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

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.
(10)
Each product produced by type, amount, process
or processes and rate of production.
(11)
The type and amount of raw materials processed
(average and maximum) per day.
(12)

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.
A.

C.
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.

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. The terms and conditions of the permit may be subject to modification by the Village at the time of renewal or during the term of the permit as limitations or requirements as identified in Article VII are modified or other just cause exists. The user shall be informed of any proposed changes in his permit at least 30 days prior to the effective date of change. 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.
