Permits required.
Reno Administrative Code § 12.16.615
in effectSec. 12.16.615. - Permits required.
(a) Permits required. All Class III, IV and V industrial users shall not discharge to the POTW without an unexpired wastewater discharge permit issued by the city. A separate permit may be required for each industrial user, building or complex of buildings. All other industrial users that are determined to be Class II industrial users shall be notified by the city with applicable permitting and/or reporting requirements.
(b) New industrial users: Applying for a wastewater discharge permit. All Class III, IV and V industrial users shall apply for and obtain a wastewater discharge permit prior to discharging to the POTW. The industrial user shall file a permit application on forms provided by the city containing the information specified in subsection 12.16.620(b). The completed application for the wastewater discharge permit must be filed at least 90 days prior to the date upon which any discharge will begin or recommence.
(c) Existing industrial users: Applying for a wastewater discharge permit re-issuance. A Class III, IV and V industrial user with an expiring wastewater discharge permit shall apply for a new permit by submitting a complete permit application at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the industrial user's existing wastewater discharge permit. The industrial user shall file a permit application on forms provided by the city containing the information specified in subsection 12.16.620(b). An industrial user with an existing permit that has filed a complete and timely application may continue to discharge as approved in writing by the city through an administrative extension of the existing permit if the delay in permit issuance is not due to any act or failure to act on the industrial user's part.
(d) Enforceability. Any violation of the terms and conditions of a wastewater discharge permit, failure to apply for a permit as required, or discharging without a required permit shall be deemed a violation of this article and subjects the industrial user to enforcement by the city. Obtaining a wastewater discharge permit does not relieve a permittee of its obligation to comply with all state and federal pretreatment standards or requirements.
