[R.O. 1993 § 710.110; Ord. No.
2669 § 3.1, 2-8-1999]
Users shall provide wastewater treatment as necessary to comply with this Chapter and shall achieve compliance with all categorical pretreatment standards, local limits, and the prohibitions set out in Section 710.050 of this Chapter within the time limitations specified by EPA, the State, or the Superintendent, 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 Superintendent for review, and shall be acceptable to the Superintendent 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 City under the provisions of this Chapter.
[R.O. 1993 § 710.120; Ord. No.
2669 § 3.2, 2-8-1999]
A.
Whenever deemed necessary, the Superintendent 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 Chapter.
B.
The Superintendent 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 Superintendent, 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. All interception units shall be of type and capacity approved
by the Superintendent 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 their expense.
D.
Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be
required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection
meter.
[R.O. 1993 § 710.130; Ord. No.
2669 § 3.3, 2-8-1999]
A.
At least once every two (2) years, the Superintendent shall evaluate
whether each significant industrial user needs an accidental discharge/slug
control plan. The Superintendent may require any user to develop,
submit for approval, and implement such a plan. Alternatively, the
Superintendent may develop such a plan for any user. An accidental
discharge/slug control plan shall address, at a minimum, the following:
1.
Description of discharge practices, including non-routine batch
discharges;
2.
Description of stored chemicals;
3.
Procedures for immediately notifying the Superintendent of any accidental or slug discharge, as required by Section 710.350 of this Chapter; and
4.
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.
[R.O. 1993 § 710.140; Ord. No.
2669 § 3.4, 2-8-1999]
A.
Septic tank waste may be introduced into the POTW only at locations designated by the Superintendent, and at such times as are established by the Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator. Such waste shall not violate Section 710.050 of this Chapter or any other requirements established by the City. The Superintendent may require septic tank waste haulers to obtain wastewater discharge permits.
B.
The Superintendent shall require haulers of industrial waste to obtain
wastewater discharge permits. The Superintendent may require generators
of hauled industrial waste to obtain wastewater discharge permits.
The Superintendent also may prohibit the disposal of hauled industrial
waste. The discharge of hauled industrial waste is subject to all
other requirements of this Chapter.
C.
Industrial waste haulers may discharge loads only at locations designated
by the Superintendent. No load may be discharged without prior consent
of the Superintendent. The Superintendent may collect samples of each
load hauled to ensure compliance with applicable standards. The Superintendent
may require the industrial waste hauler to provide a waste analysis
of any load prior to discharge.
D.
Industrial waste haulers must provide a waste tracking form for every
load. This form shall include, at a minimum, the name and address
of the industrial waste hauler, permit number, truck identification,
names and addresses of sources of waste, and volume and characteristics
of waste. The form shall identify the type of industry, known or suspected
waste constituents, and whether any wastes are RCRA hazardous wastes.
