Every person granted an industrial waste permit under this title shall pay an annual quality surcharge fee for wastes discharged into the sanitary sewer system pursuant to the following formula: C = V [a(SS -250) + b(BOD - 230)] k where "C" is the quality surcharge fee; "V" is the average daily volume of waste discharged in gallons, based on (1) the volume of water supplied to the premises less an amount determined by the Public Works Director to account for water not discharged into the sanitary sewer system, or (2) the metered volume of waste discharged into the sanitary sewer system according to a measuring device approved by the Public Works Director, or (3) a figure determined by the Public Works Director based on any other equitable method; "SS" is the suspended solids in the waste discharged, expressed in ;milligrams per liter; "BOD" is the five day biochemical oxygen demand of the waste discharged, expressed in milligrams per liter; "a" is the cost assessed for each pound of suspended solids, and such cost shall be fixed and established from time to time by the City Council by Resolution; "b" is the cost assessed for each pound of biochemical oxygen demand, and such cost shall be fixed and established from time to time by the City Council by Resolution; "k" is 385 X 8.34 1,000,000 a dimensional constant to convert C to dollars. If the term containing SS or BOD is negative, a value of zero shall be used for that term. SS and BOD analyses shall be made in accordance with "Standard Methods." In determining the annual quality sur- charge fee, the Public Works Director may use industrial averages for SS and BOD values. The Public Works Director may group permit holders into discharge volume ranges. Where volume measurement at the premises of a permit holder is impractical for physical, economic or other reasons, these volume ranges may be used in establishing the quality surcharge fee. 7.20.140 APPEAL FROM ANNUAL QUALITY SURCHARGE FEE. Any permit holder whose annual quality surcharge fee has been determined in the manner provided and who believes the discharge volume range applied to his premises is incorrect, may submit engineering data to the Public Works Director. If the Public Works Director finds the discharge of the permit holder differs significantly from the volume range which was applied, he may adjust the fee. 7.20.150 REVIEW OF ANNUAL QUALITY SURCHARGE FEE. The Public Works Director shall annually review the rates assessed in Section 7.20.130 for SS and BOD and make a written recommendation to the City Council concerning rate -13- adjustments necessary to recover revenue from industrial waste dischargers 'Co pay the cost to the City of treating sewer discharge in excess of domestic quality. 7.20.160 ANNUAL COST OF TREATMENT FEE.

The Public Works Director may suspend an Industrial Waste- water Permit when such suspension is necessary in order to stop a discharge which presents an imminent hazard to the public health, safety or welfare, to the local environment, or which either singly or by interaction with other dis- charges, is an imminent hazard to the sewer system, the storm drain system, or the Waters of the State, or places the City in violation of its NPEDS permit. Any discharger notified of a suspension of that discharger's Industrial Wastewater Permit shall immediately cease and desist the discharge of all industrial wastewater to the sewer system. In the event of a failure of the discharger to comply vol- untarily with the suspension order, the Public Works Director may take such steps as are reasonably necessary to ensure compliance. These include, but are not limited to, immediate blockage or disconnection of the discharger's connection to the sewer system. In- addition, the Public Works Director, in the event of violation of this Chapter, may serve the discharger with a notice of an intended order suspension, stating the reasons therefor, the opportunity for a hearing with respect thereto, and the proposed effective date of the intended order. Any discharger suspended or served with a notice of an intended order of suspension may file with the City Clerk a request for a City Council hearing with respect thereto. Filing of such a request shall not stay a suspension. In the event of a suspension of a permit due to imminent hazard related to continued discharge, the discharger may request a hearing, and the City Council or a hearing examiner desig- nated by the City Council for that purpose shall conduct a hearing within three days of receipt of the request. In the event of hearing requests, for other than an imminent hazard suspension, the City Council shall hold a hearing on the suspension within 14 days of receipt of the request. At the close of the hearing the City Council shall make its deter- mination whether to terminate, or conditionally terminate the suspension imposed by the Public Works Director, or the City Council may cause the permit to be revoked. Except in the case of a hearing within three days being required as above provided, reasonable notice of the hearing shall be given to the suspended discharger in the manner provided for in Section 7.26.050. -17- In the event that the City Council fails to meet within the time set forth above or fails to make a determination within 72 hours after the close of the hearing, the order of sus- pension shall be stayed until a City Council determination is made with respect to the action of the Public Works Director. The Public Works Director shall reinstate the Industrial Wastewater Permit upon proof of compliance which ends the emergency nature of the hazard created by the discharge that had been cause for the Public Works Director to initiate the suspension, provided that the Public Works Director is satisfied that all discharge requirements of this Chapter, City Council Rules and Regulations, and any City Council order will be implemented. 7.26.020 REVOCATION OF INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER PERMIT. The City Council may revoke an Industrial Wastewater Permit upon finding that the discharger has violated any provision of this title or the Council Rules and Regulations. No revocation shall be ordered until a notice and hearing on the question has been held by the Council as provided in Sections 7.26.040 and 7.26.050. 7.26.030 ADDITIONAL EMERGENCY REMEDIAL MEASURES. The Public Works Director shall have full power and authority to take any necessary precautions including but not limited to, decontamination, sewer closure, packaging, diking, and transportation of materials, in order to protect life, pro- tect property, or prevent further damage resulting from a condition that is likely to result in a discharge which presents an imminent hazard to the public health, safety or welfare; or which either singly or by interaction with other discharges, is an imminent hazard to the sewer system; or which places the City in violation of its NPDES permit. In the pursuit of such an operation, City personnel, any party contracting with the City, or duly authorized representative of another government agency shall have immediate access to the premises. The Public Works Director may prohibit approach to the scene of such emergency by any person, vehicle, vessel or thing, and all persons not actually employed in the extinguishment of the condition or the preservation of lives and property in the vicinity thereof. 7.26.040 CITY COUNCIL HEARING - APPOINTMENT OF HEARING EXAMINER. With respect to permit revocation or suspension hearings, the City Council may conduct the hearing or may appoint one or more examiners or designate one or more of its members to serve as hearing examiners and to conduct a hearing with respect to any appeal or protest filed.
