(1) The Town is obligated under federal law to identify all users potentially subject to the pretreatment program, and the character and volume of pollutants discharged by such users. To satisfy this requirement, all sources of nondomestic discharges to the POTW must, upon request of the Public Works Superintendent, periodically complete an industrial user survey form. Users shall fully disclose the information requested and sign the completed form in accordance with subsections (2) and (3) of this section. Proper completion of survey requirements is a condition of initial and continued discharge to the public sewer system. Users failing to fully comply with survey requirements within 30 days shall be subject to all enforcement measures authorized under this chapter including termination of service. The Public Works Superintendent is authorized to prepare several forms for this purpose and require completion of the particular form which the Public Works Superintendent determines appropriate to provide the information needed to categorize each user. The Public Works Superintendent shall be authorized to categorize each user, provide written notice of a user’s categorization and what it means, and revise this categorization at any time.

(2) All survey forms, wastewater discharge permit applications, and user reports must be signed by an authorized representative of the user and contain the following certification statement:

“I certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and imprisonment for knowing violations.”

(3) Users shall submit a new authorization if the designation of an authorized representative is no longer accurate. This includes when a different individual or position has responsibility for the overall operation of the facility, or overall responsibility for environmental matters for the company. The user must submit the new authorization prior to or with any reports to be signed by the new authorized representative. (Ord. 445-N, §1, 2014)
