10.04.210 Individual Wastewater Discharge Permit Contents.
An individual wastewater discharge permit shall include such conditions as are deemed reasonably necessary by the Provo City Industrial Pretreatment Coordinator to prevent pass-through or interference, protect the quality of the water body receiving the treatment plant’s effluent, protect worker health and safety, facilitate sludge management and disposal, and protect against damage to the POTW.
(1) Individual wastewater discharge permits must contain:
(a) A statement that indicates the wastewater discharge permit issuance date, expiration date and effective date (see Section 10.04.200, Provo City Code);
(b) A statement that the wastewater discharge permit is nontransferable without prior notification and approval from Provo City and provisions for furnishing the new owner or operator with a copy of the existing wastewater discharge permit;
(c) Effluent limits, including best management practices, based on applicable pretreatment standards;
(d) Self-monitoring, sampling, reporting, notification, and recordkeeping requirements. These requirements shall include an identification of pollutants (or best management practice) to be monitored, sampling location, sampling frequency, and sample type based on Federal, State, and local law;
(e) A statement of applicable administrative, civil, and criminal penalties for violation of pretreatment standards and requirements, and any applicable compliance schedule. Such schedule may not extend the time for compliance beyond that required by applicable Federal, State, or local law;
(f) Requirements to control slug discharges, if determined by the Provo City Industrial Pretreatment Coordinator to be necessary;
(g) Requirements to report immediately to the Provo City Industrial Pretreatment Coordinator any slug discharge or any changes at its facility affecting potential for a slug discharge; and
(h) Requirements to notify the Provo City Industrial Pretreatment Coordinator of changes to the industrial user’s discharge thirty (30) days prior to the change. The Provo City Industrial Pretreatment Coordinator may deny or conditionally approve the change prior to the user making the change at the facility that may impact the discharge at the facility to the POTW.
(2) Individual wastewater discharge permits may contain, but need not be limited to, the following conditions:
(a) Limits on the average and/or maximum rate of discharge, time of discharge, and/or requirements for flow regulation and equalization;
(b) Requirements for the installation of pretreatment technology, pollution control, or construction of appropriate containment devices designed to reduce, eliminate, or prevent the introduction of pollutants into the POTW;
(c) Requirements for the development and implementation of spill control plans or other special conditions, including management practices necessary to adequately prevent accidental, unanticipated, or nonroutine discharges;
(d) Development and implementation of waste minimization plans to reduce the amount of pollutants discharged to the POTW;
(e) The unit charge or schedule of user charges and fees for the management of the wastewater discharged to the POTW;
(f) Requirements for installation and maintenance of inspection and sampling facilities and equipment, including flow measurement devices;
(g) Other conditions as deemed appropriate by the Provo City Industrial Pretreatment Coordinator to ensure compliance with this Chapter, and State and Federal laws, rules, and regulations; and
(h) Requirements for maintaining and retaining plant records relating to wastewater discharge as specified by the City, and affording City access thereto.
(3) Individual Wastewater Discharge Permit Transfer. An individual wastewater discharge permit may be transferred to a new owner or operator only if the permittee gives at least sixty (60) days advance notice to the Provo City Industrial Pretreatment Coordinator and the Provo City Industrial Pretreatment Coordinator approves the individual wastewater discharge permit transfer. The notice to the Provo City Industrial Pretreatment Coordinator must include a written certification by the new owner or operator which:
(a) States that the new owner and/or operator has no immediate intent to change the facility’s operations and process;
(b) Identifies the specific date on which the transfer is to occur;
(c) Acknowledges full responsibility for complying with the existing individual wastewater discharge permit; and
(d) The conditions of the permit will not change.
Failure to provide advance notice of a transfer renders the individual wastewater discharge permit void as of the date of facility transfer.
