[Amended 11-18-2013 by Ord. No. 1563]
Users shall provide wastewater treatment as necessary to comply with this chapter and shall achieve compliance with all categorical pretreatment standards, local limits, and the prohibitions set out in §
553-18 of this chapter within the time limitations specified by the EPA, the state, or the Director, whichever is more stringent. Any facilities necessary for compliance shall be provided, operated, and maintained at the user's expense. Detailed written plans describing such facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the Director for review and acceptance 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 Director under the provisions of this chapter.
At least once every two years, the Director shall evaluate whether
each significant industrial user needs an accidental discharge/slug
control plan. The Director may require any user to develop, submit
for approval, and implement such a plan. Alternatively, the Director
may develop such a plan for any user. An accidental discharge/slug
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 Director of any accidental or slug discharge as required by §
553-47 of this chapter; and
D. Procedures to prevent adverse impact from any accidental or slug
discharge. Such procedures shall 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.
Septic tank waste, generated only in the City, may be introduced into the POTW only at locations designated in writing by the Director and at such times as are established in writing by the Director. The introduction of such wastes shall not violate Article
III of this chapter or any other requirements established by the City. The Director may require septic waste haulers to obtain wastewater discharge permits.
