It is unlawful for any person to discharge, dump, spill or release
any wastewater to any storm drain, natural outlet, or watercourse
within the city.
(Ord. 13-2 § 3)
SRCSD may issue wastewater discharge permits to users.
(Ord. 13-2 § 3)
All wastewater discharge permit applications and user reports
must be signed by an authorized representative of the user in accordance
with SRCSD's Consolidated Ordinance, Chapter 2.
(Ord. 13-2 § 3)
A.
Users
required, or who may be required, to obtain a wastewater discharge
permit shall complete and file with SRCSD a wastewater discharge permit
application in the form prescribed by SRCSD. The application must
be completed and submitted as required by SRCSD's Consolidated Ordinance.
B.
SRCSD
shall evaluate the data furnished by the user and may require additional
information. After evaluation and acceptance of the data furnished,
SRCSD may issue a wastewater discharge permit subject to appropriate
conditions or may deny the permit application.
(Ord. 13-2 § 3)
Wastewater discharge permits shall be expressly subject to all
provisions of SRCSD's Consolidated Ordinance, sewer use charges and

(Ord. 13-2 § 3)
A.
The
city manager or SRCSD may immediately suspend a user's discharge,
after notice to the user, whenever such emergency suspension is necessary
to stop an actual or threatened discharge which in the city manager's
or SRCSD's opinion appears to present or cause an imminent or substantial
danger to the health or welfare of persons or threatens to substantially
interfere with the operation of the wastewater collection system,
or which presents, or may present, a danger to the environment. Such
notice shall, where time permits, be in the form of a cease and desist
order. Where, in the city manager's or SRCSD's opinion, the danger
posed by the discharge is such that it is infeasible, impractical
or dangerous to take the time necessary to issue a cease and desist
order, the notice to the user may be in the form of a telephone call
to the user or to the emergency contact listed in the user's wastewater
discharge permit.
B.
Any
user notified of an emergency suspension of its discharge shall immediately
stop or eliminate its discharge into the wastewater collection system.
In the event of a user's failure to immediately comply voluntarily
with the suspension order or inability of the city manager or SRCSD
to contact the user, the city manager may take such steps as the city
manager or SRCSD deems necessary to prevent or minimize damage to
the wastewater collection system or danger to any individuals, including
immediate severance of the sewer connection or discontinuing water
service. The city manager or SRCSD may allow the user to recommence
its discharge only after the user has demonstrated to the satisfaction
of the city manager or SRCSD that the period of emergency has passed,
unless proceedings are initiated by SRCSD to permanently terminate
the user's discharge pursuant to SRCSD's Consolidated Ordinance.
A user that is responsible, in whole or in part, for any discharge
requiring an emergency suspension shall submit a detailed written
statement, describing the causes of the harmful contribution and the
measures taken to prevent any further occurrence, to the city manager
or SRCSD prior to the date of any show cause or termination hearing.
Such user shall reimburse the city or SRCSD for all costs which the
city or SRCSD may incur as a result of such discharge or the imposition
of an emergency suspension.
C.
Nothing
in this section shall be interpreted as requiring a hearing prior
to any emergency suspension.
(Ord. 13-2 § 3)
Permit renewals shall be completed in accordance with SRCSD's
Consolidated Ordinance, Chapter 2.
