in effect17.52.080: PERMIT; CONTENTS:
A wastewater discharge permit shall include such conditions as are deemed reasonably necessary by the director 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.
A. Wastewater discharge permits shall contain:
1. A statement that indicates the wastewater discharge permit issuance date, expiration date and effective date (see section 17.52.070 of this chapter);
2. A statement that the wastewater discharge permit is nontransferable without prior notification to the city in accordance with section 17.52.110 of this chapter, and provisions for furnishing the new owner or operator with a copy of the existing wastewater discharge permit;
3. Effluent limits, including BMPs, based on applicable pretreatment standards;
4. Self-monitoring, sampling, reporting, notification, and recordkeeping requirements. These requirements shall include an identification of pollutants (or BMP) to be monitored, sampling location, sampling frequency, and sample type based on federal, state, and local law;
5. The process for seeking a waiver from monitoring for a pollutant neither present nor expected to be present in the discharge in accordance with subsection 17.52.160D2 of this chapter;
6. A statement of applicable 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;
7. Requirements to control slug discharge, if determined by the director to be necessary; and
8. Any grant of the monitoring waiver by the director (subsection 17.52.160D2 of this chapter) shall be included as a condition in the user's permit.
B. Wastewater discharge permits may contain, but need not be limited to, the following conditions:
1. Requirements for the payment of the then current unit charge or schedule of user charges and fees for the wastewater to be discharged to the POTW;
2. Limits on the average and/or maximum rate and time of discharge and/or requirements for flow regulation and equalization;
3. 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 treatment works;
4. Requirements for the development and implementation of spill control plans in accordance with section 17.36.150 of this title or other special conditions including management practices necessary to adequately prevent accidental, unanticipated, or nonroutine discharges; facilities to prevent accidental discharge of prohibited materials shall be provided and maintained at the industrial user's own cost and expense. Review and approval of such plans and operating procedures shall not relieve the industrial user from the responsibility to modify the industrial user's facility as necessary to meet the requirements hereof. In the case of an accidental discharge, the industrial user shall implement the requirements set out in subsections 17.52.160F1 through F4 of this chapter;
5. Requirements for installation and maintenance of inspection and sampling facilities including flow measurement devices as contained in section 17.52.220 of this chapter;

7. Requirements for submission of technical reports or discharge reports;
8. Requirements for maintaining and retaining records relating to wastewater discharge, as specified by the POTW, and affording POTW access thereto;
9. Requirements for development and implementation of waste minimization plans to reduce the amount of pollutants discharged to the POTW;
10. Requirements for notification of the POTW of any new introduction of wastewater constituents or any substantial change in the volume or character of the wastewater constituents being introduced into the wastewater treatment system. The city reserves the ability to accept or deny any proposed changes to the wastewater discharges at the facility;
11. Requirements for separate systems to handle sanitary and industrial wastewater, such that in the event that the user's industrial wastewater is or could cause an interference or a potential interference with the POTW, that the industrial wastewater could be severed, preventing discharge into the POTW and still allowing the user's sanitary wastewater to discharge into the POTW;
12. A statement that compliance with the wastewater discharge permit does not relieve the permittee of responsibility for compliance with all applicable federal and state pretreatment standards, including those which become effective during the term of the wastewater discharge permit;
13. Production rates where mass discharge limits are required; and
14. Other conditions as deemed appropriate by the director to ensure compliance with this chapter, and state and federal laws, rules, and regulations. (Ord. 68-11, 2011)
