What happens when an industrial sewer permit is revoked

(a) The director may order a permit revoked as provided in this chapter or by law or upon a finding that the industrial user has violated this chapter, or of applicable laws or regulations. (b) An industrial user whose permit has been revoked shall immediately stop all discharges of any liquid-carried wastes covered by the permit to the sewer system. The director may disconnect or permanently block from the sewer system the industrial sewer connection of any industrial user whose permit has been revoked if such action is deemed necessary by the director to ensure compliance with the revocation order or if the director deems that there is an immediate hazard or threat to the public health, safety or welfare, to the environment, to the public sewer system, or to persons employed by the city. (c) An industrial user whose permit has been revoked shall apply for a new permit and pay all delinquent fees, charges, penalties, and such other sums as may be due to the department. Costs incurred by the department in revoking the prior issued permit and disconnecting the industrial sewer connection shall be paid by the industrial user before issuance of a new permit. (d) This provision does not preclude a person’s right to appeal the director’s order as provided herein and by the department’s rules. (e) The director’s order is not stayed pending any appeal. ; Sec. 14-5.4, R.O. 1990)
