(A) It is unlawful for any person to discharge or cause to be discharged any industrial wastewater directly or indirectly to any city sewer without first obtaining a city permit for industrial wastewater discharge.
(B) The permit for industrial wastewater discharge may require a pretreatment of industrial wastewaters before discharge, restriction of peak flow discharges, discharge of certain wastewaters only to specified sewers of the city, relocation of point of discharge, prohibition of discharge of certain wastewater components, restriction of discharge to certain hours of the day, payment of additional charges to defray increased costs to the city created by the wastewater discharge and other conditions as may be required to effectuate the purpose of this chapter.
(C) If the Public Works Director or his designee decides that a slug control plan is needed, the plan must contain, at a minimum, the following elements:
(1) Description of discharge practices;
(2) Description of stored chemicals;
(3) Procedures for immediately notifying the city sewer system of slug discharges, including any discharge that would violate a prohibition under 40 CFR § 403.5(b), with procedures for follow-up written notification within five days;
(4) If necessary, procedures to prevent adverse impact from accidental spills, including inspection and maintenance of storage areas, handling and transfer of materials, loading and unloading operations, control of plant site run-off, worker training, building of containment structures or equipment, measures for containing toxic organic pollutants (including solvents), and/or measures and equipment for emergency response (40 CFR § 403.8(f)(1)(iii)).
(D) The city will deny or condition new or increased contributions of pollutants or changes in the nature of pollutants from industrial users based on industry’s violations of applicable pretreatment standards or the limitations imposed by this chapter or where the contributions could cause the city’s wastewater treatment plant to violate its NPDES permit (40 CFR § 403.8(f)(1)(iii)).
(E) In addition each permit upon renewal or each application for a permit must be accompanied by the fees as required by this chapter and the schedule of fees adopted by the City Council.
