<br /> --- <br /> e Noting that property owners have been given a sufficient opportunity to par- <br /> ticipate already, Mr. Boles said that they should not be asked further. <br /> Ms. Ehrman said that one of the goals of the revised parking program was to <br /> make it difficult for downtown employees to abuse the parking system by park- <br /> ing in the three-hour lots. She asked for an estimate of the number of em- <br /> ployees working downtown and the number of those who pay for monthly parking. <br /> Responding to a question from Ms. Bascom, Mr. Bowers said that downtown em- <br /> ployees are prohibited from parking in the three-hour free parking spaces; <br /> parking control officers monitor those spaces. However, staff estimates that <br /> there is a core of individuals who abuse the system. Mr. MacDonald asked for <br /> a report on how aggressive and effective the enforcement of abusers has been. <br /> (At 9:40, the council took a two-minute break.) <br /> IV. ORDINANCE CONCERNING INDUSTRIAL WASTE PRETREATMENT <br /> City Manager Mike Gleason introduced the topic. James Ollerenshaw, Public <br /> Works Wastewater Division, gave the staff presentation. He said that indus- <br /> trial pretreatment programs have their origin in the Clean Water Act of 1972. <br /> The four major objectives of the industrial pretreatment program are to pre- <br /> vent discharges to the sanitary sewer which will interfere with the biologi- <br /> cal treatment process, contaminate the resulting sewage sludge rendering it <br /> unsuitable for reuse, pass through the treatment plant into the Willamette <br /> e River and exceed water quality standards, and jeopardize the health and safe- <br /> ty of employees who work in and around the sewerage system. <br /> Mr. Ollerenshaw said that amendments and additions to the Eugene Code are <br /> necessary to bring the industrial pretreatment program regulations into <br /> agreement with the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC) Model <br /> Pretreatment Ordinance, and into compliance with Federal regulations. The <br /> ordinance is identical to the MWMC Model Ordinance, which was recently ap- <br /> proved by MWMC following public hearings. An intergovernmental agreement <br /> requires the City to adopt, as a minimum, the standards in the MWMC Model <br /> Pretreatment Ordinance. <br /> Mr. Ollerenshaw said that the major ordinance changes include the following: <br /> I} a new section regarding permits and requirements for mobile waste haulers; <br /> 2} authorization of administrative penalties for permit non-compliance; <br /> 3} additions to the prohibited discharges list; 4) requirements for prior <br /> approval and reporting of hazardous waste discharges to the sewer system; 5) <br /> a revised list of local pollutant discharge limits; 6) changes to the crite- <br /> ria which resulted in an industry being publicly noticed in the newspaper for <br /> permit non-compliance; and 7) an increase in the minimum civil or criminal <br /> penalty from $500 to $1,000 per day. An emergency charge is present because <br /> of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements for compliance and the <br /> need to reissue expired discharge permits to industrial users. <br /> e MINUTES--Eugene City Council July 8, 1991 Page 7 <br />
