A.
This
chapter sets uniform requirements for discharges into wastewater collection
and treatment system and enables the City to comply with the administrative
provisions of the Clean Water Act, the water quality requirements
set by the Regional Water Quality Control Board and the applicable
effluent limitations, national standards of performance, toxic and
pretreatment effluent standards, and any other discharge criteria
which are required or authorized by State or Federal law, and to derive
the maximum public benefit by regulating the quality and quantity
of wastewater discharged into those systems. This chapter provides
for the setting of user charges and fees for the equitable distribution
of costs to all users, the issuance of permits to certain users, authorizes
monitoring and enforcement activities, and requires user reporting.
Revenues derived from the application of this chapter shall be used
to defray the City's cost of operating and maintaining an adequate
wastewater collection and treatment system and to provide sufficient
funds for capital outlay, bond service costs, capital improvements
and depreciation.
B.
The
objectives of this chapter to comply with the Clean Water Act 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.

section, provided that:
The building, structure, facility, or installation is constructed
at a site at which no other source is located; or

the process or production equipment that causes the discharge of pollutants
at an existing source; or

are substantially independent, factors such as the extent to which
the new facility is integrated with the existing plant, and the extent
to which the new facility is engaged in the same general type of activity
as the existing source, should be considered.
Construction on a site at which an existing source is located
results in a modification rather than a new source if the construction
does not create a new building, structure, facility, or installation
meeting the criteria of subsection (1)(b) or (c) of this definition

within a reasonable time. Options to purchase or contracts which can
be terminated or modified without substantial loss, and contracts
for feasibility, engineering, and design studies do not constitute
a contractual obligation under this definition.

guest rooms for one or more guests, including, but not limited to,
motels, boarding houses, hotels, rooming houses, dormitories, fraternities,

POTW's NPDES permit. A user shall be deemed to have contributed to
the POTW's permit violation whenever the user:
Discharges a daily pollutant loading in excess of that allowed
by Federal, State, or local law or pursuant to the user's contract,
if any, with POTW;

or constituents from the user's average discharge; or
Discharges when such user knows or has reason to know that its
discharge, alone or in conjunction with discharges from other sources,
would result in a permit violation; or
