(A) Users shall provide necessary wastewater treatment as required to comply with this chapter and shall achieve compliance with all federal categorical pretreatment standards within the time limitations as specified by the federal pretreatment regulations. Any facilities required to pretreat wastewater to a level acceptable to the city shall be provided, operated, and maintained at the user's expense. Detailed plans showing the pretreatment facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the city for review, and shall be acceptable to the city before construction of the facility. The review of such plan and operating procedures will in no way relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying the facility as necessary to produce an effluent acceptable to the city under the provisions of this chapter. Any subsequent changes in the pretreatment facilities or method of operation shall be reported to and be acceptable to the city prior to the user’s initiation of the changes.
(B) The city is required by federal regulation to keep the public informed of all cases of significant violation. To accomplish this the city shall annually publish in a newspaper of local circulation a list of the users which were not in compliance with any pretreatment requirements or standards at least once during the 12 previous months. A significant violation shall meet one or more of the following conditions:
(1) Results in the exercise of emergency authority;
(2) Remains uncorrected 45 days after notice of noncompliance is given; or
(3) Involves failure to report accurately.
(C) The notification shall also summarize any enforcement action taken against the user during the same 12 months.
(D) All records relating to compliance with pretreatment standards shall be made available to officials of the EPA or approval authority upon request.
