All users required to obtain an industrial wastewater discharge permit must submit, at a minimum, the following information. The city shall approve a form to be used as a permit application. Categorical users submitting the following information shall have complied with 40 CFR 403.12(b).
(A) Identifying Information: The user shall submit the name and address of the facility including the name of the operator and owners;
(B) Permits: The user shall submit a list of all environmental control permits held by or for the facility;
(C) Description Of Operations: The user shall submit a brief description of the nature, average rate of production, and standard industrial classification of the operation(s) carried out by such industrial user, including a list of all raw materials and chemicals used or stored at the facility which are or could accidentally or intentionally be discharged to the POTW; number and type of employees; hours of operation; each product produced by type, amount, process or processes, and rate of production; type and amount of raw materials processed (average and maximum per day) and the time and duration of discharges. This description should also include a schematic process diagram which indicates points of discharge to the POTW from the regulated or manufacturing processes; site plans; floor plans; mechanical and plumbing plans; and details to show all sewers, sewer connections, inspection manholes, sampling chambers and appurtenances by size, location and elevation.
(D) Flow Measurement:
1. Categorical user: The user shall submit information showing the measured average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the POTW from each of the following:
(a) Regulated or manufacturing process streams; and
(b) Other streams as necessary to allow use of the combined waste stream formula (40 CFR 403.6(e)).
2. Noncategorical user: The user shall submit information showing the measured average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the POTW from each of the following:
(a) Total process flow, wastewater treatment plant flow, total plant flow or individual manufacturing process flow as required by the city.
The city may allow for verifiable estimates of these flows where justified by cost or feasibility.
(E) Measurements Of Pollutants:
1. Categorical User:
(a) The user shall identify the applicable pretreatment standards for each regulated or manufacturing process.
(b) In addition, the user shall submit the results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration (or mass where required by the categorical pretreatment standard or as required by the city) of regulated pollutants (including standards contained in sections 7-7-2-1 through 7-7-2-4 of this chapter, as appropriate) in the discharge from each regulated or manufacturing process. Both daily maximum and average concentration (or mass, where required) shall be reported. The sample shall be representative of daily operations and shall conform to sampling and analytical procedures outlined in section 7-7-5 of this chapter.
(c) The user shall take a minimum of one representative sample to compile that data necessary to comply with the requirements of this subsection.
(d) Where an alternate concentration or mass limit has been calculated in accordance with 40 CFR 403.6(e) for a categorical user, this adjusted limit along with supporting data shall be submitted as part of the application.
2. Noncategorical User:
(a) The user shall identify the applicable pretreatment standards for its wastewater discharge.
(b) In addition, the user shall submit the results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration in the discharge (or mass where required by the city) of regulated pollutants contained in sections 7-7-2-1 through 7-7-2-4 of this chapter, as appropriate. Both daily maximum and average concentration (or mass, where required) shall be reported. The sample shall be representative of daily operations and shall conform to sampling and analytical procedures outlined in section 7-7-5 of this chapter.
(c) The user shall take a minimum of one representative sample to compile that data necessary to comply with the requirements of this subsection.
(d) Where the city developed alternate concentration or mass limits because of dilution, this adjusted limit along with supporting data shall be submitted as part of the application.
(F) Certification: The user shall submit a statement, worded as specified in section 7-7-3-5 of this chapter, which has been reviewed by an authorized representative of the user, and certified by a qualified professional, indicating whether the applicable pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent basis, and, if not, whether additional operation and maintenance (O&M) and/or additional pretreatment is required for the user to meet the applicable pretreatment standards and requirements.
(G) Compliance Schedule: If additional pretreatment and/or O&M will be required to meet the applicable pretreatment standards, the user shall submit the shortest schedule by which the user will provide such additional pretreatment and/or O&M. The user's schedule shall conform with the requirements of section 7-7-4-4 of this chapter. The completion date in this schedule shall not be later than the compliance date established pursuant to section 7-7-2-9 of this chapter.
1. Where the user's categorical pretreatment standard has been modified by a removal allowance (40 CFR 403.7), the combined waste stream formula (40 CFR 403.6(e)), and/or a fundamentally different factors variance (40 CFR 403.13) at the time the user submits the report required by this subsection, the information required by subsection (F) of this section and this subsection (G) shall pertain to the modified limits.
2. If the categorical pretreatment standard is modified by a removal allowance (40 CFR 403.7), the combined waste stream formula (40 CFR 403.6(e)), and/or a fundamentally different factors variance (40 CFR 403.13) after the user submits the report required by subsection (F) of this section and this subsection (G), then a report containing modified information shall be submitted by the user within sixty (60) days after the new limit is approved.
(H) Additional Information: The user shall submit any other information as may be deemed necessary by the city to evaluate the industrial wastewater discharge permit application.
Incomplete or inaccurate applications will not be processed and will be returned to the user for revision.
