§ 28-33. Protection from accidental discharge.
Oakdale Municipal Code · 2026-07 edition · updated 2026-09-27 · Oakdale
Each user shall provide and maintain protection from accidental discharge of prohibited materials or wastes at the user's expense. Detailed plans showing facilities and operating procedures to provide this protection shall be submitted to the director for review and shall be approved by the director before construction of the facility. The review and approval of such plans and operating procedures will in no way relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying the facility as necessary to provide the protection necessary to meet the requirements of this chapter or the requirements of other regulatory agencies. (Ord. No. 679, § 1(part), 1976).
§ 28-34. Notification of discharges. [Ord. No. 679, § 1(part), 1976; Ord. No. 1252-18 § 4.]
Users shall notify the City immediately upon accidentally or otherwise discharging prohibited materials or wastes to enable countermeasures to be taken by the City to minimize damage to the sewer system, treatment facility, treatment processes and the receiving waters.
This notification shall be followed, within five days of the date of occurrence by a detailed written statement describing the causes of the accidental discharge and the measures being taken to prevent future occurrences. Such notification will not relieve users of liability for any expense, loss or damage to the sewer system, treatment plant, or treatment process or for any fines imposed on the city on account thereof under Section 13350 of the California Water Code or for violations of Section 5650 of the California Fish and Game Code as they now exist or may be amended hereafter, or regulatory agencies or other law.
§ 28-35. Preventive measures. [Ord. No. 679, § 1(part), 1976.]
Any direct or indirect connection or entry point for persistent or deleterious wastes from the user's plumbing or drainage system should be eliminated. Where such action is impractical or unreasonable, the user shall appropriately label such entry points to warn against discharge of such wastes.
§ 28-36. Submission of a time schedule. [Ord. No. 679, § 1(part), 1976.]
When the city finds that a discharge of waste has been taking place in violation of this chapter, effluent limitations, or the provisions of a waste discharge permit, the city may require the user to submit for approval such modifications to the user's premises as city deems necessary and a detailed time schedule of specific actions which the user shall take in order to prevent or correct the violations.
§ 28-37. Control screens. [Ord. No. 679, § 1(part), 1976.]
The director is authorized to install, or order the user to install, at the user's expense, screening devices on the sewer service at the point of connection with the system in order to prevent any industrial user from discharging industrial waste of a greater size than will pass through such screening device into the sewer service. The screening device shall have openings equivalent to a maximum of three-eighths inch. No person shall remove any such screen without authorization by the director.
