When requested by the control authority, a user
must submit information on the nature and characteristics of its wastewater
within five days of the request. The control authority is authorized
to prepare a form for this purpose and may periodically require users
to update this information.
Any user required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit who proposes to begin or recommence discharging into the POTW must obtain such permit prior to the beginning or recommencing of such discharge. An application for this wastewater discharge permit, in accordance with §
122-47 of this Part
2, must be filed at least 60 days prior to the date upon which any discharge will begin or recommence.

Joint Sewer Authority prior to or together with any reports to be
signed by an authorized representative.
