Industrial users shall provide necessary wastewater treatment as required to conform with this division and shall achieve compliance with all categorical pretreatment standards, local limits, and the prohibitions set out in sections 13.07.351 and 13.07.352 above, within the limitations specified by the EPA, the state, or the city manager, whichever is more stringent.
(b) 
Any facilities required to pretreat wastewater to a level acceptable to the city shall be provided, operated, and maintained at the industrial user’s expense. Detailed plans showing the pretreatment facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the city for review and shall be acceptable to the city before construction of the facility. The review of such plans and operating procedures will in no way relieve the industrial user from the responsibility of modifying the facility as necessary to produce an acceptable discharge to the city under the provisions of this division.

(a) 
Whenever deemed necessary, the city manager may require industrial users to restrict their discharge during peak flow periods, designate that certain wastewater be discharged only into specific sewers, relocate and/or consolidate points of discharge, separate sewage wastestreams from industrial wastestreams, and such other condition may be necessary to protect the POTW and determine the industrial user’s compliance with the requirements of this division.
(b) 
Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the city manager, they are necessary for the proper handling of wastewater containing excessive amounts of grease and oil, or sand; except that such interceptors shall not be required of residential users. All interception units shall be of a type and capacity approved by the city manager and shall be so located as to be easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Such interceptors shall be inspected, cleaned, and repaired regularly, as needed, at the owner’s expense.
(c) 
Industrial users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter.
(d) 
At no time shall a reading on an explosion hazard meter at the discharge into the POTW, or at any point in the POTW, be more than ten (10) percent of the lower explosive limit (LEL) of the meter.
(Ordinance 6444 adopted 1/3/22)
(a) 
The city manager may require any industrial user to develop and implement an accidental discharge/slug discharge control plan (SDCP).

(1) 
Description of discharge practices, including non-routine batch discharges;
(2) 
Description of stored chemicals and the proximity of these chemicals to any floor drains or sewers;
(3) 
Procedures for immediately notifying the POTW of any accidental or slug discharge, including any discharge that would violate any of the prohibited discharges in sections 13.07.351 and 13.07.352 of this division, with procedures for follow-up written notification within 5 business days;
(4) 
Procedures to prevent adverse impact from any accidental or slug discharge. Such procedures include, but are not limited to, inspection and maintenance of storage areas, handling and transfer of materials, loading and unloading operations, control of plant site runoff, worker training, building of containment structures or equipment, measures for containing toxic organic pollutants (including solvents), and/or measures and equipment for emergency response;
(5) 
A list of facility personnel (by name and title) that have an identified role to play in the implementation of the accidental discharge/slug control plan, indicating the responsibilities and authorities of each; and
(6) 
A certification statement from a qualified professional indicating that the plan is adequate.
