2. The treatment works receives pollutants from indirect users which pass through or interfere with the operation of the treatment works or are otherwise subject to pretreatment standards.

(b) The Department shall require a local agency, or combination of treatment works operated by the same local agency, with a design flow of five MGD or less to establish an IPP if the nature or volume of industrial influent, treatment process upsets, violations of effluent limitations, contamination of municipal sludge, or other circumstances warrant the establishment of an IPP in order to prevent interference with the treatment works or pass through.

(c) Any local agency required to establish an IPP pursuant to (a) or (b) above shall develop and submit to the Department for approval an IPP in accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403 and the additional requirements of this subchapter. The local agency required to develop an IPP shall have a pretreatment program compliance schedule incorporated into the NJPDES permit at the time of issuance, re-issuance, or modification of the permit. The compliance schedule shall require the development and submission of an IPP which addresses the requirements of this subchapter no later than one year after receipt of written notification from the Department that such an IPP is required.
