indirectly, any of the following described substances into the
wastewater disposal system or otherwise to the facilities of the
City:
A. Any liquids, solids, or gases which by reason of their
nature or quantity are, or may be sufficient either alone or by
interaction with other substances to cause fire or explosion or
be injurious in another way to the POTW or to the operation of the
POTW. At no time shall two successive readings on an explosion
hazard meter, at the point of discharge into the system (or at
any point in the system), be more than five percent (5 %) nor any
single reading over ten percent (10 %) of the Lower Explosive Limit
(LEL) of the meter. Prohibited materials include, but are not

mg /1 or containing substances which may solidify or become viscous
at temperatures between thirty -two degrees Fahrenheit (32 °F) or
zero degrees Centigrade (0 °C) and one hundred fifty degrees
Fahrenheit (150 °F) or sixty -five degrees Centigrade (65 °C).
C. Any garbage that has not been properly shredded. The
installation and operation of any garbage grinder equipped with
a motor of three fourths (3/4) horse power (0.76 hp metric) or
greater shall be subject to the review and approval of the Public
Works Director.
D. Any soluble waste or wastes having a PH lower than 5.0
or higher than 9.0 or having any other corrosive property which
-6-
reasonably could be hazardous to structures, equipment, or person-
nel of the City, such as, but not limited to, battery or plating
acids and wastes, copper sulfate, chromium salts and compounds,
or salt brine.
E. Any wastewater containing toxic pollutants in sufficient
quantity, either singly or by interaction to injure or interfere
with any wastewater treatment process, constitute a hazard to
humans or animals, or to exceed the limitation set forth in
National Categorical Pretreatment Standards, Appendix B hereto.
A toxic pollutant shall include, but not be limited to, any
pollutant identified in the Toxic Pollutant List set forth in
Federal Priority Pollutant List, Appendix A.
F. Any noxious or malodorous liquids, gases,
which either single or by interaction are capable of
public nuisance or hazard to life or are sufficient
the
or solids
creating a
to
prevent
entry into the sewers for their maintenance and repair.
G. Any substance which may cause the POTW's effluent or
treatment residues, sludges, or scums, to be unsuitable for
reclamation and reuse or to interfere with the reclamation
process. (In no case, shall such a substance discharged to the
POTW cause the POTW to be in noncompliance with sludge use or
disposal criteria, guidelines or regulations developed under
Section 405 of the Act; any criteria, guidelines, or regulations
affecting sludge use or disposal developed pursuant to the Solid
Waste Disposal Act, the Clean Air Act, the Toxic Substances
Control Act, or State standards applicable to the sludge manage-
ment method being used.)

J. Any liquid or vapor having a temperature higher than
150 °F (65 °C) or having temperatures sufficient to cause the
influent to the treatment plant to exceed 104 °F (40 °C). If, in
the opinion of the Public Works Director, lower temperatures of
such wastes could harm either the sewers, sewage treatment
process, or equipment; have an adverse effect on the receiving
streams or otherwise endanger life, health, or property; or
constitute a nuisance, the Public Works Director may prohibit such
discharges.
K. Any slugload, which shall mean any pollutant, including
oxygen demanding pollutants (BOD, etc.), released in a single
extraordinary discharge episode of such volume or strength as to
cause interference to the POTW.
L. Any unpolluted water including, but not limited to, non -
contact cooling water, unless otherwise approved.
M. Any wastewater containing any radioactive wastes or
isotopes of such halflife or concentration as exceed limits estab-
lished by the City in compliance with applicable State or Federal
Regulations.
N. Any wastewater which causes a hazard to human life or
creates a public nuisance.

wise in writing by the Public Works Director:
1. A standard five (5) day biochemical oxygen demand
greater than four hundred (400) milligrams per liter or fifty (50)
pounds in any one day load.
2. Wastes containing more than four hundred (400)
milligrams per liter of suspended solids or fifty (50) pounds in
any one 4-ay load.
3. A flow of fifty thousand (50,000) gallons or more

prohibited materials shall be provided and maintained at the
Discharger's cost and expense. Detailed plans showing facilities
and operating procedures to provide this protection shall be
submitted to the City for review within 180 days after notifica-
tion, and shall be approved by the City before construction of the
facility. Each existing Discharger where required by the Director
of Public Works shall complete its plan and submit same to the
City. No Discharger who discharges to the POTW shall be permitted
to introduce pollutants into the system until Accidental Discharge
Protection Procedures have been approved by the City. Review and
approval of such plans and operating procedures by the City shall
not relieve the Discharger from the responsibility to modify its
facility as necessary to meet the requirements of this Chapter.
Dischargers shall notify the City immediately upon the
occurrence of a "slugload ", or accidental discharge of substances
prohibited by this Chapter. The notification shall include
location of discharge, date and time thereof, type of waste,
concentration and volume, and corrective actions. Any Discharger
who discharges a slugload of prohibited materials shall be liable
for any expense, loss or damage to the POTW Municipal Sewer
System, in addition to the amount of any fines imposed on the City
on account thereof under State or Federal law.
Signs shall be permanently posted in conspicuous places

tion and are not assignable to another SID MID without the prior
written approval of the City, or transferable to any other
location.
D. Monitoring.
1. Where required, the BIB MID shall provide
monitoring facilities, installed and maintained at all times at
the SID'a MID's expense, to allow inspection, sampling and flow
measurement at locations specified in the IWA. There shall be
ample room in and near such monitoring facilities to allow
accurate sampling and monitoring equipment to be installed and to
prepare samples for analysis. Such facilities shall be accessible
to authorized representatives of the City at all times upon
presentation of suitable identification from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00
P.M. five days per week, provided that authorized representatives
of the City personnel shall, under exceptional circumstances, have
access upon presentation of suitable identification from 8:00 A.M.
to 5:00 P.M. seven days per week. Where required by Federal or
State Regulations, such monitoring facilities shall be provided
at the end of a process or unit production from which regulated
toxic pollutants are discharged.
2. The SIB MID shall retain wastewater monitoring
records for a period of three (3) years. During this period said
records shall be available for inspection and duplication by
authorized representatives of the City.
3. The SIB MID shall notify the City prior to the
introduction of new wastewater or pollutants or any substantial
change in the volume or characteristics of the wastewater being
introduced into the POTW from the User's processes. Formal
written notification shall follow within 30 days of such
introduction.
The £-B MID shall notify the City immediately upon
any accidental or slug discharge to the sanitary sewer as outlined
in the industrial spill reporting requirements of the City.
4. No IWA shall be issued to any SID MID whose
discharge of pollutants to the sanitary sewer, whether shown upon

the application or determined after inspection, monitoring or
analysis by the City, is not in conformance with Federal, State
or City laws, ordinances or regulations. The City may grant
variances of City standards and requirements in accordance with
this Chapter.
E. Compliance.
1. The terms and conditions of the IWA are subject to
modification by the City during the term of the IWA as limitations
or requirements are modified or for other just cause. The user
shall be informed of any proposed changes in this IWA at least
thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of change. Changes
or additions to the IWA shall include a time schedule for
compliance.
2. Not later than fourteen (14) days following each
date in the compliance schedule and the final date for compliance
given by the SID MID in the Data Disclosure Form and included as
part of the IWA, the SID MID shall submit a progress report to the
City. This report must indicate whether or not the increment of
progress was met on the date on which the €+D MID expects to
comply with the increment of progress, the reason for delay, and
what steps are being taken by the SID MID to return to the
schedule established. In no event shall more than six (6) months
elapse between such progress reports to the City.
The compliance dates for the increments of progress
given the compliance schedule will be revised only at the discre-
tion of the City. Failure to meet the compliance dates without
just reason for delay is a violation of the conditions of the IWA.
3. Compliance Date Report: Within ninety (90) days
following the date for final compliance by the SID MID with
applicable Pretreatment Standards set forth in this Chapter or
following commencement of the introduction of wastewater into the
POTW by a New Discharger, any Discharger subject to this Chapter
-17-
shall submit to the City a report indicating the nature and
concentration of all prohibited or regulated substances contained
in its discharge, and the average and maximum daily flow in
gallons. The report shall state whether the applicable Pretreat-
ment Standards or Requirements are being met on a consistent basis
and, if not, what additional 0 & M and /or pretreatment is neces-
sary to bring the Discharger into compliance with applicable
Pretreatment Standards or Requirements. This Statement shall be
signed by an authorized representative of the Discharger, and
certified to by a qualified engineer, where applicable, licensed
to practice in the State of Washington.
4. Periodic Compliance Reports:
a. Any Discharger subject to a Pretreatment
Standard set forth in this Chapter, after the compliance date of
such Pretreatment Standard, or, in the case of a New Discharger,
after commencement of the discharge to the City, shall submit to
the City during the months of June and December, unless required
more frequently by the City, a report indicating the nature and
concentration of prohibited or regulated substances in the
effluent which are limited by the Pretreatment Standards hereof.
In addition, this report shall include a report of all measured
or estimated average and maximum daily flows during the reporting
period. Flows shall be reported on the basis of actual measure-
ment; provided, however, where cost or feasibility considerations
justify, the City may accept reports of average and maximum flows
estimated by verifiable techniques. The City, for good cause
shown, considering such factors as local high or low flow rates,
holidays, budget cycles, or other extenuating factors, may
authorize the submission of said reports in months other than
those specified above.
b. Reports of Dischargers shall contain all
results of sampling and analysis of the discharge, including the
-18-
flow and the nature and concentration, or production and mass
where required by the City. The frequency of monitoring by the
Discharger shall be prescribed in an IWA. All analyses shall be
performed in accordance with procedures established by the
Director of Public Works pursuant to Section 304(g) of the Act
and contained in 40 CFR Part 136 and amendments thereto or with
any other test procedures approved by the Director. Sampling
shall be performed in accordance with the techniques approved by
the Director. Where 40 CFR Part 136 does not include sampling or
analytical techniques for the pollutants in question, or where the
Director determines that the Part 136 sampling and analytical
techniques are inappropriate for the pollutant in question,
sampling and analyses shall be performed using validated
analytical methods or any other sampling and analytical proce-
dures, including procedures suggested by the City or other
parties, approved by the Director.
F. Revocation and Expiration.
1. The IWA issued to the SID MID by the City may be
revoked when, after inspection, monitoring or analysis, it is
determined that the discharge of wastewater to the sanitary sewer
is in violation of Federal, State, or City laws, ordinances, or
regulations.
The IWA shall be revoked due to falsification or
intentional misrepresentation of data or statements pertaining to
the Data Disclosure Form or any other required reporting form.
2. The City shall notify the SID MID one hundred and
eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the IWA. Within
ninety (90) days of the notification, the SID MID shall apply for
reissuance of the IWA on a form provided by the City.
