               All significant industrial users shall obtain a significant industrial user permit
               prior to the commencement of discharge to the POTW. Existing users who are determined
               by the POTW director to be significant industrial users shall obtain a significant
               industrial users permit within 180 days of receiving notification of the POTW director's
               determination. Users who do not fit the significant industrial users criteria may
               at the discretion of the POTW director be required to obtain a wastewater discharge
               permit for nonsignificant users. This requirement is not intended to require existing
               permittees to obtain new permits but will allow the existing permits to be retained
               as issued by the county industrial pretreatment program, except for necessary changes
               due to the change of authority.
