discharge of pollutants, the construction of which commenced after the publication
of proposed pretreatment standards under Section 307(c) of the Act which will be
applicable to such source if such standards are thereafter promulgated in accordance
with that section, provided that:
(a) The building, structure, facility, or installation is constructed at a site at which
no other source is located, or
(b) The building, structure, facility, or installation totally replaces the process or
production equipment that causes the discharge of pollutants at an existing
source; or
(c) The production or wastewater generating processes of the building, structure.
facility, or installation are substantially independent of an existing source at the
same site. In determining whether these are substantially independent, factors
such as the extent to which the new facility is integrated with the existing plant,
and the extent to which the new facility is engaged in the same general type of
activity as the existing source, should be considered.
(2) Construction on a site at which an existing source is located results in a modification
rather than a new source if the construction does not create a new building,
structure, facility, or installation meeting the criteria of Section (1)(b) or (c) above

The above limits apply at the point where the wastewater is discharged to the POTW. All
concentrations for metallic substances are for "total" metal unless indicated otherwise. The
Superintendent may impose mass limitations in addition to, or in place of, the concentration -based
limitations above.
Upon the promulgation of the National Categorical Pretreatment Standard (NCPS) for a
particular user, the said standard, if more stringent then the limitations imposed under this chapter
for sources in that category, shall, when effective, immediately supersede the limitations and
conditions imposed under this ordinance. The Wastewater Superintendent shall notify all known
affected users of the applicable permitting and reporting requirements under 40 CFR 403.12.
2.5 Board's Right of Revision
The Board reserves the right to establish, by ordinance or in wastewater discharge permits, more
stringent standards or requirements on discharges to the POTW.
2.6 Dilution
No user shall ever increase the use of process water, or in any way attempt to dilute a discharge,
as a partial or complete substitute for adequate treatment to achieve compliance with a discharge
limitation unless expressly authorized by an applicable pretreatment standard or requirement. The
Superintendent may impose mass limitations on users who are using dilution to meet applicable
pretreatment standards or requirements, or in other cases when the imposition of mass limitations is
appropriate.
SECTION 3 - PRETREATMENT OF WASTEWATER
3.1 Pretreatment Facilities
Users shall provide wastewater treatment as necessary to comply with this ordinance and shall
achieve compliance with all categorical pretreatment standards, local limits, and the prohibitions set
out in Section 2.1 of this ordinance within the time limitations specified by EPA, the State, or the
Superintendent, whichever is more stringent. Any facilities necessary for compliance shall be
• provided, operated, and maintained at the user's expense. Detailed plans describing such facilities and
_14_
i operating procedures shall be submitted to the Superintendent for review, and shall be acceptable to
the Superintendent before such facilities are constructed. The review of such plans and operating
procedures shall in no way relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying such facilities as
necessary to produce a discharge acceptable to the City under the provisions of this ordinance.
3.2 Additional Pretreatment Measures
A. Whenever deemed necessary, the Superintendent may require users to restrict their
discharge during peak flow periods, designate that certain wastewater be discharged only
into specific sewers, relocate and /or consolidate points of discharge, separate sewage
wastestreams from industrial wastestreams, and such other conditions as may be
necessary to protect the POTW and determine the user's compliance with the
requirements of this ordinance.
B. The Superintendent may require any person discharging into the POTW to install and
maintain, on their property and at their expense, a suitable storage and flow- control
facility to ensure equalization of flow. A wastewater discharge permit may be issued
solely for flow equalization,
• C. Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be required to install and
maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter.
3.3 Accidental Discharge /Slug Control Plans
At least once every two (2) years, the Superintendent shall evaluate whether each significant
industrial user needs an accidental discharge /slug control plan. The Superintendent may require any
user to develop, submit for approval, and implement such a plan. Alternatively, the Superintendent
may develop such a plan for any user. An accidental discharge /slug control plan shall address, at a
minimum, the following:
A. Description of discharge practices, including nonroutine batch discharges;
B. Description of stored chemicals;
C. Procedures for immediately notifying the Superintendent of any accidental or slug
discharge, as required by Section 6.6 of this ordinance; and

6.8 Notice of Violation/Repeat Sampling and Reporting
If sampling performed by a user indicates a violation, the user must notify the Superintendent
within twenty -four (24) hours of becoming aware of the violation. The user shall also repeat the
sampling and analysis and submit the results of the repeat analysis to the Superintendent within thirty
(30) days after becoming aware of the violation. The user is not required to resample if the
Superintendent monitors at the user's facility at least once a month, or if the Superintendent samples
between the user's initial sampling and when the user receives the results of this sampling.
6.9 Notification of the Discharge of Hazardous Waste
A. Any user who commences the discharge of hazardous waste shall notify the POTW, the
EPA Regional Waste Management Division Director, and State hazardous waste
authorities, in writing, of any discharge into the POTW of a substance which, if otherwise
disposed of, would be a hazardous waste under 40 CFR Part 261. Such notification must
include the name of the hazardous waste as set forth in 40 CFR Part 261, the EPA
S hazardous waste number, and the type of discharge (continuous, batch, or other). If the
user discharges more than one hundred (100) kilograms of such waste per calendar month
to the POTW, the notification also shall contain the following information to the extent
such information is known and readily available to the user: an identification of the
hazardous constituents contained in the wastes, an estimation of the mass and
concentration of such constituents in the wastestream discharged during that calendar
month, and an estimation of the mass of constituents in the wastestream expected to be
discharged during the following twelve (12) months. All notifications must take place no
later than one hundred and eighty (130) days after the discharge commences. Any
notification under this paragraph need be submitted only once for each hazardous waste
discharged. However, notifications of changed conditions must be submitted under
Section 6.5 of this ordinance. The notification requirement in this section does not apply
to pollutants already reported by users subject to categorical pretreatment standards under
the self - monitoring requirements of Sections 6.1, 6.3, and 6.4 of this ordinance.
B. Dischargers are exempt from the requirements of paragraph A, above, during a calendar
month in which they discharge no more than fifteen (15) kilograms of hazardous wastes,
unless the wastes are acute hazardous wastes as specified in 40 CFR 261.30(d) and
261.33(e). Discharge of more than fifteen (15) kilograms of nonacute hazardous wastes
in a calendar month, or of any quantity of acute hazardous wastes as specified in 40 CFR
261.30(d) and 261.33(e), requires a one -time notification. Subsequent months during
which the user discharges more than such quantities of any hazardous waste do not
® require additional notification.

® 6.12 Timing
Written reports will be deemed to have been submitted on the date postmarked. For reports
which are not mailed, postage prepaid, into a mail facility serviced by the United States Postal
Service, the date of receipt of the report shall govern.
6.13 Record Keeping
Users subject to the reporting requirements of this ordinance shall retain, and make available
for inspection and copying, all records of information obtained pursuant to any monitoring activities
required by this ordinance and any additional records of information obtained pursuant to monitoring
activities undertaken by the user independent of such requirements. Records shall include the date,
exact place, method, and time of sampling, and the name of the person(s) taking the samples, the
dates analyses were performed; who performed the analyses; the analytical techniques or methods
used; and the results of such analyses. These records shall remain available for a period of at least
three (3) years. This period shall be automatically extended for the duration of any litigation
• concerning the user or the City of Greencastle or where the user has been specifically notified of a
longer retention period by the Superintendent.
SECTION 7 - COMPLIANCE MONITORING
7.1 Right of Entry: Inspection and Sampling
The Superintendent shall have the right to enter the premises of any user to determine whether
the user is complying with all requirements of this ordinance and any wastewater discharge permit
or order issued hereunder. Users shall allow the Superintendent ready access to all parts of the
premises for the purposes of inspection, sampling, records examination and copying, and the
performance of any additional duties.
A. Where a user has security measures in force which require proper identification and
clearance before entry into its premises, the user shall make necessary arrangements with
its security guards so that, upon presentation of suitable identification, the Superintendent
or his agent will be permitted to enter without delay for the purposes of performing
• specific responsibilities.
-31-
A B. The Superintendent or his agent shall have the right to set up on the user's property, or
require installation of, such devices as are necessary to conduct sampling and /or metering
of the user's operations.
C. The Superintendent may require the user to install monitoring equipment as necessary.
The facility's sampling and monitoring equipment shall be maintained at all times in a safe
and proper operating condition by the user at its own expense. All devices used to
measure wastewater flow and quality shall be calibrated at a minimum of once per year
to ensure their accuracy.
D. Any temporary or permanent obstruction to safe and easy access to the facility to be
inspected and/or sampled shall be promptly removed by the user at the written or verbal
request of the Superintendent and shall not be replaced. The costs of clearing such access
shall be born by the user.
E. Unreasonable delays in allowing the Superintendent or his agent access to the user's
premises shall be a violation of this ordinance.
7.2 Search Warrants
• If the Superintendent has been refused access to a building, structure, or property, or any part
thereof, and is able to demonstrate probable cause to believe that there may be a violation of this
ordinance, or that there is a need to inspect and/or sample as part of a routine inspection and sampling
program of the City designed to verify compliance with this ordinance or any permit or order issued
hereunder, or to protect the overall public health, safety and welfare of the community, then the
Superintendent may seek issuance of a search warrant from the Putnam County Circuit Court of
Greencastle, Indiana.
SECTION 8 - CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
Information and data on a user obtained from reports, surveys, wastewater discharge permit
applications, wastewater discharge permits, and monitoring programs, and from the Wastewater
Superintendent's inspection and sampling activities, shall be available to the public without restriction,
unless the user specifically requests, and is able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the
Superintendent, that the release of such information would divulge information, processes, or
® methods of production entitled to protection as trade secrets under applicable State law. Any such
-32-
0 request must be asserted at the time of submission of the information or data. When requested and
demonstrated by the user furnishing a report that such information should be held confidential, the
portions of a report which might disclose trade secrets or secret processes shall not be made available
for inspection by the public, but shall be made available immediately upon request to governmental
agencies for uses related to the NPDES program or pretreatment program, and in enforcement
proceedings involving the person furnishing the report. Wastewater constituents and characteristics
and other "effluent data" as defined by 40 CFR 2.302 will not be recognized as confidential
information and will be available to the public without restriction.
SECTION 9 - ADMINISTRATIVE ENFORCEMENT REMEDIES
9.1 Notification of Violation
When the Superintendent finds that a user has violated, or continues to violate, any provision
• of this ordinance, a wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment
standard or requirement, the Superintendent may serve upon that user a written Notice of Violation.
Within thirty (30) days of the receipt of this notice, an explanation of the violation and a plan for the
satisfactory correction and prevention thereof, to include specific required actions, shall be submitted
by the user to the Superintendent. Submission of this plan in no way relieves the user of liability for
any violations occurring before or after receipt of the Notice of Violation. Nothing in this section
shall limit the authority of the Superintendent to take any action, including emergency actions or any
other enforcement action, without first issuing a Notice of Violation.
9.2 Agreed Orders
The Superintendent may enter into Agreed Orders, assurances of voluntary compliance, or other
similar documents establishing an agreement with any user responsible for noncompliance. Such
documents will include specific action to be taken by the user to correct the noncompliance within
a time period specified by the document. Such documents shall have the same force and effect as the
