<br /> e Responding to a question from Mr. MacDonald, Mr. Ollerenshaw said that the <br /> ordinance defines "significant industrial user" on page 10 of the ordinance. <br /> An industrial user must meet only one of the criteria to be considered under <br /> that definition. <br /> Mr. MacDonald voiced concern with the dumping of antifreeze (ethylene glycol) <br /> into the sewer system. He noted that a staff memo indicated that the dis- <br /> charges of this substance are not considered serious enough to take further <br /> action. <br /> In response, Mr. Ollerenshaw said that a small radiator shop discharging some <br /> antifreeze would not likely fit the definition of significant industrial <br /> user. He said that there are two major types of pollutants in used anti- <br /> freeze--ethylene glycol and heavy metals. Ethylene glycol is an organic <br /> compound that is easily biodegraded at the treatment plan and would not pass <br /> into the river. At the request of the EPA, the City has tested waste streams <br /> discharged into the system, and has determined that concentrations of those <br /> metals in the waste stream are below the proposed local limits. <br /> Mr. Ollerenshaw explained that local limits are established based on a number <br /> of potential pathways for the pollutant. The City uses the most restrictive <br /> calculation and adds a 25-percent margin of error. Mr. Ollerenshaw described <br /> the calculation process for a pollutant and said that the calculation in- <br /> cludes an additional margin of error to account for potential undocumented <br /> discharges. <br /> e Responding to a question from Mr. MacDonald, Mr. Ollerenshaw said that if <br /> this were a storm sewer issue, the dumping of antifreeze into the system <br /> would be more critical. The City Code prohibits the discharge of antifreeze <br /> into the storm sewer system. <br /> CB 4322--An ordinance amending Sections 6.400, 6.405, 6.410, <br /> 6.415, 6.420, 6.425, 6.430, 6.435, 6.440, 6.445, <br /> 6.450, 6.455, 6.460, 6.465, 6.470, and 6.690 of the <br /> Eugene Code, 1971; addition of Sections 6.427, 6.432, <br /> 6.434, 6.462, 6.463, and 6.464 to that Code; and <br /> declaring an emergency. <br /> Mr. Boles moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, that the bill, with <br /> unanimous consent of the council, be read the second time by <br /> council bill number only, and that enactment be considered at <br /> this time. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously, <br /> 6:0. <br /> Council Bill 4322 was read the second time by number only. <br /> Mr. Boles moved, seconded by Ms. Ehrman, that the bill be <br /> approved and given final passage. <br /> Mr. Boles asked about the City's procedure for listing significant violators. <br /> In response, Mr. Ollerenshaw said that significant violators are listed on an <br /> e MINUTES--Eugene City Council July 8, 1991 Page 8 <br />
