Project summary statement: In 2019 our Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) biosolids exceeded Molybdenum (Mo) levels for beneficial use. This led to an investigation of our incoming wastewater influent into the source of the contamination. The industrial source was identified and corrected, however, during the investigation it became clear that the City needed a Mo limit. The City’s current Local Limits were established in 1993 and there have since been significant changes to both the plant and water quality regulations prompting the reevaluation of all limits. Chapter 14.40 of the Everett Municipal Code authorizes enforcement of Local Limits. The new Chapter 14.40 EMC reflect current practices, regulations, city policies, coding and revises the established Local Limits. The proposed Ordinance was available for a 30-day public comment period ending April 18, 2024. Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): Adopt an Ordinance relating to Uniform Requirements for Users of the Publicly Owned Treatment Works, repealing and replacing Ordinance 3070-08 (Chapter 14.40 EMC).
