A.
This Chapter shall apply to all industrial users of the Publicly
Owned Treatment Works, and sets forth uniform requirements for industrial
users of the Publicly Owned Treatment Works for the City of Maryville
and enables the City of Maryville to comply with all applicable State
and Federal laws, including the Clean Water Act (33 United States
Code Section 1251, et. seq.) and the General Pretreatment Regulations
(40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 403). The objectives of this
Chapter are:

To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the Publicly
Owned Treatment Works that will interfere with its operation;
2.
To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the Publicly
Owned Treatment Works that will pass through the Publicly Owned Treatment
Works, inadequately treated, into receiving water, or otherwise be
incompatible with the Publicly Owned Treatment Works;
3.
To protect both Publicly Owned Treatment Works personnel, who
may be affected by wastewater and sludge in the course of their employment,
as well as the general public;
4.
To promote reuse and recycling of industrial wastewater and
sludge from the Publicly Owned Treatment Works;
5.
To provide for fees for the equitable distribution of the cost
of operation, maintenance, and improvement of the Publicly Owned Treatment
Works; and
6.
To enable the City of Maryville to comply with its National
Discharge Elimination System permit conditions, sludge use and disposal
requirements, and any other Federal or State laws to which the Publicly
Owned Treatment Works is subject.

the Regional Water Management Division Director, or other duly authorized
official of the agency.

A discharge, which alone or in conjunction with a discharge
from other sources, inhibits or disrupts the POTW, its treatment processes
or operations or its sludge processes, use or disposal; and, is a
cause of a violation of the City of Maryville's NPDES permit
or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in compliance with any of
the following statutory/regulatory provisions or permits issued thereunder,
or any more stringent State or local regulations:
|
Section 405 of the Act; the Solid Waste Disposal Act, including
Title II commonly referred to as the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA); and State regulations contained in any State sludge management
plan prepared pursuant to Subtitle D of the Solid Waste Disposal Act;
the Clean Air Act; the Toxic Substances Control Act; and the Marine

standards are thereafter promulgated in accordance with that Section,
provided that:
The building, structure, facility, or installation is constructed
at a site at which no other source is located; or

the process or production equipment that causes the discharge of pollutants
at an existing source; or
The production or wastewater generating processes of the building,
structure, facility, or installation are substantially independent
of an existing source at the same site. In determining whether these
are substantially independent, factors such as the extent to which
the new facility is integrated with the existing plant, and the extent
to which the new facility is engaged in the same general type of activity
as the existing source should be considered.
Construction on a site at which an existing source is located results in a modification rather that a new source if the construction does not create a new building, structure, facility, or installation meeting the criteria of Subsection (1)(b) or (c) above but otherwise alters, replaces, or adds to the existing process or production equipment.
Construction of a new source as defined under this Subsection
has commenced if the owner or operator has:
Begun, or caused to begin, as part of a continuous on-site construction
program:

or removal of existing buildings, structures, or facilities which
is necessary for the placement, assembly, or installation of new source
facilities or equipment; or
Entered into a binding contractual obligation for the purchase
of facilities or equipment which are intended to be used in its operations
within a reasonable time. Options to purchase or contracts which can
be terminated or modified without substantial loss, and contracts
for feasibility, engineering, and design studies do not constitute
a contractual obligation under this paragraph.

or discarded equipment, rock, sand, cellar dirt, municipal, agriculture
and industrial wastes, and certain characteristics of wastewater (e.g.,
p.H., temperature, TSS, turbidity, color, BOD, COD, toxicity, or odor).
The reduction of the amount of pollutants, the eliminations
of pollutants, or the alteration of the nature of pollutant properties
in wastewater prior to, or in lieu of, introducing such pollutants
into the POTW. This reduction or alteration can be obtained by physical,
chemical, or biological processes; by process changes; or by other
means, except by diluting the concentration of the pollutants unless
allowed by an applicable pretreatment standard.
Any substantive or procedural requirement related to pretreatment
imposed on a user, other than a pretreatment standard.

standards, and local limits.

more of process wastewater to the POTW (excluding sanitary, non-contact
cooling, and boiler blowdown wastewater);
Contributes a process waste stream which makes up five percent
(5%) or more of the average dry weather hydraulic or organic capacity
of the POTW treatment plant; or
Is designated as such by the City of Maryville on the basis
that it has a reasonable potential for adversely affecting the POTW's
operations or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement.
Upon finding that a user meeting the criteria in Subsection (2) has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the POTW's operations or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, the City of Maryville may at any time, on its own initiative or in response to a petition received from a user, and in accordance with procedures in 40 CFR 403.8(f)(6), determine that such user should not be considered a significant industrial user.
