As a means of determining compliance with this chapter, with
applicable SPDES permit conditions, and with applicable state and
federal law, each industrial user shall be required to notify the
Superintendent of any new or existing discharges to the POTW by submitting
a completed Industrial Chemical Survey (ICS) form and a completed
Industrial Wastewater Survey (IWS) form to the Superintendent. The
Superintendent may require any user discharging wastewater into the
POTW to file wastewater discharge reports and to supplement such reports
as the Superintendent deems necessary. All information shall be furnished
by the user in complete cooperation with the Superintendent.
The Superintendent shall, from time to time, notify each industrial
user of applicable pretreatment standards, and of other applicable
requirements under Section 204(B) and Section 405 of the Clean Water
Act, and Subtitles C and D of RCRA.
No person shall cause the discharge of slugs to the POTW. Each
person discharging, into the POTW, greater than 100,000 gallons per
day or greater than 5% of the average daily flow in the POTW, whichever
is lesser, shall install and maintain, on his property and at his
expense, a suitable storage and flow control facility to insure equalization
of flow over a twenty-four-hour period. The facility shall have a
capacity for at least 50% of the daily discharge volume and shall
be equipped with alarms and a rate of discharge controller, the regulation
of which shall be directed by the Superintendent. A wastewater discharge
permit may be issued solely for flow equalization.
Preliminary treatment, and flow equalization facilities, or
monitoring stations, if provided for any wastewater, shall be constructed
and maintained continuously clean, safe, and continuously operational
by the owner at his expense. Where an industrial user has such treatment,
equalization, or monitoring facilities at the time this chapter is
enacted, the Superintendent may approve or disapprove the adequacy
of such facilities. Where the Superintendent disapproves of such facilities
and construction of new or upgraded facilities for treatment, equalization,
or monitoring are required, plans and specifications for such facilities
shall be prepared by a licensed professional engineer and submitted
to the Superintendent. Construction of new or upgraded facilities
shall not commence until written approval of the Superintendent has
been obtained.
No unauthorized person shall negligently break, damage, destroy,
uncover, deface, tamper with, prevent access to, or render inaccurate,
or cause or permit the negligent breaking, damaging, destroying, uncovering,
or defacing, of tampering with, preventing access to, or rendering
inaccurate:
A. Any structure, appurtenance, or equipment which is a part of the
Town of Inlet POTW; or
B. Any measuring, sampling, and/or testing device or mechanism installed
pursuant to any requirement under this chapter except as approved
by the Superintendent.
In order that the industrial user's employees be informed
of the Town of Inlet requirements, a notice shall be permanently posted
on appropriate bulletin boards within the user's facility advising
employees of the Town of Inlet requirements and whom to call in case
of an accidental discharge in violation of this chapter.
When so requested in advance by an industrial user, and when
taking a sample of industrial wastewater, the Town of Inlet representative(s)
shall gather sufficient volume of sample so that the sample can be
split into two nearly equal volumes, each of size adequate for the
anticipated analytical protocols including any quality control (QC)
procedures. One of the portions shall be given to the representative
of the industrial user whose wastewater was sampled, and the other
portion shall be retained by the Town of Inlet for its own analysis.
