COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACi"ION
Th e City adopted the current W as tewa ter Utility Ordinance in 1985. Disch arge limilalions fo r
industr ia l custom~rs were upda ted in 1995 , 1999, 2002, and 2003.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Th e action recomm ended is lo approve th e proposed Pretrea 1m enl Ordinan c~ Sub-c hapler 12-2 -5.
• BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDfNTIFIED
•
The Cily conducts an Industrial Pr el rea lment program to co ntrol induslri al/commercial was tes
entering th e was tewa ter collection and trea tm ent sys tem. Th e program is d es igned to preven t pass
through of pollutants to th e South Plaue Ri ve r, protec t th e co ll ec ti on and trea tm ent sys l em fr om
damage, protect publi c an d worker hea lth and safely, and imp rove opportuniti es l o recycle and
reclaim munici p al and industrial was tewalers an d sludges . Th e need for th e program is contain ed in
the Colo rado Discharge Permit Syst em permit no. 003 2999 issued to lh e ci ti es of Englewood and
Littl eton for th e operati on of th eir wastewater tr ea tment plant
The pretr ea tm ent progr ,m is subj ect to Enviro nm ental Prot ec tion Agency (EPA ) ap proval.
Pr ogram elem ents are outlin ed in EPA's regu lation at 40 CFR Part 40 3 and i nclude requirements for
legal auth o rity' (i.e., cily ord inan cei and th e development and maintenance of loca l limits'. The
EPA-app roved program is subject l o ove rsight by EPA (e.g. in sp ec ti ons, annual reports) tc, ensure
th at program implementation is consistent with EPA regula ti on.
In Jun e 2007, EPA condu cted an audi l of th e program. Th e audit foc used h eav il y upo n legal
auth ority and local limi ls. As suc h, 1he mos t significant recommendations and required acti on< in
the audit rep ort incl ud e items associa ted w ith the se program areas :
• Permitting and enforce m ent ac ti ons : Th e City mu st have au th ority and proce dures for th es e
ac tivities in ils O rd inan ce for industri al use rs in its serv ice dis trict. Fo r se lec ted adminis trati on
' 40 CFR 403 .8 (D (1)
1 40 CFR 403 .5 (c) 11)
and enfo rc eme nt ac ti viti es th e Ci ty ca n delegate authori ty to t11e Sup rv isory Committee. •
Currentl y the au th o rity and process for delega tin g th ese authoriti es is not clea r.
• Local limits: Currently limits apply to all indu stri al and commerci al us ers. Rev isi ons to th e
loca l li mits w ill make th e limits apply to significa nt ind ustri al use rs an d all ow th e pretrea tm ent
sta ff to app ly Bes t Management Prac ti ces to co mmercial users. EPA has adopted new
regulatio ns to pro m o te thi s approach to reg ul ating small er us ers th at would crea te a
significa nt drain o n reso urces thr ough enfo rce m en t of sp cifi limits.
• Incl ud e sp eci fic autho ri ty for administra ti ve o rd ers and adm ini strative p enalties !currentl y,
w hen a pretr ea tm ent vio lati o n occ urs (reportin g, limit, etc), the City is required to prosec ute
th e v iolation through exe rcise of it s criminal enforcement autho rity; Administra ti ve
enforr•ment au th o ri ty all ows th e Ci ty to tak e an ac tion administratively, strea mlining th e
opportunity to reso lve viola tio ns quickl y and effecti vely. Indu stri al use rs typica ll y prefer an
ad ministrative pro cess over a crimin al co urt process.I
• In th e eve nt Industrial Us ers d o not res pond to th e admin istrative process, th e ahility of th e
City to prosecute serious violato rs civi ll y and criminall y is maintain ed.
• Th e authority to develop and impl ement Sec to r Control Programs (e.g., oil/grease, silve r,
s,nd/oil, etc.) is incl uded in the lega l aut~ority !o il/grease is currently in the ordinan ce, but
o ther programs are n o t included!
• Rev ise local limi ts using Te chni cally-bas ed Local Limits Ca lculations based o n fl ows,
hardness, ~WOES criteria, water quality criteria, maximum contaminant level for drinking
water, p rocess inhibitio n, sludge quali ty, worker safe ty, etc.
• Crea te an o rganized, clear Pr etreatment Sub-c hapter in th e Wastewa:c, Utility Ordinan ce
!currentl y Pr etreatmen t requiremen ts are sca ttered in vari o us sub-ch apters th ro ugh o ut the
Wastewater Utility C hapter!. O ld sections are stru c k and a new Sub-c hapter is created.
TI1 e res ults of th e local limits eva luati o n redu ce d limits for all pollutants excep t molybdenum. When
the propose d loca l limits are compared to other pretreatment programs in Colorado and surrounding
states, th e loca l limits are in th e middl e of the pack (i.e. as many programs with more strin ge nt limits as
th ere are progra ms with less st ringent limits).
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There will b e no fo nancial impact o n th e City by ad o ptin g th e proposed amendments to th e
Was tewater Utility Ordinan ce o th er than th ose typically assoc iated w ith program changes,
in clud in g no tifying us ers of th e c hanges, providing user-speci fi c trainin g where neces sary, and
in corporatin g th e c hanges into th e standard o peratin g procedures and boil e rplat e doc um ent use d
