The water/sewer superintendent shall periodically notify new, existing, and potential users of the requirement to complete an industrial user survey form. Upon notification, users shall fully and accurately complete the survey form, and return the completed form to the water/sewer superintendent within 30 days of receipt. Each user shall maintain a copy of the latest completed survey form at their place of business. Failure to fully or accurately complete a survey form or to maintain the latest survey form on the premises where a wastewater discharge is occurring shall be a violation of this chapter.
(Ord. 1404 NS § 3.1, 2008)
A. 
No significant industrial user (SIU) shall discharge wastewater into the POTW without first obtaining a statement from the water/sewer superintendent that the POTW has the hydraulic and/or loading capacity to accept the discharge. Each SIU must also comply with the state requirements listed in CMC § 13.48.070, and in particular, apply for and receive a wastewater discharge permit from the Department, which authorizes the discharge. The water/sewer superintendent may require proof of application as a condition of new or continued discharge. Obtaining a wastewater discharge permit does not relieve an SIU of his/her obligation to comply with all federal and state pretreatment standards or requirements or with any other requirements of federal, state, and local regulation including the requirement for applying AKART.
B. 
The water/sewer superintendent may require other users, including liquid waste haulers, to apply for, and obtain, applicable wastewater discharge permits as necessary to carry out the purposes of this chapter.
C. 
The water/sewer superintendent may also establish, and require users by letter, permit, or rule, to implement those best management practices determined by the water/sewer superintendent to be representative of AKART, or to discontinue use of any substance for which an effective substitute is available which will either: (1) lessen the potential for violating this chapter or any water quality standard, or (2) may represent a significant decrease either singly, or in combination with other similar users, in the toxicity of pollutant loadings to the POTW.
D. 
The city of Colville encourages all users seeking authorization to discharge to the POTW to complete a pollution prevention review before submitting their request to discharge to the water/sewer superintendent. The city of Colville may require users who must submit a pollution prevention plan under the state's Hazardous Waste Reduction Act to provide this plan to the water/sewer superintendent as a condition of initial or continued discharge.
E. 
Whenever a moratorium has been imposed upon the POTW preventing the addition of new users, the water/sewer superintendent may require any or all users of the POTW to develop plans to reduce their discharges through water reuse, recycling, reclamation or other applicable management practices, and to implement such plans or other measures deemed appropriate by the water/sewer superintendent to preserve the availability of public sewage treatment services.
(Ord. 1404 NS § 3.2, 2008)
Users discharging a waste stream containing dangerous wastes as defined in Chapter 173-303 WAC and/or 40 CFR (listed, characteristic, or criteria wastes) are required to comply with the following permit provisions:
A. 
Obtain a written authorization to discharge the waste from the water/sewer superintendent, and either obtain specific authorization to discharge the waste in a state waste discharge permit issued by the Department, or accurately describe the waste stream in a temporary permit obtained pursuant to RCW 90.48.165. The description shall include at least:
1. 
The name of the dangerous waste as set forth in Chapter 173-303 WAC, and the dangerous waste number;
2. 
The mass of each constituent expected to be discharged;
3. 
The type of discharge (continuous, batch, or other).
B. 
Compliance shall be obtained on the following schedule:
1. 
Before discharge for new users;
2. 
Within 30 days after becoming aware of a discharge of dangerous wastes to the POTW for existing users; and
3. 
Within 90 days after final rules identifying additional dangerous wastes or new characteristics or criteria of dangerous waste are published for users discharging a newly listed dangerous waste.
