§ 106-121. Permit suspension and revocation.

User permits may be suspended or permanently revoked by the POTW for any reason determined necessary by the POTW to assure compliance with the requirements of this article, the POTW's NPDES permit, or other applicable laws and regulations, including, without limitation, any of the following reasons:

(1)

Falsifying self-monitoring reports.

(2)

Tampering with monitoring equipment.

(3)

Failure to allow timely and reasonable access to the permittee's premises and records by representatives of the POTW for purposes authorized by this article, including, without limitation, inspection or monitoring.

(4)

Failure to meet effluent limitations.

(5)

Failure to pay fines or penalties.

(6)

Failure to pay sewer charges.

(7)

Failure to pay permit fees.

(8)

Failure to meet compliance schedules.

(9)

Failure to comply with any term or condition of the permit, an order, the requirements of this article, or any final judicial order entered with respect thereto.

(10)

Failure to comply with any reporting or notice requirement.

(11)

Failure to disclose fully all relevant facts in the permit application or during the permit issuance process, or misrepresentation of any relevant fact at any time.

(12)

Failure to complete a wastewater survey or the user permit application.

(13)

As determined by the POTW, the discharge permitted by the permit has a reasonable potential to endanger human health or the environment and the threat can be abated only by suspension or revocation of the permit.

Upon suspension or revocation of a permit, a user shall immediately terminate its discharge to the POTW and shall not thereafter recommence discharge without further authorization from the POTW superintendent as provided by this article. The POTW may reissue a revoked permit upon a showing satisfactory to the POTW superintendent that the permittee has corrected the violation or condition that led to the revocation. A person who has had a permit revoked may apply for a new permit.
