§ 53.55 PRETREATMENT OF WASTEWATER.
   (A)   Pretreatment facilities. Users shall provide wastewater treatment as necessary to comply with this subchapter and shall achieve compliance with all categorical pretreatment standards, local limits, and the prohibitions set out in § 53.53(A) within the time limitations specified by EPA, the commonwealth, or the Superintendent, whichever is more stringent. Any facilities necessary for compliance shall be provided, operated, and maintained at the user’s expense. Detailed plans describing such facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the Superintendent for review and shall be acceptable to the Superintendent before such facilities are constructed. The review of such plans and operating procedures shall in no way relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying such facilities as necessary to produce a discharge acceptable to the city under the provisions of this subchapter.
   (B)   Additional pretreatment measures.
      (1)   Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the Superintendent, they are necessary for the proper handling of wastewater containing excessive amounts of grease and oil or sand, except that such interceptors shall not be required for residential users. All interception units shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Superintendent, shall comply with the § 53.30, and shall be so located to be easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Such interceptors shall be inspected, cleaned, and repaired in accordance with § 53.30, by the user at their expense.

      (3)   Accidental discharge/slug discharge control plans.
         (a)   The Superintendent shall evaluate whether each SIU needs an accidental discharge/slug discharge control plan or other action to control slug discharges. The Superintendent may require any user to develop, submit for admit approval, and implement such a plan or take such other action that may be necessary to control slug discharges. Alternatively, the Superintendent may develop such a plan for any user.
         (b)   An accidental discharge/slug discharge control plan shall address, at a minimum, the following:
            1.   Description of discharge practices, including non-routine batch discharges;
            2.   Description of stored chemicals;
            3.   Procedures for immediately notifying the Superintendent of any accidental or slug discharge, as required by § 53.58(F); and
            4.   Procedures to prevent adverse impact from any accidental or slug discharge. Such procedures include, but are not limited to, inspection and maintenance of storage areas, handling and transfer of materials, loading and unloading operations, control of plant site runoff, worker training, building of containment structures or equipment, measures for containing toxic organic pollutants, including solvents, and/or measures and equipment for emergency response.
   (C)   Hauled wastewater.
      (1)   Septic tank waste may be introduced into the POTW only at locations designated by the Superintendent, and at such times as are established by the Superintendent. Such waste shall not violate § 53.54 or any other requirements established by the city. The Superintendent may require septic tank waste haulers to obtain individual wastewater discharge permits.
      (2)   The Superintendent may require haulers of industrial waste to obtain individual wastewater discharge permits. The Superintendent may require generators of hauled industrial waste to obtain individual wastewater discharge permits. The Superintendent also may prohibit the disposal of hauled industrial waste. The discharge of hauled industrial waste is subject to all other requirements of this subchapter.
      (3)   Industrial waste haulers may discharge loads only at locations designated by the Superintendent. No load may be discharged without prior consent of the Superintendent. The Superintendent may collect samples of each hauled load to ensure compliance with applicable standards.

This form shall include, at a minimum, the name and address of the industrial waste hauler, permit number, truck identification, names and addresses of sources of waste, and volume and characteristics of waste. The form shall identify the type of industry, known or suspected waste constituents, and whether any wastes are RCRA hazardous wastes.
