Industrial wastewater discharge permits shall include such conditions as are reasonably deemed necessary by the city to prevent pass-through or interference, protect the quality of the water body receiving the treatment plant's effluent, protect worker health and safety, facilitate sludge management and disposal, and protect against damage to the POTW.
(A) Industrial wastewater discharge permits must contain the following conditions:
1. A statement that indicates industrial wastewater discharge permit duration, which in no event shall exceed five (5) years;
2. A statement that the industrial wastewater discharge permit is nontransferable without prior notification to and approval from the city, and provisions for furnishing the new owner or operator with a copy of the existing industrial wastewater discharge permit;
3. Applicable pretreatment standards and requirements, including effluent limits, best management practices (BMPs) based on applicable general pretreatment standards in 40 CFR part 403 which may be made a part of this chapter, categorical pretreatment standards, local limits, and any special state requirements;
4. Self-monitoring, sampling, reporting, notification, submittal of technical reports, compliance schedules, and recordkeeping requirements. These requirements shall include an identification of pollutants to be monitored, sampling location, sampling frequency, and sample type based on federal, state, and local law;
5. Requirement for immediate notification to the city where self-monitoring results indicate noncompliance;
6. Requirement to report a bypass or upset of a pretreatment facility;
7. Requirement to report immediately to the city all discharges, including slug loadings, that could cause problems to the POTW;
8. Requirement for the SIU who reports noncompliance to notify the city within twenty four (24) hours of becoming aware of the noncompliance and repeat the sampling and analysis and submit results to the city within thirty (30) days after becoming aware of the violation;
9. A statement of applicable civil, criminal, and administrative penalties for violation of pretreatment standards and requirements, and any applicable compliance schedule;
10. Requirements to control slug discharges, if determined by the POTW to be necessary.
(B) Industrial wastewater discharge permits may contain, but need not be limited to, the following conditions:
1. Limits on the average and/or maximum rate of discharge, time of discharge, and/or requirements for flow regulation and equalization;
2. Requirements for the installation of pretreatment technology, pollution control, or construction of appropriate containment devices designed to reduce, eliminate, or prevent the introduction of pollutants into the treatment works;
3. Requirements for the development and implementation of spill control plans or other special conditions including management practices necessary to adequately prevent accidental, unanticipated, or nonroutine discharges;
4. Development and implementation of waste minimization plans to reduce the amount of pollutants discharged to the POTW;
5. The unit charge or schedule of user charges and fees for the management of the wastewater discharged to the POTW;
6. Requirements for installation and maintenance of inspection and sampling facilities and equipment including flow measurement devices;
7. A statement that compliance with the industrial wastewater discharge permit does not relieve the permittee of responsibility for compliance with all applicable federal and state pretreatment standards, including those which become effective during the term of the industrial wastewater discharge permit;
8. Other conditions as deemed appropriate by the city to ensure compliance with this chapter, and state and federal laws, rules, and regulations. (Ord. 2020-018, 10-19-2020)
