A. 
No person shall discharge industrial wastewater into the sewerage system in violation of Article XI, Prohibitions and Restrictions on All Users, of this Part 9 and unless the person discharging the same has submitted a complete and accurate industrial waste discharge questionnaire to DARA and the municipality in which the proposed discharge is located in the form prescribed by the Executive Director and has been issued an industrial waste discharge permit or has been issued a written determination by the Township or the Executive Director that a permit is unnecessary for the discharge described in the questionnaire.
B. 
Where a proposed discharge is believed by DARA to have a reasonable potential for adversely impacting the sewerage system, DARA may require treatability studies to be performed by the industrial user on the proposed wastewater in order to demonstrate its compatibility with the sewerage system. When such studies are required by DARA, they shall be preceded by the submittal of a treatability study plan by the industrial user to DARA for review and approval. All costs associated of preparing the treatability study plan and performing the treatability study shall be borne by the industrial user. DARA reserves the right to reject any treatability plan it considers inadequate to show the treatability of a given wastewater.
A. 
DARA shall establish local discharge limits regulating the discharge of specific pollutants to the sewerage system by industrial users. Local discharge limits may be established for any substance which is discharged or likely to be discharged to the sewerage system.
B. 
Local discharge limits may limit concentration, mass or a combination of the two.
C. 
The procedure for the calculation of local discharge limits shall be as recommended by the approval authority.
D. 
Local discharge limits shall be calculated to prevent interference, pass-through, the discharge of toxic materials in toxic amounts, threats to worker health and safety and physical, chemical or biological damage to the sewerage system.
E. 
Local discharge limits applicable to industrial users shall be adopted by resolution of DARA and/or by each municipality. Local discharge limits applicable to all significant industrial users shall be included in all industrial waste discharge permits.
F. 
Discharging any pollutant in excess of a local discharge limit established for that pollutant shall be a violation of this Part 9.
No industrial wastewater discharged into the sewerage system shall exceed the following mass loadings:
A. 
For industrial wastewater discharges less than 17,000 gpd on a calendar quarter average:
(1) 
140 pounds per day of BOD.
(2) 
140 pounds per day of TSS.
(3) 
10 1/2 pounds per day of TKN.
(4) 
280 pounds per day of COD.

230 x Q pounds per day of phosphorous.
C. 
Where Q is the average monthly flow limit, in units of million gallons per day, set forth in the industrial waste discharge permit.
A. 
Responsibility of industrial users.
(1) 
All industrial users shall provide and maintain, at their own expense, facilities adequate to prevent an accidental discharge or slug load of any substance stored or used at the industrial user's facilities that, if discharged into the sewerage system, will violate any of the provisions of § 253-78 or 253-82 of this Part 9. Slug control plans shall be submitted, as requested, to the Township and DARA, detailing the facility plans and operating procedures to be utilized by the industrial user for this protection. Slug control plans shall contain, at a minimum, the following information:
(a) 
A description of discharge practices, including nonroutine discharges, description of stored chemicals.
(b) 
Procedures for immediately notifying the Executive Director and the Township of accidental discharges and slug loads into the sewer system.
(c) 
Procedures to prevent adverse impacts from such discharges and procedures to prevent reoccurrence of any and all such discharges.
(2) 
All existing industrial users shall also provide DARA with a copy of its slug control plan or demonstrate to the satisfaction of DARA that such plan is not needed, within 180 days of the adoption of this Part 9. Industrial users proposing to connect to the sewerage system after the effective date of this Part 9 shall submit a copy of its slug control plan to the Township and to DARA for approval or demonstrate to the satisfaction of DARA that such a plan is not needed before connection to the sewerage system. Review of such plans and operating procedures shall not relieve the industrial user from the responsibility to modify the industrial user's facility as necessary to meet the requirements of this Part 9.
B. 
In the case of a slug load to the sewerage system of any pollutant, the industrial user shall immediately notify by telephone and by facsimile the Executive Director and the Township of the incident. The notification shall include information regarding the location of the discharge, the kind of pollutants involved, the concentration and volume of the discharge and corrective actions planned or taken.
C. 
Within five days following a slug load, the industrial user shall submit via facsimile and first class mail to the Township and to the Executive Director a detailed written report describing the cause of the discharge and the measures to be taken by the industrial user to prevent similar future occurrences. Such notification shall not relieve the industrial users of any liability on account thereof.
D. 
A notice shall be permanently posted by each industrial user on a bulletin board or other prominent place advising employees whom to call in the event of an accidental discharge or slug load. Employers shall inform all employees who may cause or allow a slug load to occur of the emergency notification procedure.
E. 
Any requirements PADEP may have concerning such discharge or notification continue to be applicable.
If the National Categorical Pretreatment Standards located in 40 CFR, Chapter I, Subchapter N, Parts 405 through 471, or standards of any municipality, for any industrial user are more stringent than limitation imposed under this Part 9 for industrial users in that subcategory, then the pretreatment standards or the municipal standards shall apply and are hereby incorporated in this Part 9. DARA shall notify all affected industrial users of the applicable reporting requirements under 40 CFR 403.12. In an industrial user, subject to a National Categorical Pretreatment Standard has not previously submitted an application for an industrial waste discharge permit, the industrial user shall apply for a permit within 90 days of promulgation of the National Categorical Pretreatment Standard.
Except where expressly authorized to do so by an applicable pretreatment standard or pretreatment requirement, no industrial user shall increase the use of process water or in any other way attempt to dilute a discharge as a partial or complete substitute for adequate treatment to achieve compliance with a pretreatment standard or requirement. DARA may impose mass limitations (in lieu of or in addition to those imposed under § 253-83) on industrial users in cases where the imposition of mass limitations is appropriate.
State or Township requirements and limitations on industrial wastewater discharges shall apply in any case where they are more stringent than federal requirements and limitations or those set forth in this Part 9.
The Township and DARA reserve the right to establish more stringent limitations or requirements on discharges to the sewerage system. If PADEP issues more stringent discharge standards they shall become applicable immediately.
A.

Where a significant industrial user, subject to a newly promulgated National Categorical Pretreatment Standard, has not previously submitted the baseline monitoring information required by 40 CFR 403.12(b), the significant industrial user shall, within 180 days after the promulgation of the applicable National Categorical Pretreatment Standard, provide this information to DARA. The report shall include all items required by 40 CFR 403.12(b).
(2) 
A new source or a user proposing to discharge wastes into the sewerage system that is subject to a National Categorical Pretreatment Standard shall submit to DARA the baseline monitoring report required by 40 CFR 403.12(b) at least 90 days prior to commencement of discharge from the regulated process or facility.
D. 
Noncomplying discharge report. If sampling performed by significant industrial user indicates a violation of this Part 9, an applicable pretreatment standard or the significant industrial user's industrial waste discharge permit, the significant industrial user shall notify DARA and the Township within 24 hours of becoming aware of the violation. The industrial user shall also repeat the sampling and analysis and submit the results of the repeat analysis to DARA and the Township within 30 days after becoming aware of the violation.
A. 
All significant industrial users shall provide and operate, at their own expense, monitoring facilities to allow inspection, sampling and flow measurement of its industrial waste discharge. The monitoring facility should normally be situated on the significant industrial user's premises, but the Township may, when such a location would be impractical or cause undue hardship on the significant industrial user, allow or require the facility to be constructed in the public street or sidewalk area and located so that it will not be obstructed by landscaping or parked vehicles.
B. 
The monitoring facility shall be constructed in accordance with plans and specifications approved by DARA and the Township. There shall be ample room in or near such facility to allow accurate sampling and preparation of samples for analysis. The facility, sampling and measuring equipment shall be maintained at all times in a safe and proper operating condition at the expense of the significant industrial user.

DARA or the Township may inspect the facilities of any industrial user. Persons or occupants of premises where wastewater is created or discharged shall allow DARA or its representatives or the Township or its representatives ready access at all reasonable times to all parts of the premises for the purpose of inspection, sampling, records examination and copying or in the performance of any of their duties. DARA, the Township, DEP and EPA shall have the right to set up on the industrial user's property such devices as are necessary to conduct sampling inspection, compliance monitoring and/or metering operations. Where an industrial user has security measures in force which would require proper identification and clearance before entry into its premises, the industrial user shall make necessary arrangements with its security guards so that upon presentation of suitable identification, personnel from DARA, the Township, DEP or EPA will be permitted to enter, without delay or restriction.
A. 
Significant industrial users shall provide necessary pretreatment and flow-equalizing facilities as required to comply with this Part 9 and shall achieve compliance with all applicable National Categorical Pretreatment Standards within the time limitations as specified by the appropriate federal regulations. Any facilities required to pretreat or flow-equalize wastewater to a level in compliance with the provisions of this Part 9 shall be provided, operated and maintained at the industrial user's sole expense. Detailed plans showing the pretreatment facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to DARA and the Township for review before construction of the facility. The review of such plans and operating procedures does not constitute approval or an indication of suitability and will in no way relieve the industrial user from the responsibility of modifying the facility as necessary to produce an effluent in compliance with the provisions of this Part 9. Any subsequent changes in the pretreatment facilities, flow-equalizing facilities or method of operation shall be reported to and be approved by DARA and the Township prior to the industrial user's initiation of the changes.
B. 
A significant industrial user may allow a bypass which does not cause pretreatment standards to be violated, but only for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. If a significant industrial user knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior notice to DARA and the Township, if possible, at least 10 days before the date of the bypass. A significant industrial user shall give oral notice of an unanticipated bypass that exceeds applicable pretreatment standards to DARA and the Township within 24 hours from the time the significant industrial user becomes aware of the bypass. A written report shall also be provided within five days of the time the significant industrial user becomes aware of the bypass. The written report shall contain a description of the bypass and its cause, the duration of the bypass, including exact dates and times and, if the bypass has not been corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to continue and steps taken or planned to reduce, eliminate and prevent reoccurrence of the bypass.

The Township shall reimburse DARA for all of its expenses incurred as a result of reviews, monitoring, application processing, sampling or any other activities conducted by DARA and directly related to ensuring the industrial user's compliance with the provisions of this Part 9.
A. 
An industrial user discharging any quantity of waste to the sewerage system which, if otherwise disposed of, would be an acute hazardous waste under 40 CFR 261, shall provide a one-time notification to the Township, DARA, the EPA Region III Waste Management Division Director and the state hazardous waste authorities.
B. 
The notification required by Subsection A of this section shall include the name of the hazardous waste as set forth in 40 CFR 261, the EPA hazardous waste number, the type of discharge (continuous, batch or other) and a certification that the industrial user has a program in place to reduce the volume and toxicity of hazardous wastes generated to the degree it has determined to be economically practical. If the industrial user discharges more than 100 kilograms of such waste in a month to the sewerage system, the notification shall also include an identification of the hazardous constituents contained in the waste, as estimation of the mass and concentration of such constituents discharged during the month and an estimation of the mass of constituents expected to be discharged by the industrial user to the sewerage system during the following twelve-month period.
C. 
If an industrial user discharges a nonacute hazardous waste under 40 CFR 261 to the sewerage system, the industrial user shall provide the one-time notification described in Subsection B, if the total mass of hazardous waste discharged to the sewerage system during any month exceeds 15 kilograms.
A. 
Information and data on an industrial user obtained from reports, questionnaires, permit applications, permits, notifications and monitoring programs and from inspections shall be available to the public or other governmental agency without restriction unless the industrial user specifically requests, in writing, and is able to demonstrate to the Township's and DARAs satisfaction that the release of such information would divulge information processes or methods of production entitled to protection as trade secrets of the industrial user.
B. 
When requested by the person furnishing a report, those portions of a report that have been accepted by the Township and DARA as confidential, shall not be made available for inspection by the public but shall be made available upon written request to governmental agencies for uses related to this Part 9, the NPDES permit, state disposal system permit and/or the state or federal pretreatment programs; provided, however, that such portions of any report shall be available for use by the state or any state agency in judicial review or enforcement proceedings involving the person furnishing the report. Wastewater constituents and characteristics will not be recognized as confidential information.
C. 
When information accepted by the Township or DARA as confidential is transmitted to any governmental agency by the Township or DARA, a notification to the industrial user shall be provided by the Township or DARA listing the confidential information transmitted and the governmental entity requesting the information.
A. 
The flow volume used to determine wastewater flows and surcharges shall be specified in the industrial waste discharge permit and be based on:
(1) 
Direct waster metering.
