A. 
As a means of determining compliance with this chapter, with applicable POTW discharge 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. Unless otherwise required in this chapter, all information shall be furnished by the user in complete cooperation with the Superintendent within 30 days of the request.
A. 
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 Act, as amended, and Subtitles C and D of RCRA, as amended.
A. 
No significant industrial user shall discharge wastewater to the POTW without having a valid wastewater discharge permit, issued by the Superintendent. Significant industrial users shall comply fully with the terms and conditions of their permits in addition to the provisions of this chapter.
B. 
The Superintendent may require other users to obtain individual wastewater discharge permits as necessary to carry out the purposes of this chapter.
C. 
Any violation of the terms and conditions of an individual wastewater discharge permit shall be deemed a violation of this chapter and subjects the wastewater discharge permittee to the sanctions set out in Article XVII through Article XIX of this chapter. Obtaining an individual wastewater discharge permit does not relieve a permittee of its obligation to comply with all federal and state pretreatment standards or requirements or with any other requirements of federal, state, and local law.
A. 
Any user required to obtain an individual wastewater discharge permit in accordance with § 125-91 who was discharging wastewater into the POTW prior to the effective date of this chapter and who wishes to continue such discharges in the future, shall, within 30 days after said date, apply to the Superintendent for an individual wastewater discharge permit in accordance with § 125-95, and shall not cause or allow discharges to the POTW to continue after 90 days of the effective date of this chapter except in accordance with an individual wastewater discharge permit issued by the Superintendent.
A. 
Any user required to obtain an individual wastewater discharge permit in accordance with § 125-91 who proposes to begin or recommence discharging into the POTW must obtain such permit prior to the beginning or recommencing of such discharge. An application for this individual wastewater discharge permit, in accordance with § 125-95, must be filed at least 60 days prior to the date upon which any discharge will begin or recommence.
A. 
No Town shall have the authority to issue permits for the discharge of any wastewater to a storm sewer. This authority rests with the NYSDEC.
A. 
Any user required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit shall complete and file with the Superintendent an application in the form prescribed by the Town of Farmington; the application shall be accompanied by a fee, in accordance with the fee schedule as established by the Town of Farmington Board. In support of any application, the industrial user shall submit, in units and terms appropriate for evaluation, the following information:
(1)

(c) 
Site plans, floor plans, mechanical and plumbing plans, and details to show all sewers, sewer connections, and appurtenances.

(7) 
Measurement of pollutants:
(a) 
The categorical pretreatment standards applicable to each regulated process and any new categorically regulated processes for existing sources.
(b) 
The results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration, and/or mass, where required by the standard or by the Superintendent, of regulated pollutants in the discharge from each regulated process.
(c) 
Instantaneous, daily maximum, and long-term average concentrations, or mass, where required.
(d) 
The sample shall be representative of daily operations and shall be analyzed in accordance with procedures set out in § 125-118.

(c) 
No later than 14 calendar days following each date in the schedule and the final date for compliance, the user shall submit a progress report to the Superintendent including, as a minimum, whether or not it complied with the increment of progress to be met on such date and, if not, the date on which it expects to comply with this increment of progress, the reason for delay, and the steps being taken by the user to return to the established schedule. In no event shall more than nine months elapse between such progress reports to the Superintendent.

Any other information as may deemed by the Superintendent to be necessary to evaluate the permit application.
B. 
The Superintendent will evaluate the data furnished by the industrial user and may require additional information.

A. 
The Superintendent will evaluate the data furnished by the user and may require additional information. Upon receipt of a complete permit application, and any additional information, the Superintendent will determine whether to issue an individual wastewater discharge permit. The Superintendent may deny any application for a wastewater discharge permit for good cause.
