Any wastewater containing BOD, total solids, or suspended solids
of such character and quantity that unusual attention or expense is
required to handle such materials at the sewage treatment plant; provided,
however, that a user may be permitted by specific, written agreement
with the POTW, which agreement to discharge such BOD or TSS may provide
for special charges, payments or provisions for treating and testing
equipment.
A surcharge shall be assessed to users who contribute wastes
with pollutant levels above the following:

B.
The USEPA will promulgate new categorical pretreatment standards
from time to time. This ordinance shall be amended to include any
new standards applicable to this POTW.
All Industrial Users shall provide necessary wastewater pretreatment
as required to comply with this Ordinance and shall achieve compliance
will all applicable Pretreatment Requirement and Standards within
the time limitations as specified by appropriate statutes, regulations,
and this ordinance. National Categorical Pretreatment Standards shall
be added to this ordinance as amendments. Any facilities required
to pretreat wastewater to a level acceptable to the POTW shall be
provided, properly operated and maintained at the User's expense.
All Industrial Users shall obtain all necessary construction and operating
permits from the MODNR. Such pretreatment facilities shall be under
the control and direction of a MODNR certified Wastewater Treatment
Operator. Any subsequent physical changes in the pretreatment facilities
or significant change in the method of operation shall be submitted
to an approved by the POTW prior to the Industrial User's initiation
of the changes.
No user shall increase the use of process water or, in any way,
attempt to dilute a discharge as a partial or complete substitute
for adequate pretreatment to achieve compliance with the limitations
contained in the National Categorical Pretreatment Standards (NCPS)
when effective, or in any other pollutant-specific limitations developed
by the POTW.
A.
Each Industrial User having the ability to cause Interference with
the POTW treatment plant or to violate the regulatory provision of
this ordinance shall provide protection from accidental discharge
to the POTW of prohibited material or other substances regulated by
this ordinance. Facilities to prevent accidental discharge of prohibited
materials shall be provided and maintained at the owner or User's
own cost and expense.
B.
All Industrial Users whose wastewater includes or could include compatible
or incompatible pollutants in amounts great enough to cause Interference
with the POTW must have detailed plans on file at the POTW showing
facilities and operating procedures to provide protection from accidental
discharge. All Industrial Users shall complete construction of said
facilities by such dates as the POTW shall determine, taking into
consideration of the complexity and extent of construction required
to comply with this ordinance and the potential harm which may be
caused to the POTW. All Significant Industrial Users shall complete
construction of said spill containment facilities within one year
of the effective date of this ordinance or within one year of beginning
discharge, whichever is later. However, if a different date for completing
construction of said spill containment facilities is set in the Significant
Industrial User's Wastewater Discharge Permit by the POTW, after
taking into consideration the complexity and extent of construction
required to comply with this ordinance and the potential harm which
may be caused to the POTW, that date shall apply. No Industrial User
who begins contributing to or could contribute such pollutants to
the POTW after the effective date of this ordinance shall be permitted
to introduce such pollutants into the POTW until accidental discharge
facilities and procedures, as appropriate, have been approved by the
POTW and installed by the Industrial User. Review and approval of
such plans and operating procedures shall not relieve the Industrial
User from the responsibility to modify its facility as necessary to
meet the requirements of this ordinance.
C.
In the case of an accidental or deliberate discharge of compatible
for incompatible pollutants which may cause Interference at the POTW
or will Pass Through the POTW or violate requirements of this ordinance,
it shall be the responsibility of the industrial user to immediately
telephone and notify the POTW of the incident. The notification shall
include name of caller, location and time of discharge, type of wastewater,
concentration and volume.
D.
Within 15 days following such an accidental or deliberate discharge
to the Industrial User shall submit to the POTW a detailed written
report describing the cause of the discharge and the measures to be
taken by the User to prevent similar future occurrences. Follow-up
reports may be required by the POTW as needed. Such report, or reports,
shall not relieve the Industrial User of any expense, loss, damage
or other liability which may be incurred as a result of damage to
the POTW, fish kills, or any other damage to person or property; nor
shall such report relieve the User of any fines, civil penalties,
or other liability which may be imposed by this ordinance or otherwise.
Failure to report accidental or deliberate discharges may, in addition
to any other remedies available to the POTW, result in the revocation
of the discharger's wastewater discharge permit.
E.
The Industrial User shall control production or all discharges to
the extent necessary to maintain compliance with all applicable regulations
upon reduction, loss, or failure of its treatment facility until the
facility is restored or an alternative method of treatment is provided.
This requirement includes the situation where, among other things,
the primary source of power of the treatment facility is reduced,
lost or fails.
F.
A notice in English and the language of common use shall be permanently
posted on the Industrial User's bulletin board or other prominent
place advising employees whom to call in the event of an accidental
or illegal discharge. Employers shall insure that all employees who
are in a position to cause, discover, or observe such discharge are
advised of the emergency notification procedures.
