Users shall provide wastewater treatment as necessary to comply with this Part 1 and shall achieve compliance with all categorical pretreatment standards, local limits, and the prohibitions set out in § 187-5 of this Part 1 within the time limitations specified by the EPA, the state, or the POTW-TP, 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 POTW-TP and to the MTMSA for review, and shall be acceptable to the POTW-TP and the MTMSA 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 POTW-TP and the MTMSA under the provisions of this Part 1.
A. 
Whenever deemed necessary, the POTW-TP 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 1.
B. 
The POTW-TP may require any person discharging into the POTW to install and maintain, on their property and at their 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 when, in the opinion of the POTW-TP or the MTMSA, 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 unless a residential user who is contributing excessive amounts of grease, oil, or sand has first been given the opportunity to reduce the discharge by other means. All interception units shall be of a type and capacity approved by the POTW-TP and/or the MTMSA 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, in accordance with any procedure for the installation and maintenance of grease traps as may be established from time to time by the POTW-TP and/or MTMSA.
D. 
Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter.
[Amended 2-13-2012 by Ord. No. 12-255]
Within one year of a user being designated as an SIU and at least every two years thereafter, the POTW-TP or MTMSA shall evaluate whether each SIU needs an accidental discharge/slug discharge control plan or other action to control slug discharges. All users are required to notify the POTW-TP or MTMSA immediately of any changes in their facilities affecting the potential for an accidental discharge and/or slug discharge to the POTW. The POTW-TP or the MTMSA may require any user to develop, submit for approval and implement such a plan or take such other action that may be necessary to control slug discharges. Alternatively, the POTW-TP or the MTMSA 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 POTW-TP and the MTMSA of any accidental or slug discharge, as required by § 187-35 of this Part 1; 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.
A. 
Septic tank wastewater may be introduced into the POTW only at locations designated by the POTW-TP or MTMSA, and at such times as are established by the POTW-TP or MTMSA. Such wastewater shall not violate Article II of this Part 1 or any other requirements established by the POTW-TP or MTMSA. The POTW-TP or MTMSA may require septic tank wastewater haulers to obtain wastewater discharge permits. The POTW-TP and/or MTMSA may collect samples of each hauled load to ensure compliance with applicable standards.
B. 
The POTW-TP or MTMSA may require haulers of industrial wastewater to obtain wastewater discharge permits. The POTW-TP or MTMSA may require generators of hauled industrial wastewater to obtain wastewater discharge permits and/or to provide a disclosure affidavit as to the nature of the wastewater. The POTW-TP or MTMSA also may prohibit the disposal of hauled industrial wastewater. The discharge of hauled industrial wastewater is subject to all other requirements of this Part 1.
C. 
Industrial wastewater haulers may discharge loads only at locations designated by the POTW-TP or MTMSA. No load may be discharged without prior consent of the POTW-TP or MTMSA. The POTW-TP or MTMSA may collect samples of each hauled load to ensure compliance with applicable standards. The POTW-TP or MTMSA may require the industrial wastewater generator and/or hauler to provide a wastewater analysis of any load prior to discharge.
D. 
Industrial wastewater haulers must provide a wastewater-tracking form for every load. This form shall include, at a minimum, the name and address of the industrial wastewater hauler, permit number, truck identification, names and addresses of sources of wastewater, and volume and characteristics of wastewater. The form shall identify the type of industry, known or suspected waste constituents, and whether any wastes are RCRA hazardous wastes.
E. 
MTMSA and/or the POTW-TP may require each industrial wastewater hauler to post a bond indemnifying MTMSA and/or the POTW-TP, their consultants, employees and agents from any damages the industrial wastewater hauler's wastewater may cause to the POTW, POTW-TP, employees, third parties and the environment. Should the wastewater contaminate other waste or wastewater, the industrial wastewater hauler shall be responsible for the complete removal and disposal of such contaminated waste or wastewater at his expense.
