(A) Purpose. It is the purpose of this section to reduce the pollutants such as oil, grease, oxygen demanding substances and nutrients from illicit connections of oil water separators/grease traps into the MS4 and/or waterbodies.
(B) Prohibition. No person shall:
(1) Discharge from an oil water separator or an oil/water interceptor or grease trap into the MS4 and/or waterbodies; or
(2) Discharge flow from an oil/water separator or an oil/water interceptor having a pH value lower than 6.0 or higher than 10.5.
(C) Implications. All the oil/water separator or interceptor users who are discharging to the MS4 shall notify the city’s Water Department of the existence of such connections to the MS4 and/or waterbodies. Such notification shall be completed within 60 days of the approval of this chapter. It is the responsibility of the operator to notify the city’s Water Department. If the notification is not made during the allocated 60 days, then the detected connections to MS4 and/or waterbodies of an oil/water separator or interceptor shall be considered an illicit connection. The city reserves the right to terminate such connection immediately, without prior notice.
