of the
City Manager of the City of Eugene
AMENDING AND REPLACING INDUSTRIAL PRETREATMENT
PROGRAM ADMINISTRATIVE RULE R-6.501 ADOPTED BY
ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-23-02-F; AND RENAMING IT
TO INDUSTRIAL PRETREATMENT PROGRAM
ADMINISTRATIVE RULE R-6.550.
The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds that:
A. Section 2.019 of the Eugene Code, 1971, authorizes the City Manager to adopt rules
for implementation of any provisions of the Code. Section 6.550 of the Eugene Code, 1971,
authorizes the City Manager to adopt rules to administer, implement, and enforce the provisions
of EC 6.550 to 6.586 to ensure that the City's industrial pretreatment program complies with the
objectives of EC 6.550 to 6.586, the applicable state and federal laws and regulations and the City's
policy to cooperate with state and federal government. Pursuant to that authority, on June 15, 2023,
Administrative Order No. 58-23-02-F was issued making the most recent amendments to Industrial
Pretreatment Program Administrative Rule R-6.501 ("the Rule.")
B. On November 6, 2024, I issued Administrative Order No. 58-24-37 ordering that
notice be given of the opportunity to submit written comments on a proposal to amend the Rule so
that it conforms with changes to the Code that were implemented by Ordinance No. 20688, which
took effect on June 24, 2024, by deleting sections of the Rule that are now addressed in the Code.
The industrial pretreatment sections of the Code were renumbered by Ordinance No. 20688, so it
is also necessary to rename the Rule to reflect the new Code number.
C. Notice of the proposed amendments to the Rule was given by making copies of the
Notice available to any person who had requested such notice and by publication of the Notice in
the Register Guard newspaper on November 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15, 2024, providing interested
persons an opportunity to submit comments on the proposed amendments until the end of the day
on November 26, 2024. No comments concerning the proposed Rules were submitted within the time
or in the manner set out in the Notice.
On the basis of these findings, I order that:
1. Industrial Pretreatment Program Administrative Rule R-6.501 is renamed to
Industrial Pretreatment Program Administrative Rule R-6.550 and is amended as set forth below.
2. The unamended provisions of Industrial Pretreatment Program Administrative Rule
R-6.501 adopted by Administrative Order No. 58-23-02-F are reaffirmed and incorporated into
Industrial Pretreatment Program Administrative Rule R-6.550 adopted by this Order.
