(1) 
Users shall provide wastewater treatment as necessary to comply with the Industrial Pretreatment Code and shall achieve compliance with all categorical pretreatment standards, local limits, and the prohibitions set out in sections 4.006 through 4.014 within the time limitations specified by EPA, the state, or the City Manager, whichever is more stringent. Any facilities necessary for compliance shall be provided, operated, and maintained at the user's expense. Detailed plans describing such facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the City Manager for review, and shall be acceptable to the City Manager before such facilities are constructed. The review of such plans and operating procedures shall in no way relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying such facilities as necessary to produce a discharge acceptable to the City under the provisions of the Industrial Pretreatment Code.
(2) 
A user may be required to install pretreatment facilities or make plant or process modifications or implement pollution management practices as deemed necessary by the City Manager to meet the requirements of the Industrial Pretreatment Code.
(3) 
Whenever such facilities or modifications are required, they shall be constructed, installed, operated and maintained at the expense of the user and in a manner and within the time prescribed by the City Manager as to enable the City to comply with all applicable regulations and requirements or to protect the POTW or treatment process.
(4) 
Review and approval of proposed facilities or modifications by the City Manager will not in any way guarantee that these facilities or modifications will function in the required manner or attain the required results, nor shall it relieve an user of the responsibility of enlarging or otherwise modifying or replacing such facilities to accomplish the intended purpose and to meet the applicable standards, limitations and conditions of the Industrial Pretreatment Code and any individual wastewater discharge permit or discharge authorization issued to the user.
(5) 
Deadline for Compliance with Applicable Pretreatment Requirements.
(a) 
Compliance by existing sources covered by categorical pretreatment standards shall be within three years of the date the standard is effective unless a shorter compliance time is specified in the appropriate standard.
(b) 
The City Manager shall establish a final compliance deadline date for any existing source not covered by categorical pretreatment standards or for any categorical user when the local limits for said user are more restrictive than federal categorical pretreatment standards.
(c) 
New sources are required to comply with the applicable pretreatment standards within the shortest feasible time, not to exceed 90 days from the beginning of the discharge. New sources shall install, have in operating condition, and shall start up all pollution control equipment required to meet applicable pretreatment standards before beginning discharge.
(Ord. No. 6457, 5/15/2023)
(1) 
Whenever deemed necessary, the City Manager may require 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 conditions as may be necessary to protect the POTW and determine the user's compliance with the requirements of the Industrial Pretreatment Code.
(2) 
The City Manager may require any person discharging into the POTW to install and maintain, on their property and at their expense, a suitable storage and flow-control facility to ensure equalization of flow. An individual wastewater discharge permit may be issued solely for flow equalization.
(3) 
Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter.
(Ord. No. 6457, 5/15/2023)
(1) 
Users shall provide protection against accidental or slug discharges. The City Manager shall evaluate whether each SIU needs an accidental discharge/slug discharge control plan or other action to control slug discharges. The City Manager may require any user to develop, submit for approval, and implement such a plan or take such other action that may be necessary to control slug discharges. An accidental discharge/slug discharge control plan shall be provided and maintained at the user's cost and expense. Alternatively, the City Manager may develop such a plan for any user.
(2) 
An accidental discharge/slug discharge control plan shall address, at a minimum, the following:
(a) 
Description of discharge practices, including nonroutine batch discharges;
(b) 
Description of stored chemicals;
(c) 
Procedures for immediately notifying the City Manager of any accidental or slug discharge, as required by section 4.044;
(d) 
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; and
(e) 
Whenever the facility changes its operations in such a way as to change the potential for an accidental/slug discharge, the plan must be updated.
(Ord. No. 6457, 5/15/2023)
(1) 
Any hauled waste approved to be discharged into the POTW is subject to all the requirements in the Industrial Pretreatment Code.
(2) 
MWHs proposing to discharge waste to the septage receiving station at the POTW treatment plant shall apply for a mobile waste hauler discharge permit.
(3) 
With the exception of recreational vehicle waste and boat sewage, persons proposing to discharge waste to the RV disposal station shall request and be issued a Discharge Authorization Letter prior to discharge.
(4) 
Persons who wish to discharge recreational vehicle waste are not required to receive discharge authorization; however, a person may be prohibited from discharging if an actual or potential discharge violates the general discharge prohibitions in section 4.006(1).
