ti <br /> 2.5 Special Agreement <br /> The City reserves the right to enter into special agreements with users setting out special <br /> terms under which they may discharge to the POTW. In no case will a special agreement <br /> waive compliance with a categorical pretreatment standard or federal pretreatment <br /> requirement. <br /> 2.6 Dilution <br /> A user shall not increase the use of process water, or in any way attempt to dilute a <br /> discharge, as a partial or complete substitute for adequate treatment to achieve <br /> compliance with an applicable pretreatment standard or requirement unless expressly <br /> authorized by an applicable pretreatment standard or requirement. The Director may <br /> impose mass limitations on users that he believes may be using dilution to meet <br /> applicable pretreatment standards or requirements, or in other cases when the imposition <br /> of mass limitations is appropriate. <br /> 2.7 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, spill prevention practices, or other <br /> requirements as deemed necessary. <br /> B. If a failure to maintain any GRS results in partial or complete blockage of the <br /> building sewer, private sewer system discharging to the City Sewer System, or <br /> other parts of the City Sewer System, or adversely affects the treatment or <br /> transmission capabilities of the POTW, or requires excessive maintenance by the <br /> City, or poses a possible health hazard, the discharger responsible for the facilities <br /> shall be subject to the remedies herein, including cost recovery, enforcement and <br /> penalties. <br /> 15 u <br />
