Or. Admin. Code § 340-045-0063 - Industrial Waste Pretreatment
(1)
All owners of sewerage systems that receive industrial waste subject to federal
or state pretreatment standards will develop and implement a pretreatment
program for controlling those industrial contributors. The system owner must
submit the program to the Director for approval. DEQ pproval is considered a
Category III action as described in OAR
340-045-0027.
(2) The Director will review requests for
revisions of categorical pretreatment standards to reflect removals the
sewerage system achieves. Removal credits are only allowed if the Director
approves them.
(3) Both the owners
of sewerage systems receiving industrial wastes and the industrial contributors
must comply with applicable pretreatment provisions of the federal Clean Water
Act and DEQ's rules.
(4) Where a
question exists as to whether or not an industrial contributor falls within a
particular industrial subcategory, the Director will make a written finding and
submit it to the EPA Regional Enforcement Division Director for a final
determination, unless the Enforcement Division Director waives receiving the
Director's determination as provided in the federal regulations. In that case
the Director's determination is final.
(5) The owner of a sewerage system receiving
industrial waste is responsible for assuring that the industrial contributor
meets the prohibited discharge or categorical pretreatment standards
established by the United State Environmental Protection Agency or DEQ,
whichever is most limiting. The owner of the sewerage system may impose more
stringent pretreatment standards if the owner deems it necessary for properly
operating and maintaining the sewerage system or disposability of the sewage
sludge.
(6) The Director will
review requests for Fundamentally Different Factors variances and will either
deny them or concur with them and submit the concurrence to the United States
Environmental Protection Agency for approval, as provided in federal
regulations.
