All persons receiving such permission shall abide by all applicable provisions of this subchapter, and any other special provisions that may be established by the Superintendent as necessary for the proper operation and maintenance of the sewerage system.
(2) It shall be illegal to discharge any batch liquid waste into any manhole or other part of the public sewer system, except at designated points of discharge specified by the Superintendent for such purposes.
(3) Waste haulers who have been granted permission to discharge to the public sewer system shall pay fees for such discharge in accordance with a fee schedule established by the Superintendent and approved by the city.
(4) Nothing in this subchapter shall relieve waste haulers of the responsibility for compliance with County Health Department, state or federal regulations.
(D) No statement contained in this subchapter shall be construed as preventing any special agreement or arrangement between the city and any industrial concern whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength or character may be accepted by the city for treatment provided applicable, local, state and federal pretreatment regulations or the city’s NPDES/KPDES permit including best management practices are not violated. Any such agreement must be made a part of the permit for that industrial users and must receiver prior approval from the State Division of Water.
