And isdevelopedin accordance with 40 CFR403.5(c).Pass Through means a Discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State inquantities or concentrations which, alone or in conjunction with a discharge or dischargesfrom other sources, is a cause of a violation of any requirement of the POTW's NPDESpermit (includingan increase inthemagnitude ordurationofaviolation).PubliclyOwnedTreatmentWorksor POTWmeansatreatmentworksasdefinedbysection212 of the CWA, which is owned by a State or municipality (as defined by section 502(4)of the CWA). This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage,treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal sewage or industrial wastes of a liquidnature.Italsoincludessewers,pipesandotherconveyancesonlyiftheyconveywastewaterto a POTW Treatment Plant. The term also means the municipality as defined in section502(4)of theCWA,whichhas jurisdictionover theIndirectDischarges to andthedischargesfromsuch atreatmentworks.Significant Industrial User (SIU) is defined as an Industrial User discharging to a POTWthat satisfiesanyofthe following:Hasaprocesswastewaterflowof25,000gallonsor moreper averageworkday;Has a flow greater than five percent of the flow carried by the municipal systemreceivingthewaste;IssubjecttoCategoricalPretreatment Standards,orHasareasonablepotentialforadverselyaffectingthePOTW'soperationorforviolatinganypretreatmentstandardorrequirement.UserorIndustrialUser(IU)meansasourceofIndirectDischargePretreatmentMonitoringandReportingRequirements.The design capacity of the municipal wastewater treatment facility is less than 5 MGD;therefore the permittee will not be required to develop an Approved POTW PretreatmentProgram.However,inordertodetermineifdevelopmentofanApprovedPOTWPretreatmentProgram is warranted,thepermittee shallconductan industrialwastesurvey,as describedinPartII.C.1.Monitoring will not be required of the permittee for the pretreatment requirements at thistime. If changes occur monitoring may be required for parameters not currently listed inthepermitorcurrentmonitoringrequirementsmayberequiredtobeincreasedtodeterminethe impact of an Industrial User or to investigate sources of pollutant loading. This couldinclude but is not limited to sampling of the influent and effluent of the wastewatertreatment plantand withinthe collectionsystem.For Local Limit parameters it is recommended that the most sensitive method be used foranalysis. This will determine if the parameter is present and provide removal efficienciesbased on actual data rather than literature values. If a parameter load is greater than theallowableheadworksload,foranypollutantlistedinPartI.,orapollutantofconcernlistedin the Local Limit development document or determined by the Director, the permitteemust report this information to the Pretreatment Coordinator for the Division of WaterQuality. If the loading exceeds the allowable headworks load, increase sampling mustoccurbasedontherequirementsgivenbythePretreatmentCoordinatorfortheDivisionofWaterQuality.Ifneededsamplingmayneedtooccurtofindthesource(s)oftheincrease.Thismayincludesamplingofthecollectionsystem.Notificationregardingtheexceedancesoftheallowable headworksloadingcanbe providedvia email.IndustrialWastes.The"Industrial WasteSurvey"or “IWS”asrequiredbyPart II.B.1.consistsof;IdentifyingeachIndustrialUser(IU)anddeterminingif theIUisaSignificantIndustrial User(SIU),Determinationofthequalitativeandquantitativecharacteristicsofeachdischarge,andAppropriateproductiondata.TheIWSmustbemaintainedandupdatedwithIUinformationasnecessary,toensurethatall IUs are properly permitted or controlled at all times.Updates must be submitted to theDirector sixty(60)days followingachange tothe IWS.NotifyallSignificantIndustrialUsersoftheirobligationtocomplywithapplicablerequirements under Subtitles C and D of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act(RCRA).The permittee must notify the Director of any new introductions by new or existing SIUsoranysubstantialchangeinpollutantsfromanymajorindustrialsource.Suchnoticemust containtheinformationdescribedin1.above,andbeforwardednolaterthansixty(60)daysfollowingthe introductionorchange.General and Specific Prohibitions. The permittee must ensure that no IU violates any of thegeneral or specific standards.If an IU is found violating a general or specific standard thepermittee must notify the Director within 24 hours of the event. The general prohibitions andthespecificprohibitionsapplytoeachUserintroducingpollutantsintoaPOTWwhetherornotthe User is subject to other Pretreatment Standards or any national, State or local PretreatmentRequirements.General prohibition Standards. A User may not introduce into a POTW any pollutant(s)whichcausePassThrough orInterference.Specific Prohibited Standards. Developed pursuant to Section 307 of The Water QualityAct of 1987 require that under no circumstances shall the permittee allow introduction ofthefollowingpollutantsintothe waste treatment systemfromanyUser(40 CFR403.5):Pollutants which create a fire or explosion hazard in the publicly owned treatmentworks(POTW),including,butnotlimitedto,waste-streamswithaclosedcupflashpointofless than 140˚F(60˚C);Pollutants,whichwillcausecorrosivestructuraldamagetothePOTW,butinnocase,dischargeswitha pHlowerthan 5.0;Solid or viscous pollutants in amounts which will cause obstruction to the flow in thePOTWresultingin Interference;Any pollutant, including oxygen demanding pollutants (BOD, etc.) released in adischargeat such volumeor strengthastocause Interferenceinthe POTW;Heat in amounts, which will inhibit biological activity in the POTW, resulting inInterference, but in no case, heat in such quantities that the influent to the sewagetreatment works exceeds 104˚F(40˚C);Petroleum oil, non-biodegradable cutting oil, or products of mineral oil origin inamountsthatwillcauseInterference orPassThrough;Pollutants which result in the presence of toxic gases, vapor, or fumes within thePOTWin aquantitythatmaycause workerhealthorsafetyproblems;or,Anytruckedorhauledpollutants,exceptatdischargepointsdesignatedbythePOTW.AnypollutantthatcausesPassThroughor Interferenceatthe POTW.Any prohibited standard which the permittee has adopted in an ordinance or rule tocontrolIUdischarge tothePOTW.Inadditiontothegeneralandspecificlimitationsexpressedabove,morespecificpretreatmentlimitationshavebeenandwillbepromulgatedforspecificindustrialcategories under Section 307 of the Water Quality Act of 1987 as amended (WQA).(See40CFR, Subchapter N, Parts 400through 500,forspecificinformation).Significant Industrial Users Discharging to the POTW.

If the permitteehasfailedtoproperlydelineatemaximumacceptableindustrialcontributorlevels,theDirectorwilllookprimarilytothepermittee astheresponsibleparty.Local Limits. If Local Limits are developed per R317-8-8.5(4)(b) to protect the POTW fromPass Through or Interference, then the POTW must submit limits to DWQ for review andpublicnotice,asrequiredbyR317-8-8.5(4)(c).LocalLimitsshouldbedevelopedinaccordancewiththelatest revisionoftheEPALocal LimitsDevelopment GuidanceandperR317-8-8.5.BIOSOLIDSREQUIREMENTSBiosolids Treatment and Disposal.
