Publicly owned treatment works pretreatment program requirements

1. Each publicly owned treatment works pretreatment program shall satisfy the program element requirements described in appendix A. 2. The publicly owned treatment works may request conditional approval of the pretreatment program pending the acquisition of funding and personnel for certain elements of the program. The publicly owned treatment works shall describe in the submission the mechanism by which the funding will be acquired. The request for conditional approval must satisfy the requirements of section 33.1-16-01.1-07, except that the requirements may be relaxed if the submission demonstrates that: a. A limited aspect of the program does not need to be implemented immediately; b. The publicly owned treatment works has adequate legal authority and procedures to carry out those aspects of the program which will not be implemented immediately; and c. Funding and personnel for the program aspects to be implemented at a later date will be available when needed. 3. Upon receipt of a request for conditional approval, the department will establish a fixed date for the acquisition of the needed funding and personnel. If funding is not acquired by this date, the conditional approval of the pretreatment program and any removal allowances granted to the publicly owned treatment works may be modified or withdrawn.
