An individual wastewater discharge permit shall be issued for
a specified time period, not to exceed five years from the effective
date of the permit. An individual wastewater discharge permit may
be issued for a period less than five years, at the discretion of
the Pretreatment Coordinator. Each individual wastewater discharge
permit will indicate a specific date upon which it will expire.
An individual wastewater discharge permit shall include such
conditions as are deemed reasonably necessary by the Pretreatment
Coordinator to prevent pass through or interference, protect the quality
of the water body receiving the POTW Treatment Plant's effluent, protect
worker health and safety, facilitate sludge management and disposal,
and protect against damage to the POTW.
A. An individual wastewater discharge permit must contain:
(1) A statement that indicates the individual wastewater discharge permit
issuance date, expiration date, and effective date;
(2) A statement that the individual wastewater discharge permit is nontransferable without prior notification to the Pretreatment Coordinator in accordance with §
192-96 of this part, and provisions for furnishing the new owner or operator with a copy of the existing individual wastewater discharge permit;
(3) Effluent limits, including BMPs, based on applicable pretreatment
standards;
(4) Self monitoring, sampling, reporting, notification, and record-keeping
requirements. These requirements shall include an identification of
pollutants (or BMP) to be monitored, sampling location, sampling frequency,
and sample type based on federal, state, and local law;
(5) A statement of applicable civil and criminal penalties for violation
of pretreatment standards and requirements, and any applicable compliance
schedule. Such schedule may not extend the time for compliance beyond
that required by applicable federal, state, or local law; and
(6) Requirements to control slug discharge, if determined by the Pretreatment
Coordinator to be necessary.
B. Individual wastewater discharge permits may contain, but need not
be limited to, the following conditions:
(1) Limits on the average and/or maximum rate of discharge, time of discharge,
and/or requirements for flow regulation and equalization;
(2) Requirements for the installation of pretreatment technology, pollution
control, or construction of appropriate containment devices, designed
to reduce, eliminate, or prevent the introduction of pollutants into
the treatment works;
(3) Requirements for the development and implementation of spill control
plans or other special conditions including management practices necessary
to adequately prevent accidental, unanticipated, or nonroutine discharges;
(4) Development and implementation of waste minimization plans to reduce
the amount of pollutants discharged to the POTW;
(5) The unit charge or schedule of user charges and fees for the management
of the wastewater discharged to the POTW;
(6) Requirements for installation and maintenance of inspection and sampling
facilities and equipment, including flow measurement devices;
(7) A statement that compliance with the individual wastewater discharge
permit does not relieve the permittee of responsibility for compliance
with all applicable federal and state pretreatment standards, including
those which become effective during the term of the individual wastewater
discharge permit; and
(8) Other conditions as deemed appropriate by the Pretreatment Coordinator
to ensure compliance with this part, and state and federal laws, rules,
and regulations.
The Pretreatment Coordinator may modify an individual wastewater
discharge permit for good cause, including, but not limited to, the
following reasons:
A. To incorporate any new or revised federal, state, or local pretreatment
standards or requirements;
B. To address significant alterations or additions to the user's operation,
processes, or wastewater volume or character since the time of the
individual wastewater discharge permit issuance;
C. A change in the POTW that requires either a temporary or permanent
reduction or elimination of the authorized discharge;
D. Information indicating that the permitted discharge poses a threat
to the Borough's POTW, Borough personnel, or the receiving waters;
E. Misrepresentations or failure to fully disclose all relevant facts
in the individual wastewater discharge permit application or in any
required reporting;
F. Revision of or a grant of variance from categorical pretreatment
standards pursuant to 40 CFR 403.13;
G. To correct typographical or other errors in the individual wastewater
discharge permit;
H. To reflect a transfer of the facility ownership or operation to a new owner or operator where requested in accordance with §
192-96 of this part; or
I. Violation of any terms or conditions of the individual wastewater
discharge permit;
J. Upon request of the user, provided such modification does not violate
any applicable federal, state, or local pretreatment standards or
requirements, and that the Pretreatment Coordinator agrees to the
modification.
A user with an expiring individual wastewater discharge permit shall apply for an individual wastewater discharge permit reissuance by submitting a complete permit application, in accordance with §
192-89 of this part, a minimum of 180 calendar days prior to the expiration of the user's existing individual wastewater discharge permit.
