Upon completion of pretreatment facilities or plant or process changes, no permit holder may discharge industrial waste therefrom into a public sewer, private sewer or side sewer tributary to the City Sewerage System until inspection shall have been made by the City for compliance with conditions of the permit and with this Ordinance. 8. Modification of Permit. Discharge conditions published in a waste discharge permit shall remain in effect for that permit until it expires, except that they may be revised from time to time as required by state or federal regulations and requirements or to meet any emergency. -22- Ordinance No. 82 - 20 Page Twenty Three 9. Revocation of Permit. A permit shall be subject to revocation upon thirty (30) days notice in writing if the City finds: a. That it was procured by misrepresentation of any material fact or by lack of full disclosure in the application; or b. That a material change in the volumn of flow or characteristics of waste was effected without notice to the City and application to the City for a new permit was not made and a permit issued as required; or c. That there has been a violation of the limitations or conditions of the permit and the permit holder refuses to take corrective action or that a violation has continued after notice thereof. At the time that a permit is revoked, the Engineer may thereafter require disposal of the waste in some manner other than into a public sewer, private sewer or side sewer tributary to the City Sewerage System at the expense of the person whose permit is revoked. The appropriate local agency and the Department of Ecology will be notified in writing of the revocation of such permit. 10. SusDension of Permit. A permit may be temporarily suspended and further discharges halted by the Engineer if he determines that waste discharges are in violation of waste discharge permit limitations or conditions or City, state, federal standards and pose an immediate risk to public health and safetV or to damage, obstruction or interference with treatment facilities. Such suspension shall be ef~fective immediately upon written notice delivered to the permit holder's business premises or posting at the point of discharge. -23- Ordinance No. 82 - 20 Page Twenty Four E. Responsibilities of Waste Water Permit Holder. 1. Control of Discharge. It shall be the responsibility of every person to control the discharge of industrial waste into a public sewer, private sewer or side sewer tributary to the City in compliance with this Ordinance and the requirements of a waste discharge permit issued under the provisions of this Ordinance. 2. Pretreatment Facilities. Whenever pretreatment facilities are required pursuant to this Ordinance, they shall be constructed, installed, operated and maintained at the expense of the permit holder and in a manner prescribed by the Engineer. The permit holder shall maintain records indicating routine maintenance check dates, cleaning, and waste removal dates and means of disposal of accumulated wastes. Such records shall be retained for a minimum of three (3) years and shall be subgect to review in accordance with this Ordinance. Approval of proposed facilities or equipment by the Engineer will not in any way guarantee that these facilities or equipment will function in the manner described by the contractor, or manufacturer, nor shall it relieve a person 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 a waste discharge permit. 3. Waste Analysis and Reporting ~equirements. Permit holders will be required to submit samples of industrial waste discharges, to perform tests and report the test results to the City, as required by the terms of the permit and if requested by state or local public agencies; or if deemed necessary by the Engineer for the proper treatment, analysis or control of waste discharges. All such tests and reports shall be at the cost of the permit holder. -24- Ordinance No. 82 - 20 Page Twenty Five The City shall have the right to implement and require when deemed necessary by the Engineer, a permit holder to obtain, install, operate and maintain an automatic sampler and/or analyzer to monitor its industrial waste discharges in the manner directed by the City. To the degree practicable, the City will provide each permit holder or applicant with information on applicable City state and federal waste analysis and reporting requirements, provided,however, that any failure or inadvertence to do so shall not excuse the permit holder from compliance with said requirements. 4. SamDlinq Manhole. When required by the City, the permit holder shall install and maintain at his expense a suitable control manhole in his side sewer to facilitate observation, sampling, and measurement of wastes therein. Such manhole shall be located, if feasible, where it is accessible from a public road or street. It shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the City and shall be arranged so that flow measuring and sampling equipment and a shutoff gate or a screen may be conveniently installed by the City. The permit holder shall make access to such manhole available to the City at all times. F. Industrial~Cost Recovery. Each industrial user of a treatment works constructed by the City wholly or partially with the use of federal grant money shall pay to the City that portion of the federal grant amount allocable to the treatment of the industrial users' wastes as determined by federal regulations in addition to its proportionate share of costs of operation and maintenance and such user charges as may be lawfully imposed by the City. a. ~iqnificantIndustrial Users' Letter of Intent. Upon written request from the Engineer in instances where the City has applied for federal grant money to construct treatment works, each significant industrial user shall send to -25- Ordinance No. 82 - 20 Page Twenty Six the City a signed letter of intent to pay that portion of the federal grant amount allocable to the treatment of its wastes as determined by federal regulations. Each such letter shall also include a statement of the industrial user's intended period of use of the treatment works. b. ~ndustrial Cost Recovery System. 1. Each year during the industrial cost recovery period, each industrial user of the treatment works shall pay to the City its share of the total amount of the grant and any grant amended awarded pursuant to this subpart, divided by the recovery period. 2. Payments shall be made by industrial users no less often than annually. The first payment by an industrial user shall be made not later than one (1) year after such user begins use of the treatment works. 3. An industrial user's share shall be based on all factors which significantly influence the cost of the treatment works. Factors such as strength, components, volume and delivery flow rate characteristics, shall be considered and included to insure a proportional distribution of the federal grant assistance allocable to industrial use to all industrial users of a particular treatment works. At a minimum, an industry's share shall be proportional based on its flow in relation to the treatment works flow capacity. 4. If there is a substantial change in the strength, components, volume or delivery flow rate characteristics introduced into the treatment works by an industrial user, such user's share shall be adjusted accordingly. 5. If there is an expansion or upgrading of the treatment works, each existing industrial user's share shall be adjusted accordingly. -26 - Ordinance No. 82 - 20 Page %k~enty Seven 6. An industrial user's share shall include only that portion of the federal grant assistance allocable to its use or to capacity firmly committed for its use. 7. An industrial user's share shall not include an interest component. G. Violations. 1. Criteria Constituting A Violation. a. A violation of those limitations established under this Ordjnance~ federal, statelor City pre~reatment standards, or specific requirements of an industrial waste discharge permit shall occur, regardless of intent or accident when: 1. The maximum daily allowable concentration is violated under the following circumstances: a. The arithmetic mean of concentrations for eight consecutive samples collected over intervals of 15 minutes or greater is in excess of the limitation; b. The concentration of any single sample (whether grab or a sample within a series) - exclusive of any fats, oils, and grease-exceeds the limitation by a factor of four (4); c. The arithmetic mean of the concentration of fats, oil, or greases for three grab samples, taken no more frequently than at five (5) minute intervals exceeds the limitations. 2. The arithmetic mean of the antilog of the pH values of at least 8 consecutive samples taken at intervals of 15 minutes or greater is less than an equivalent pH value of 5.5, or the pH of any single sample is less than 5.0. 3. The temperature limitation is exceeded for any single sample. Each discreet discharge exceeding such limitations, standards or requirements shall constitute a separate violation, or if such discharge is continuous, then each hour of said discharge shall constitute a separate violation. -27- Ordinance No. 82 - 20 Page Twenty Eight a. A violation will be considered to have occurred if special reporting requirements established by permit are not complied with. b. A violation will be considered to have occurred if mass related limitations for specific pollutants have been violated. A violation will be determined utilizing the formula: (8.34) (Millions of gallons discharged) (concentration pollutant in mg/1) The concentration used for the pollutant' will be the arithmetic mean of those concentrations for samples collected ~uring the period monitored or the concentration of a flow proportioned composite during that period. The volume will be determined by either a water meter or sewer meter serving the monitored process and read immediately prior to and after sampling. 2. Notice of Violation. Upon determination that a violation has taken or is taking place, a representative of the City shall make a reasonable effort to immediately notify the violating party. The first notification may be verbal if subsequently followed by written notification. Such written notification shall be entitled "Notice of Violation", shall be signed by the Engineer and shall specify the nature and source of the violation. Such written notice may be deliveredto the business premises of an industrial user or may be submitted by regular mail to the address of the!permit holder as given to the City.
