A. Permittees shall make wastewater acceptable under the limitations established herein before discharging to any public sewer. Any facilities required to pretreat wastewater to a level acceptable to the Director shall be provided and maintained at the permittee’s sole expense. Detailed plans, compliance schedules and operating procedures shall be submitted to the Director for review and shall be approved by the Director before construction of the facility. The review of such plans and operating procedures will in no way relieve the permittee from the responsibility of modifying the facility as necessary to produce an effluent acceptable under the provisions of this title and the industrial wastewater discharge permit. Any subsequent changes in the pretreatment facilities or method of operation shall be reported to and be approved by the Director. No permittee shall increase the use of process water or, in any way, attempt to dilute a discharge (except as allowed by federal pretreatment standards) as a partial or complete substitute for adequate treatment to achieve compliance with any local, state or federal discharge standard.

B. The Director shall have the authority, in negotiation with any industrial permittee, to impose compliance schedules relating to installation of specific pretreatment equipment, filing of reports and achievement of specific discharge conditions including target parameter concentrations.

C. Pretreated wastewater shall conform to categorical pretreatment standards promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the authority of the Clean Water Act, Sections 307(b) and (c). (Ord. 2466 § 7, 1991).
