Subject Agreement for
Delegation of
Responsibilities
Uttleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant
Supervisory Committee
Stewart Fonda. Director of the Wastewater Treatment Plant
188UE/ACTION PROPOSED
Stafr seeks Council support for the attached bill for an ordinance, delegating
responsibility to the Metro Wastewatei: Reclamation District for conducting
Englewood's Pretreatment Program obligations for that portion of Englewood's service
area that discharges to , and ls treated by. the Metro District.
PREVIOUS COUNCD, ACTION
None.
BACKGROUND
The Uttleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant personnel manage the
Industrial Pr,etreatment programs for both Uttleton and Englewood . Management of
the program in<'ludes permitting certain industries regulated by the Environmental
Protection Agt.•.1cy . Several small areas within Englewood city limits discharge
wastewater to the Metro District. One industry, Sterling Stainles!' Tube·. Inc .. which
ls permitted and regulated, Is located In this area. There Is potential for other
industries to locate In this area: however , since 1987, only one industry has fallen
Into the category as defined by EPA.
Englewood and Metro both have pretreatment programs approved by the EPA. Both
are responsible for ensurtng that the industries they regulate me et all the
'
requirements for sampling and reporting . Because each program's requiremen ts are
slightly different. It has created a bureaucratic redundancy for Englewood personnel
and the industry Involved .
Pr1n11 d on Rtcvcled P1 p1r ~
In ...lier to create a more streamlined and efficient use of personnel and resources,
Englewood has proposed to allow the Metro District to assume full responsibility for
administering the program for the Industries that discharge to their plant. The
responstbllity could not have been given to Englewood only, because the treatment
plant that holds the NPDES permit Is ultimately responsible.
Discussions with the Englewood City Attorney , the Metro District, management at
Uttleton/Englewood wwrP, and the affected industries have resulted In this
r ecommended course of action.
STAFF ANALYSIS
Past practice has had the Metro District overseeing the work of Englewood and,
therefore, duplicating much of the paperwork and field work. This will end the
duplication of work for Englewood personnel and cut the cost for the Industry
Involve d .
There is no added cost to the City. The City has an existing contract with the Metro
Distrtct for wastewater treatment for some residential areas and a small area of
Indus trial s ites . Thi s agreement will not affect the contract In any way.
The Metro District will notify Englewood prior to any potential enforcement actions
against an Industry which Is permitted under the Industrial Pretreatment Program.
Therefore, Englewood retains the authority to have Input Into actions prior to ~
Implementation . ....
We anticipa te no negative Impacts to the City by passing this agreement.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial Impact on the City of Englewood forese en as a result of this
proposed ordinance.
