COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES
(A) Voluntary user program; user initiated, should a user present to the city, at any time prior to being required to do so by the city, information, data, plans, schedules, and the like relating to a proposed procedure for the prevention of discharges in violation of the provisions of this chapter, the city may receive such material and initiate procedures for the preparation of a compliance directive relating to that user without the need for review and standards meetings. Neither the presentation of material to the city nor the acceptance of such material by the city nor the commencement of procedures for the issuance of a compliance directive shall prevent the city from issuing any notice of violation nor does it exempt any user from the provisions of this chapter.
(B) Voluntary program; city initiated.
(1) The following voluntary proceedings between the city and a user whose wastewater has been shown to violate the industrial wastewater discharge permit or any provisions of this chapter may be followed by the city in an effort to assist the user and to ensure compliance with this chapter without court action. The proceedings outlined in this division are voluntary and are not to be construed as conditioned precedent for the city using any of the remedies forthset in chapter.
(2) Should analysis by the city indicate that the limitations on discharge have been exceeded in the discharge of a user, a violation is alleged to have occurred. The city shall notify the user, in writing, (which writing is hereinafter called a notice of review) as to the particulars of such alleged violation and set a time and place for a meeting (hereinafter called a review meeting) to be attended by representatives of the city and the user. The purpose of this meeting shall be to discuss and establish means of preventing violations of any of the limitations on discharge.

Should a violation by a user occur following a review meeting with that user, the city shall notify the offending user, in writing, through a notice of standards meeting as to the particulars of such violation and set a time and place for a meeting (hereinafter called a standards meeting) to be attended by representatives of the city and the user. The city may upon determination that a violation has occurred, send the user notice of standards meeting without first having a review meeting. The purpose of such a meeting shall be to establish such procedures, investigations, and studies as the city deems necessary and desirable for the determination of such action as it may require of the user to control and prevent discharges in violation of the limitations on discharge.
(B) Compliance directive.
(1) Following the completion of the investigations and studies described in above, the city may direct and require the user to take such action as may be required to control and prevent discharges in violation of the limitations on discharge, including pretreatment of those wastewaters which contain or may contain pollutants subject to limitations on discharge.
(2) If the city has sufficient information at the time of the standards meeting to determine necessary action, it may, at the time of the standards meeting, direct and require the user to take such action, including pretreatment, without further investigation or study, and the user shall comply.
(3) The user shall cooperate fully with the city in making such investigations and studies as may be required.

The city shall review and discuss the schedule and preliminary information with the user. Final acceptance by the city of the schedule and plans, modified as required by the city following discussions with the user, shall be within 30 days of the submittal of an acceptable schedule and plans to the city. Such approval does not release the user from responsibility for compliance with the provisions of this chapter, either before or after any pretreatment facilities are operational, nor does such approval constitute a liability of the city should the facilities fail to produce an acceptable pollutant concentration.
(5) The user shall keep the city informed as to the progress of work to provide required pretreatment facilities through written reports submitted monthly.
(6) Failure to comply with the compliance directive of the city regarding pretreatment facilities or failure to comply with the schedule, as approved, shall be deemed a violation of the provisions of this chapter and may be grounds for revocation of the users wastewater discharge permit.
