Title 13 Public Utilities and Services
Chapter 13.03A Pretreatment
Article III. Wastewater Discharge Permit
Section 13.03A.0300 Wastewater Discharge Permit Requirement – Individual, General Permits
No significant industrial user (SIU) shall discharge wastewater into the POTW without first obtaining a discharge permit from the Plant Manager. Such permit must be enforceable and contain all the elements as required by 40 CFR 403.8(f)(1)(iii)(B). Failure to obtain a permit or permit violati ons are violati ons of this chapter. All applicable federal, state, and local pretreatment requirements and standards apply to permittees, whether or not stated in the permit.
A discharge permit may be designed for an individual user (individual permit) or an identified class of users (general permit). A general permit is issued where a given class of users:
involve the same or substantially similar types of operati ons;
involve applicant classes as established by the Plant Manager discharging the same types of wastes;
require the same effluent limitati ons;
require the same or similar monitoring; and
in the opinion of the Plant Manager, are more appropriately controlled under a general discharge permit than under individual discharge permits. (Cross reference: 40 CFR §403.8(f)(2))
