(A) The ordinance attached to Ord. 3657 which sets forth uniform requirements for users of the publicly owned treatment works for the city and enables the city to comply with all applicable and state and federal laws, including the Clean Water Act (33 USC §§ 1251 et seq.) and the General Pretreatment Regulations (40 CFR Part 403), is hereby passed and adopted as the City of New Castle Sewer Use Ordinance. The body and contents of said ordinance are attached to Ord. 3657 in their entirety and incorporated herein as if set forth in full.
(B) The Board of Public Works and Safety must adopt an Industrial Pretreatment Program Enforcement Response Plan (ERP). This plan should provide a protocol for responding to industrial pretreatment violations consistently and systematically. The ERP adopted by the Board must contain a provision for the notification of industry explaining how the publicly owned treatment works (POTW) responds to pretreatment violations. It should further set up a method by which instances of non-compliance will be investigated, the enforcement actions to be taken by the POTW, and identify the officials responsible for taking that action, and reflect the POTW's primary responsibility to enforce all applicable pretreatment requirements and standards. The ERP should provide for consistent enforcement response for similar violations and circumstances, describe violations, define the range of appropriate enforcement actions based upon the nature and severity of the violations and other relevant factors and identify those responsible for finalizing enforcement responses.
