A. This chapter sets forth uniform requirements for contributors to the wastewater collection and treatment system of the Pinole/Hercules water pollution control plant and enables the city to comply with all applicable state and federal laws required by the Clean Water Act of 1977 as amended and the General Pretreatment Regulations (40 CFR Part 403), on file at the public works department.
B. The objectives of this chapter are:
1. Comply with the laws of the state of California and of the United States relating to the protection of the environment, control of water pollution, disposal of hazardous wastes and pretreatment of industrial discharges to publicly owned treatment works;
2. Prevent the introduction of pollutants into the city's wastewater system, which could interfere with operation of the system or contaminate the resulting sludge;
3. Prevent the introduction of wastes into the city's wastewater system, which could pass through the system, inadequately treated and into receiving waters or the atmosphere, or otherwise be incompatible with the system's overall operations;
4. Prevent introduction of toxic substances to the city's wastewater system, which could reach the environment in toxic amounts;
5. To improve the opportunity to recycle and reclaim wastewater and sludges from the system;
6. Prevent the introduction of wastes that may be inadequately treated by city facilities and may adversely affect the environment or may cause a violation of the city's NPDES permit or may contribute to the need for modification of the city's NPDES permit;
7. Protect the city's personnel while conducting activities related to the collection, treatment and disposal of wastes through the city's wastewater system;
8. Prevent the introduction of wastes to sewers connected to the city's wastewater system that could result in the city being classified as a hazardous waste treatment storage or disposal facility under the laws of the state of California or the United States;
9. Prevent a public hazard or public nuisance arising from the collection, treatment or disposal of wastes through the city's wastewater system;
10. Prevent the introduction of stormwater into the city sewer system from individual homes and businesses that will reduce the plant capacity as well as effective treatment.
C. This chapter shall apply to all dischargers within the city, and to users of the city's treatment plant. Except as otherwise provided herein, the public works director shall administer, implement, and enforce the provisions of the chapter. (Ord. 01-102 § 2(part), 2001).
