(1) No user categorized by the Public Works Director as a significant industrial user shall discharge wastewater into the POTW without first obtaining an individual wastewater discharge permit or, where applicable, a general permit from the Public Works Director. A significant industrial user that has filed a timely application pursuant to PMC 13.90.210 may continue to discharge unless and until notified otherwise by the Public Works Director.

(2) The Public Works Director may require all other users to obtain wastewater discharge permits, or implement best management practices as necessary to carry out the purposes of this chapter. For example, a wastewater discharge permit may be required solely for flow equalization.

(3) Any failure to complete the required survey form, apply for and obtain a required permit, or any violation of the terms and conditions of a wastewater discharge permit shall be deemed violations of this chapter and subject the wastewater discharge permittee to the sanctions set out in PMC 13.90.520 through 13.90.540. Obtaining a wastewater discharge permit does not relieve a user of its obligation to comply with all federal, state, and local pretreatment standards or requirements or with any other requirements of federal, state, and local law. [Ord. 4169 § 1, 2014; Code 1970 § 13.62.040(B).]
