§ 4.28.280. Protection against accidental discharge.  


Latest version.
  • Every user shall provide protective measures against accidental or unauthorized discharges of prohibited wastes, wastewater constituents or characteristics, or volumes into the sewerage facilities as set forth in sections 4.28.030 through 4.28.130 of this chapter, or as may be otherwise set forth in any permit issued pursuant to this chapter. Such measures shall consist of operational or other procedures and/or facilities as determined reasonably necessary or appropriate by the Director of Public Works. All costs of such measures shall be borne by the user.

    The Director of Public Works may specify standard procedures and/or facilities for each classification of user, and, to the extent so specified, he is hereby authorized and directed to require the institution and use of such procedures, and the installation and construction of such facilities for each such classification. Alternatively, the Director of Public Works may require any user to propose such procedures and/or facilities, which proposals shall be submitted to the Director of Public Works for review, with such supporting plans, specifications, data, explanations, or other matters as may reasonably be required by the Director of Public Works in order to ascertain the effectiveness of the procedures and/or facilities proposed. The Director of Public Works may require such revisions, amendments, modifications, or other changes to such proposals, or approve, or reject the same, as the Director of Public Works deems reasonably necessary or appropriate in order that such proposals ensure protection against accidental or unauthorized discharge.
