This Chapter sets forth requirements for discharge of commercial and industrial wastes to the sewer system of the City of Riverside. The objectives of this Chapter are:

To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the sewer system that will interfere with the operation of the sewer system or wastewater treatment facilities or damage the infrastructure or equipment;

To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the sewer system which will pass through wastewater treatment facilities into receiving waters without adequate treatment or otherwise be incompatible with the sewer system and treatment works;

To ensure that the quality of the wastewater sludge generated in the wastewater treatment process is maintained at a level which allows its use and disposal in compliance with applicable Statutes and regulations;

To protect personnel who may be affected by wastewater and sludge in the course of their employment and to protect the general public;

To provide for fees for the equitable distribution of the cost of operation, maintenance and improvement of the sewer system and wastewater treatment facilities;

To enable the City to comply with the City of Kansas City's requirements for discharge to Kansas City, Missouri's wastewater collection and treatment facilities;

To establish the responsibilities and duties of the users of the sewer system; and

To establish the authority of the City to enforce the provisions of this Chapter and to enable the City to assess penalties if these provisions are not met.

Notwithstanding any other pretreatment provision to the contrary, nothing contained in the Chapter or elsewhere shall be deemed to be a legally binding commitment under the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. Sections 1251 et seq., the Missouri Clean Water law, Sections 644.006 et seq., RSMo., and applicable regulations (40 CFR Part 403, 10 CSR 20-6.100) to undertake pretreatment implementation or enforcement activities beyond the minimum requirements of said Statutes and regulations. Nevertheless, the City maintains its discretionary authority to undertake pretreatment activities beyond the minimum required by said Statutes and regulations.

The Director may issue, deny, modify or revoke a wastewater discharge permit as described herein. Such actions may be appealed as described herein

Any new industrial user which will be a significant industrial user shall apply for and shall obtain a wastewater discharge permit prior to discharging to the POTW except as otherwise described in Subsection (H) of this Section. Such application shall be submitted to the Director one hundred twenty (120) days prior to any proposed discharge.

Any significant industrial user which significantly alters or adds to its operation, processes or wastewater volume or character shall apply for and shall obtain a new permit prior to making the alteration. Such application shall be submitted to the Director sixty (60) days prior to any alteration in discharge. This sixty (60) day notice may be waived by the Director for alterations which reduce the total quantity of wastewater or pollutants discharged.

Any existing industrial user which becomes a significant industrial user due to any increase or change in the industrial user's contribution of pollutants to the POTW or due to the enactment or revision of this Chapter or promulgation or revision of a categorical standard shall submit a wastewater discharge permit application within one hundred twenty (120) days after the effective date of this Chapter or within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date it becomes a significant industrial user, whichever is later.

Any violation of wastewater discharge permit requirements or conditions shall be a violation of this Chapter. Compliance with a wastewater discharge permit does not relieve the permittee of responsibility for compliance with this Chapter, with all applicable Federal and State pretreatment standards and requirements or with any other requirements of Federal, State or local Statutes or regulations.

No significant industrial user shall:

Discharge anything into the POTW without having first obtained a valid wastewater discharge permit; or

Discharge anything into the POTW when its wastewater discharge permit has been suspended, revoked or has expired; or

Discharge anything into the POTW in excess of or in contravention of the provisions of its wastewater discharge permit.

Any existing facility which has complied with Subsection (C) of this Section shall be exempt from the requirements of Subsection (F) of this Section pending the Director's decision on the issuance of a permit.

Upon finding that an industrial user, who is not subject to categorical pretreatment standards but otherwise meets the criteria for being a significant industrial user, has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard, the Director may at any time determine that such industrial user is not a significant industrial user.

The Director may require other industrial users to obtain wastewater discharge permits as necessary to carry out the purposes of this Chapter.

Any industrial user found to be in violation of this Chapter or of any wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder is subject to termination of water and/or sewer service.

Section 707.530 Show Cause Hearing.

[R.O. 2011 §707.530; Ord. No. 2004-04 §1, 1-20-2004]

The Director may order any person which causes or contributes to violation(s) of this Chapter, wastewater discharge permits or orders issued hereunder or any other pretreatment standard or pretreatment requirement to appear before the Director and show cause why a proposed enforcement action should not be taken. Notice shall be served on the person specifying the time and place for the hearing, the proposed enforcement action, the reasons for such action and a request that the person show cause why this proposed enforcement action should not be taken. The notice of the hearing shall be served personally or by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) at least seven (7) days prior to the hearing. Such notice may be served on any authorized representative of the industrial user. A show cause hearing shall not be a prerequisite for taking any other action and shall not otherwise limit the Director's authority to proceed under this Chapter during the pendency of the show cause proceedings.

Section 707.540 Emergency Suspensions.

[R.O. 2011 §707.540; Ord. No. 2004-04 §1, 1-20-2004]

The Director may immediately suspend water and or sewer service to an industrial user whenever such suspension is necessary in order to stop an actual or threatened discharge which reasonably appears to present or cause an imminent or substantial endangerment to the health or welfare of persons, which threatens to interfere with the operation of the POTW, or which presents or may present an endangerment to the environment.

Any industrial user notified of a suspension of water and/or sewer service shall immediately stop or eliminate its discharge. If an industrial user fails to immediately comply with the suspension order, the Director shall take such steps as are deemed necessary, including immediate severance of the sewer connection and termination of water service, to prevent or minimize damage to the POTW, the receiving stream or endangerment to any individuals. The Director shall allow the industrial user to recommence its discharge when the industrial user has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Director that the period of endangerment has passed, unless the termination proceedings set forth in Section 707.520 are initiated against the industrial user.

An industrial user that is responsible, in whole or in part, for any discharge presenting imminent endangerment shall submit a detailed written statement describing the cause(s) of the harmful discharge and the measures taken to prevent any future occurrence to the Director, prior to the date of any show cause or termination hearing under Sections 707.520 and 707.530.

Nothing in this Section shall be interpreted as requiring a hearing prior to any emergency suspension under this Section.

Section 707.550 Remedies Non-Exclusive.

[R.O. 2011 §707.550; Ord. No. 2004-04 §1, 1-20-2004]

The provisions in Sections 707.460 through 707.540 are not exclusive remedies. The Director may take any, all or any combination of these actions against a non-complying industrial user. Nothing in this Chapter is intended to limit the enforcement discretion of the City.

All surcharge, permit application, permit maintenance and/or sampling and testing revenue collected in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter shall be deposited with the City of Riverside in the same separate fund as is the revenue collected for the normal sewer service charge. All such revenue shall be used to pay the cost of constructing, operating, maintaining and enlarging the existing or future wastewater works of the City and to pay the principal and interest of sewer revenue bands.

Section 707.580 Confidential Information.

[R.O. 2011 §707.580; Ord. No. 2004-04 §1, 1-20-2004]

Information and data about an industrial user obtained from reports, surveys, wastewater discharge permit applications, wastewater discharge permits, monitoring programs and from inspection and sampling activities shall be available to the public unless the industrial user specifically requests otherwise and is able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Director that the information is not required to be disclosed under Missouri or Federal law. When the industrial user has demonstrated that such information should be held confidential, the portions of a report which might disclose the confidential information shall not be made available for inspection by the public but shall be made available upon request to governmental agencies for uses related to the NPDES program or pretreatment program and in enforcement proceedings involving the person furnishing the report. The City shall be permitted to introduce any admissible evidence it deems necessary in any criminal prosecution without regard to the request for confidentiality under this Section. Wastewater constituents and characteristics and other "effluent data" as defined by 40 CFR 2.302 shall not be recognized as confidential information and shall be available to the public.
