Compliance by existing users (categorical users) covered by categorical pretreatment standards shall be within three (3) years of the date the standard is effective unless a shorter compliance time is specified in the appropriate standard. The City shall establish a final compliance deadline date for any existing industrial user not covered by categorical pretreatment standards or for any categorical industrial user when the local limits for said industrial user are more restrictive than Federal Categorical Pretreatment Standards.
New sources and new industrial users are required to comply with applicable pretreatment standards within the shortest feasible time not to exceed ninety (90) days from the beginning of the discharge. New sources and new industrial users shall install and have in operating condition and shall start up all pollution control equipment required to meet applicable pretreatment standards before beginning to discharge.
Any wastewater discharge permit issued to a categorical industrial user will include a compliance date consistent with any deadline date established in EPA's categorical pretreatment standards. Any other existing industrial user or categorical industrial user that must comply with a more stringent local limit, which is in noncompliance with any local limits shall be provided with a compliance schedule with milestones not to exceed twelve (12) months for a total of five (5) years placed in an industrial wastewater permit to ensure compliance within the shortest time feasible.
