(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 these plans 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 this chapter. Any subsequent changes in the pretreatment facilities or methods of operation shall be reported to and be acceptable to the city prior to the user’s initiation of the changes.
(B) The city shall annually publish in the city newspaper a list of the users which were significantly violating pretreatment requirements or standards at least once during the 12 previous months. The notification shall also summarize any enforcement actions taken against the users during the same 12 months. Significant violations are violations which remain uncorrected 45 days after notice of noncompliance.
(C) All records relating to compliance with pretreatment standards shall be made available to the officials of the EPA or approval authority upon request.
