If written authorization for such a discharge is given, the Director shall have the
authority to require that any discharge of an infectious waste to the sewer be
rendered non-infectious prior to discharge if the infectious waste is deemed to
pose a threat to the public health and safety, or will result in any violation of
applicable waste discharge requirements.
13.12.245 Categorical Pretreatment Standards. Promulgated National
Categorical Pretreatment Standards, located in 40 CFR Chapter I, Subchapter N,
Parts 405-471, are hereby incorporated into this Chapter. Upon the
promulgation of new or revised Categorical Pretreatment Standards for a
particular industrial subcategory, the new or revised Categorical Pretreatment
Standards shall immediately be deemed incorporated herein. The Director shall
c , notify affected Users of applicable reporting requirements under 40 CFR,
Chapter I, subchapter N, Parts 401, et seq.
No User subject to Categorical Pretreatment Standards shall discharge or
cause to be discharged to the POTW any Wastewater which is not in
conformance with the discharge limits set forth in the Categorical Pretreatment
Standards, including any revisions thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
User may obtain a variance from a Categorical Pretreatment Standard in
accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR 403.13 and by establishing to the
satisfaction of the Director, that the discharge will not adversely affect POTW
operation and maintenance.
In the event that a Categorical Pretreatment Standard establishes a

equipped with a sample chamber located at the downstream
end of the interceptor. The sample chamber shall have a 24
inch square, or 24 inch diameter, clear opening for the
temporary installation of the City's portable automatic

properly installed before the effective date of this Chapter
shall be acceptable as an alternative to the sample chamber
specified herein, provided such sample chamber is so

and floating materials do not accumulate to impair the
efficiency of the interceptor. The use of chemicals to
dissolve grease is specifically prohibited. When an
interceptor is cleaned, the accumulated sediment and
floating material shall be removed and legally disposed of
otherwise than to the sewer. An interceptor is not
considered to be properly maintained if for any reason it is
not in good working condition or if the operational fluid
capacity has been reduced by more than 25% by the
accumulation of floating and settling solids, oils and grease.
The owner of any facility required to install an interceptor,
the lessee and sub-lessee, if there be such, and any
proprietor, operator or superintendent of such facility are

Wastewater samples. The monitoring facilities, including sampling and
monitoring equipment, shall be maintained at all times in a safe and proper
operating condition at the expense of the User. The City may require that the
monitoring facilities include a security enclosure that can be locked with a City
provided hasp lock, or similar device, during monitoring or upon termination of

discharged during all times that the User's facility is open, operating or at any
other reasonable time to determine whether the User is complying with all
requirements of this Chapter and any Wastewater Discharge Permit or
administrative order issued hereunder. The Users or the occupants of such
premises shall allow the Director ready access to all parts of the premises for
purposes of inspection, sampling, examination and copying of records, and any
other activities related to determining compliance with this Chapter.

The Director shall have the right to set up on the User's property such
devices as are necessary to conduct sampling inspection, compliance
monitoring, and/or metering operations. Where a User has security measures in
force, which would require proper identification and clearance before entry into

shall also immediately notify the fire department. The verbal report to the City
shall be followed by a written report submitted to the Director within 24 hours

A. Bypass of Nondomestic Wastewater to the Sewerage System is
prohibited. The City may take enforcement action against the User unless:
1. Bypass was unavoidable because it was done to prevent
loss of life, personal injury, or severe property damage;
2. There were no feasible alternatives to the Bypass, such as
the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated
wastes, elective slow-down or shut-down of production units
or maintenance during periods of production downtime. This
condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment
could have been feasibly installed in the exercise of
reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a Bypass which
occurred_during normal periods of equipment downtime or
preventative maintenance; and
3. The Permittee submitted notices as required under Section
13.12.272.B.
4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the User shall be liable to the
City for any expenses or costs incurred by the City as a
result of a Bypass.
B. If a Permittee knows in advance of the need for a Bypass, it shall
submit a written request to allow the Bypass to the Director, if possible, at least
ten (10) days before the date of the Bypass.
C. The Director may approve an anticipated Bypass at his sole
discretion after considering its adverse affects, and the Director determines that
the conditions listed in Section 13.12.272.A (1-3) are met.

unanticipated Bypass that exceeds its permitted discharge limits within four
hours from the time the Permittee becomes aware of the Bypass. A written
report shall also be provided within five (5) days of the time the Permittee
becomes aware or could reasonably have been aware of the Bypass. The report

1. Sampling of all Users shall be conducted in the time, place,
manner, and frequency determined at the sole discretion of
the City.
2. Non-compliance with mass emission rate limits,
concentration limits, Permit discharge conditions, or any
discharge provision of this Chapter may be determined by
an analysis of a grab or composite sample of the effluent of
a User. Non-compliance with mass emission rate limits shall
be determined by an analysis of a composite sample of the
User's effluent, except that a grab sample may be used to
determine compliance with mass emission rate limits when
the discharge is from a closed (batch) treatment system in
which there is no Wastewater flow into the Sewerage
System when the discharge is occurring, the volume of
Wastewater contained in the batch system is known, the
time interval of discharge is known, and the grab sample is
homogeneous and representative of the discharge.
3. Any sample taken from a sample point shall be deemed to
be representative of the discharge to the POTW.
B. Wastehauler Noncompliance with Discharge Limits. A
Wastehauler's non-compliance with discharge limits shall be determined by an
analysis of a sample of the discharge for any constituent or conditions specified
in the Wastehauler's Wastewater Discharge Permit or this Chapter. If the
discharge of a Wastehauler is found by the analysis to be in excess of the
concentration limits specified in the Wastehauler's Wastewater Discharge Permit
or in this Chapter, the Wastehauler shall, upon receiving a demand from the City,
identify in writing all sources of the discharge.

13.12.407 Noncompliance Monitoring Program.
A. Repeat Sampling:
If any sample analysis indicates that the User is discharging
Wastewater with Pollutant concentrations or levels exceeding
discharge limits contained in this Chapter or contained in User's
permit, then the User shall collect and analyze a follow-up sample
or samples (as directed by the Director using approved analytical
methods). The User shall submit the completed follow-up sample
analysis to the City within thirty (30) days of notification by the City.
B. Initiation of Noncompliance Monitoring Program:
If the follow-up sample indicates continued noncompliance, the
User may be ordered by the Director to immediately initiate a
Noncompliance Monitoring Program requiring additional sampling
and reporting by the User in accordance with a schedule issued by
the Director. During the program, the User may be subject to
noncompliance fees established by City ordinance or resolution, as
appropriate.
C. Termination of Noncompliance Monitoring Program:
The Noncompliance Monitoring Program may be terminated by the
City upon the User's demonstration of a return to consistent
compliance. To demonstrate consistent compliance, the User must
either:
1. Terminate the discharge; or
2. Provide analyses (which have been analyzed using
approved analytical methods), which show discharge levels
in consistent compliance over a period of not less than 30
days or as specified in the Program.

the City for costs of additional sampling, monitoring, laboratory
analysis, treatment, disposal and administrative processing
incurred as a result of noncompliance.
