Users shall provide wastewater treatment as necessary to comply with this Part
1 and shall achieve compliance with all categorical pretreatment standards, local limits, and the prohibitions set out in §
187-5 of this Part
1 within the time limitations specified by the EPA, the state, or the POTW-TP, 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 POTW-TP and to the MTMSA for review, and shall be acceptable to the POTW-TP and the MTMSA 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 POTW-TP and the MTMSA under the provisions of this Part
1.
[Amended 2-13-2012 by Ord. No. 12-255]
Within one year of a user being designated as an SIU and at
least every two years thereafter, the POTW-TP or MTMSA shall evaluate
whether each SIU needs an accidental discharge/slug discharge control
plan or other action to control slug discharges. All users are required
to notify the POTW-TP or MTMSA immediately of any changes in their
facilities affecting the potential for an accidental discharge and/or
slug discharge to the POTW. The POTW-TP or the MTMSA may require any
user to develop, submit for approval and implement such a plan or
take such other action that may be necessary to control slug discharges.
Alternatively, the POTW-TP or the MTMSA 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 POTW-TP and the MTMSA of any accidental or slug discharge, as required by §
187-35 of this Part
1; 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.
