~ G N L ~~~9i <br /> I <br /> ADOPTION 0 INDUSTRIAL PRETREATMENT ORDINANCE <br /> At the Jul 8 City Council meeting, staff from the Wastewater Division will <br /> review the revisions to the Industrial Pretreatment Ordinance. The ordinance <br /> governs ou Industrial Pretreatment Program, which regulates industrial <br /> discharges into the sanitary sewer system. The changes are required as a <br /> result of ecent modifications in federal pretreatment regulations and a new <br /> calculatio of local industrial pollutant discharge limits. <br /> Local regu ations for Eugene's pretreatment program are based on the <br /> Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission's (MWMC) Model Pretreatment <br /> Ordinance. Under an intergovernmental agreement between Lane County and the <br /> cities of Eugene and Springfield, the City of Eugene is required to adopt the <br /> standards in the MWMC Model Ordinance. City staff were closely involved in <br /> the MWMC rdinance revision. <br /> Changes t the MWMC ordinance were recently approved by both the EPA and DEQ <br /> following a lengthy period of negotiations. On June 14, 1991, the MWMC <br /> approved he revisions to their model ordinance. Eugene must now bring its <br /> Industrial Pretreatment Ordinance into compliance with the MWMC Model <br /> Pretreatm nt Ordinance.
