§ 15.60.050. Compliance with National Pretreatment Standards required.

Certain industrial users are now or hereafter shall become subject to National Pretreatment Standards promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency specifying quantities or concentrations of pollutants or pollutant properties which may be discharged into the POTW. All industrial users subject to a National Pretreatment Standard shall comply with all requirements of such Standard and shall also comply with any additional or more stringent limitations contained in the general pretreatment regulations (40 CFR Part 403), the pretreatment standards found at 40 CFR Chapter I, Subchapter N, Parts 405-471, in this chapter, or in their permit. Compliance with National Pretreatment Standards for existing sources subject to such Standards or for existing sources which hereafter become subject to such standards shall be within three years following promulgation of the standards unless a shorter compliance time is specified in the standard. Compliance with National Pretreatment Standards for new sources shall be required upon promulgation of the standard. Except where expressly authorized by an applicable National Pretreatment Standard, no industrial user shall increase the use of process water or in any way attempt to dilute a discharge as a partial or complete substitution for adequate treatment to achieve compliance with such standard.
