No facility shall generate, treat and/or dispose industrial waste, either through off-site disposal or on-site discharge to the sanitary sewer, without obtaining and maintaining a permit from the Fire Department. The Fire Department may waive this requirement if the quantity and characteristics of the industrial waste generated at the facility is considered by the Fire Department to be insignificant. The initial application, five-year renewals, amendments, and plan reviews are subject to a non-recurring fee. The industrial waste disposal permit is renewed annually as part of the CUPA Permit. One of the following Industrial Waste permits shall be required:
(A) Joint Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit. A Joint Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit is required for any facility that discharges industrial wastewater to the sanitary sewer unless specifically exempted. This permit requires approval from both the Fire Department and the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts. The term of the Joint Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit is typically five years.
(B) City Industrial Waste Disposal Permit. A City Industrial Waste Disposal Permit is required if the facility generating, treating, and/or disposing industrial wastewater is not required to obtain a Joint Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit. The City Industrial Waste Disposal Permit is renewed annually with the CUPA Permit.
