Wastewater discharge permits will include conditions the Public Works Director deems reasonably necessary to carry out the goals of the pretreatment program (PMC 13.90.010), federal and state regulations, and the requirements of this chapter.

(a) The permit issuance date, effective date, and expiration date;

(b) A statement that the wastewater discharge permit is nontransferable without prior notification to the City in accordance with PMC 13.90.310, 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 and requirements to apply AKART (see PMC 13.90.070(9));

(d) The pollutants to be monitored and specific monitoring requirements. This shall include the sampling location(s), sampling frequencies, and sample types consistent with federal, state, and local law (see PMC 13.90.070(10));

(e) Requirements to submit certain reports (as reflected in PMC 13.90.060), provide various notifications, keep records, and implement best management practices;

(f) The process to be used to request a waiver from monitoring for a pollutant neither present nor expected to be present in the discharge in accordance with PMC 13.90.380, or a specific waived pollutant in the case of an individual permit;

(e) Requirements to pay charges or fees for discharge to the POTW, including high strength charges;

(f) Requirements to install and maintain inspection and sampling facilities and equipment, including flow measurement devices;

(g) Notice that compliance with the wastewater discharge permit does not relieve the user of responsibility for compliance with all applicable federal, state and local pretreatment standards, including those which become effective during the term of the wastewater discharge permit; and

(h) Other conditions as deemed appropriate by the Public Works Director to provide compliance with this chapter and federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations. [Ord. 4169 § 1, 2014; Code 1970 § 13.62.050(B).]
