§ 78-133. Administration.

(a)

If any waters or wastes are discharged or are proposed to be discharged to the public sewers, which waters contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in section 78-132 and which may have a deleterious effect on the public sewer system, processes, equipment or receiving waters or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the city, via the assistant to the city manager for public services, may:

(1)

Reject the wastes.

(2)

Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition prior to discharge to the public sewers.

(3)

Require control over the quantities and rates of discharges.

(4)

Require payment pursuant to this section and subsection, to cover the added cost of handling and treating the wastes not covered by existing taxes or sewer charges. The class descriptions and permitting fee shall be as follows:

a.

Class 1—Significant industrial users shall apply for and obtain an IWDP prior to discharge, and periodic site visits will be performed by the city prior to any IWDP renewal. Class 1 users shall also submit a spill containment plan to the city. All class 1 users shall be assessed a permit fee of $250.00 and a renewal fee of $250.00. The permit fee shall be submitted together with the completed permit application. There shall be no fee assessed for the random sampling and compliance monitoring expenses incurred by the city; provided, however, that the sampling fees assessment as outlined in subsection 78-136(m) of this article shall be in full force and effect at all times.

b.

Class 2—Grease dischargers may have inspections by the city, and a permit may be required for these users.

d.

Class 4—Non-industrial dischargers are not required to have a permit, although their permit applications shall be kept on file pending a status change or reclassification.

e.

Class 5—Waste haulers are regulated according to the following provisions:

1.

Septic tank waste may be introduced into the POTW only at locations designated by the assistant to the city manager for public services, and at such times as are established by the assistant to the city manager for public services. Such waste shall not violate section 78-132 of this article or any other requirements established by the city. The assistant to the city manager for public services may require septic tank waste haulers to obtain industrial wastewater discharge permits.

2.

The assistant to the city manager for public services may require haulers of industrial waste to obtain industrial wastewater discharge permits. The assistant to the city manager for public services may require generators of hauled industrial waste to obtain industrial wastewater discharge permits. The assistant to the city manager for public services also may prohibit the disposal of hauled industrial waste. The discharge of hauled industrial waste is subject to all other requirements of this article.

3.

Industrial waste haulers may discharge loads only at locations designated by the assistant to the city manager for public services. No load may be discharged without prior consent of the assistant to the city manager for public services. The assistant to the city manager for public services may collect samples of each hauled load to ensure compliance with applicable standards. The assistant to the city manager for public services may require the industrial waste hauler to provide a waste analysis of any load prior to discharge.

4.

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.

f.

Any user or industry storing hazardous or toxic chemicals on site shall submit a spill containment plan to the city.

g.

If the assistant to the city manager for public services permits the pretreatment or equalization of waste flows, the design and installation of the plans and equipment shall be subject to the review and approval of the assistant to the city manager for public services, and subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances, and laws. Where preliminary treatment or flow-equalizing facilities are provided for any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory and effective operation by the permit holder at his expense as required by this section.

(b)

Interceptors. Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the assistant to the city manager for public services, they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing grease in excessive amounts, or any flammable wastes, sand or other harmful ingredients. All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the assistant to the city manager for public services and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.

(c)

Wastewater survey. When requested by the control authority, any new or existing industrial user and any zero process discharge industrial facility must submit information on the nature and characteristics of its wastewater, including production and disposal procedures, by completing a wastewater survey questionnaire. The control authority may prepare a form for this purpose and may periodically require industrial users to update the survey. Failure to complete this survey shall be a violation of this article.
