NOTES <br /> 1. Definitions (for other definitions see Eugene City Code 6.405): <br /> Director =City of Eugene Wastewater Division Director <br /> Supervisor =City of Eugene Industrial Pretreatment Program Supervisor <br /> SNC =Significant Noncompliance (Eugene City Code 6.462) <br /> WPCF =Eugene/Springfield Water Pollution Control Facility <br /> DEQ =Oregon Department of Environmental Quality <br /> 2. Where used in this guide, atwelve-month period means a moving twelve-month window, including the month for the current violation and the <br /> preceding eleven months. The enforcement response for violations of efijuent limitations varies according to the past compliance history of the <br /> industrial user. The number of months containing violations in the twelve-month window is determined, and the enforcement response and penalty <br /> assessed accordingly. <br /> 3. For violations of effluent limitations of greater than twice the limitation, the penalties indicated above will be subject to a multiplier determined as <br /> follows, up to a maximum administrative penalty of $500 for each violation (i.e. each pollutant, each day): <br /> a. Analytical result greater than twice and less than or equal to three times the permit limit, multiplier = 2. <br /> b. Analytical result greater than three times and less than or equal to four times the permit limit, multiplier = 3. <br /> c. Analytical result greater than four times and less than or equal to five times the permit limit, multiplier = 4. <br /> d. Analytical result greater than five times the permit limit, multiplier = 5. <br /> 4. For violations of e8iuent limitations where the analytical result is less than or equal to 1.2 times the permitted effluent limitation, or is less than 0.2 <br /> pH units above or below a permitted efliuent pH range, the City will not assess an administrative penalty for that violation. The violation will, <br /> however, be recorded and treated as a permit violation for all other purposes, including the calculation of Significant Noncompliance. <br /> 5. For any series of violations of efliuent limitations which meet the definition of Significant Noncompliance, the enforcement response will be the <br /> issuance of an Administrative Compliance Order. The penalty assessed will be as listed above, according to the number of months with violations, <br /> or as specified in the Order. <br /> <br /> Administrative Rule R-6.463 Page 11 Appendix A <br /> <br />
