4-3 SOURCE CONTROL REGULATORY REOUIREMENTS <br /> This section describes the requirements or regulations of other departments of the City and of other regulating <br /> agencies which may affect the selection and installation of source control options on the site. Applicable <br /> regulatory requirements for specific business groups are listed in Section 4-1. <br /> 4-3.1 R.1 DISCHARGES TO PUBLIC SANITARY SEWERS,PROCESS TREATMENT,AND SUMPS <br /> Public Sanitary Sewers: In general, stormwater discharges to the public sanitary sewer are not allowed, except in <br /> areas of the City served by a combined storm and sanitary sewer system. However,process wastewaters <br /> (including soapy washwater,steam cleaning wastes,etc.)and interior drains are allowed to discharge to the <br /> public sanitary sewer, if certain pretreatment requirements are met. The applicant must contact the City's <br /> Industrial Pretreatment Program for requirements prior to permit approval and issuance. <br /> Process Treatment: Some businesses treat process wastewater on site. Process treatment may be used to dispose <br /> of polluted stormwater, depending on the NPDES permit constraints of the particular business. <br /> Dead-End Sumps: Where other options don't exist,a sump may be used. Sumps are dead-end(no outlet)tanks <br /> which can be periodically pumped with waste disposed of by an appropriate waste disposal operator. Depending <br /> on the composition of the waste, it may or may not be considered Dangerous Waste. For more information on <br /> disposal requirements for sumps, contact DOE's Regional Offices. <br /> 4-3.2 R2 UNIFORM FIRE CODE REQUIREMENTS <br /> Storage of flammable, ignitable, and reactive chemicals and materials must comply with the stricter of the City's <br /> Zoning Codes,the City's fire codes,the Uniform Fire Code/Standards, or the National Electric Code. <br /> 4-33 R3 DOE REQUIREMENTS FOR GENERATORS OF DANGEROUS WASTES <br /> The State's Dangerous Waste Regulations(Chapter 173-303 WAC)cover accumulation, storage,transportation, <br /> treatment,and disposal of Dangerous Wastes which can contribute to stormwater pollution if not handled <br /> correctly. The applicant must contact DOE if Dangerous Wastes will be accumulated and/or stored on the site. <br /> If a storage permit is required,DOE has responsibility for assuring that the waste is stored appropriately. If a <br /> storage permit is not required,general regulations may still apply,and/or disposal of the waste may need to <br /> comply with Snohomish County Health Department regulations. Fact sheets for dangerous/hazardous waste <br /> generators are available from DOE. The DOE manual may also be consulted for additional information. <br /> 4-3.4 R.4 MINIMUM FUNCTIONAL STANDARDS FOR CONTAINERS <br /> The Snohomish County Health Department establishes standards on the use and integrity of solid waste <br /> containers. These local regulations must meet or exceed the State Minimum Functional Standards, WAC 173- <br /> 304-200,which state that: <br /> "Reusable containers, except for detachable containers,shall be rigid and durable;corrosion resistant; <br /> nonabsorbent and water tight; rodent-proof and easily cleanable;equipped with a close fitting cover; suitable for <br /> handling with no sharp edges or other hazardous conditions ...". <br /> "Detachable containers shall be durable, corrosion-resistant,nonabsorbent, non-leaking and having either a solid <br /> cover or screen cover to prevent littering." (Note: detachable containers are reusable containers that are <br /> mechanically loaded or handled, such as a dumpster or drop box.) <br /> "All persons collecting or transporting solid wastes shall avoid littering, or the creation of other nuisances at the <br /> loading point...". <br /> • <br /> 4-3-1 <br />
