All dischargers of industrial wastewater to the sewer system who are required to have an industrial wastewater discharge permit shall submit an application to the director. The industrial sewer discharge permit application shall be submitted to the department of public works for processing as required by LMC 2.44.040, unless federal rules and regulation require otherwise. New industrial users subject to federal categorical standards or local limitations as determined by the director shall apply 60 days prior to connecting to the city sanitary sewer. The director shall review applications, determine appropriate requirements, restrictions and limitations for the applicant and issue an industrial wastewater discharge permit as needed. Where a discharger becomes subject to a national categorical pretreatment standard, and has not previously submitted an application for a wastewater discharge permit, the discharger shall apply for a wastewater discharge permit from the city within 90 days after the promulgation of the applicable categorical pretreatment standards by the EPA. All permittees shall apply for renewal of their wastewater permit no later than 90 days prior to the expiration of their present permit.

All dischargers who are subject to federal categorical standards must submit a baseline monitoring report within 180 days of the promulgation of appropriate categorical standards. The report shall follow the rules provided in 40 CFR 403.12(b).

For new sources the discharger may provide estimates of production, flow and quality and presence of regulated pollutants in its wastestream.

A new source may be required to submit an engineering report to the director and comply with Chapter 173-240 WAC; the report should explain the method of pretreatment a new source intends to use to meet applicable categorical standards. A new source shall give estimates of its anticipated flow and quantity of pollutants discharged.

The cost of industrial wastewater discharge permits shall be as shown in Chapter 3.104 LMC. (Ord. 3220 § 2, 2016; Ord. 2742 § 2, 2008; Ord. 2656 §§ 1, 2, 2006; Ord. 2076 § 17, 1996; Ord. 1705, 1989)
