Waste Hauler discharging wastes at a unpermitted discharge point (second <br /> violation). The commenter questioned what happened following the first violation, <br /> and why an irresponsible hauler would be given a second chance. <br /> Finding: The penalty for the first incident of discharging at an unpermitted <br /> discharge point is raised from $500 to $1000 in the proposed changes to the <br /> Enforcement Response Guide. Escalating or progressive enforcement is included <br /> throughout the Enforcement Response Guide, and is a requirement in the federal <br /> pretreatment regulations for preparation of enforcement plans. Allowing a hauler <br /> a second chance following a first violation is in accordance with this philosophy. <br /> Following a second violation, a hauler's permit would be revoked, and discharge <br /> privileges removed. <br /> F. In addition to the specific findings set forth above, I find that the proposed <br /> revisions are consistent with the directions of the City Council, and are necessary in order <br /> to recover the City's costs associated with monitoring the City's industrial pretreatment <br /> program and achieving compliance therewith by industrial users in accordance with the <br /> Council's recent amendment of Section 2.018(5) of the Eugene Code, 1971 which <br /> increased the maximum amount of civil penalty that may be imposed for violations of that <br /> program. <br /> On the basis of these findings, I order that: <br /> 1. Appendix A, Industrial Pretreatment Program Enforcement Response Guide <br /> is hereby amended as proposed, as reflected in the attachment hereto, which is <br /> incorporated herein by reference. <br /> 2. The City Recorder is directed to replace the Appendix A attached to <br /> Administrative Order No. 58-93-17 with a copy of the Appendix A attached hereto, and to <br /> reflect this amendment thereon and in the City's records. <br /> Dated and effective this ~ day of Oc ber, 1997. <br /> Vicki Elmer <br /> City Manager <br /> <br /> Administrative Order - 6 10/22/97 <br /> <br />
