A. All Users required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit must apply using a form provided by the Director. Users must supply the Director the following information as part of the permit application if relevant to the Users operation unless waived by the Director.

1. Identifying information.

a. The name and physical address of the facility, the names of the operator / facility manager and owner, and the name and address of the point of contact; and

b. A description of activities, facilities, and plant production processes on the premises.

2. A list of any environmental control permits held by or for the facility.

3. A description of operations and facilities including:

a. A brief description of the operations, average rate of production, and industrial classification (SIC or NAICS codes) of the operation(s) conducted on site;

b. The number and type of employees, and proposed or actual hours of operation;

c. The type, amount, rate of production, and process used for each product produced;

d. The type and amount of raw materials used (average and maximum rates);

e. The raw materials and chemicals to be routinely stored at the facility (including products in rail cars and tank trucks located on site);

f. The types of wastes generated on a routine and periodic basis;

g. The times and durations when wastes will be discharged;

h. A schematic process diagram showing each process step, waste stream, treatment step, internal recycle, and point of discharge to the POTW. This diagram should identify which streams are subject to Categorical Pretreatment Standards;

i. Site plans, floor plans, mechanical and plumbing plans, and details to show all sewers, floor drains, and appurtenances by size, location, and elevation, and all points of discharge;

j. The sampling locations and provisions for monitoring discharges; and

k. Whether plans for wastewater facilities under Chapter 173-240 WAC have been developed, and their approval status (Engineering Report, Plans and Specifications, and an Operations and Maintenance Manual).

4. Flow data: The average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the POTW from each waste stream. Information shall be complete enough to allow use of the combined wastestream formula per Section 14.10.060(C) and 40 CFR Part 403.6(e) where applicable.

5. Pollutant data:

a. The Categorical Pretreatment Standards applicable to each regulated process;

b. The results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration, (and mass where required by the Standard or the Director), of regulated pollutants in the discharge from each regulated process; and

c. The estimated peak instantaneous, daily maximum, and long-term average discharge concentrations (and mass) based on the sampling results.

6. Sampling data to show samples are:

a. Representative of daily operations;

b. Taken just downstream from pretreatment facilities if such exist, or just downstream of the regulated process(es) if no pretreatment exists;

c. Collected as required by Section 14.10.400 of this Ordinance; and

d. Analyzed according to Section 14.10.390 of this Ordinance.

7. Information confirming BMPs. Where Standards specify a BMP or pollution prevention alternative, the User must include the information needed by the Director or the applicable Standard to determine whether BMPs are (or will be) implemented.

8. Any other information deemed necessary by the Director to prepare a discharge permit.

B. Incomplete or inaccurate applications will not be processed and will be returned to the User for revision. The Director shall be held harmless for delays caused by returned applications. (Ord. M-3970 §2, 2010)
