CITY OF EVERETT Enqineerinp/Public Services On August 9'h, 2001 we received a complaint from a citizen who reported individuals from your firm either rinsing concrete out of their truck and/or dumping waste conctete on a building site at approximately 5025 Sound Avenue in the City of Everett. A poRion of this material left the worksite and entered the stormdrain system of the City of EveretL These stormdrains enter Edgewater Creek, a short distance away. The citizen fumished the City with dated signed phoros showing what transpired. Yesterday I called you for a mailing address and explained briefly I was not intending to pursue fines under the Everett Municipal Code. But we do require that should you do any further business in the City of Everett that you refrain from doing this in the future. Under City of Everett Ordin.�nce Chapter 14.56 (see encloseu; it is "unlawful for any person to throw, drain, run or othen�ise discharge into the surface water system, or cause, permit or suffer to be thrown, drained, run or allow to seep or otherwise disch:uge into the surface water system any organic or inorganic matter [hat shall cause or tend to cause pollution of such waters." Pollution includes, but is not limited to, the following items that may be applicable to this situation: fresli concrete, washing of fresh concrete for cleaning and/or finishing purposes to expose aggregates, any fluid with a pH of less than 6.0 or more than 8.5. Violation of this ordinance can caay a fine of up to $5,000.00/day per occurrence as well as cicanup costs. If you wish to rinse equipment it should be done in a way that does not send it into our storm drain system, which in mo�t cases will end up in our creeks, many which ue salmon streams. and then Port Gardner Bay. [t is the policy of the City of Everett to minimizc sources of water quality degradation.
