ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER N0.58-02-11-F <br />of the <br />City Manager pro tem of the City of Eugene <br />C~~G'~( <br />AMENDMENT OF INDUSTRIAL PRETREATMENT PROGRAM FEES AND <br />REPEAL OF ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER N0.58-97-17-F. <br />The City Manager pro tem of the City of Eugene finds as follows: <br />A. Sections 2.020 and 6.546 of the Eugene, Code, 1971 authorize the City Manager to <br />determine and set fees and charges to be imposed by the City for services, goods, use of municipal <br />property, and licenses and permits, and specifically charges and fees to be paid by the industrial users <br />of the City wastewater system who are subject to the provisions of Sections 6.501 to 6.596 of the <br />Eugene Code, 1971. <br />B. In accordance with the procedures set forth therein, I issued Administrative Order No. <br />58-02-11 on March 27, 2002, and notified the Mayor and City Councilors that I intended to amend <br />the Industrial Pretreatment Program fee schedule by increasing the annual discharge permit fee due <br />to a 20% increase in the Department of Environmental Quality's fee, and discontinuing the charge <br />for grease trap waste surcharge, which were established by Administrative Order No. 58-97-17-F on <br />October 20, 1997. <br />C. Notice was also published in the Register-Guard, a newspaper of general circulation <br />within the City on March 31, 2002, posted at two locations at City Hall on March 31, 2002, and <br />made available for inspection by interested persons at the offices of the City Manager, 777 Pearl <br />Street, Eugene, Oregon, 97401, during regular business hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday <br />through Friday, exclusive of holidays). The Notice provided that written comments would be <br />received for a period of 15 days from the date of publication and posting. No comments were <br />received within the time or in the manner provided in the Notice. <br />D. I find that the fees for the Industrial Pretreatment Program as set forth in Exhibit A <br />attached hereto should be adopted as proposed and are consistent with applicable policies and <br />directives of the City Council, including those developed during the Eugene Decisions process, and <br />the provisions of Section 6.546 of the Eugene Code, 1971, that require fees be established that <br />reduce the City's costs associated with setting up and operating the pretreatment program; <br />establishing sampling, monitoring, inspection, and surveillance procedures; reviewing accidental <br />discharge procedures and controls; and processing permit applications. The unamended fees should <br />be ratified and the fees established by Administrative Order No. 58-97-17-F should be repealed as <br />of the effective date of this order. <br />On the basis of these findings, I order that: <br />Administrative Order - 1 <br />
