(O-2 0 2 6-1 1 6) RECITALS The Council of the City of San Diego (Council) adopts this O r dinance based on the following: A. The Industr ial Wastewater Contr ol Pr ogr am (IW CP) was established to ensur e the City of San Diego's (City'

s) compliance with the Feder al Clean Water A ct (33 U.S.C. §§ 1 2 51 - 1 387) and the N ational Pr etr eatment Pr ogr am (40 CFR Par t 40 3) which r equir e municipalities to r egulate dischar ge of industr ial wastewater into public sewer systems. The r egulations ar e designed to pr event pollutants fr om inter fer ing with tr eatment pr ocesses, har ming tr eatment plant per sonnel, or passing untr eated wastewater into the envir onment. B. The City adopted its Sewer Use Or dinance and r elated San Diego M unicipal Code (M unicipal Code) sections to locally implement feder al r equir ements.

The IWCP over sees appr oximately 1 , 0 0 0 industr ial user s in the City and par ticipating agencies, and conducts inspections, issues dischar ge per mits, and enfor ces compliance thr ough the M unicipal Code. C. The last compr ehensive update to M unicipal Code IWCP-r elated sections occur r ed in N ovember 2 0 0 0 . Dur ing a 2 0 2 2 r egulator y inspection, the San Diego Regional Water Quality Contr ol Boar d (RWQCB) deter mined cer tain sections of the Sewer Use Or dinance wer e outdated and missing key pr ovisions r equir ed under feder al pr etr eatment r egulations. The RWQCB fur ther found City

definitions, r efer ences, and enfor cement pr ovisions do not consistently r eflect cur r ent feder al standar ds. D. City staff conducted a thor ough r eview of all r elated M unicipal Code sections to identify inconsistencies. The pr oposed amendments include: amending the title of the A r ticle fr om Sewer s to Wastewater ; updating

definitions to match feder al r egulations; clar ifying industr ial user r equir ements and per mit conditions; updating cr oss-r efer ences to ensur e interal consistency; pr ohibiting liquefier s; pr ohibiting dischar ges fr om human hydr olysis; and -PAGE 2 OF 47-

(O-2 0 2 6-1 1 6) eliminating a pr ohibition of W ater Softener Br ine dischar ges in the easter n por tion of Los Penasquitos ar ea. E. These M unicipal Code amendments ensur e the City's wastewater pr etr eatment pr ogr am r emains compliant with both state and feder al r equir ements and maintains consistency with RWQCB and U nited States Envir onmental Pr otection A gency expectations.

L The Office of the City A ttor ney pr epar ed this O r dinance based on the infor mation pr ovided by City staff, including infor mation pr ovided by affected thir d par ties and ver ified by City staff, with the under standing that this infor mation is complete and accur ate. ACTION ITEMS Be it or dained by the Council of the City of San D iego:

definitions set for th her ein and the pr ovisions of this A r ticle shall apply to the Dischar ges and w astestr eam s of all waste into the wastewater system.

This A r ticle, among other things, pr ovides for the r egulation of sewer constr uction in ar eas within the City's boundar ies, the quantity and quality of wastestr eams, the degr ee of waste pr etr eatment r equir ed, the setting of waste dischar ge fees to pr ovide for equitable distr ibution of costs, the appr oval ofplans for sewer constr uction, the issuance of industr ial user per mits and of other miscellaneous per mits, and the establishment ofpenalties for violation of this Ar ticle.

Wastewater Disposal Policy The City constr ucts, oper ates, and maintains a wastewater system ser ving homes, industr ies, and commer cial establishments within the City's boundar ies and to other wastewater that is tr ibutar y to the wastewater system.

Gener ally, w a s tew a ter will be tr anspor ted and tr eated by the wastewater system pr ovided the w a s tew a te r will not (1 ) damage str uctur es, (2 ) cr eate nuisances such as odor s, (3) menace public health, (4) impose unr easonable collection, tr eatment or disposal costs on the City, (5) inter fer e with w a stew a ter tr eatment pr ocesses, (6) violate quality r equir ements set by r egulator y gover nment agencies, or (7) detr imentally affect the local envir onment.

The City is committed to a policy of wastewa ter r eclamation and r euse to pr ovide an alter nate sour ce of water supply and to r educe over all costs of wastewater tr eatment and disposal. The r eclamation of wastewater thr ough secondar y and -PAGE 4 OF 47- 0

(O-2 0 2 6-1 1 6) rar y wastewater tr eatment pr ocesses may necessitate mor e str ingent quality r equir ements on Industr ial U ser s than those r equir ed by other r egulator y agencies. To comply with stated policies of the feder al gover nment and to per mit the City to meet incr easingly higher standar ds, pr ovisions ar e made in this A r ticle for the r egulation of wastewater . This A r ticle establishes quantity and quality limitations on wastewater .

M ethods of cost r ecover y fr om Industr ial U ser s ar e also established wher e the wastewater imposes inequitable collection, tr eatment, or disposal costs on the City. Recover y and r euse pr ocedur es established by Industr ia l User s themselves to meet the limitations set on their dischar ges will be pr efer r ed by the City over those pr ocedur es designed solely to meet w a s tew a ter limitations. Methods pr oviding for beneficial r euse of other wise wasted r esour ces shall be the appr oved method of industr ial wastewater tr eatment wher ever feasible.

Optimum use of the wastewater system may r equir e that cer tain wastewater be dischar ged dur ing per iods of low flow in the wastewater system.
