[Ord. No. 1244, 12-7-2015; Ord. No. 1333, 12-19-2022]
Users shall provide wastewater treatment as necessary to comply with this Chapter and shall achieve compliance with all categorical pretreatment standards, local limits and the prohibitions set out in Section
711.050 of this Chapter within the time limitations specified by EPA, the State, or the Program Administrator, 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 Superintendent for review, and shall be acceptable to the Program Administrator 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 City under the provisions of this Chapter.
[Ord. No. 1244, 12-7-2015; Ord. No. 1333, 12-19-2022]
A. Whenever deemed necessary, the Program Administrator 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 waste streams
from industrial waste streams, and such other conditions as may be
necessary to protect the POTW and determine the user's compliance
with the requirements of this Chapter.
B. The Program Administrator 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 interceptors shall be provided when, in the
opinion of the Program Administrator, 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 Program Administrator and shall be so located
to be easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Such interceptions
shall be inspected, cleaned, and repaired 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.
[Ord. No. 1244, 12-7-2015; Ord. No. 1333, 12-19-2022]
A. The Program Administrator shall evaluate whether each SIU needs an
accidental discharge/slug discharge control plan or other action to
control slug discharges. The Program Administrator 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 Program Administrator may develop such a plan for
any user. An accidental discharge/slug discharge control plan shall
address, at a minimum, the following:
1.
Description of discharge practices, including non-routine batch
discharges;
2.
Description of stored chemicals;
3.
Procedures for immediately notifying the Program Administrator of any accidental or slug discharge, as required by Section
711.340 of this Chapter; and
4.
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.
[Ord. No. 1244, 12-7-2015; Ord. No. 1333, 12-19-2022]
A. Septic tank waste may be introduced into the POTW only at locations designated by the Program Administrator, and at such times as are established by the Program Administrator. Such waste shall not violate Article
II of this Chapter or any other requirements established by the City. The Program Administrator may require septic tank waste haulers to obtain individual wastewater discharge permits.
B. The Program Administrator may require haulers of industrial waste
to obtain individual wastewater discharge permits. The Program Administrator
may require generators of hauled industrial waste to obtain individual
wastewater discharge permits. The Program Administrator also may prohibit
the disposal of hauled industrial waste. The discharge of hauled industrial
waste is subject to all other requirements of this Chapter.
C. Industrial waste haulers may discharge loads only at locations designated
by the Program Administrator. No load may be discharged without prior
consent of the Program Administrator. The Program Administrator may
collect samples of each hauled load to ensure compliance with applicable
standards. The Program Administrator may require the industrial waste
hauler to provide a waste analysis of any load prior to discharge.
D. Industrial 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 industry, known or suspected waste constituents, and confirm that no wastes are RCRA hazardous wastes (See Section
711.365).
