Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a)
				B.P.D.E.S. permit.
(1) No industrial user
				shall discharge, or cause to be discharged, any industrial wastewaters directly
				or indirectly to sewerage facilities owned by the Buffalo Sewer Authority
				without first applying for a B.P.D.E.S. permit for industrial wastewater
				discharge. After review and evaluation of the application, the B.S.A. may issue
				that person a B.P.D.E.S. permit or require him to enter into an industrial
				waste agreement with the authority. As a condition for issuance of a permit,
				the B.S.A. may require that any user of the authority's facilities shall enter
				into a contractual agreement for a period of one year with provisions for
				renewal of such agreements as may be required by the general manager. At a
				minimum, all significant industrial users shall be issued permits.
(2) The authority may deny or condition any
				new or increased discharge to its system or discharges which have changed with
				respect to their physical or chemical character if, in the opinion of the
				general manager, such discharge would not be in compliance with applicable
				Federal or State or local pretreatment standards and requirements or where such
				discharge would cause the authority to violate its SPDES permit, inhibit or
				interfere with the operation and maintenance of the authority's collection and
				treatment facilities, or concentrate in the sludge and interfere with its
				disposal by approved methods.
(3)
				If the volume or character of the waste to be treated is determined by the
				B.S.A. to be in compliance with all pertinent Federal, State and local
				regulations and, not to cause overloading of the sewage collection, treatment,
				or disposal facilities of the B.S.A., then prior to approval, the general
				manager and the person making the discharge shall enter into an agreement which
				provides that the discharger pay a sewer rent and/or industrial waste
				surcharge, as outlined in the latest edition of the B.S.A. Schedule of Sewer
				Rents and Other Charges (see Appendix 52 of this Title).
(4) If the volume or character of the waste
				to be treated by the B.S.A. requires that wastewater collection, treatment, or
				other disposal facilities of the authority be improved, expanded, or enlarged
				in order to treat or convey the waste, then prior to approval, the B.S.A. and
				the person making the discharge shall enter into an agreement which provides
				that the discharger pay in full all added costs the authority may incur due to
				acceptance of the waste.
(5) A
				B.P.D.E.S. permit may require pretreatment of industrial wastewaters before
				discharge, restriction of peak flow discharges, discharge of certain wastewater
				only to specified sewers, relocation of points of discharge, prohibition of
				discharge of certain wastewater components, restriction of discharge to certain
				hours of the day, payment of additional charges to defray increased costs of
				the authority created by the wastewater discharges and such other conditions as
				may be required to effectuate the purpose of these regulations.
(6) No B.P.D.E.S. permit is transferable
				without the prior written consent of the general manager.
(7) No person shall discharge industrial
				wastewaters in excess of the quantity or quality limitations set by his
				B.P.D.E.S. permit. Any person desiring to discharge wastewaters or use
				facilities which are not in conformance with his B.P.D.E.S. permit must apply
				to the general manager for an amended permit. Such amended permit shall be
				granted provided that its terms shall comply with these regulations.
