All users required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit must submit, at a minimum, the following information. The superintendent shall approve a form to be used as a permit application. Categorical users submitting the following information shall have complied with 40 CFR 403.12(b).
A. Identifying Information:
1. The name and address of the facility, including the name of the operator and owners;
2. Contact information, description of activities, facilities, and plant production processes on the premises;
B. Environmental Permits: A list of all environmental control permits held by or for the facility;
C. Description Of Operations:
1. A brief description of the nature, average rate of production (including each product produced by type, amount, processes, and rate of production), and standard industrial classification of the operation(s) carried out by such user. The description shall include a schematic process diagram which indicates points of discharge to the POTW from the regulated or manufacturing processes; site plans; floor plans; mechanical and plumbing plans; and details to show all sanitary sewers; floor drains; mechanical and plumbing plans; and details to show all sewers; sewer connections; inspection manholes; sampling chambers and appurtenances by size, location and elevation;
2. A list of all raw materials and chemicals used or stored at the facility which are or could be accidentally or intentionally discharged to the POTW;
3. Number and type of employees and 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) and the time and duration of discharges;
D. Flow Measurement:
1. Categorical user: The user shall submit information showing the measured average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the POTW from all regulated or manufacturing process streams and other streams as necessary to allow use of the combined wastestream formula (40 CFR 403.6(e)).
2. Noncategorical user: The user shall submit information showing the measured average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the POTW for total process flow, wastewater treatment plant flow, total plant flow, individual manufacturing process flow as required by the superintendent;
E. Measurements Of Pollutants:
1. Categorical User:
a. The user shall identify the applicable pretreatment standards for each regulated or manufacturing process.
b. In addition, the user shall submit the results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration (or mass where required by the categorical pretreatment standard or as required by the city) of regulated pollutants in the discharge from each regulated or manufacturing process. Instantaneous, daily maximum, and average concentrations (or mass where required) shall be reported. The sample shall be representative of daily operations and shall conform to the sampling and analytical procedures outlined in this chapter. Where the standard requires compliance with a BMP or pollution prevention alternative, the user shall submit documentation as required by the superintendent or the applicable pretreatment standards to determine compliance.
c. The user shall take a minimum of one representative sample to compile that data necessary to comply with the requirements of this subsection E1c.
d. Where an alternate concentration or mass limit has been calculated in accordance with 40 CFR 403.6(e) for a categorical user, this adjusted limit along with supporting data shall be submitted as part of the application.
2. Noncategorical User:
a. The user shall identify the applicable pretreatment standards for its wastewater discharge.
b. In addition, the user shall submit the results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration in the discharge (or mass where required by the city) of regulated pollutants as appropriate. Both the daily maximum and average concentration (or mass, where required) shall be reported. The sample shall be representative of daily operations and shall conform to sampling and analytical procedures as outlined in this chapter.
c. The user shall take a minimum of one representative sample to compile the data necessary to comply with the requirements of this subsection E2c.
d. Where the superintendent developed alternative concentration or mass limits because of dilution, this adjusted limit along with supporting data shall be submitted as part of the application;
F. Certification: The user shall submit a statement, worded as specified in section 13.20.125 of this chapter, which has been reviewed by an authorized representative of the user, and certified by a qualified professional, indicating whether the applicable pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent basis, and if not, whether additional operation and maintenance (O&M) and/or additional pretreatment is required for the user to meet the applicable pretreatment standards and requirements;
G. Compliance Schedule: If additional pretreatment and/or O&M will be required to meet the applicable pretreatment standards, the user shall submit the shortest schedule by which the user will provide such additional pretreatment and/or O&M must be provided. The completion date in this schedule shall not be later than the compliance date established for the applicable pretreatment standard. A compliance schedule pursuant to this subsection must meet the requirements set out in section 13.20.180 of this chapter;
H. Information To Meet New Or Revised Pretreatment Standards: Applicable information to meet new or revised pretreatment standards as outlined in section 13.20.170 of this chapter;
I.
Monitoring Waiver Requests: Any requests for a monitoring waiver (or a renewal of an approved monitoring waiver) for a pollutant neither present nor expected to be present in the discharge based on 40 CFR 403.12(e)(2) and as outlined in section 13.20.180 of this chapter. If granted, the monitoring waiver will be included as a condition in the Users permit and will be valid for the duration of the effective period of the permit, but in no case longer than 5 years;
J. Other Information: Any other information as may be deemed necessary by the superintendent to evaluate the permit application.
Incomplete or inaccurate applications will not be processed and will be returned to the user for revision. (Ord. 3125 § 2, 2023: Ord. 3032, 2019: Ord. 2837 § 1, 2008)
