6.65.070 No permit transfer or assignment.
Wastewater discharge permits are issued to a specific user for a specific operation at a specific location for a specified time and create no vested rights. No wastewater discharge permit shall be assigned, transferred, pledged or sold to a new owner, new user, or different premises.
A. When the permittee is a legal entity (such as a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or other legal entity), the permittee is deemed to have undergone a change of ownership when any other legal entity or person acquires a direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 50 percent of the total ownership interest in the permittee. The permit is void if an attempt is made to assign, transfer, pledge or sell the permit to a new owner, new user, or a different premises.
B. At least 30 days prior to the sale or change of ownership of any business operating under a permit, the permittee shall notify the district and/or SAWPA in writing of the proposed sale or change of ownership. The successor owner shall apply to the district for a new permit at least 15 days prior to the sale or change of ownership in accordance with the provisions of this division. A successor owner shall not discharge any wastewater for which a permit is required by this division until a new permit or letter to discharge is issued to the successor owner.
C. The written notification of intended sale or change of ownership shall be in a form approved by district and/or SAWPA and shall include a written certification by the new owner or authorized representative, which shall include as a minimum:
1. The specific date on which the sale or change of ownership is to occur; and
2. An acknowledgement to comply with all the terms, conditions, limits, and provisions of this division and the new permit or letter to discharge.
D. In the event that the general manager determines that any person is discharging industrial wastewater directly or indirectly to the Inland Empire Brine Line without a valid permit, the general manager may issue to such person a temporary wastewater discharge permit (temporary permit) containing such conditions, limitations, restrictions, and other provisions or requirements which the general manager determines are necessary or advisable to protect the Inland Empire Brine Line system and to assure compliance with all federal, state, district and SAWPA discharge requirements. This temporary permit shall be enforceable until such time as a permit is issued. The discharger shall immediately comply with all of the provisions and requirements of such temporary permit, and shall apply for a permit within 30 days from the issuance of the temporary permit. A temporary permit is revocable by the general manager at any time. Any person whose temporary permit is revoked shall immediately cease and desist all discharge of any industrial wastewaters. (Ord. 389 § 4.7, 2018)
6.65.080 Wastewater discharge contract capacity rights.
Except as otherwise provided in WMWDC 6.65.090, no user shall exceed its wastewater discharge capacity right into the Brine Line or tributaries thereto. Whenever a user’s monthly average flow exceeds the user’s wastewater discharge permit capacity right, the user shall notify the appropriate member agency or contract agency and SAWPA within five calendar days of discovering the exceedance. If the monthly average flow exceedance is an isolated event, then the user shall be liable for costs incurred with the additional wastewater discharge in excess of the purchased discharge capacity right. If the daily exceedance is a necessary part of the user’s business activities, then the user shall, within five calendar days, make application to acquire and pay for sufficient additional wastewater discharge capacity right in the Brine Line or tributaries thereto which shall be retroactive to the date of the exceedance. The additional purchased capacity right shall result in a wastewater discharge capacity right that exceeds the user’s daily flow by 10 percent or as approved by the general manager. Any user who fails to purchase the additional wastewater discharge capacity right when required shall be subject to enforcement actions. (Ord. 389 § 4.8, 2018)
6.65.090 Operational emergency discharge.
Notwithstanding the provisions of WMWDC 6.65.080, if due to an operational emergency, a user must discharge in excess of its existing wastewater discharge capacity right, then, after providing the general manager with at least two business days’ advance notice if practicable, the user may do so for a period not to exceed 180 days without incurring the obligation to purchase an additional wastewater discharge capacity right; provided, that the user fully complies with the provisions of this section, this division, permit conditions at all times, and pays for such discharge as determined by the general manager.
A. As used herein, “operational emergency” shall mean an equipment breakdown or other malfunction which causes the user to discharge in excess of its existing treatment and disposal capacity right in the Brine Line.
B. Prior to or by the next business day following the commencement of the emergency discharge the user shall provide written notice to the general manager identifying:
1. The nature of the emergency requiring the excess discharge;
2. The anticipated duration of the excess discharge; and
3. The name of the user’s employee whom the general manager may contact for further information.
C. The general manager may order that such emergency discharges cease immediately or impose on the discharger such requirements as the general manager deems appropriate and necessary to protect the district’s and/or SAWPA’s facilities and interest, including the Brine Line and tributaries thereto, and OCSD’s POTW.
D. User shall pay to the district a surcharge on the flow exceeding the user’s existing wastewater discharge capacity right, in addition to the payment of the volumetric, BOD and TSS charges for the entire daily flow. The surcharge shall be applied to the excess flow, BOD and TSS and be calculated using the rate established annually by resolution of the board of directors.
E. If upon expiration of the 180-day period the user’s daily flow continues to exceed the user’s existing wastewater discharge capacity right, then the user shall immediately acquire additional increments of wastewater discharge capacity right pursuant to WMWDC 6.65.080.
F. A user causing or making an operational emergency discharge shall be liable for any surcharges, fees, fines, penalties, damages, legal expenses, attorney’s fees, administrative and overhead costs, and other direct or indirect costs incurred by the district and/or SAWPA as a result of such discharge. (Ord. 389 § 4.9, 2018)
6.65.100 Liquid waste hauler permits.
Prior to discharging any wastewater to the Brine Line or tributaries thereto, users hauling and disposing of wastewater to a collection station must apply for and obtain a separate liquid waste hauler permit from SAWPA. This permit is separate and in addition to the wastewater discharge permit required for each wastewater indirect discharger or generator. For additional information, see SAWPA Ordinance No. 8, Article 4. (Ord. 389 § 4.10, 2018)
6.65.110 Collection stations.
A. Nothing in this division precludes the use of an alternate collection station in the event of an emergency or planned maintenance activity that disrupts service provided at the primary collection station.
B. Collection stations shall be operated as agreed per either a wastewater discharge permit or a memorandum of understanding between SAWPA and the operating agency with concurrence from OCSD. (Ord. 389 § 4.11, 2018)
6.65.120 Groundwater, surface runoff, and subsurface drainage.
A. The discharge of groundwater, surface runoff, or subsurface drainage directly or indirectly to the Brine Line is prohibited unless determined by the general manager that there is no alternative method of disposal reasonably available and to mitigate an environmental risk or health hazard.
B. Stormwater discharges to the Brine Line are not authorized. The general manager may provide authorization for stormwater discharges that comply with SAWPA’s policy, which is based on OCSD’s policy.
1. Unless permitted to do so in accordance with subsection A of this section, no user shall allow wastewater and stormwater to mix before discharging to the Brine Line.
C. Applications for consideration under subsection A of this section shall be submitted to the general manager and shall include all information deemed necessary by the general manager. Information may include but is not limited to:
1. Completed permit application;
2. Detailed site information including but not limited to structure locations, pavements, grades, storm drain facilities, hydrologic calculations;
3. Documentation justifying a need to discharge surface runoff to the Brine Line or tributaries thereto to prevent surface and subsurface water contamination;
4. A description of the facilities to be provided and required operation and maintenance by the user to prevent the pollution of stormwater by industrial waste and waste generated by the user. (Ord. 389 § 4.12, 2018)
6.65.130 Wastewater from outside the SAWPA Brine Line service area.
Any industrial user outside of SAWPA’s Inland Empire Brine Line service area proposing to discharge wastewater directly or indirectly within SAWPA’s Inland Empire Brine Line service area must first obtain approval from SAWPA’s commission and OCSD’s general manager before a permit may be issued to discharge under this division per WMWDC 6.55.120. Such approval will be on a case-by-case basis and at the sole discretion of the commission and OCSD. Such approval does not constitute a vested entitlement to discharge. If such approval is provided, in addition to any other conditions imposed by the SAWPA’s commission and OCSD’s general manager, the industrial user shall comply with the following conditions:
A. SAWPA requires that the existing sewering agency having jurisdiction for the industrial user location outside SAWPA’s Inland Empire Brine Line service area be added as a co-signer to SAWPA’s MJPA and assume all pretreatment program responsibilities as required by SAWPA. The MJPA will specifically allow SAWPA in conjunction with the member agency or contract agency to issue a permit and conduct the pretreatment program at the industrial user’s site. For agency owned facilities, SAWPA shall be the sole signatory and SAWPA alone shall issue the permit to the agency;
B. If an industrial user outside SAWPA’s Inland Empire Brine Line service area is allowed to discharge to the SARI Line, the industrial user shall not co-sign SAWPA’s MJPA, nor is the industrial user considered a contract agency. The industrial user shall abide by all SAWPA pretreatment program requirements;
C. The industrial user shall provide written site access authorization to SAWPA and OCSD to conduct monitoring and for site inspections; and
D. The industrial user shall have a contract with a SAWPA permitted liquid waste hauler if operating as an indirect discharger.
Except for an emergency, a threat to the health, safety and welfare of the community or SAWPA, or a failure to comply with, or a violation of, this division and related resolutions, SAWPA will endeavor to provide 90 days’ advance written notice prior to terminating a discharge permit issued to a generator located outside the Inland Empire Brine Line service area. The SAWPA general manager may terminate or revoke a permit issued under this section as provided in SAWPA Ordinance No. 8.
Subject to applicable legal requirements, the rates charged to the generator may be adjusted by SAWPA as necessary to recover costs incurred. Permit and disposal fees for generators and/or liquid waste hauler permittees are determined by SAWPA commission resolution. (Ord. 389 § 4.13, 2018)
