article for sources in that subcategory, shall immediately super-
sede the limitations imposed under this article.The superintendent
shall notify all affected users of the applicable reporting require-
ments under 40 CFR, Section 403.12. (Ord. No. 795, § 2.2, 6-12-84)
Sec. 16-57. Modification of federal categorical pretreatment
standards.
Where the city's wastewater treatment system achieves con-
sistent removal of pollutants limited by federal pretreatment
standards,the city may apply to the approval authority for modi-
fication of specific limits in the federal pretreatment standards.
"Consistent removal" shall mean reduction in the amount of a
pollutant or alteration of the nature of the pollutant by the
wastewater treatment system to a less toxic or harmless state in
the effluent which is achieved by the system ninety-five (95)per
cent of the samples taken when measured according to the proce-
dures set forth in Section 403.7(cX2) of(Title 40 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 403) "General Pretreatment Regula-
tions for Existing and New Sources of Pollution," promulgated
pursuant to the act. The city may then modify pollutant dis-
charge limits in the federal pretreatment standards if the re-
quirements contained in 40 CFR, Part 403, Section 403.7, are
fulfilled and prior approval from the approval authority is ob-
tained. (Ord. No. 795, § 2.3, 6-12-84)

procedures have been approved by the city. Review and approval
of such plans and operating procedures shall not relieve the
industrial user from the responsibility to modify the user's facil-
ity as necessary to meet the requirements of this article. In the
case of an accidental discharge, it is the responsibility of the user
to immediately telephone and notify the POTW of the incident.
The notification shall include location of discharge,type of waste,
concentration and volume, and corrective actions.
(b) Written notice. Within five (5)days following an accidental
discharge,the user shall submit to the superintendent a detailed
written report describing the cause of the discharge and the
measures to be taken by the user to prevent similar future occur-
rences. Such notification shall not relieve the user of any ex-
pense,loss,damage,or other liability which may be incurred as a
result of damage to the POTW,fish kills, or any other damage to
person or property; nor shall such notification relieve the user of
any fines,civil penalties or other liability which may be imposed
by this article or other applicable law.
(c) Notice to employees. A notice shall be permanently posted
on the user's bulletin board or other prominent place advising
employees whom to call in the event of a dangerous discharge.
