A. Permits and Approvals. The Industrial Pretreatment Regulations require acquisition of permits or approvals before certain activities may be performed. It shall be unlawful to conduct these regulated activities without first obtaining a written permit or approval. When a permit or approval has been issued pursuant to the Industrial Wastewater Pretreatment Regulations, it shall be unlawful to act in a manner which is inconsistent with such permit or approval.

B. Uses. The Industrial Pretreatment Regulations regulate types of wastewater discharges and require permits. It shall be unlawful to discharge wastewater contrary to the provisions of these Regulations and/or any permit issued under the provisions unless such use is considered to be legally nonconforming or otherwise exempt from the Industrial Pretreatment Regulations.

C. No Conflicting Licenses or Permits Shall be Issued. No license, permit, or approval for uses, buildings, or activity where the same would be in conflict with any provision of the Pierce County Industrial Pretreatment Regulations, shall be issued. In the event that conflicting licenses, permits, or approvals are issued, the most restrictive license, permit, or approval shall apply while any license, permit, or approval, if issued in conflict with the provisions hereof, shall be null and void.
