[Ord. 422, 10/12/1994; as amended by Ord. 656, 4/9/2015]
Industrial users shall provide wastewater treatment as necessary to comply with this Part and shall achieve compliance with all categorical pretreatment standards, local limits established by the MTMA and the prohibitions set out in §
18-306 of this Part within the time limitations specified by the EPA, the state or the MTMA, whichever is more stringent. Any facilities necessary for compliance shall be provided, operated and maintained at the industrial user's expense. Detailed plans describing such facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the MTMA for review and shall be acceptable to the MTMA before such facilities are constructed. The review of such plans and operating procedures shall in no way relieve the industrial user from the responsibility of modifying such facilities as necessary to produce a discharge acceptable to the MTMA under the provisions of this Part.

At least once every two years the MTMA shall evaluate whether
each significant industrial user needs an accidental discharge/slug
control plan. The MTMA may require any user to develop, submit for
approval and implement such a plan. An accidental discharge/slug control
plan, if required by the MTMA, shall address, at a minimum, the following:
A. A description of discharge practices, including nonroutine batch
discharges.
B. A description of stored chemicals.
C. Procedures for immediately notifying the MTMA of any accidental or slug discharge, as required by §
18-346 of this Part.
D. 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.

1. Septic tank waste may be introduced into the POTW only at locations
designated by the MTMA and at such times as are established by the
MTMA. Such waste shall not violate Part 3B or any other requirements
established or adopted by the MTMA. The MTMA may require septic tank
waste haulers to obtain wastewater discharge permits.
2. The MTMA shall require haulers of industrial waste to obtain wastewater
discharge permits. The MTMA may require generators of hauled industrial
waste to obtain wastewater discharge permits. The MTMA may also prohibit
the disposal of hauled industrial waste. The discharge of hauled industrial
waste is subject to all other requirements of this Part.
3. Industrial waste haulers may discharge loads only at locations designated
by the MTMA. No load may be discharged without prior consent of the
MTMA as to each location of discharge and specific time of discharge.
The MTMA may collect samples of each hauled load to ensure compliance
with applicable standards. The MTMA may require the industrial waste
hauler to provide a waste analysis of any load prior to discharge,
which analysis shall be conducted at the expense of the industrial
waste hauler.
4. Industrial waste haulers must provide a waste-tracking form for every
load. 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.

Where an owner of property leases premises to any other person
as a tenant under any rental or lease agreement, if either the owner
or the tenant is an industrial user, either or both may be held responsible
for compliance with the provisions of this Part.
