Users shall provide wastewater treatment as necessary to comply with this Part
5 and shall achieve compliance with all categorical pretreatment standards, local limits, and the prohibitions set out in Article
XV of this Part
5 within the time limitations specified by the EPA, the state, or the control authority, whichever is more stringent. Any facilities necessary for compliance shall be provided, operated, and maintained at the user's expense. Detailed plans describing such facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the control authority for review and shall be acceptable to the control authority before such facilities are constructed. The review of such plans and operating procedures shall in no way relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying such facilities as necessary to produce a discharge acceptable to the control authority under the provisions of this Part
5.
The control authority shall evaluate whether
each significant industrial user needs an accidental discharge/slug
control plan or other action to control slug discharges. The control
authority may require any user to develop, submit for approval, and
implement such a plan. Alternatively, the control authority may develop
such a plan for any user. An accidental discharge/slug discharge control
plan shall address, at a minimum, the following:
A. Description of discharge practices, including nonroutine
batch discharges;
B. Description of stored chemicals;
C. Procedures for immediately notifying the control authority of any accidental or slug discharge, as required by this Part
5; and
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.
