§ 90-121. Purpose and policy.

This article sets forth uniform requirements for users of the WWF of the city to comply with all applicable state and federal laws, including the Clean Water Act (33 United States Code section 1251 et seq.) and the General Pretreatment Regulations (Title 40 CFR Part 403). The objectives of this article are:

(1)

To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the WWF that will interfere with its operation;

(2)

To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the WWF that will pass through the WWF, inadequately treated, into receiving waters, or otherwise be incompatible with the WWF;

(3)

To protect both WWF personnel who may be affected by wastewater and sludge in the course of their employment and the general public;

(4)

To promote reuse and recycling of industrial wastewater and sludge from the WWF;

(5)

To enable the city to comply with its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit conditions, sludge use and disposal requirements, and any other Federal or State laws to which the WWF is subject.

This article shall apply to all users of the WWF. It authorizes the issuance of individual wastewater discharge permits; provides monitoring, compliance, and enforcement activities; establishes administrative review procedures; and requires user reporting.

Except as otherwise provided, the public utilities director shall administer, implement, and enforce provisions of this article. Any powers granted to or duties imposed upon the director may be delegated by the director to a duly authorized city employee.
