Categorical users which are required by the EPA to eliminate and/or reduce the levels of total toxic organics (TTOs) discharged into the sewer system must follow the categorical pretreatment standards for that industry. Those users must also meet the following requirements:

A. Must sample, as part of the initial application requirements, for the organics listed under the TTO limit reasonably expected to be present; and

B. May submit a statement that no TTOs are used at the facility and/or develop a solvent management plan in lieu of continuously monitoring for TTO, if authorized by the director.

If allowed to submit a statement or develop a solvent management plan, the user must routinely submit a certification statement as part of its self-monitoring report that there has been no dumping of concentrated toxic organics into the wastewater and that it is implementing a solvent management plan as approved by the city. The director may require the development and implementation of a solvent management plan in addition to monitoring for TTO. (Ord. 3220 § 2, 2016; Ord. 2742 § 2, 2008)
