Pretreatment and Surcharge Program Agreement <br /> Article I <br /> <br />Section A- Pretreatment Program <br /> <br />1) <br /> <br />WSACC agrees to provide, implement, and maintain an approved pretreatment program as <br />required by state and federal laws and regulations for the control of non-domestic <br />discharges, in accordance with 40 CFR Section 403 of the Federal Regulations. <br /> <br />2) <br /> <br />As part of the pretreatment program, WSACC's Sewer Use Ordinance, which shall be <br />amended as necessary to remain consistent with state and federal regulations, contains the <br />conditions and limitations to be met by each non-domestic discharger including federal and <br />state pretreatment standards. This program allows WSACC to deny or conditionally <br />approve new or increased contribution of pollutants and to establish requirements for <br />existing sources. The Sewer Use Ordinance establishes the requirements for filing an <br />Industrial Discharge Permit Application/Survey to discharge non-domestic wastewater into <br />the Rocky River Regional Wastewater System and Muddy Creek Wastewater System. The <br />Sewer Use Ordinance also establishes the following authorities: <br /> <br />Requires existing non-domestic users to develop a compliance schedule for the <br />installation of technology necessary to meet current pretreatment standards and to <br />submit self-monitoring reports. <br /> <br />b) <br /> <br />Gives the staff of WSACC the authority to carry out inspections, surveillances and <br />monitoring procedures necessary to determine compliance. This shall include the <br />right to enter a non-domestic user's premises to examine records of monitoring <br />activities. <br /> <br />Allows WSACC to seek injunctive relief for noncompliance and to seek and assess <br />civil penalties for noncompliance. <br /> <br />Gives WSACC the authority to halt or prevent any discharges that present or are <br />likely to present an imminent danger to health, the environment, or that threaten to <br />interfere with the operations of the Rocky River Regional Wastewater Treatment <br />Plant and the Muddy Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. <br /> <br />e) <br /> <br />Items (a) through (d) above shall not be interpreted as exclusive and, specifically, <br />shall not be interpreted as preventing or restricting the COUNTY from exercising <br />the same rights, privileges, and/or immunities pursuant to their ordinance. <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />
