The discharger shall provide all known, available, and reasonable methods of prevention, control, and pretreatment as required to comply with this chapter as well as state and federal regulations, and shall achieve compliance with all applicable pretreatment standards within the time limitations as specified by appropriate statutes, regulations, chapters, and ordinances. Any facilities required to pretreat wastewater to a level acceptable to the city shall be provided, properly operated and maintained at the discharger’s expense. Detailed plans showing the pretreatment facilities shall be submitted to the city for review and must be accepted by the city and the State Department of Ecology before construction of the facility. The review of such plans by the city shall in no way relieve the discharger from the responsibility of modifying its facility as necessary to produce an effluent acceptable to the city under the provisions of this chapter. The discharger shall obtain all necessary construction operating permits from the city. Prior to completion of the wastewater pretreatment facility, the discharger shall furnish its plan of operations and maintenance procedures for the city to review. Such pretreatment facilities shall be under the control and direction of a qualified operator.

Any subsequent proposal for significant changes in the pretreatment facilities or method of operation shall be reported to and be accepted by the State Department of Ecology and the city prior to the discharger’s initiation of the changes.

Pretreatment facilities shall comply with the applicable requirements of WAC 173-216-110, Chapter 173-240 WAC, and RCW 90.48.010. (Ord. 3220 § 2, 2016; Ord. 2742 § 2, 2008; Ord. 1705, 1989. Formerly 14.60.350)
