Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 13, September 23, 2024
A. A POTW
authority required to develop a local pretreatment program under part
7049.0800 may conditionally give
removal credits pending approval of such a program according to the following
terms and conditions:
(1) all industrial
users who are currently subject to a categorical pretreatment standard and who
want conditionally to receive a removal credit shall submit to the POTW
baseline monitoring report information, as provided in parts
7049.0500 to
7049.0550, pertaining to the
categorical pretreatment standard as modified by the removal credit. The
industrial users shall indicate what additional technology, if any, will be
needed to comply with the categorical pretreatment standards as modified by the
removal credit;
(2) the POTW
authority shall submit to the agency a timely application for pretreatment
program approval meeting the requirements of parts
7049.0800 to
7049.1020. An application is
timely if it does not exceed the time limitation in a compliance schedule for
development of a pretreatment program included in the POTW's national pollutant
discharge elimination system permit. If a POTW that has not previously been
required to develop a pretreatment program under parts
7049.0800 to
7049.1020 requests authority to
grant removal credits, the POTW's permit shall be modified to require the
development of a delegated pretreatment program under parts
7049.0800 to
7049.1020;
(3) the POTW shall compile and submit data
demonstrating its consistent removal according to parts
7049.0400 and
7049.0410;
(4) the POTW shall comply with part
7049.0380; and
(5) the POTW shall submit a complete
application for removal credit authority according to part
7049.0450.
B. If a POTW receives authority to grant
conditional removal credits and the agency subsequently makes a final
determination after appropriate notice that the POTW failed to comply with item
A, the authority to grant conditional removal credits shall be terminated by
the agency and all industrial users to whom the revised discharge limits had
been applied shall achieve compliance with the applicable categorical
pretreatment standard within a reasonable time, not to exceed the period of
time prescribed in the applicable categorical pretreatment standard, as may be
specified by the agency.
