Sec. 12.16.600. - Treatment required. (a) An industrial user shall provide necessary wastewater treatment at the industrial user's expense as required to comply with this article and shall achieve compliance with all pretreatment standards and requirements within the time limitations specified by the EPA, the state, or the city, whichever is more stringent. Upon written notice from the city of the requirement for pretreatment of discharge, the industrial user shall have ten working days to reply to the director as to a plan of compliance and shall be in compliance within 90 days unless a time extension is otherwise granted by the city. Detailed plans showing the pretreatment facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the director for review and shall be acceptable before construction of the facility. The review of such plans and operating procedures will in no way relieve the industrial user from the responsibility of modifying the facility as necessary to produce an effluent acceptable to the city under the provisions of this article. Any subsequent changes in the pretreatment facilities or method of operation shall be reported to and be approved by the director. (b) Wastewater discharge control: The city may require an industrial user to restrict discharge during peak flow periods, designate that certain wastewater be discharged only into specified sewers, relocate and/or consolidate points of discharge, separate sewage wastestreams from industrial wastestreams, and such other conditions as may be necessary to protect the POTW and demonstrate the industrial user's compliance with the requirements of this article. (c) Flow equalization: The city may require any industrial user discharging into the POTW to install and maintain, on their property and at their expense, a suitable storage and flow-control facility to ensure equalization of flow. An industrial discharge permit may be issued solely for flow equalization. (Ord. No. 6305, § 1, 8-28-13)
