§ 40-257. Pretreatment facilities.

(a)

Users shall provide necessary pretreatment as required to comply with this article and shall achieve compliance with all pretreatment standards, including the prohibitions set out in this article above, within the time limitations specified by the EPA, the IEPA, or the director, whichever is more stringent.

(b)

Any facilities required for the pretreatment of wastewater to an acceptable level shall be provided, operated and maintained at the user's expense. Any significant user shall be required to obtain a pretreatment facilities permit from the IEPA.

(c)

Applications for any such pretreatment facilities permit, including detailed plans showing the pretreatment facilities and operating procedures together with such other information as may reasonable by deemed necessary by the director, shall be submitted to the director for review prior to the submittal of any such application to the IEPA. Any such applications shall be approved by the director and any such pretreatment facilities permit shall be issued by the IEPA before any construction of any pretreatment facilities commences. The review by the director of such applications, including plans and operating procedures, will in no way relieve any significant user from the responsibility of modifying such pretreatment facilities as necessary to produce an acceptable discharge to the wastewater facilities under the provisions of this article.
