[Ord. 2012-02, 7/5/2012, § 4.1]
When requested by the owner, a user must submit information
on the nature and characteristics of its wastewater within 30 days
of the request or within such other time period as may be requested
by the owner. The owner is authorized to prepare a form for this purpose
and may periodically require users to update this information.
[Ord. 2012-02, 7/5/2012, § 4.2]
1.
No significant industrial user shall discharge wastewater into the POTW without first obtaining a wastewater discharge permit from the owner, except that a significant industrial user that has filed a timely application pursuant to § 18-518 of this Part may continue to discharge for the time period specified therein.
2.
The owner may require other users to obtain wastewater discharge
permits as necessary to carry out the purposes of this Part.
3.
Any violation of the terms and conditions of a wastewater discharge
permit shall be deemed a violation of this Part and subjects the wastewater
discharge permittee to the sanctions set out in Subparts I through
L of this Part. Obtaining a wastewater discharge permit does not relieve
a permittee of its obligation to comply with all federal, state and
local pretreatment standards or requirements or with any other requirements
of federal, state, and local law.
[Ord. 2012-02, 7/5/2012, § 4.3]
Any user required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit who was discharging wastewater into the POTW prior to the effective date of this Part and who wishes to continue such discharges in the future, shall, within 90 days after said date, apply to the owner for a wastewater discharge permit in accordance with § 18-521 of this Part, and shall not cause or allow discharges to the POTW to continue after 180 days of the effective date of this Part without a wastewater discharge permit issued by the owner. If a permit is not issued within the 180 days, the permit is considered to have been denied unless a modification of the one-hundred-eighty-day period is obtained from the owner.
[Ord. 2012-02, 7/5/2012, § 4.4]
Any user required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit who proposes to begin or recommence discharging into the POTW after the effective date of this Part must obtain such permit prior to the beginning or recommencing of such discharge. A complete application for this wastewater discharge permit, in accordance with § 18-521 of this Part, must be filed at least 90 days prior to the date upon which any discharge will begin or recommence.
[Ord. 2012-02, 7/5/2012, § 4.5]
Any user who is required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit
due to the promulgation of a new categorical pretreatment standard,
or upon the discharger being newly identified as a significant industrial
user, either of which arise after the enactment of this Part, shall,
within 90 days after the promulgation of a new categorical pretreatment
standard, or after the discharger is identified as a significant industrial
user, apply to the owner for a wastewater discharge permit in accordance
with this section of this Part, and shall not cause or allow discharges
to the POTW to continue after 180 days of the date the user was notified
of the need to make application for a permit to discharge, without
a wastewater discharge permit issued by the owner. If a permit is
not issued within the 180 days, the permit is considered to have been
denied unless a modification of the one-hundred-eighty-day period
is obtained from the owner.
