				All industrial users shall comply with the requirements of this Chapter and all
				prohibitions listed in
				40 CFR
				Section 403.5.
(2) All categorical industrial users shall
				comply with the provisions of applicable categorical pretreatment
				standards.
(3) All existing
				categorical industrial users shall submit to the Department a baseline report
				containing the information required by
				40 CFR
				Section 403.12(1994) within
				180 days after the effective date of a categorical standard applying to that
				users process(s) or 180 days after the final decision has been made upon a
				category determination submittal by the industrial user. New sources shall
				submit the baseline report as a part of the SID Permit Application.
(4) Any holder of a SID Permit shall comply
				with all provisions of the SID Permit.
(5) An existing significant industrial user
				shall apply for reissuance of an expiring SID Permit no later than 180 days
				prior to the expiration date of the expiring SID Permit.
(6) A new significant industrial user shall
				apply for a SID Permit at least 180 days prior to the date that commencement of
				discharge is expected.
(7) An
				industrial user shall notify the publicly owned treatment works, the
				Department, and the EPA Region IV Waste Management Division Director of any
				discharge into a publicly owned treatment works of a substance which is a
				listed or characteristic waste under Section 3001 of RCRA.
(a) Such notification must include a
				description of any such wastes discharged, specifying the volume and
				concentration of such wastes and the type of discharge (continuous, batch, or
				other), identifying the hazardous constituents contained in the listed wastes
				and estimating the volume of hazardous wastes expected to be discharged during
				the following twelve months. The notification must take place within 180 days
				of the effective date of this Rule. This requirement shall not apply to
				pollutants already reported under the requirements of a SID Permit.
(b) Dischargers are exempt from these
				reporting requirements during a calendar month in which they generate no more
				than 100 kilograms of hazardous wastes, unless the wastes are acute hazardous
				wastes as specified in
				40 CFR
				261.5(e), (f), (g) and (j)
				(1994). Generation of more than 100 kilograms of hazardous wastes in any given
				month requires a one-time notification. Subsequent months during which the
				industrial user generates more than 100 kilograms of hazardous wastes do not
				require additional notification, except for acute hazardous wastes.
(c) In the case of new regulations under
				Section 3001 of RCRA identifying additional characteristics of hazardous wastes
				or listing any additional hazardous waste, the industrial user must notify of
				the discharge of such substance within 90 days of the effective date of such
				regulations.
(d) In the case of any
				notification, the industrial user shall certify that it has a program in place
				to reduce the volume and toxicity of the wastes to the degree it has determined
				to be economically practicable and that it has selected the method of
				treatment, storage, or disposal currently available which minimizes the present
				and future threat to human health and the environment.
