10075.8 Pretreatment and control facilities.
(a) Pretreatment of industrial wastewaters.
The general manager may require an industrial user to install and operate an industrial wastewater pretreatment system to treat industrial flows prior to discharge to the B.S.A. system when it is necessary to measure, sample, restrict or prevent the discharge to the sewer of certain waste constituents, to more equally distribute peak discharges of industrial wastewater, or to accomplish any pretreatment results required by the general manager. All pretreatment systems shall be subject to the approval of the sewer authority, but such approval shall not relieve the industrial dischargers of the responsibility of meeting any required industrial effluent limitations. All pretreatment systems shall be adequately engineered and designed to the satisfaction of the general manager and all design reports and plans shall have been prepared, certified and signed by a professional engineer licensed to practice in the State of New York. Any construction for this purpose shall comply with all applicable city and State codes. Approval by the general manager does not constitute a waiver of compliance with these regulations or other appropriate regulations, ordinances and codes.
(b) Spill control and prevention.
Each user shall incorporate measures to prevent or control accidental discharges of substances and wastewater prohibited or limited by the requirements of these regulations. These measures shall include facilities and operating procedures as necessary to prevent the entrance of accidental spills into the authority's facilities. When required by the authority, detailed plans describing these facilities and procedures shall be submitted to the authority for review, and shall be approved by the general manager before construction of these facilities. No user who commences contribution to the POTW after the effective date of this regulation shall be permitted to discharge into the system until accidental discharge procedures have been approved by the general manager.
(c) Compliance schedule.
If an industrial user is required to install and operate a pretreatment or control system for the purposes identified in subdivisions (a) and (b) of this section, the industrial user shall develop and submit a compliance schedule to define the shortest schedule by which the user will provide such pretreatment or operation and maintenance.
(d) The following conditions shall apply to this schedule:
(1) The schedule shall contain increments of progress in the form of dates for the commencement and completion of major events leading to the construction and operation of the pretreatment system required for the user to comply with the objectives stated in subdivision (a) of this section. These shall include hiring an engineer, completing preliminary plans, completing final plans, executing contract(s) for major components, commencing construction, completing construction, etc.
(2) No increment referred to in paragraph (1) of this subdivision shall exceed nine months.
(3) Not later than 14 days following each milestone date in the schedule and the final date for compliance, the user shall submit a progress report to the general manager including, as a minimum, whether or not it complied with the increment of progress to be met on such date and, if not, the date on which it expects to comply with this increment of progress, the reason for delay, and the steps being taken by the user to bring the construction back into compliance with the schedule. In no event shall more than nine months elapse between such progress reports.
