It shall be unlawful to discharge any industrial wastes or wastewater to the POTW without an industrial wastewater discharge permit.

B. 
To apply for an industrial wastewater discharge permit, industrial users shall complete and file with the Village an application and fee as prescribed by the Village. Existing industrial users shall apply for an industrial wastewater discharge permit within 60 days after the effective date of this chapter; proposed new users shall apply at least 90 days prior to the proposed date of connection to or contribution to the POTW. In support of the application, the users shall submit, in units and terms appropriate for evaluation as specified by the Village and Village Board, the following information:

Where known, the nature and concentration of any pollutants in the discharge which are limited by any city, state or federal pretreatment standards and a statement regarding whether or not the pretreatment standards are or would be met on a consistent basis and, if not, whether additional O&M and/or additional pretreatment is required for the user to meet applicable pretreatment standards.
(9) 
If additional pretreatment and/or O&M will be required to meet the pretreatment standards, the shortest schedule by which the user will provide such additional pretreatment. The completion date in this schedule shall not be later than the compliance date established for the applicable pretreatment standard.

The Village and Board will evaluate the data furnished by the user and may require additional information. After acceptance and evaluation of the data submitted, the Village and Board shall make a recommendation to the Board regarding whether the permit should be granted. If the Village and Board recommend that the permit be issued and a majority of the Board votes to grant the permit, the Board shall instruct the Village and Board to issue the permit to the applicant subject to the terms and conditions which the Village and Board determine are necessary to comply with the terms and policies of this chapter. If either the Village and Board or more than a minority of the Board feel that the permit should not be issued, the Board shall not direct the Village and Board to issue the permit.
D. 
If, in the opinion of the Village and Board, the applicant for an industrial wastewater discharge permit would be unable to comply with the terms and policies of this chapter or with the conditions which the Village and Board determined would be required in the permit were it to be issued, the Village and Board shall recommend to the Board that a permit not be issued. In this event the applicant shall have the right to appeal such decision to the Board at the next public meeting of the Board held no sooner than 30 days after the receipt by the City Clerk of a written statement from the applicant setting forth the applicant's intention to appeal. If, at that meeting of the Board, a majority of the total voting membership of the Board votes to grant the permit, the decision of the Superintendent shall be overruled, and the Superintendent shall issue the permit to the applicant. The Board may vote to overrule the Superintendent only if it determines that the terms and policies of this chapter will not be violated by the applicant's proposed contribution(s) to the POTW.

No permittee shall increase the quantity of its discharge into the POTW above the amounts set forth in its permit application and permit or contribute any pollutants other than those set forth in its permit application and permit or otherwise deviate from the terms of said permit without applying for and securing a supplemental industrial wastewater discharge permit which allows such increase in quantity or changing quality of the user's discharge into the POTW or other permit modification, as the case may be. The procedures for applying for and receiving such a supplemental permit and the conditions, contents, duration, transferability and all other relevant provisions regarding said supplemental permit shall be the same as set forth in this chapter regarding original industrial wastewater discharge permits.
Permits shall be issued for a specific time period, at the discretion of the Village, not to exceed five years. A permit may be issued for a period less than a year or may be stated to expire on a specific date. The user shall apply for permit reissuance a minimum of 180 days prior to the expiration of the user's existing permit.

Any changes or new conditions in the permit shall include a reasonable time schedule for compliance.
Industrial wastewater discharge permits are issued to a specific industrial user for a specific operation and shall not be assigned or transferred or sold to a new owner or user, different premises or a new or changed operation without the approval of the Village after a hearing at which the Village examines the applicability of the transfer of the permit to the transferee's processes, discharges, etc., in light of the regulations set forth in this chapter. Any succeeding owner or use shall also comply with the terms and conditions of the existing permit.
