Compliance by existing sources covered by categorical pretreatment standards shall be within three (3) years of the date the standard is effective unless a shorter compliance time is specified in the appropriate standard. The city shall establish a final compliance deadline date for any existing user not covered by categorical pretreatment standards or for any categorical user when the local limits for said user are more restrictive than the federal categorical pretreatment standards.
New sources and new users are required to comply with applicable pretreatment standards within the shortest feasible time, not to exceed ninety (90) days from the beginning of discharge. New sources and new users shall install, have in operating condition, and shall start up all pollution control equipment required to meet applicable pretreatment standards before beginning to discharge.
Any industrial wastewater discharge permit issued to a categorical user shall not contain a compliance date beyond any deadline date established in an applicable categorical pretreatment standard. Any other existing user or a categorical user that must comply with a more stringent local limit which is in noncompliance with any local limit shall be required to comply with a compliance schedule to ensure compliance within the shortest time feasible. The compliance schedule may be included in a control mechanism, administrative order or compliance order, or other appropriate enforcement or control remedy. (Ord. 2020-018, 10-19-2020)
