Enforcement Authority City of Petaluma, Sewer Use Ordinance, Chapter 15.68 provides for enforcement and penalties against users who fail to comply with the requirements of the Sewer Use Ordinance. Any user who violates this code is guilty ofa misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000 or a term or imprisonment amounting to no more than six .months, or both (Chapter 15.68.020.6). Each violation is considered a separate and new offense. The CITY may also bring civil actions as may be available to enforce the provisions of its ordinance and to recover such cost, fees, penalties, and/or damages. Civil enforcement may be executed in the form or injunction (temporary restraining order, prelimnlary injunction, permanent uijunction) and/or holding the user liable for penalties not to exceed $25,000 for each day in which the violations occurs as long as the violation continues. The CITY may petition the Superior Court to impose, asses, and collect such sums pursuant to the Sewer Use Ordnance Chapter 15.68.020 and Califorua Govermnent Code § 54740, et seq. CITY persomiel have: authority to enter and inspect, where wastewater is generated or discharged at all reasonable times, all parts of the premises far the purposes of inspection, sampling, analysis, records examination, or to perform any of their routine duties (Chapter 15.60.050). Inspections of significant industrial uses will occur at least once a year as may be necessary to enforce the provisions of the ordinance. 1V. Range and Categories of Enforcement Mechaiusms The full range of enforcement mechaiusms available to the CITY are: Informal adniuiistrative action, admiiustrative orders and compliance schedules, imposition fees for noncompliance, assessment of charges for interference with or damage to CITY facilities or operations, suspension or termination of services, civil action, and criminal action (Chapter 15.68) Enforcement actions are divided into t<vo general categories: miiusterial, executed by 111dustrial Waste personnel, and formal enforcement actions requiring approval of the Director of the Department of Water Resources and Conservation, or his/her designated representative. 1. Miiusterial Actions a. Verbal VJanung Resolution No. 2007-140 N.C.S. Page 5 b. Notice of Violation (see example form, Exhibit 1) c. Noncompliance Fee d. Warning Notice (see example form, Exhibit 2) e. Meetings 2. Forn~al Enforcement Actions a. Formal Notices b. Show Cause Hearing c. Assessment of Charges d. Suspension or Terliination of Services e. Criminal Action f. Civil Action V. The Enforcement Program and How it Works The program is designed to follow a graduating enforcement procedure. For example, after a violation has been determined, the Industrial Waste Persoru7el (IWP) must determine whether the violation falls into the category of formal or ministerial enforcement action. If it is determined that the violation is a ministerial action, IWP will issue a NOV within. l4 days of becomnig aware of the violation (example form attached, see example 1). If it is determined that the violation necessitates a fomlal action, IWP with the direction of the Director (or his/her designated representative) will undertake an investigation which may result in the subnuttal of a case report (see example form, Exhibit 3) to the District Attorney requesting prosecution or a suit by the CITY in the fornl of a civil action. Either a pattern of noncompliance or an aggravated violation may constitute a fornial enforcement action (see Enforcement Action Model (EAM), Exhibit 6). The NOV will be the uitial prunary enforcement tool of the CITY. This document informs the violator of the specific ordinances, permit conditions, and/or contract permit conditions which were violated and actions required to be taken. The violator must respond in writuig to the NOV requests within the time specified by the NOV. The NOV may be issued in the presence of the violator or sent by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested. The violator's timely and detailed response to the NOV will be considered in deterniinin6 enforcement options, if any. The Industrial User will be required to sign the NOV. In the event of the user's refusal to sign the.NOV, the user will be infornled of the alternative enforcement options, including termination of services, civil action, and/or referral to the District Attonley. The user will normally be given 30 days (from date of issuance) to bring about any required corrective actions. Additional time to con-ect the violation may be given to any violator who justifies the need for an extension. Resolution No. 2007-140 N.C.S. Page 6 Once the con•ective actions have been completed by the violator, the person who has issued the NOV will (if necessary) return to inspect the user's operation and verify that said corrective actions have been. taken. Typically, all enforcement actions for the violations set for November will terminate when corrective actions have been completed to the satisfaction of the City. If a subsequent violation occurs, the process starts again. The Enforcement Action Model in concert with the Enforcement Response Guide (Exhibit 7) will guide CITY persomiel through the entire enforcement process. All pertinent communication with user will be entered into the "User ErzforcementlConunuzications Log" (see example form, Exhibit 5). Adherence to time requirements by the violator will be closely monitored. Violators who fail to meet the time requirements imposed, including such extensions as may be granted by the CITY, may be subject to accelerated enforcement actions. VI. Enforcement Responsibilities of Industrial Waste Personnel Industrial Waste persozuiel may initiate ministerial enforcement actions pursuant to CITY Sewer Use Ordinance Chapter 1.5.68. Violations may rori7e to the attention of IWP izl a variety of ways, i.e. routine insl;ections by tl~e IWP, discovery by maintenance and sewer personnel, etc. Ctenerally, the IWP will initiate all ministerial actions. The IWP will inform the Engineering Manager whenever he/she takes a muisterial action. VII. Tlie CITY's Enforcement Tracking System In order to ensure that the violator fulfills its legal obligation, the CITY will closely monitor the progress of each violator by use of a tickler notification system. Tlus program will be computer maintained as well as with hard copy (see attached form, Exlbit 4). VIII. Publishing Lists of Industrial Users with Si glzificant Violations Section 403.8(f)(2)(vii) of the General Pretreatment Regulations requires that the CITY publish, at -least annually, in the largest daily newspaper located in the municipality sezviced by the CITY, a list of industrial users that significantly violated applicable pretreatment standards and requirements during the previous 12 months. The CITY will publish a list of all significant pretreatment violators at least once a year in the Press Democrat .
