PORTIONS OF REDDING MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 14.16,
SEWERS.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDDING DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Findings of Fact:
The Wastewater Utility service charges set forth in this ordinance are necessary to cover the increased
costs of the operation and maintenance of the wastewater system.
Section 2. Redding Municipal Code Chapter 14.16, Sewers, is amended as follows:
A. The definitions of "Batch process," Categorical industrial user," and "User" in Section 14.16.020
are amended to read as follows [all other definitions remain the same]:
14.16.020. Definitions.
"Batch process" means a process in which a tank or vessel is filled, and the wastewater (or solution)
is then released to the sewer collection system with or without further treatment. A batch process is
intermittent, and not continuous.
"Categorical industrial user" is an industrial user who utilizes a process for which the EPA has
developed specific limitations on the user's discharges to a POTW. The pollutant effluent limits, called
national categorical pretreatment standards, are contained in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
Chapter I, Subchapter N, parts 405-471, and Sections 307(b) and (c) of the Clean Water Act. A
categorical industrial user is considered a SIU.
"User" means any person or persons, all entities, public or private, residential, industrial,
commercial, governmental, or institutional, who discharge or cause to be discharged wastewater and
waterborne wastes into the POTW of the city, or who directly or indirectly cause impact or potential
impact to the POTW of the city.
B. Section 14.16.120 is amended to read as follows:
14.16.120. Applicability to Public Agencies. (�
The provisions of this chapter shall be applicable to any building, structure, or property situated
within the city sewer service area which is owned, leased, controlled, operated, or occupied by the United �J
States, the state, the county, a school district, or by any public or quasi-public agency, corporation, or
association.
U.?
C. Section 14.16.195 B. is amended to read as follows:
14.16.195. Bypass.
B. An industrial user may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause the requirements of this
chapter to be violated, but only if the user also is responsible for essential maintenance to assure
efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of subsections C and D of this
section.
D. The first paragraph of Section 14.16.205 is amended to read as follows [all other portions of said
section remain in effect]:
14.16.205. Fees and Charges.
A fee for each connection charge and other fees related to the POTW shall be paid to the city, based
on the charges and fees in effect on the date of the user's application for the appropriate building permit,
as follows:
[Note to Publisher:Section 14.16.205A.3. ends after the following sentence: "Fees shall not decrease below the level
of rates existing on January 1, 1999." Thereafter, the left margin for the remainder of the paragraph, commencing
with `per household equivalent,"is to be lined up with Section A.]
E. The first paragraph of Section 14.16.230 is amended to read as follows [all other portions of said
section remain in effect]:
14.16.230. Sewer Connection Charges.
Sewer connection charges, as set forth in this chapter, shall be paid to the city prior to the issuance
of a sewer connection permit. Where a new, changed, or expanded use of the property causes or has the
potential to cause increased impact to the POTW, the applicant shall pay those applicable charges for the
increased impact. No sewer connection shall be made until all appropriate charges have been paid. Sewer
connection charges include a connection charge, front footage charge, line tap charge, and may include
a special benefit charge defined in this chapter.
F. Section 14.16.246 is added, to read as follows:
14.16.246. Obligation to Pay Sewer Service and Related Fees for Service Outside City.
The primary responsibility for payment of all sewer service and related fees and charges authorized
by this chapter for services outside of the city shall be with the property owner. The city will bill the
discharger when a service account for such discharger has been established, but it shall be the
responsibility of the property owner to provide current information to the City Treasurer or the Treasurer's
representative of names and addresses of current dischargers. The minimum sewer service fee shall be
due and payable in the amount established pursuant to Section 14.16. 240 and other applicable provisions
of this chapter regardless of whether or not the premise which is connected to the sewer collection system
is vacant.
G. Section 14.16.300 is amended to read as follows:
2
14.16.300. Connection Required.
The owner of any premises within the limits of the city, which has a public sewer located within two
hundred feet of the nearest exterior boundary of the premises measured along publicly-owned right-of-way
or sewer easement, shall not install, replace, upgrade, expand, or repair any septic tank or waste disposal
leach field thereon nor use any means of disposing of domestic wastewater or industrial waste other than
through a sewer connection to a public sewer. The owner shall be required to connect the premises with
available public sewer pursuant to and within the time limits specified in this chapter, and to pay in
advance all sewer connection charges.
H. Section 14.16.400 B.7.a. is amended to read as follows [all other portions of Section 14.16.400 remain
in effect]:
14.16.400. Special Requirements for Industrial Users.
7. Reporting Requirements for Noncategorical Industrial Users:
a. Noncategorical significant industrial users shall submit to the city at least once every six
months, or on dates specified by the city, a description of the nature, concentration, and flow
of the pollutants required. These reports shall be based on sampling and analysis performed in
the period covered by the report, and performed in accordance with the techniques described
in 40 CFR part 136 and amendments thereto. Where 40 CFR part 136 does not contain
sampling or analytical techniques for the pollutant in question, or where it is determined that
part 136 sampling and analytical techniques are inappropriate for the pollutant in question,
sampling and analysis shall be performed by using validated analytical methods or any other
applicable sampling and analytical procedures, including procedures suggested by the city or
other persons, approved by EPA. This sampling and analysis may be performed by the city in
lieu of the non-categorical significant industrial user. Where the city itself collects all the
information required for the report, the non-categorical significant industrial user will not be
required to submit the report.
I. Section 14.16.536 A. is amended to read as follows [Subsection B. remains in effect]:
14.16.536. Interceptor maintenance.
A. Any person who owns, operates, or maintains a gravity separation interceptor shall maintain it
properly. It shall be cleaned as often as is necessary to ensure that sediment and floating materials
do not accumulate to impair the efficiency of the interceptor. The use of emulsifiers, bacterial
additives, or other chemical agents to dissolve grease is specifically prohibited. When an interceptor
is cleaned, the sidewalls shall be scraped and hosed down, while all the solids and liquids contained
are removed. All wastes removed from any interceptor shall be legally disposed of other than to the
sewer. The City of Redding specifically prohibits the following interceptor practices: (1) pumping
to remove only accumulated sediments or floating materials; (2) pumping operations which
specifically separate floating or sediment interceptor solid wastes from interceptor wastewater and
then return or decant the separated wastewater back into the interceptor; and (3) transporting any
hauled pollutants from another location for discharge into an interceptor. An interceptor is not
considered to be properly maintained if for any reason it is not in good working condition with all
internal required plumbing of proper design and length in place, or if the operational fluid capacity
has been reduced by more than twenty-five percent by the accumulation of floating and settled solids,

oils, and greases. The owner of any premises required to install an interceptor; the lessee and
sublessee, if there be such; and any proprietor, operator, or superintendent of such facility are
individually and severally liable for any failure of proper maintenance of such interceptor.
J. There is added to Section 14.16.562 the following Subsection C, to read as follows:
14.16.562. Sample Collection.
C. The city may choose to collect the wastewater samples required of the industrial user in Section
14.16.562, Subsections A. and B.
K. Section 14.16.582, Subsections D. and R., are amended to read as follows [all other portions of
Section 14.16.582 remain in effect]:
14.16.582. Prohibited Discharges.
D. Any wastewater with a pH equal to or less than 6.8 and any wastewater with a pH equal to or greater
than 12.0, or as authorized by the public works director in the user's wastewater discharge permit;
R. Any discharge of fats, oils, or greases of animal or vegetable origin in excess of 300 mg/l, and any
discharge of oils and greases of mineral or petroleum origin in excess of 100 mg/1.
Section 3. The passage of this ordinance is not a "project" according to the definition in the
California Environmental Quality Act, and therefore is not subject to the
provisions requiring environmental review.
Section 4. This ordinance shall take effect 30 days after the date of its adoption, and the
City Clerk shall certify to the adoption thereof and cause its publication according
to law.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing ordinance was introduced and read by the City Council at
a regular meeting on the 20thday ofOctober , 1998; and was duly read and adopted at a regular meeting on
the 17th day of November , 1998, by the following vote:
