Users shall provide wastewater treatment as necessary to comply with this part and shall achieve compliance with all categorical pretreatment standards, local limits, and the prohibitions set out in Article XI of this part within the time limitations specified by EPA, the state, or the Borough, 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 Pretreatment Coordinator for review, and shall be acceptable to the Pretreatment Coordinator 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 Pretreatment Coordinator under the provisions of this part.
A. 
Whenever deemed necessary, the Pretreatment Coordinator may require users to restrict their discharge during peak flow periods, designate that certain wastewater be discharged only into specific sewers, relocate and/or consolidate points of discharge, separate sewage wastestreams from industrial wastestreams, and such other conditions as may be necessary to protect the POTW and determine the user's compliance with the requirements of this part.
B. 
The Pretreatment Coordinator may require any person discharging into the POTW to install and maintain, on their property and at their expense, a suitable storage and flow-control facility to ensure equalization of flow. An individual wastewater discharge permit may be issued solely for flow equalization.
C. 
Grease, oil, and sand trap/interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the Pretreatment Coordinator, they are necessary for the proper handling of wastewater containing excessive amounts of grease and oil, or sand; except that such interceptors shall not be required for residential users. All interception units shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Pretreatment Coordinator, shall comply with this part and shall be so located to be easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Such interceptors shall be inspected, cleaned regularly, and repaired as needed by the user at their expense.
D. 
Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter.
The Pretreatment Coordinator shall evaluate whether each SIU needs an accidental discharge/slug discharge control plan or other action to control slug discharges. The Pretreatment Coordinator 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 Pretreatment Coordinator 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 Chief Operator of the POTW treatment plant of any accidental or slug discharge, as required by § 192-105 of this part; 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.
A. 
Septic tank waste may be introduced into the POTW only at locations designated by the Pretreatment Coordinator, and at such times as are established by the Pretreatment Coordinator. Such waste shall not violate § 192-73 of this part or any other requirements established by the Pretreatment Coordinator. The Pretreatment Coordinator may require septic tank waste haulers to obtain individual wastewater discharge permits.
B. 
The Pretreatment Coordinator may require haulers of industrial waste to obtain individual wastewater discharge permits. The Pretreatment Coordinator may require generators of hauled industrial waste to obtain individual wastewater discharge permits. The Pretreatment Coordinator also may prohibit the disposal of hauled industrial waste. The discharge of hauled industrial waste is subject to all other requirements of this part.
C. 
Industrial waste haulers may discharge loads only at locations designated by the Pretreatment Coordinator. No load may be discharged without prior consent of the Pretreatment Coordinator. The Pretreatment Coordinator may collect samples of each hauled load to ensure compliance with applicable standards. The Pretreatment Coordinator may require the industrial waste hauler to provide a waste analysis of any load prior to discharge.
D. 
All waste haulers must provide a waste-tracking form for every load. This form shall include, at a minimum, the name and address of the industrial waste hauler, permit number, truck identification, names and addresses of sources of waste, and volume and characteristics of waste. The form shall identify the type of waste, known or suspected waste constituents, and whether any wastes are RCRA hazardous wastes.
E. 
The Pretreatment Coordinator may establish additional means of control and may set rates, frequency, volume or other controls on the discharges from such trucked or hauled vehicles.
Discharge of filter backwash water to the POTW shall be regulated as follows:
A. 
Granular media filter backwash water may be discharged to the POTW, subject to all of the applicable provisions of this part.
B. 
Diatomaceous earth filter backwash, if discharged to the POTW, shall be connected to the POTW through settling tanks with no less than three months storage capacity of spent diatomaceous earth, which tanks shall be accessible for removing solid waste for disposal.
The use of mechanical garbage grinders producing a finely divided mass, properly flushed with an ample amount of water, shall be permitted, upon the condition that no such mechanical garbage grinder used for commercial or business purposes shall be installed until permission for such use has been obtained from the Pretreatment Coordinator.
