SECTION 98-8 [WASTEWATER DISCHARGE PERMIT APPLICATION]
When requested by The Manager, a user must submit information on the
nature and characteristics of its wastewater within thirty (30) days of the
request. The Manager is authorized to prepare a form for this purpose and
may periodically require users to update this information.
- No significant industrial user shall discharge wastewater into the
POTW without first obtaining a wastewater discharge permit from the
Manager, except that a significant industrial user that has filed a
timely application pursuant to Sec. 98-8(C) of this ordinance may
continue to discharge for the time period specified therein.
- CCWA may require other users to obtain wastewater discharge permits
as necessary to carry out the purposes of this ordinance.
- Any violation of the terms and conditions of a wastewater discharge
permit shall be deemed a violation of this ordinance and subjects the
wastewater discharge permittee to the sanctions set out in Sec. 98-13 of
this ordinance. Obtaining a wastewater discharge permit does not relieve
a permittee of its obligation to comply with all Federal and State
pretreatment standards or requirements or with any other requirements of
Federal, State, and local law.
Any user required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit who was
discharging wastewater into the POTW prior to the effective date of this
ordinance and who wishes to continue such discharges in the future, shall,
within ninety (90) days after said date, apply to the Manager for a
wastewater discharge permit in accordance with Sec. 98-8 (E) of this
ordinance, and shall not cause or allow discharges to the POTW to continue
after ninety (90) days of the effective date of this ordinance except in
accordance with a wastewater discharge permit issued by the Manager.
Any user required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit that proposes
to begin or recommence discharging into the POTW must obtain such permit
prior to the beginning or recommencing of such discharge. An application
for this wastewater discharge permit, in accordance with Sec. 98-8 (E) of
this ordinance, must be filed at least ninety (90) days prior to the date
upon which any discharge will begin or recommence.
All users required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit must submit a
permit application, which includes but is not limited to the following
information:
- All information required by Sec. 98-10 (A)(2) of this ordinance;
- Description of activities, facilities, and plant processes on the
premises, including a list of all raw materials and chemicals used or
stored at the facility which are, or could accidentally or intentionally
be, discharged to the POTW;
- Number and type of employees, hours of operation, and proposed or
actual hours of operation;
- Each product produced by type, amount, process or processes, and rate
of production;
- Type and amount of raw materials processed (average and maximum per
day);
- Site plans, floor plans, mechanical and plumbing plans, and details
to show all sewers, floor drains, and appurtenances by size, location,
and elevation, and all points of discharge;
- Time and duration of discharges; and
- Any other information as may be deemed necessary by the Manager to
evaluate the wastewater discharge permit application.
Incomplete or inaccurate applications will not be processed and will be
returned to the user for revision.
All wastewater discharge permit applications and user reports must be
signed by an authorized representative of the user and contain the
following certification statement:
"I certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments
were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system
designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate
the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who
manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the
information, the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and
belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant
penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of
fine and imprisonment for knowing violations."
CCWA will evaluate the data furnished by the user and may require
additional information. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of a complete
wastewater discharge permit application, CCWA will determine whether or not
to issue a wastewater discharge permit. CCWA may deny any application for a
wastewater discharge permit.
