All industrial users are required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit and must submit, at a minimum, an application in a form provided by the City and shall include the following information. Categorical industrial users shall also comply with the baseline report requirements pursuant to 40 CFR 403.12(b), or any superseding amendments thereto.
A. Identifying Information: The name and address of the facility, including the name of the operator and owners.
B. Permits: A list of all environmental control permits held by or for the facility.
C. Description Of Operation: A brief description of the nature, average rate of production, and standard industrial classification of the operation(s) carried out by such industrial user, including a list of all raw materials and chemicals used or stored at the facility which are, or could accidentally or intentionally be discharged to the POTW; a review of the categorical industrial user criteria and analysis of whether the user falls into one or more categories, number and type of employees; hours of operation; each product produced by type, amount,

process or processes and rate of production; the on-site or off-site storage capacity for wastewater; any planned process changes for the next three (3) years; type and amount of raw materials processed (average and maximum per day) and the time and duration of discharges. This description should also 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 sewers, sewer connections, inspection manholes, sampling chambers and appurtenances by size, location and elevation.
D. Flow Measurement:
1. Categorical Industrial User: Information showing the measured average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the POTW from each of the following:
a. Regulated or manufacturing process streams; and
b. Other streams as necessary to allow use of the combined waste streams formula pursuant to 40 CFR 403.6(e), or any superseding amendments thereto.
2. Noncategorical User: Information showing the measured average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the POTW from each of the following:
a. Total process flow wastewater treatment plant flow, total plant flow or individual manufacturing process flow as required by the Director. Verifiable estimates of these flows may be allowed where it is justified by cost or feasibility considerations.
E. Measurements Of Pollutants:
1. Categorical Industrial User:
a. Identify the applicable pretreatment standards for each regulated or manufacturing process.
b. 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 (including standards contained in Sections 8-4-2-1 through 8-4-2-5 of this Chapter, as appropriate) in the discharge from each regulated or manufacturing process. Both 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 outlined in Section 8-4-2-34 of this Chapter.

c. A minimum of one representative sample shall be taken to compile that data necessary to comply with the requirements of this subsection. Additional samples may be required by the City as necessary to accurately characterize the waste stream.
d. Where an alternate concentration or mass limit has been calculated in accordance with 40 CFR 403.6(e), or any superseding amendment thereto, for a categorical industrial user, this adjusted limit along with supporting data shall be submitted as part of the application.
2. Non-Categorical Industrial User:
a. Identify the applicable pretreatment standards for its wastewater discharge.
b. 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 contained in 8-4-2-1 through 8-4-2-5, as appropriate. Both 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 outlined in Sections 8-4-2-34 and 8-4-2-35.
c. The industrial user shall take a minimum of one (1) representative sample to compile that data necessary to comply with the requirements of this subsection.
d. Where the Director developed alternate concentration or mass limits because of dilution, this adjusted limit along with supporting data shall be submitted as part of the application.
F. Ability To Meet Pretreatment Standards: Submit a statement 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 industrial 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 industrial user shall submit the shortest schedule by which the industrial user will provide such additional pretreatment and/or O&M. The industrial user's schedule shall conform with the requirements of Section 8-4-2-26 of this Chapter. The completion date in this schedule shall not be later than the compliance date established pursuant to Section 8-4-2-9 of this Chapter.

1. Where the industrial user's categorical pretreatment standard has been modified by a removal allowance (40 CFR 403.7, or any superseding amendments thereto), the combined waste streams formula (40 CFR 403.6(e), or any superseding amendments thereto), and/or a fundamentally different factors variance (40 CFR 403.13, or any superseding amendments thereto) at the time the industrial user submits the report required by this subsection, the information required by subsections F and G of this Section shall pertain to the modified limits.
2. If the categorical pretreatment standard is modified by a removal allowance, the combined waste-stream formula, and/or a fundamentally different factors variance after the industrial user submits the report required by subsections F and G of this Section, then a report containing modified information shall be submitted by the industrial user within sixty (60) days after the new limit is approved.
Incomplete or inaccurate applications will not be processed and will be returned to the industrial user for revision. (Ord. 353, 6-21-1994; amd. Ord. 582, 10-9-2019)
