shall be unlawful for significant industrial users to discharge wastewater, either directly or indirectly, into the sewage works or POTW township’s sanitary sewer system without first obtaining an industrial user pretreatment permit from the YCUA. Any violation of the terms and conditions of an industrial user pretreatment permit shall be deemed a violation of this subchapter. Obtaining an industrial user pretreatment permit does not relieve a permittee of its obligation to obtain other permits required by federal, state or local law.
(C) The Director may require that other industrial users, including liquid waste haulers, obtain industrial user pretreatment permits as necessary to carry out the purposes of this subchapter.
(D) Any industrial user located beyond the Ypsilanti Township limits shall submit a permit application in accordance with Article 62 of the Ypsilanti Township Sewer Use Article within 60 days of the effective date of the ordinance from which this subchapter is derived. New industrial users located beyond the Ypsilanti Township limits shall submit applications to the Director 60 days prior to discharging into the sewage works or POTW. Upon review and approval of the application, the Director may enter into a contract with the user which requires the user to subject itself to, and abide by this subchapter, including all permitting, compliance monitoring, reporting, and enforcement provisions contained in this subchapter, the Act or State Act.
(E) Any significant industrial user which discharges nondomestic waste into the sewage works or POTW prior to the effective date of the ordinance from which this subchapter is derived and who wishes to continue such discharges in the future, shall, within 90 days after the date, apply to the YCUA for an industrial user pretreatment permit and shall not cause or allow discharges to the POTW to continue after 180 days from and after the effective date of the ordinance from which this subchapter is derived except in accordance with a permit issued by the Director.
(F) Any significant industrial user proposing to begin or recommence discharging nondomestic wastes into the sewage works or POTW must obtain a pretreatment permit prior to beginning or recommencing the discharge. An application for this permit must be filed at least 60 days prior to the anticipated start up date.
