(A) No significant industrial user shall discharge wastewater into the POTW without first obtaining a wastewater discharge permit from the Pretreatment Coordinator except that a significant industrial user that has filed a timely application pursuant to this chapter may continue to discharge for the time period specified therein.
(B) The Pretreatment Coordinator may require other users to obtain wastewater discharge permits as necessary to carry out the purposes of this chapter. Any user subject to National Categorical Pretreatment Standards that opts not to discharge said waste shall obtain a zero wastewater discharge permit issued by the Pretreatment Coordinator. Other users that may be required to obtain discharge permits, include but are not limited to, non-categorical zero process dischargers and restaurants. Holders of wastewater discharge permits issued under this section shall not be classified as significant industrial users.
(C) Any violation of the terms and conditions of a wastewater discharge permit shall be deemed a violation of this chapter and subject the wastewater discharge permittee to the sanctions set out in §§ 54.130 through 54.136, 54.145 through 54.148 and 54.160 through 54.164 of this chapter. Obtaining a wastewater discharge permit does not relieve a permittee of its obligation to comply with all federal and state pretreatment standards or requirements or with any other requirements of federal, state, and local law.
