[Ord. No. 1840, 12-15-2025]
A. 
Users shall provide Wastewater treatment as necessary to comply with these Regulations and shall achieve compliance with all Pretreatment Standards and/or Requirements established in Control Mechanisms within the time limitations specified by EPA, the State, or Control Authority, whichever is more stringent.
B. 
Any facilities necessary for compliance shall be provided, operated, and maintained at the User's expense. The Control Authority may require minimum standards for Pretreatment facilities, including, but not limited to, flow monitoring and compliance monitoring station(s).
C. 
Detailed plans describing such facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the Control Authority for review, and shall be acceptable to the Control Authority before such facilities are constructed.

D. 
Whenever deemed necessary, the Control Authority may require Users to restrict their Discharge during peak flow periods, designate that certain Wastewater be discharged only into specific sewers, relocate and consolidate points of Discharge, separate Non-Domestic Wastewater from other sources of Wastewater, and such other conditions as may be necessary to protect the POTW and determine the User's compliance with the requirements of these Regulations.
E. 
The Control Authority may require any User discharging into the POTW to install and maintain a suitable storage and flow control to ensure equalization of discharges. A Control Mechanism may be issued solely for flow or pollutant equalization.
F. 
Oil and Grease discharges and sediment shall be controlled by appropriate devices.
1. 
The Control Authority may develop and implement a fats, oil, and grease (FOG) Management Program or other Management Plan to regulate interceptors from domestic and non-domestic sources.
2. 
Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be designed based on facility operations and anticipated characteristics of the discharge and installed as required by the Control Authority, local Building Codes, or local Plumbing Codes.
3. 
All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Control Authority, local Building Codes, and local Plumbing Codes and shall be so located to be easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
4. 
Such interceptors shall be inspected, maintained, cleaned, and repaired to ensure proper operation.
5. 
Interceptors may be inspected by the Control Authority or other regulatory agencies to evaluate the performance of the device.
6. 
The Control Authority may establish specific required frequencies for any or all of the above activities.
7. 
No use of chemicals, enzymes, or other substances that emulsify Oil and Grease shall be introduced to the POTW unless otherwise approved by the Control Authority.
G. 
Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter at a location designated by the Control Authority.
H. 
Users with the potential to discharge hydrogen sulfide gas may be required to install and maintain H2S atmospheric gas detectors at a location designated by the Control Authority.
[Ord. No. 1840, 12-15-2025]
A. 
All Users shall adequately protect against Slug Discharges.
B. 
The Control Authority shall evaluate whether an Industrial User needs a Slug Discharge Control Plan including specific BMPs to control Slug Discharges.
C. 
The Control Authority may require any Industrial User to develop, submit for approval, and implement such a plan or take other action that may be necessary to control Slug Discharges.
Alternatively, the Control Authority may develop such a plan for any Industrial User.
D. 
A 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 (i.e., without delay) notifying the Control Authority of Slug Discharges. An initial notification report is required under Article V, Section 710.590(B).
4. 
Procedures for follow-up written notification within five (5) days after an accidental Discharge with the components required under Article V, Section 710.590(C).
5. 
Procedures to prevent adverse impact from any accidental or Slug Discharge including:
a. 
Equalization measures.
b. 
Management of periodic operational or maintenance activities.
c. 
Inspection and maintenance of storage areas.
d. 
Handling and transfer of materials.
e. 
Loading and unloading operations.
f. 
Control of plant site runoff.
g. 
Worker training.
h. 
Discharges from containment structures or equipment.
i. 
Measures for containing toxic organic Pollutants or other Pollutants.
j. 
Measures and equipment for emergency response.
E. 
Significant Industrial Users, or any other Users with a SDCP requirement in a Control Mechanism, are required to notify the Control Authority immediately (i.e., without delay) of any changes at its facility affecting the potential for a Slug Discharge.
F. 
The Slug Discharge Control Plan shall be updated to adequately document BMPs in place to minimize the risk of incidents requiring reporting per Article V, Section 710.590.
[Ord. No. 1840, 12-15-2025]
A. 
Users shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate non-compliance with any Pretreatment Standard or Requirement.
B. 
Upon identification of an impact to the POTW or the environment including events such as loss or failure of all or part of the treatment facility, the User shall, to the extent necessary to maintain compliance with its permit, control its production or discharges (or both) until operation of the treatment facility if restored or an alternative method of treatment is provided.
C. 
Response from the User may require accelerated or additional monitoring as necessary to determine the nature and impact of the non-compliance.
[Ord. No. 1840, 12-15-2025]
A. 
In the event that a User does not adequately comply with Pretreatment Standards and Requirements including Categorical Pretreatment Standards, a Compliance Schedule may be proposed by the User or required by the Control Authority.
B. 
For compliance with Categorical Pretreatment Standards, a Compliance Schedule may be required by Article IV, Section 710.460(A)(7).
C. 
The following requirements shall be met when implementing Compliance Schedules:
1. 
The schedule shall contain compliance milestones in the form of dates for the commencement and completion of major events leading to the construction and operation of additional Pretreatment required for the User to meet the applicable Pretreatment Standards (e.g., hiring an engineer, completing preliminary plans, completing final plans, executing contract for major components, commencing construction, completing construction, etc.).
2. 
No compliance milestone increment referred to in Article III, Section 710.370(C)(1) shall exceed nine (9) months; in no event shall more than nine (9) months elapse between compliance milestone progress reports to the Control Authority.
3. 
Compliance milestone progress reports shall be submitted to the Control Authority by the User no later than fourteen (14) days following each date in the schedule and the final date of compliance, including, as a minimum, whether or not it complied with the increment of progress, if not, the date on which it expects to comply with this increment of progress, the reason for delay, and, if appropriate, the steps being taken by the User to return to the established schedule;
4. 
The Control Authority may modify the timeline, the required corrective actions, or both based on the following:
a. 
Interim measures identified and implemented.
b. 
Consideration for capital expenditures.

The Control Authority may require waste haulers to provide requested information related to the hauled waste discharges and may require waste haulers or generators of waste to obtain a Control Mechanism.
E. 
The Control Authority may require the waste hauler to provide a waste analysis of any load prior to Discharge, and the Control Authority may collect samples of any load to ensure compliance with applicable Standards.
F. 
Hauled waste shall not meet the definition of a hazardous waste prior to mixing with other wastestreams pursuant to 40 CFR 261, if otherwise disposed.
