the city will determine whether to issue an individual, or if applicable, a general, wastewater discharge permit. The city may deny any application for an individual or general wastewater discharge permit. SF. Permit required. [remainder of this section to remain the same] CO. Permit conditions. Wastewater discharge permits shall be expressly subject to all provisions of this chapter and all other applicable regulations, user charges, and fees established by the city. An individual or general wastewater discharge permit as well as BMPs shall include such conditions as are deemed reasonably necessary by the superintendent to prevent pass through or interference, protect the quality of the body of water receiving the treatment plant's effluent, protect worker health and safety, facilitate sludge management and disposal, and protect against damage to the POTW. Permits may be conditioned upon the following: [remainder of this section to remain the same] DH. Permit duration; suspension or revocation. A wastewater discharge permit or BMP shall be issued for a period of three years from the date of issue. The user shall apply for a new permit with completed wastewater discharge permit application within a minimum of 90 days prior to the expiration of the user's existing permit. Any permit may be suspended or revoked for failure to comply with any of the requirements of this chapter, for any failure to accurately report the wastewater constituents and characteristics of its discharge; or any refusal of reasonable access to the user's premises for the purpose of inspection, monitoring, or sampling. El. Permit modification. Upon promulgation of additional categorical pretreatment standards and within the time prescribed thereby, the wastewater discharge permit of users subject to such standards shall be revised as required to comply with any part thereof which is mere-stricter than existing standards or conditions of the permit. Where a user, subject to categorical pretreatment standards, has not previously submitted an application for a wastewater discharge permit, the user shall apply for a wastewater discharge permit within 30 days after promulgation of the applicable categorical pretreatment standard. Any user with an existing wastewater discharge permit shall submit to the city, within 30 days after such promulgation, the information required by subsections DA.4(h) and DA.4(i) of this section. In addition to the foregoing, the terms and conditions of the permit shall be subject to modification by the city during the term of the permit as limitations or requirements are modified or other just cause exists. Any changes or new conditions in the permit shall include a reasonable time schedule for compliance as determined by the city. The city reserves the right to require any industrial user to install and maintain a pretreatment system and require it to be operated by a state certified industrial wastewater plant operator if the system is of complicated design as Ordinance No.1628,Series 2013 Page 5 of 9
