(A) In order to administer the control authority’s Chapter 53 of this code of ordinances, an enforcement response plan has been developed to determine whether users are complying with pretreatment standards and requirements of the user’s wastewater discharge permit. This plan, known as the enforcement response plan, provides compliance screening and compliance evaluation to determine how, when and at what level to respond to noncompliance by users.
(B) To understand the enforcement response plan, one must first understand noncompliance terminology and its administrative enforcement responsibilities. This relationship is as follows:
(1) Noncompliance is the act of not meeting specified conditions or requirements;
(2) A violation is an instance of noncompliance;
(3) The user shall notify the control authority of any and all violations;
(4) All violations may require a formal enforcement response;
(5) The level of formal enforcement response to significant noncompliance is determined by the magnitude of the violation and violation history; and
(6) Formal enforcement responses require public notifications for significant noncompliance.
