In addition to the reporting requirements of section 8(10) of this rule, permits issued to any manufacturing, commercial, mining, or silvicultural discharger shall contain conditions requiring the discharger to notify the commissioner as soon as the discharger knows or has reason to know the following:

This notification level may exceed the levels specified in clause (A), (B), or (C) but may not exceed the level which can be achieved by the technology-based treatment requirements applicable to the permittee under the CWA (see 327 IAC 5-5-2).(2) That the discharger has begun or expects to begin to use or manufacture, as an intermediate or final product or byproduct, any toxic pollutant that was not reported in the permit application under 40 CFR 122.21(g)(9). However, this subdivision does not apply to the permittee's use or manufacture of a toxic pollutant solely under research or laboratory conditions.Water Pollution Control Board; 327 IAC 5-2-9; filed Sep 24, 1987, 3:00 p.m.: 11 IR 622; filed Apr 9, 2003, 2:55 p.m.: 26 IR 2613Readopted filed 10/18/2024, 1:57 p.m.: 20241113-IR-327230810RFA
