Non-Mining MSGP 2010 General Permit
18. Request for an Individual Permit.
a. A permittee may request an exclusion from coverage of a general permit by applying for
an individual permit.
i. The permittee shall submit an individual permit application under R18-9-B901(B) and
include the reasons supporting the request no later than 90 days after publication of the
general permit.
ii. The Director shall grant the request if the reasons cited by the permittee are adequate to
support the request.
b. If an individual permit is issued to a person otherwise subject to a general permit, the
applicability of the general permit to the discharge is automatically terminated on the effective
date of the individual permit.
19. Transfer of Coverage
a. Transfer of coverage from one operator to a different operator (e.g., facility sold to a new
company): the new owner/ operator must complete and file a Notice of Intent in accordance
with Part 1.3.1 at least 5 days prior to taking over operational control of the facility. The old
owner/ operator must file a Notice of Termination within thirty (30) days after the new owner/
operator has assumed responsibility for the facility.
b. Simple name changes of the permittee (e.g., Company “A” changes name to “ABC, Inc.”)
may be done by filing an amended Notice of Intent referencing the facility’s assigned permit
number and requesting a simple name change.
20. Bypass
a. Definitions.
1 Bypass means the intentional diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment
facility
2 Severe property damage means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the
treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and
permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the
absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by
delays in production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations. The permittee may allow any bypass to occur that does
not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to
assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the provisions Appendix B,
Subsections 20.c and 20.d.
c. Notice
1 Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, prior
notice shall be submitted at least ten days before the date of the bypass.
2 Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as
required in Appendix B, Subsection 12.d.
d. Prohibition of bypass.
1. Bypass is prohibited, and ADEQ may take enforcement action against the permittee for
bypass, unless:
i. Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury, or severe
property damage;
ii. There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary
treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes, or maintenance during normal
periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate back-up
equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering
