(A) Users shall provide necessary wastewater treatment as required to comply with this chapter and shall achieve compliance with all national categorical pretreatment standards, local limits, and the prohibitions set forth in § 54.35 within the time limitations as specified by EPA, the state, or Supervisor, whichever is more stringent. Any facilities required to pretreat wastewater to a level acceptable to the city shall be provided, operated, and maintained at the user’s expense. Detailed plans showing the pretreatment facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the city for review. The city will review such plans and respond with suggested modifications within 30 days following plan submittal. The review of such plans and operating procedures will in no way relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying the facility as necessary to produce an effluent acceptable to the city under the provisions of this chapter. Any subsequent changes in the pretreatment facilities or method of operation shall be reported to the city prior to the user’s initiation of the changes.
(B) The city shall annually publish in the largest local newspaper of local distribution a list of the categorical industrial users that are in significant noncompliance of any pretreatment requirements or standards during the 12 previous months, as is required under the public participation requirements of 40 C.F.R. Part 25.
(C) All records relating to compliance with pretreatment standards and requirements shall be made available to officials of the EPA or EGLE upon request.
