| | THE DENTAL PRACTICE NOTIFIES THE CITY OF ANY CHANGES |
| | AFFECTING THE APPLICABILITY OF THIS CERTIFICATION. |
| | (4) |
| | DISPOSAL OF HAULED WASTE FROM DENTAL FACILITIES TO THE |
| | SANITARY SEWER IS PROHIBITED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION |
| | 90-126(B)(8). |
| | (M) |
| | CONTROL OF DISCHARGE. IF ANY WASTES OR WASTEWATERS ARE |
| | DISCHARGED, OR ARE PROPOSED TO BE DISCHARGED, TO THE |
| | WWF WHICH CONTAIN THE SUBSTANCES OR POSSESS THE |
| | CHARACTERISTICS ENUMERATED IN THIS SECTION AS |
| | PROHIBITED BY THIS ARTICLE, DO NOT MEET APPLICABLE |
| | PRETREATMENT STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS, AND/OR WHICH |
| | MAY HAVE A DELETERIOUS EFFECT UPON THE WWF, ITS |
| | PROCESSES, EQUIPMENT, OR RECEIVING WATERS, OR WHICH |
| | OTHERWISE CREATE A HAZARD TO LIFE OR CONSTITUTE A |
| | PUBLIC NUISANCE, THE CITY MAY: |
| | (1) |
| | REJECT THE WASTES OR DENY OR CONDITION THE INTRODUCTION |
| | OF NEW SOURCES OF WASTEWATER TO THE WWF; OR |
| | (2) |
| | REQUIRE THE INDUSTRIAL USER TO DEMONSTRATE THAT |
| | IN-PLANT IMPROVEMENTS WILL MODIFY THE DISCHARGE TO SUCH |
| | A DEGREE AS TO BE ACCEPTABLE; AND/OR |
| | (3) |

| | LOADS IMPOSED ON THE WWF BY SUCH DISCHARGE. SURCHARGE |
| | AMOUNTS SHALL BE ESTABLISHED BY A RESOLUTION OF THE |
| | CITY, TOGETHER WITH A SCHEDULE OF RATES AND FEES OF THE |
| | WWF. IMPOSITION OF INDUSTRIAL WASTE SURCHARGES FOR THE |
| | RECOVERY OF TREATMENT COSTS DOES NOT REPLACE OR |
| | SUPERSEDE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR PRETREATMENT FACILITIES, |
| | SHOULD THEY BE FOUND NECESSARY BY THE CITY. |
| | |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING, IT IS HELPFUL TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE |
| | LETTER ADDRESSING EACH ITEM ALONG WITH THE CITY |
