(a) As specified at
				7:14A-16.3 and 16.4, the Department
				may reissue or modify a local agency's NJPDES permit to include IPP
				requirements as set forth in this subchapter.
(b) All local agencies, including those not
				required by
				7:14A-19.2(a) and
				(b) to establish an IPP, shall comply with
				the following IPP requirements:
1. All local
				agencies shall, pursuant to their permit or upon written request from the
				Department or whenever the local sewer use ordinance or rules and regulations
				are modified, submit a copy of the local sewer use ordinance or rules and
				regulations, including any amendments, to the Bureau of Pretreatment and
				Residuals in the Department at 401 East State Street, PO Box 029, Trenton, NJ
				08625-0029;
2. All local agencies
				shall identify and locate indirect users as specified below:
i. All delegated local agencies shall update
				their inventory of indirect users at a frequency and diligence adequate to
				ensure proper identification of indirect users subject to pretreatment
				standards, appropriate characterization of the nature of their discharges, and
				correct designation of indirect users as categorical, significant/major, or
				other regulated. This update shall be completed at a minimum frequency of once
				per year, and shall be included in the 40 CFR 403 Annual Report required under
				7:14A-19.6(f).
ii. Non-delegated local agencies shall submit
				an annual report, on forms provided by the Department, that consists of a
				listing of all indirect users that meet the significant indirect user
				definition in
				7:14A-1.2, and a statement whether
				the local agency accepts hauled wastes and, if so, the types of
				waste;
3. All local
				agencies shall develop local limits or demonstrate that such limits are not
				necessary in accordance with
				7:14A-19.7;
4. Of the amount of any penalty assessed and
				collected pursuant to an action brought by a local agency in accordance with
				58:10A-10, 10 percent shall be
				deposited in the Wastewater Treatment Operators' Training Account established
				in accordance with
				58:10A-14.5 and used to finance
				the cost of training operators of municipal treatment works. The remainder
				shall be used by the local agency solely for enforcement purposes and for
				upgrading municipal treatment works; and
5. Except as otherwise provided in
				47:1A-3, any records, reports, or
				other information obtained by a local agency pursuant to this paragraph or
				58:11-53, including any
				correspondence relating thereto, shall be available to the public. However,
				upon a showing satisfactory to the local agency by any person that the making
				public of any record, report, or information, or a part thereof, other than
				effluent data, would divulge methods or processes entitled to protection as
				trade secrets, the local agency shall consider such record, report, or
				information, or part thereof, to be confidential and access thereto shall be
				limited to authorized officers or employees of the Department, local agency,
				and the Federal government.
