   The director is authorized to establish local limits pursuant to 40 CFR Part 403.5(c). Local limits are established to protect against pass through and interference. No wastewater discharge shall exceed the local limits as determined by the director pursuant to section 15R.40.010 of this code.

   The local limits apply at the point where wastewater is discharged into the city’s sanitary sewer system. The director may impose mass limitations in addition to or in lieu of the concentration-based limitations above.

   The director may develop BMPs, by ordinance, or in wastewater discharge permits, to implement the local limits and requirements of sections 15.40.020 and 15.40.021.
