It shall be unlawful to discharge without a permit to any natural outlet within Unity Township, or in any area under the jurisdiction of said Unity Township, and/or to the POTW any wastewater except as authorized by Unity Township or THTMA in accordance with the provisions of this ordinance. This prohibition is an addition to those prohibitions contained in the existing regulations of the UTMA as codified in Chapter
96 of the Code of Ordinances of Unity Township.
THTMA shall sample the discharge and inspect the facilities of any industrial user a minimum of two times per year to ascertain whether the purpose of this Part
3 is being met and all requirements are being complied with. Owners and occupants of premises where wastewater is created or discharged shall allow THTMA or its representative ready access at all reasonable times to all parts of the premises for inspection, sampling, records examination or in the performance of any of their duties. The EPA shall have the right to set up on the industrial user's property such devices as are necessary to conduct sampling, inspection, compliance monitoring and/or metering operations. Where an industrial user has security measures in force which would require proper identification and clearance before entry into its premises, the industrial user shall make necessary arrangements with their security guards so that, upon presentation of appropriate identification, personnel from THTMA, the approval authority and the EPA will be permitted to enter, without delay, for the purposes of performing their duties.
The industrial user shall comply with the hazardous waste notification
requirements established below:
A. The industrial user shall notify the POTW, the EPA Regional Waste Management Division Director, UTMA and state hazardous waste authorities, in writing, of any discharge into the POTW of a substance which, if otherwise disposed, would be a hazardous waste under 40 CFR 261. Such notification must include the name of the hazardous waste as set forth in 40 CFR 261, the EPA hazardous waste number and the type of discharge (continuous, batch or other). If the industrial user discharges more than 100 kilograms of such waste per calendar month to the POTW, the notification shall also contain the month to the POTW. The notification shall also contain the following information to the extent such information is known and readily available to the industrial user: an identification of the hazardous constituents contained in the wastes, an estimation of the mass and concentration of such constituents in the wastestream discharged during that calendar month and an estimation of the mass of constituents in the wastestream expected to be discharged during the following 12 months. All notifications must occur within 180 days of the effective date of 40 CFR 403. Industrial users who commence discharging after the effective date of 40 CFR 403 shall provide the notification no later than 180 days after the discharge of the listed or characteristic hazardous waste. Any notification under this subsection need be submitted only once for each hazardous waste discharged. However, notification of changed discharges must be submitted under §
96-60I of this Part
3. The notification requirement in this section does not apply to pollutants already reported under the self-monitoring requirements of §
96-61 of this Part
3.
B. Dischargers are exempt from the requirements of Subsection
A during a calendar month in which they discharge no more than 15 kilograms of hazardous wastes, unless the wastes are acute hazardous wastes as specified in 40 CFR 261.30(d) and 261.30(e). Discharge of more than 15 kilograms of nonacute hazardous wastes as specified in 40 CFR 261.30(d) and 261.30(e) requires a one-time notification. Subsequent months during which the industrial user discharges more than such quantities of any hazardous waste do not require additional notification.
C. In the case of any new regulations under Section 3001 of RCRA identifying
additional characteristics of hazardous waste or listing any additional
substance as a hazardous waste, the industrial user must notify the
POTW, the EPA Regional Waste Management Waste Division Director, UTMA
and state hazardous waste authorities of the discharge of such substance
within 90 days of the effective date of such regulations.
D. In the case of any notification made under §
96-65 of this Part
3, the industrial user shall certify that it has a program in place to reduce the volume and toxicity of hazardous wastes generated to the degree it has determined to be economically practical.
