381 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) c) The Ordinance allows CONCORD to seek injunctive relief for noncompliance and to seek and assess civil penalties for noncompliance. d) The Ordinance gives CONCORD the authority to halt or prevent any discharges that present or are likely to present an imminent danger to health, the environment, or that threaten to interfere with the operations of the Rocky River Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. The COUNTY agrees to adopt a Sewer Use Ordinance that parallels the Sewer Use Ordinance adopted by CONCORD, which is consistent with state and federal regulations. The COUNTY's Ordinance shall be amended as necessary to insure that all the requirements of the COUNTY's Ordinance are as stringent as the requirements of CONCORD'$ Sewer Use Ordinance. The COUNTY agrees to require, by ordinance, that all non- domestic dischargers, existing and future file an Application for Permit with CONCORD and to comply with all other provisions of CONCORD's Sewer Use Ordinance. A copy of the draft permit shall first be sent to the COUNTY, by CONCORD, for review and approval. Comments must be received by CONCORD within 14 days from the date received by the COUNTY or the permit shall be sent to the industrial user and the State for approval as drafted. Any changes requested or required by the COUNTY will have to be justified by the COUNTY. If the COUNTY needs to impose any special conditions upon a specific discharger, such as the requirement to equalize flow to protect sewer lines, the COUNTY must notify the discharger and CONCORD. CONCORD shall include these special conditions in the permit. The COUNTY agrees to support the permit limitations or conditions imposed upon a non-domestic discharger, consistent with the COUNTY's and CONCORD's Sewer Use Ordinance and state and federal regulations. CONCORD agrees to provide the COUNTY with copies of all permits and copies of all correspondence with non-domestic dischargers connected to the COUNTY's wastewater collection system. The COUNTY agrees to provide any and all records relating to water use and wastewater discharges by non-domestic users for the purpose of validation of monitoring records and compliance with pretreatment standards and requirements. The COUNTY agrees to control, as provided for in the COUNTY's Sewer Use Ordinance, connections to its wastewater collection system so that all connections meet the requirements of the COUNTY's Sewer Use Ordinance. The staffs of the COUNTY and CONCORD shall meet and agree upon the day to day procedures for the implementation of this agreement. CONCORD's staff shall put the agreed upon procedure in writing and submit to the COUNTY's staff for concurrence. Section B- Surcharge Program CONCORD shall include in the Sewer Use Ordinance the allowable treatment plant influent design discharge limits for BOD, COD, TSS and NH3. Provided the Rocky River Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant has adequate capacity and the capability to comply with the NPDES Permit, a non-domestic discharger will be permitted to discharge in excess of the design limits provided a surcharge is paid and there is no adverse impact on the Rocky River Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant or its operation. Section C- Compensation 1) CONCORD will establish the basis for a Surcharge Rate Structure uniform throughout the systems of CONCORD and COUNTY and consistent with current state and federal regulations. CONCORD will review and update the surcharge rate as necessary to comply with the ordinance and to recover all the cost incurred by the excess loadings (e.g. Surcharge Fees).
