Salinas Municipal Code § 36-24 Periodic compliance report of industrial users

Council shall establish, by resolution, limits on specific pollutants. These limits may be changed from time to time.

(Ord. No. 2102 (NCS).)

No person shall discharge wastewater:

(a) Having a temperature which will cause the influent of the POTW to exceed one hundred four degrees Fahrenheit (forty degrees Celsius);

(b) Having a pH lower than 5 pH units or greater than 11 pH units; to prevent corrosive and structural damage to the POTW in accordance to 40 CFR part 403.5 (b)(2).

(Ord. No. 2102 (NCS).)

No person shall discharge oil and grease of animal, vegetable, mineral or petroleum origin in amounts which will cause stoppage at the collection system, damage at the influent pumping station and obstruction of flow at the IWF, resulting in interference and pass through.

(Ord. No. 2102 (NCS).)

No person shall discharge sanitary sewage into the IWF.

(Ord. No. 2102 (NCS).)

Any industrial user subject to compliance report shall submit a report to the director on a schedule in the permit. The report shall indicate the nature of process, volume, rates of flow, mass emissions rate, production quantities, hours of operation, number and classification of employees. All IUs shall report changes in operation and discharge characteristics, sampling and analytical results of discharges. Baseline monitoring reports, reports on compliance with categorical deadline and periodic compliance reports must be signed by a responsible corporate officer or her/his equivalent and accompanied by the specific certification statement contained in 40 CFR 403.6(a)(2)(ii). All compliance sampling and analysis shall be conducted according to 40 CFR part 136.

(Ord. No. 2102 (NCS).)

All current national categorical standards shall apply in any instance where they are more stringent than local limits imposed under this chapter. Any new, revised or future national categorical standards, upon promulgation, if more stringent than local limits, shall immediately supersede limitations under this chapter.

(Ord. No. 2102 (NCS).)

Industrial users shall comply with local limits established by this chapter before discharging into the industrial waste collection system. Any industry required to pretreat wastewater to a level acceptable to the city shall be provided and maintained at the industrial user's expense. Plan showing pretreatment facility and operating procedures shall be submitted for the director's review and approval before the start of construction. The pretreatment facility shall be in such location that will allow safe and immediate access for sampling, metering and inspection. The city shall have the right to install on the IU's pretreatment facility devices necessary for compositing, measuring devices and other related pretreatment program activities.

Whether constructed on public or private property, monitoring facilities shall be constructed in accordance with the city's construction standards and specifications.

When in the judgement of the city, an existing industrial consistently exceeds local limits and requires a pretreatment facility, the IU shall be notified in writing about the requirement. Construction must be completed within ninety days following written notification unless a time extension is otherwise granted by the city.

(Ord. No. 2102 (NCS).)
