[Ord. No. 1209 Art. I, 6-13-1983]
It is determined and declared to be necessary and conducive
to the protection of the public health, safety, welfare and convenience
of the City to establish a pretreatment waste management program.
The form and content for such program for pretreatment waste management
shall be as set out in this Chapter.
[Ord. No. 1209 Art. I § 1, 6-13-1983]
A.
This Chapter sets forth uniform requirements for direct and indirect
contributors into the wastewater collection and treatment system for
the City and enables the City to comply with all applicable State
and Federal laws required by the Clean Water Act of 1977 and the General
Pretreatment Regulations (40 CFR, part 403).
B.
The objectives of this Chapter are:
1.
To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the Municipal wastewater
system which will interfere with the operation of the system or contaminate
the resulting sludge;
2.
To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the Municipal wastewater
system which will pass through the system, inadequately treated, into
receiving waters or the atmosphere or otherwise be incompatible with
the system;
3.
To improve the opportunity to recycle and reclaim wastewaters and
sludges from the system; and
4.
To provide for equitable distribution of the cost of the Municipal
wastewater system.
C.
This Chapter provides for the regulation of direct and indirect contributors
to the Municipal wastewater system through the issuance of permits
to certain non-domestic discharges, authorizes monitoring and enforcement
activities, requires user reporting and provides for the setting of
fees for the equitable distribution of costs resulting from the program
established herein.
D.
This Chapter shall apply to the City and to persons outside the City
who are, by contract or agreement with the City, users of the City
POTW. Except as otherwise provided herein, the City Administrator
is to enforce the provisions of this Chapter.
