[Code 1993, § 13.30(3)]
Whenever the utility finds that any industrial user has violated, or is violating, this article, the wastewater discharge permit or any prohibition, limitation or requirement contained in this article, the utility may serve a written notice on such user, stating the nature of the violation. Within 30 days of the date of the notice, a plan for the satisfactory correction thereof shall be submitted to the utility by the industrial user. If the plan is satisfactory to the utility and the industrial user complies with the plan, the utility may not take further action against the industrial user. If the industrial user does not comply with the plan, the utility may take action in accordance with §
82-185.
[Code 1993, § 13.30(5)]
If any industrial user discharges sewage, industrial wastes or other wastes into the utility's POTW contrary to the provisions of this article, federal or state pretreatment requirements, or any order of the utility, the utility's attorney may commence an action for appropriate legal and/or equitable relief in the appropriate court. The utility may take further action pursuant to §§
82-182 and
82-186.
[Code 1993, § 13.30(6)]
Any industrial user subject to this article shall, for no less
than three years, retain and preserve any records, books, documents,
memoranda, reports, correspondence, and any and all summaries thereof,
relating to monitoring, sampling and chemical analyses made by, or
on behalf of, an industrial user in connection with its discharge.
All records which pertain to matters which are the subject of any
enforcement or litigation activities brought by the city pursuant
to this article shall be retained and preserved by the industrial
user until all enforcement activities have concluded and all periods
of limitation with respect to any and all appeals have expired.
[Code 1993, § 13.30(8)]
A list of the users which, during the preceding 12 months, were
significantly violating applicable pretreatment requirements or standards,
shall be published annually in a local newspaper. The term "significant
violation" means a violation which remains uncorrected for a period
of 45 days after notification of noncompliance, a violation which
includes a pattern of noncompliance over a twelve-month period or
a violation which includes the failure of the user to accurately report
noncompliance. The publication shall also summarize any enforcement
action taken against the user during such twelve-month period.
[Code 1993, § 13.23(4)]
The utility shall inspect the facilities of any industrial user
to ascertain whether the purposes of this article are being met and
all requirements are being complied with. Persons or occupants of
premises where wastewater is created or discharged shall allow the
utility or their representative ready access, at all reasonable, times
to all parts of the premises for the purposes of inspection, sampling,
records examination or in the performance of any of their duties.
The utility, DNR and EPA shall have the right to set up on the industrial
user's property such devices as are necessary to conduct sampling,
inspection, compliance monitoring and/or metering operations. Where
an industrial user has security measures in force which would require
proper identification and clearance before entry into their premises,
the industrial user shall make necessary arrangements with its security
guards so that, upon presentation of suitable identification, personnel
from the utility, DNR and EPA will be permitted to enter, without
delay, for the purpose of performing their specific responsibilities.
[Code 1993, § 13.23(7)]
Sludges, floats, skimmings, etc., generated by an industrial
