Users shall provide wastewater treatment as necessary to comply with this Part 5 and shall achieve compliance with all categorical pretreatment standards, local limits, and the prohibitions set out in Article XV of this Part 5 within the time limitations specified by the EPA, the state, or the control authority, 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 control authority for review and shall be acceptable to the control authority 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 control authority under the provisions of this Part 5.
A. 
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/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 Part 5.
B. 
The control authority may require any person discharging into the POTW to install and maintain, on its property and at its expense, a suitable storage and flow control facility to ensure equalization of flow. A wastewater discharge permit may be issued solely for flow equalization.
C. 
Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided by the user when, in the opinion of the control authority, 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 type and capacity approved by the control authority and shall be so located to be easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Such interceptors shall be inspected, cleaned, and repaired regularly, as needed, by the user at its expense.
D. 
users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter.
The control authority shall evaluate whether each significant industrial user needs an accidental discharge/slug control plan or other action to control slug discharges. The control authority may require any user to develop, submit for approval, and implement such a plan. Alternatively, the control authority may develop such a plan for any user. An accidental discharge/slug discharge control plan shall address, at a minimum, the following:
A. 
Description of discharge practices, including nonroutine batch discharges;
B. 
Description of stored chemicals;
C. 
Procedures for immediately notifying the control authority of any accidental or slug discharge, as required by this Part 5; and
D. 
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.
The Lower Perkiomen Valley Regional Sewer Authority does not accept septic tank waste or industrial waste from haulers or RCRA hazardous wastes.
