Section 2: Section 2.8 of Ordinance 2034-95, which reads as follows: <br /> 2.8 Pretreatment Facilities <br /> A. General: Users shall provide all known, available, and reasonable methods of <br /> prevention, control, and treatment (AKART) as required to comply with this <br /> ordinance and shall achieve compliance with all applicable pretreatment standards <br /> and requirements set out in this ordinance within the time limitations specified by <br /> the EPA, the State, or the Director, whichever is more stringent. <br /> Any facilities required to pretreat wastewater to a level acceptable to the City shall <br /> be provided, operated, and maintained at the user's expense. <br /> In addition, the Director may establish Best Management Practices (BMPs) for <br /> particular groups of users. These BMPs may include, but are not limited to types <br /> or methods of pretreatment technology to be used, methods of source control, <br /> minimum maintenance requirements, dragout prevention practices, spill prevention <br /> practices, or other requirements as deemed necessary. <br /> When required by the Director, an engineering report, including detailed plans <br /> showing the pretreatment facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to <br /> the City for review, and shall be acceptable to the City before construction of the <br /> facility. The review of such plans and operating procedures will in no way relieve <br /> the user from the responsibility of modifying the facility as necessary to produce an <br /> acceptable discharge to the City under the provisions of this ordinance. <br /> Within ninety (90) days after the completion of the wastewater pretreatment <br /> facility, the discharger shall furnish as built drawings and its operations and <br /> maintenance procedures. Any subsequent significant changes in the pretreatment <br /> facility or method of operation shall be reported to and approved by the Director <br /> prior to the initiation of the changes. <br /> New sources, and new users determined to be Significant Industrial Users (SIUs) <br /> must have pretreatment facilities installed and operating prior to discharge, if <br /> required. <br /> B. Pretreatment Facilities for FOG: The City shall approve installation of grease <br /> removal and treatment systems. Systems shall meet the following criteria. <br /> 1) All grease traps shall, at a minimum, comply with the requirements of <br /> Section 7 of the UPC. <br /> 2) No dishwashers are to be discharged to grease traps. <br /> 3) Interceptors must meet the requirements of Appendix H of the UPC, <br /> except that the Director may allow for variances, but in no case shall <br /> interceptors be less than 750 gallons. <br /> 4) Interceptors shall have an effluent sampling box approved by the Director. <br /> 16 <br />
