Section 134-20 EMERGENCY SUSPENSIONS OR TERMINATION
A.
The Administrator may suspend the wastewater permit of
an industrial user, for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days,
whenever such
suspension is necessary in order to stop an actual or threatened
discharge
which reasonably appears to present or cause an imminent or substantial
endangerment to the health or welfare of persons, interferes with the
operation
of the municipal wastewater system or which presents or may present an
endangerment to the environment.
B. Any
industrial user notified of a suspension of
its wastewater permit shall immediately stop or eliminate its
contribution.
In the event of an industrial user's failure to immediately
comply
voluntarily with the suspension order, the Administrator shall take
such steps
as deemed necessary, including immediate severance of the sewer
connection, to
prevent or minimize damage to the system, its receiving stream or
endangerment
to any individuals. The Administrator shall allow the industrial user
to
recommence its discharge when the user has demonstrated to the
satisfaction of
the Town that the period of endangerment has passed, unless proceedings
for
termination of the wastewater permit are initiated against the user.
C. An
industrial user which is responsible, in whole
or in part, for any discharge presenting imminent endangerment shall
submit a
detailed written statement describing the causes of the harmful
contribution
and the measures taken to prevent any future occurrence to the
Administrator
prior to the date of any show cause or termination hearing.
D.
In addition to the provisions in 134-17 of this Article, any
user who violates the following conditions is subject to discharge
termination:
1. Violation of
wastewater discharge permit conditions;
2. Failure to
accurately report the wastewater constituents and characteristics of
its
discharge;
3.
Failure to report significant changes in
operations or wastewater volume, constituents, and characteristics
prior to
discharge;
4.
Refusal of reasonable access to the user's premises
for the purpose of inspection, monitoring, or sampling, or
5.
Violation of the pretreatment standards in
