 Title IX. PUBLIC WORKS—SEWER
 Chapter 9.12. DISCHARGE OF SEWAGE

  § 9.12.050. Superintendent consideration and action  

Latest version.

  • A.

    The superintendent shall not grant a permit if it appears likely in his opinion that the proposed discharge could harm either the sewers, sewage treatment process, or equipment, or jeopardize the ability of the city to meet the discharge requirements made applicable thereto by other governmental agencies having jurisdiction, could otherwise endanger life, limb, public property, or constitute a public or private nuisance, or if the application therefore does not contain sufficient data to enable reasonable evaluation of said factors.

    In forming his opinion as to the acceptability of the proposed discharge, the superintendent shall give consideration to such factors as the quantities of the subject wastes in relation to flows and velocities in the sewers, materials of construction of the sewers, nature of the sewage treatment process, capacity of the sewage treatment plant, degree of treatability of the discharge in the treatment plant and other pertinent factors.

    B.

    The superintendent shall act upon the application within 30 days of its receipt in his office. He shall either approve, conditionally approve or deny the issuance of a permit. The superintendent may condition the issuance of the permit upon any or all of the following:

    1.

    Pretreatment of the proposed discharge to an acceptable condition for discharge to the public sewers, or

    2.

    Control by the discharger over the quantities, qualities and rates of his discharge, or

    3.

    Payment to the city of additional charges to cover the added costs of handling the treatment of the proposed discharge not covered by sewer service charges imposed by sections 9.12.080 through 9.12.120 of this chapter.

    4.

    Payment to the city of additional charges to cover the added costs of periodic sampling and monitoring of the quantities, qualities and rates of discharge.

    Notice of the action by the superintendent on each application shall be given in writing to the applicant within seven days from the date of determination.
