Sec. 60-201. - Interjurisdictional agreement provisions.
(a) The director, with the approval of the city council, may enter into cooperative agreements for wastewater collection and/or treatment services with other governmental jurisdictions, provided that:
(1) The other jurisdiction adopts a sewer use ordinance which is at least as stringent as this article and adopts local limits which are at least as stringent as those set forth in section 60-121.
(2) The other jurisdiction submits a revised commercial and industrial user inventory on at least an annual basis.
(3) The other jurisdiction conducts an EPA- or state-approved program of pretreatment implementation activities including industrial user permit issuance, inspection and sampling, and enforcement, or authorizes the City of Kansas City, Missouri and its servants, employees or agents to conduct such activities on its behalf.
(4) The other jurisdiction agrees to provide the city with access to all information that the other jurisdiction obtains as part of its pretreatment activities in areas served by the city's POTW.
(5) The other jurisdiction agrees to pay the appropriate surcharge as determined by section 60-192 of this article based upon the measured flow and concentration of BOD, suspended solids, and oil and grease at each interconnection point.
(6) The other jurisdiction's total discharge to the city's POTW meets the general prohibitions provided in section 60-121 and the following specific pollutant limitations:
Pollutant Daily Maximum
Arsenic 0.100 mg/l
Benzene 0.100 mg/l
Cadmium 0.240 mg/l
Chromium 0.500 mg/l
Copper 0.300 mg/l
Cyanide 0.800 mg/l
Ethylbenzene 0.200 mg/l
Lead 0.300 mg/l
Mercury 0.004 mg/l
Nickel 1.200 mg/l
Phenols 2.000 mg/l
Silver 0.500 mg/l
Thallium 0.400 mg/l
Toluene 0.200 mg/l
Xylene 0.200 mg/l
Zinc 0.800 mg/l
PCBs 0.002 mg/l
Total toxic organics (TTOs) as defined by 40 CFR 433.11(e) shall not exceed 1.0 mg/l at any time.
(7) Exceedances of pollutant limitations as set forth in section 60-201(a)(6) will be subject to a surcharge for each pollutant for each exceedance to be calculated as follows:
Daily maximum exceeded per pollutant:
((AD/LD)-1) × MGD × $10,000.00
The symbols, letters or figures employed in the formula signify the following:
AD = average concentration of a particular pollutant discharged in any one day.
LD = Daily maximum concentration of a particular pollutant which may be discharged as defined in section 60-201(a)(6).
MGD = Average daily flow rate, in million gallons per day, for the reporting period.
(8) The surcharges described in section 60-201(a)(7) of this article shall be waived if the other jurisdiction has authorized the city to conduct industrial pretreatment implementation and enforcement activities in its behalf and, the director has determined that the other jurisdiction has made a good faith effort to assist in said implementation and enforcement activities.
(9) The other jurisdiction installs, at its cost, a suitable connection structure with adequate provisions for reliable flow recording and monitoring. A permanent monitoring facility should be provided if such flow includes discharge:
a. From 100 or more dwelling units; or
b. From any commercial or industrial user; or
c. Which exceeds 25,000 gallons per day average daily flow.
(b) Interjurisdictional agreements entered into or amended after the effective date of this article shall include and comply with the provisions of this section.
Such agreements may contain compliance schedules of up to five years for any physical construction necessary for compliance with the agreement's provisions.
(c) The provisions of existing interjurisdictional agreements notwithstanding, the pollutant limitations listed in section 60-201(a)(6) shall take effect 180 days after the effective date of this article.
(d) Rates for volume, BOD, suspended solids, and oil and grease shall be established by article I of this chapter as the same now exists or as may be amended or revised.
(e) The requirements of section 60-201(a) through 60-201(d) of this article may not apply to wastewaters which are not treated at the city's wastewater treatment plants subject to the conditions of each negotiated inter jurisdictional agreement.
