Oklahoma City Municipal Code § 47-411 Publication of list of users in significant noncompliance.
§ 47-411. - Publication of list of users in significant noncompliance.
The City shall publish annually, in a newspaper of general circulation that provides meaningful public notice within the jurisdiction(s) served by the POTW, a list of the users which, during the previous 12 months, were in significant noncompliance with applicable pretreatment standards and requirements. Any user found to be in SNC will be subjected to an administrative fee of $500.00. The term "significant noncompliance" shall mean:
(a) chronic violations of wastewater discharge limits, defined here as those in which 66 percent or more of wastewater measurements taken during a six-month period exceed the daily maximum limit or the 30-day average limit for the same pollutant parameter (by any magnitude) a numeric Pretreatment Standard or requirement, including instantaneous limits, as defined by 40 CFR 403.3(l).
(b) technical review criteria (TRC) violations, defined here as those in which 33 percent or more of wastewater measurements taken for each pollutant parameter during a six-month period equal or exceed the product of the numeric Pretreatment Standard or Requirement, including instantaneous limits, as defined by 40 CFR 403.3(l) multiplied by the applicable criteria (1.4 for BOD, TSS, fats, oils and grease, and 1.2 for all other pollutants except pH).
(c) any other violation of a Pretreatment Standard or Requirement as defined by 40 CFR 403.3(l) (daily maximum, long-term average, instantaneous limit, or narrative standard) the City believes has caused, alone or in combination with other discharges, interference or pass-through (including endangering the health of City personnel or the general public).
(d) any discharge of pollutants that has caused imminent endangerment to the public or to the environment, or has resulted in the City's exercise of its emergency authority to halt or prevent such a discharge.
(e) failure to meet, within 90 days of the scheduled date, a compliance schedule milestone contained in a wastewater discharge permit or enforcement order for starting construction, completing construction, or attaining final compliance.
(f) failure to provide, within 30 days after the due date, any required reports, including baseline monitoring reports, 90-day compliance reports, periodic self-monitoring reports, and reports on compliance with compliance schedules.
(g) failure to accurately report noncompliance.
(h) any other violation(s), which may include a violation of Best Management Practices, the City determines will adversely affect the operation or implementation of the local pretreatment program.
