Any significant industrial user and any other user required
to apply for a wastewater discharge permit under this Article or by
the Authority shall not discharge wastewater or any other substance
into a POTW except in accordance with the terms and conditions of
a wastewater discharge permit issued by the county pursuant to this
Article.
Effluent limitations in a wastewater discharge permit shall
be based upon the more stringent of the following:
A. Federal Categorical Pretreatment Standards.
B. State pretreatment requirements.
C. Local limits determined by the county which are necessary to protect a POTW from materials described in §
256-59 and to protect against interference, bypass, upset, slug loading pass-through or damage to sludge generated by the POTW which might prevent its use, recycling or reclamation.
A permit shall be issued for a specified time period not to
exceed five years. The terms and conditions of the permit may be subject
to modification by the county during the term of the permit as limitations
or requirements as identified in this Article are modified or other
just cause exists (i.e, changes in the federal or state requirements
or pretreatment standards). A user shall apply for permit reissuance
at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the user's existing permit
or whenever required by this Article or the Authority.
A wastewater discharge permit issued to a specific user for
a specific process or operation shall not be assigned, reassigned,
transferred or sold to a new owner, new user, a different premise
or location or a new or changed operation.
