process or materials storage areas must discharge to the industrial
user's pretreatment facility before connecting with the POTW.
(g) Authority of the Director. When the Director determines
that a user is discharging to the POTW, any of the above numerated
substances in such amounts as to cause pass through or interference
with operation of the POTW, the Director shall advise the user of
the impact of the discharge on the POTW; and may develop effluent
limitation(s) for the user to correct the interference with the
POTW, or require the user to discontinue the discharge.
SECTION 5. SPECIAL RULES RELATING TO INDUSTRIAL DISCHARGERS.
(a) Compliance with Standards. (1) State requirements and
limitations on discharges to the POTW shall be met by all
dischargers which are subject to such standards in any instance in
which they are more stringent than federal requirements and
limitations or those in this or any other applicable ordinance.
(2) No discharger shall increase the use of potable or
processed water in any way for the purpose of diluting a discharge
as a partial or complete substitute for adequate treatment to
achieve compliance with the standards set forth in this ordinance.
(3) Where it is determined to be appropriate the City
may apply mass limitations expressed in pounds per day of pollutant
discharged.
(b) Federal Categorical Pretreatment Standards. Upon the
promulgation of the federal categorical pretreatment standards for
a particular industrial subcategory, the federal standard, if more
stringent than limitations imposed under this ordinance for sources
in that subcategory, shall immediately supersede the limitations
imposed under this ordinance. It shall be the responsibility of
each user to be knowledgeable of all regulations applicable to the
user. Failure of the Director to identify new users or to notify
existing users of new federal regulations shall not relieve the
user of the requirement of compliance.
(c) Accidental Discharges.
(1) Protection. Each discharger shall provide
protection from accidental discharge of prohibited or regulated
materials or substances established by this ordinance. Where
necessary, facilities to prevent accidental discharge of prohibited
materials shall be provided and maintained at the discharger's cost
and expense. When applicable, detailed plans showing facilities
and operating procedures to provide this protection ("spill plan")
shall be submitted to the City for review, and shall be approved
by the City before construction of the facility.
(2) Spill Plan. Approved pretreatment programs must
evaluate, at least once every two years, whether each significant
industrial user needs a spill plan (40 CFR 403.8(f) (2) (v)), to
control slug discharges as defined under 40 CFR 403.5(b). If the
POTW decides that a plan is needed, the plan shall contain at least
the following elements:
(A) description of discharge practices, including
nonroutine batch discharges;
(B) description of stored chemicals;
(C) procedures for promptly notifying the POTW of
slug discharges including any discharge that would violate a
specific prohibition under 40 CFR 403.5(b), and procedures for
follow-up written notification within five days;
(D) if necessary, procedures to prevent adverse
impact from accidental spills, including inspection and maintenance
of storage areas, handling and transfer of materials, loading and
unloading operations, control of plant site run-off, worker
training, building of containment structures or equipment, measures
for containing toxic organic pollutants (including solvents),
and/or measures and equipment for emergency response; and
(E) if necessary, follow-up practices to limit the
damage suffered by the treatment plant or the environment.
(3) User's Responsibility. Review and approval of these
plans and operating procedures shall not relieve the industrial
user from the responsibility to modify the user's facilities as
necessary to meet the requirements of this ordinance.
(4) Notices.
(A) Telephone Notice. In the case of an accidental
discharge, it is the responsibility of the user to immediately
telephone and notify the city of the incident. The notification
shall include location of discharge, type of waste, concentration
and volume, and corrective actions.
(B) written Notice. Within five (5) days following
an accidental discharge: the user shall submit to the Director a
detailed written report describing the cause of the discharge and
the measures to be taken by the user to prevent similar future
occurrences. This notification shall not relieve the user of any
expense, loss, damage, fine, civil penalty, or other liability
which may be incurred as a result of damage to the POTW, fish
kills, or any other damage to person or property.
(C) Notice to Employees. A notice shall be
permanently posted on the user's bulletin board or other prominent
place advising employees whom to call in the event of a dangerous
discharge. Employers shall insure that all employees who may cause
or suffer such a dangerous discharge to occur are advised of the
emergency notification procedure.
(d) Wastewater Discharges into Private Sewer systems.
All dischargers who discharge wastewater into a private sewer
system shall comply with this ordinance provided, however, that
flow measurement may be based on metered wa=er consumption. Each
discharger shall provide an agreement, signed by the owner of the
sewer system, which authorizes the City's personnel to enter onto
the owner's property for purposes of inspection and monitoring of
discharger's premises, and for enforcement pursuant to the terms
of this ordinance.
(e) Prohibition of Bypass. (1) Bypass of a
discharger's treatment equipment or treatment facility is
prohibited and the City may take enforcement action against the
discharger unless:
(A) the bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of
life, personal injury, or severe property damage;
(B) there were no feasible alternatives to the
bypass, such as use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention
of untreated wastewater, or maintenance during normal periods of
downtime. This condition is not satisfied if, in the exercise of
reasonable engineering judgment, adequate back-up ecp/ipment should
have been, installed to prevent a bypass which occurred during
normal periods of equipment downtime or maintenance; and
notice of the
of
(C) the discharger submitted advanced, written
need for a bypass.
(2) The discharger shall submit oral notice to the city
an unanticipated bypass that exceeds categorical pretreatment
standards or other discharge limits within 24 hours of the time
the discharger becomes aware of the bypass. Written notice shall
be provided within 5 days of the time the discharger becomes aware
of the bypass. Written notice shall include a description of the
bypass and its causes, duration of the bypass, steps taken to
prevent the reoccurrence of the bypass, and must be signed by the
authorized representative of the discharger.
(3) The city may approve an anticipated bypass, after
considering its adverse effects, if it determines that the bypass
will meet all of the conditions of paragraph (1) above.
(f) Notification of Hazardous Waste Discharges. Ail
dischargers shall notify the City, the EPA Regional Waste
Management Division Director, and the Texas Water commission
Hazardous and Solid Waste Division Director, in writing of any
discharge into a POTW of any substance, which, if otherwise
disposed of, would be a hazardous waste under 40 CFR Part 261. Any
notification under this paragraph must be submitted in conformance
with 40 CFR Part 403.12 (p).

(d) Report of Changed Conditions. Each industrial user is
required to notify the City of any planned significant changes to
the industrial user's operations or system which might alter the
nature, quality or volume of its wastewater at least thirty (30)
days before the change. The City may deny or condition new or
increased discharges of pollutant or changes in the nature of
pollutants, to the POTW by industrial users where discharges do not
meet applicable pretreatment standards and requirements or where
discharges would cause the POTW to violate its NPDES permit.
(1) The City may require the industrial user to submit

(f) Report of the Discharge of Hazardous Waste [(40 CFR
403.12(p) (i) (2)]-
(1) Any industrial user who commences the discharge of
hazardous waste shall notify the City, the EPA Regional Waste
Management Division Director, and state hazardous waste authorities
in writing of any discharge into the POTW of a substance which, if
otherwise disposed of, would be a hazardous waste under 40 CFR Part
261. This notification must include the name of the hazardous
waste as set forth in 40 CFR Part 261, the EPA hazardous waste
number, and the type of discharge (continuous, batch, or other).
If the industrial user discharges more than 100 kilograms of the
waste per calendar month to the POTW, the notification shall also
contain the following information to the extent the information
is known and readily available to the industrial user:
(A) an identification of the hazardous constituents
contained in the wastes;
(B) an estimation of the mass and concentration of
the constituents in the wastestream discharged during that calendar
month; and
(C) an estimation of the mass of constituents in
thewastestream expected to be discharged during the following
twelve(12) months.
(2) Ail notifications must take place no later than 180
days after discharge commences. Any notification under this
paragraph need be submitted only once for each hazardous waste
discharged. However, notifications of changed discharges must be
submitted under Section 7(d). The notification requirement in
this section does not apply to pollutants already reported under
the self-monitoring requirements of this section.
(3) Dischargers are exempt from the requirements of
Paragraph 1 above during a calendar month in which they discharge
no more than fifteen (15) kilograms of hazardous wastes, unless
wastes are acute hazardous wastes as specified in 40 CFR 261.30(d)
and 261.33(e). Discharge of more than fifteen (15) kilograms of
non-acute hazardous wastes in a calendar month, or of any quantity
of acute hazardous wastes as specified in 40 CFR 261.30(d) and
261.33(e), requires a one-time notification. Subsequent months
during which the industrial user discharges more than such
quantities of any hazardous waste do not require additional
notification.
(4) In the case of any new regulations under Section
3001 of RCRA identifying additional characteristics of hazardous
waste or listing any additional substance as a hazardous waste, the
industrial user must notify the City, the EPA Regional Waste
Management Waste Division Director, and state hazardous waste
authorities of the discharge of the substance within 90 days of the

section, the industrial user shall certify that it has a program
in place to reduce the volume and toxicity of hazardous wastes
generated to the degree it has determined to be economically
practical.
(g) Timing. Written reports will be deemed to have been
submitted on the date postmarked. For reports which are not
mailed, postage prepaid, into a mail facility serviced by the U.S.
Postal Service, the date of receipt of the report shall govern.
(h) Wastewater Survey Requirement. When requested by the
City an industrial user must submit information on the nature and
characteristics of its wastewater by completing a wastewater survey
before commencing its discharge. The City is authorized to prepare
a form for this purpose and may periodically require industrial
users to update the survey. Failure to complete this survey shall
be reasonable grounds ~or terminating service to the industrial
user and shall be considered a violation of this ordinance.
(i) Report Certification statement (40 CFR 403.6(a)(2)(ii).
Ail reports submitted shall contain the following certification
statement and shall be signed by the authorized representative for
the user:
"I certify under penalty of law that this document and all

(a) Location. The City may require to be provided and
operated at the user's own expense, monitoring facilities to allow
inspection, sampling, and where necessary flow measurement of the
building sewer or internal drainage systems. The monitoring
facility should normally be situated on the user's premises, but
the City may, when such a location would be impractical or cause
undue hardship on the user, allow the facility to be constructed
in the public right-of-way area and located so that it will not be
obstructed by landscaping or parked vehicles.
(b) Construction and Maintenance. Whether constructed on
public or private property, the sampling and monitoring facilities
shall be provided in accordance with the city's requirements and
all applicable local construction standards and specifications.
Construction shall be completed within an adequate time frame as
established by the City. There shall be ample room in or near the
sampling manhole or facility to allow accurate sampling and
preparation of samples for analysis. The facility, sampling, and
measuring equipment shall be maintained at all times in a safe and
proper operating condition at the expense of the user.
SECTION 10. INSPECTION ~ SAMPLING.
(a) Access to Premises. The city shall inspect the
facilities of any user to ascertain whether the purpose of this
ordinance is being met and all requirements are being complied
with. Persons or occupants of premises where wastewater is created
or discharged shall allow the City or their representative ready
access at all reasonable times to all parts of the premises for the
purposes of:
(1) inspection;
(2) sampling; or
(3)
their duties.
records examination or in the performance of any of
(b) Security Identification. The City, state, and EPA shall
have the right to set up on the user's property at any time such
devices as are necessary to conduct compliance monitoring or
metering operations. Where a user has security measures in force
which would require proper identification and clearance or devices
before entry into their premises, the user shall make necessary
arrangements with their security guards or ~ersonnel so that upon
presentation of suitable identification, personnel from the city
and EPA will be permitted to enter, without delay, for the purposes
of performing their specific responsibilities. The City and EPA
shall conform with all safety requirements routinely required by
the user of the user's employees and guests.
(o) Search Warrants. If the City has been refused access to
a building, structure, or property or any part thereof, and if the
City has demonstrated probable cause to believe that there may be
a violation of this ordinance or that there is a need to inspect
as part of a routine inspection program of the City designed to
verify compliance with this ordinance or any permit or order issued
hereunder, or to protect the overall public health, safety and
welfare of the community, then upon application by the City
Attorney, the Municipal Court Judge of the City shall issue a
search and/or seizure warrant describing the specific location
subject to the warrant. The warrant shall specify what, if
anything, may be searched and/or seized on the property described.
The warrant shall be served at reasonable hours in the company of
a uniformed police officer of the City. In the event of an
emergency affecting public health and safety, inspections shall be
made without the issuance of a warrant.
(d) Analytical Requirements. Ail pollutant analyses,
including sampling techniques, to be submitted as part of a
wastewater discharge permit application or report shall be
performed in accordance with the techniques prescribed in 40 CFR
Part 136, unless otherwise specified in an applicable categorical
pretreatment standard. If 40 CFR Part 136 does not contain
sampling or analytical techniques for the pollutant in question,
sampling and analyses must be performed in accordance with
procedures approved by the EPA.
(e) Sample Collection.
(1) Except as indicated in (e) (2) below, the industrial
user must collect wastewater samples using flow proportional
composite collection techniques. In the event flow proportional
sampling is infeasible, the City or the permit may authorize the
use of time proportional sampling or through a minimum of four
grab samples where the user demonstrates that this will provide a
representative sample of the effluent being discharged. In
addition, grab samples may be required to show compliance with
instantaneous discharge limits.
(2) Samples for oil and grease, temperature, pH,
cyanide, phenols, toxicity, sulfides, and volatile organic
chemicals must be obtained using grab collection techniques.
(f) Determination of Noncompliance. The City, State or EPA
may use a grab sample(s) to determine noncompliance with
was%e, ord - 3 2 -
pretreatment standards.
SECTION 11. PRETREATMENT.
Users shall provide necessary wastewater treatment as required
to comply with this ordinance and shall achieve compliance with all
federal categorical pretreatment standards within the time
limitations as specified by the federal pretreatment standards.
Any facilities required to pretreat wastewater to a level
acceptable to the City shall be provided, operated, and maintained
at the user's expense. Detailed plans showing the pretreat~ent
facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the City
for review, and shall be acceptable to the City before construction
of the facility. The review of such plans and operating procedures
will in no way relieve the user from the responsibility of
modifying the facility as necessary to produce an effluent
acceptable to the City under the provisions of this ordinance. A~y
subsequent changes in the pretreatment facilities or method of
operation shall be reported to and be acceptable to the City prior
to the user's initiation of the changes.
SECTION 12. CONFIDENTIAL INFOR/(ATION.
(a) Information and data on a user obtained from reports,
questionnaires, permit applications, permits and monitoring
programs and from inspections shall be available to the public or
other governmental agency without restriction unless the user
specifically requests and is able to demonstrate to the
satisfaction of the City that such information is excepted to
public disclosure by Article 6252-17(a), Vernon's Annotated Texas
civil Statutes.
(b) When requested by the person furnishing a report, the
portions of a report which might disclose trade secrets or secret
processes shall not be made available for inspection by the public
but shall be made available upon request to governmental agencies
for uses related to this ordinance, the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, State Disposal System
permit or the Pretreatment Programs; provided, however, that such
portions of a report shall be available for use by the state or any
state agency in judicial review or enforcement proceedings
involving the person furnishing the report. Wastewater
constituents and characteristics will not be recognized as
confidential information.
SECTION 13. ENFORCEMENT.
(a) Harmful Discharges.
(1) The City may suspend the City provided utility
services (including, but not limited to water service) or a permit
when such suspension is necessary, in the opinion of the City, in

steps as necessary, including immediate severance of the sewer
connection, to prevent or minimize damage to the POTW system or
danger to any individuals.
(3) The City shall reinstate the permit or the City
provided utility services upon proof of the elimination of the non-

user describing the causes of the harmful discharge and the
measures taken to prevent any future occurrence shall be submitted
to the City within 10 days of the date of occurrence.

such hearings;
(B) take the evidence; and
(C) transmit a report of the evidence and hearing,
including transcripts and other evidence, together with
recommendations to the City Council for action thereon.
(3) At any hearing held pursuant to this ordinance,

The transcript, so recorded, will be made available to any member
of the public or any party to the hearing upon payment of the usual
charges thereof.

facilities, devices or other related appurtenances shall have been
installed; or
(C) existing treatment facilities, devices, or
other related appurtenances are properly operated; or
(D) further orders, directives and agreements as
are necessary and appropriate may be issued.
(e) Compliance Orders. When the City Council finds that a

discontinued unless adequate treatment facilities, devices, or
other related appurtenances are installed and properly operated.
Compliance orders may also contain other requirements to address
the noncompliance, including additional selfmonitoring, and
management practices designed to minimize the amount of pollutants
discharged to the sewer. A compliance order may not extend the
deadline for compliance established for a federal pretreatment
standard or requirement, nor does a compliance order release the
user of liability for any violation, including any continuing
violation. Issuance of a compliance order shall not be a
prerequisite to taking any other action against the user.
(f) Cease and Desist Orders. (1) When the City finds that
a user is violating this ordinance, the user's wastewater discharge
permit, any order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment
standard or requirement, or that the user's past violations are
likely to recur, the City may issue an order to the user directing
it to cease and desist all violations and directing the user to:
(A) immediately comply with all requirements; and
(B) take such appropriate remedial or preventive
action as may be needed to properly address a continuing or
threatened violation, including halting operations or terminating
the discharge.

or other wastes into the City's wastewater disposal system contrary
to the provisions of this ordinance, federal or state pretreatment
requirements, or any order of the city, the city Attorney may
commence an action for appropriate legal or equitable relief in the
municipal, county, district or state court having jurisdiction.
(2) The revocation of a permit or discontinuance of
water/sewer services does not negate the city's right to seek other
legal remedies including, but not limited to:
(A) civil fines;
(B) in]unctions, or
(C) the recovery of
incurred cost to the City.
