The Authority may, at its discretion, upon application in a
form prescribed by the Authority and upon payment of the sum of $5,800
for each dwelling, or its equivalent, to be served by this sewer extension,
approve the construction of any proposed extensions of said system
of sewers to be built at the expense of any owner of private property
and may take over the same when completed; and all such extensions,
when accepted and taken over, shall become part of said system of
sewers and shall thereafter be subject to all other provisions of
this chapter. The sewer extension rate may be adjusted from time to
time in accordance with municipal law.
Users shall provide necessary wastewater treatment as required
to comply with these regulations and shall achieve compliance with
all pretreatment standards or requirements. Any facilities required
to pretreat wastewater to a level acceptable to the City shall be
provided, operated and maintained at the user's expense. A pretreatment
facilities report containing detailed plans showing the pretreatment
facilities and detailed operating procedures shall be submitted to
the City for review and shall be acceptable to the City before construction
or operation of the facility. Any user currently operating that has
not submitted a pretreatment facilities report shall submit this report
to the City within 15 days of the City's request for this report.
The review of such plans and operating procedures will in no way relieve
the user from its responsibility of providing an effluent which complies
with all pretreatment standards or requirements. The user shall report
to the City any changes in its pretreatment facilities, method of
operation or nature or characteristics of the wastewater prior to
implementing such changes.
A. Recordkeeping requirements. All users shall retain all records relating
to compliance with pretreatment standards or requirements for a period
of at least three years and shall follow all requirements of 40 CFR
403.12(o). The period of retention shall be automatically extended
during the course of any unresolved dispute between the user and the
Department or when the Department so requests. Upon request, these
records shall immediately be made available to the City for inspection
and copying.
B. Duty to mitigate. The industrial user shall take all reasonable steps
to minimize or correct any adverse impact on the environment resulting
from noncompliance with any pretreatment standards or requirements,
including such accelerated or additional monitoring as is necessary
to determine the nature and impact of the noncomplying discharge.
The City shall publish, at least semiannually, in the daily
newspaper with the largest circulation a list of the users which were
not in compliance with any pretreatment standards or requirements
during the six previous months. The notification may also summarize
any enforcement actions taken against the user(s) during the same
six months.
All reports, including, but not limited to, baseline monitoring reports, reports on compliance with categorical pretreatment standards and periodic compliance reports, shall include the certification statement set forth in 40 CFR 403.6(a)(2)(ii) and which is found in §
81-14B of these regulations and Section IV(D) of the Permit Standard Conditions.
All reports, including, but not limited to, baseline monitoring
reports and periodic compliance reports, shall be signed by an authorized
representative of the user, as specified at 40 CFR 403.12(l).
