A.Â
This Part 1 provides for the regulation of the public wastewater collection and treatment system operated by the Montgomery Township Municipal Sewer Authority ("MTMSA") and, inter alia, sets forth uniform requirements for direct and indirect contributions of wastewater within the jurisdiction of Montgomery Township which is ultimately discharged to the publicly owned treatment works' ("POTW") treatment plants ("POTW-TP") specified below. Montgomery Township is responsible for enforcement of this Part 1, but MTMSA, the POTW-TPs and the municipalities primarily responsible for any POTW-TP share the duty to enforce this Part 1 to the extent necessary to assure compliance with the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 U.S.C. § 1251 et seq. and the General Pretreatment Regulations (40 CFR 403), along with all applicable state and federal laws and permits. No POTW-TP or municipality responsible for a POTW-TP shall have any jurisdiction or authority to enforce this or any ordinance as they might relate to contributors whose discharge does not enter its own POTW-TP.
B.Â
The objectives of this Part 1 are to:
(1)Â
Prevent the introduction of pollutants into the wastewater system
which will interfere with the operation of the system or contaminate
the resulting sludge at the POTW-TP;
(2)Â
Prevent the introduction of pollutants into the wastewater system
that will pass through the system, inadequately treated, into receiving
waters, or otherwise be incompatible with the system;
(3)Â
Protect both POTW personnel who may be affected by wastewater and
sludge in the course of their employment and the general public;
(4)Â
Improve the opportunity to reuse and recycle wastewaters and sludge
from the wastewater system;
(5)Â
Provide for fees for the equitable distribution of the cost of operation,
maintenance, and improvement of the wastewater system; and
(6)Â
Enable POTW-TP permittees to comply with their National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System permit conditions, sludge use and disposal
requirements, and any other federal or state laws to which the POTW
is subject; and to empower the POTW-TP to enforce penalties against
violators as required by its Enforcement Response Guide and by federal
and state laws.
C.Â
This Part 1 shall apply to all users of the wastewater system. This
Part 1 authorizes the issuance of wastewater discharge permits; provides
for monitoring, compliance, and enforcement activities; establishes
administrative review procedures; requires user reporting; and provides
for the setting of fees for the equitable distribution of costs resulting
from the program established herein.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the MTMSA Manager shall
administer, implement, and enforce the provisions of this Part 1.
Any powers granted to or duties imposed upon the MTMSA Manager may
be delegated by the MTMSA Manager to a duly authorized MTMSA staff
member.

there is (or may be) a discharge of pollutants, the construction of
which commenced after the publication of proposed pretreatment standards

section, provided that:
The building, structure, facility, or installation is constructed

to which the new facility is engaged in the same general type of activity
as the existing source, should be considered.
Construction on a site at which an existing source is located
results in a modification rather than a new source if the construction
does not create a new building, structure, facility, or installation

is necessary for the placement, assembly, or installation of new source
facilities or equipment; or
Entered into a binding contractual obligation for the purchase
of facilities or equipment which are intended to be used in its operation
within a reasonable time. Options to purchase or contracts which can
be terminated or modified without substantial loss, and contracts
for feasibility, engineering, and design studies do not constitute
a contractual obligation under this definition.
Water used for cooling that does not come into direct contact
with any raw material, intermediate product, waste product, or finished
product.

violation of any requirement of the POTW-TP's NPDES permit, including
an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation.

Treatment Plant, Chalfont-New Britain Joint Sewage Authority Wastewater
Treatment Plant, Upper Gwynedd Township Wastewater Treatment Plant,
and Lansdale Borough Wastewater Treatment Plant. As used herein, the
term POTW-TP shall, as the circumstances require, refer to the facility
treating the wastewater and/or the entity responsible for its operation.
The reduction of the amount of pollutants, the elimination
of pollutants, or the alteration of the nature of pollutant properties
in wastewater prior to, or in lieu of, introducing such pollutants
into the POTW. This reduction or alteration can be obtained by physical,
chemical, or biological processes; by process changes; or by other
means, except by diluting the concentration of the pollutants unless
allowed by an applicable pretreatment standard.
Any substantive or procedural requirement related to pretreatment
imposed on a user, other than a pretreatment standard.
Prohibited discharge standards, categorical pretreatment
standards, and local limits.

For the purposes of this Part 1, POTW shall also include any sewers that convey wastewaters to the POTW from persons inside or outside Montgomery Township and participating municipalities.
Facilities, including any part of but not necessarily the
entirety of a system of such facilities, operated by the MTMSA for
the collection of wastewater within Montgomery Township. This includes

Any waste from retaining tanks, such as vessels, chemical
toilets, campers, trailers, and septic tanks.

Except as provided in Subsection A(3) and (4) of this definition,
a significant industrial user is:
An industrial user subject to categorical pretreatment standards;
or
An industrial user that:
Discharges an average of twenty-five thousand gpd or more of
process wastewater to the POTW (excluding sanitary, noncontact cooling
and boiler blowdown wastewater);
Contributes a process waste stream which makes up 5% or more
of the average dry weather hydraulic or organic capacity of the POTW
treatment plant; or
Is designated as such by the POTW on the basis that it has a
reasonable potential for adversely affecting the POTW's operation
or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement.
The POTW-TP may determine that an industrial user subject to
categorical pretreatment standards is a nonsignificant categorical
industrial user rather than a significant industrial user on a finding
that the industrial user never discharges more than 100 gallons per
day (gpd) of total categorical wastewater (excluding sanitary, noncontact
cooling and boiler blowdown wastewater, unless specifically included
in the pretreatment standard) and the following conditions are met:
Upon a finding that a user meeting the criteria in Subsection (2) of this part has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, the POTW-TP may at any time, on its own initiative or in response to a petition received from an industrial user, and in accordance with procedures in 40 CFR 403.8(f)(6), determine that such user should not be considered a significant industrial user.

A slug discharge is any discharge of a nonroutine, episodic nature, including but not limited to an accidental spill or a noncustomary batch discharge, which has a reasonable potential to cause interference or pass-through, or in any other way violate the POTW's regulations, local limits or permit conditions.
