Article 8
Sec 7.08.002
Industrial Users of the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System
A. The Director may require industrial users to conduct self-inspections, self-monitoring
of storm water discharges, and/or reporting to the Water Pollution Control Department
in a manner deemed appropriate by the Director.
B. When the Director requires an industrial user to provide quantitative data for
a pollutant under paragraph "A" of this Section, all storm water discharge samples
shall be collected in accordance with 40 CFR 122.21(g)(7), as may be amended from
time to time, and pollutant analyses shall be performed in accordance with the techniques
prescribed in 40 CFR Part 136, as may be amended from time to time. If 40 CFR Part
136 does not contain analytical techniques for the pollutant in question, analyses
must be performed in accordance with procedures approved by the Director.
C. The Director may require industrial users discharging to the municipal separate
storm sewer system under State operating permits to provide the Director with copies
of permit applications, reports, and other records concerning industrial user discharges
in a manner and within a time frame deemed appropriate by the Director.
D. Industrial users shall maintain a record of the date and time, volume and methods
of removal and disposal and location of disposal site(s) for solids, sludges, grease,
filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control
of wastewaters. Records of receipt by the disposal facility of all such wastes removed
from the site shall be maintained to provide a comprehensive tracking system from
generation to disposal for removed wastes.
E. Industrial users shall make available for inspection and copying all records
and information required by the Director. Industrial users shall maintain material
safety data sheets, incoming hazardous waste manifests, outgoing hazardous waste
manifests, records of sludge and other residual waste disposal, sampling records,
analytical reports, production records, purchase records, reports submitted to regulatory
agencies and other related records for a period of at least three (3) years. Such
records shall include for all samples:
1. The date, exact place, method, and time of sampling and the names of the person
or persons taking the samples; and
2. The dates analyses were performed; and
3. Who performed the analyses; and
4. The analytical techniques/methods used; and
5. The results of such analyses.
The three year record retention period shall be automatically extended for the duration
of any litigation concerning compliance with this Article, or where an industrial
user has been specifically notified of a longer retention period by the Director.
F. The Director may require industrial users to submit and implement pollution prevention
and spill control plans as set forth in Section 7.08.004 of this Article.
G. The Director may require industrial users to implement BMPs where deemed necessary
by the Director to achieve the objectives of the City's storm water management program.
H. The Director may require industrial users to obtain permits, or the Director
may issue orders or other control mechanisms controlling the contribution of pollutants
from and quality of industrial discharges, including indirect storm sewer discharges,
to the municipal separate storm sewer system.
I. The Director may establish monitoring requirements, pollutant limitations and
other restrictions on industrial user discharges to the municipal separate storm
sewer system. Such monitoring requirements, pollutant limitations or other restrictions
may be as stringent as or more stringent than requirements set forth in a State
operating permit issued to the industrial user for such discharge, if deemed necessary
by the Director to achieve the objectives of the City's storm water management program.
J. The City may enter into agreements with other jurisdictions to require industrial
user sampling, obtain information, and to control the quality of indirect storm
sewer discharges to the City's municipal separate storm sewer system from industrial
users located outside the City.
K. The Director may, on a case-by-case basis in a manner deemed appropriate by the
Director, designate any nondomestic source not otherwise deemed to be an industrial
user to be subject to the requirements of this Section, if the Director finds such
nondomestic source to be storing significant materials, to be a source of storm
water discharge associated with industrial activity or to be a source of non-storm
water discharge to the municipal separate storm sewer system.
