The Director may decline to issue or reissue a wastewater discharge permit to any user that failed to comply with the provisions of this chapter, a previous wastewater discharge permit, or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, unless such user first files a satisfactory bond, payable to the City, in a sum not to exceed a value determined by the Director to be necessary to achieve consistent compliance.
The Director may decline to issue or reissue a wastewater discharge permit to any user that failed to comply with any provision of this chapter, a previous wastewater discharge permit, or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, unless the user first submits proof that it has obtained liability insurance or other financial assurances sufficient to restore or repair damage to the POTW caused by its discharge.
The Director may be authorized by the City to pay up to $500 for information leading to the discovery of noncompliance by a user. In the event that the information provided results in a civil penalty levied against the user, the Director may be authorized by the City to disperse up to 5% of the collected penalty to the informant. However, a single reward payment may not exceed $1,000.
Users that have not complied with applicable pretreatment standards and requirements are not eligible to receive a contractual award for the sale of goods or services to the City. Existing contracts for the sale of goods or services to the City held by a user found to be in significant noncompliance with pretreatment standards or requirements may be terminated at the discretion of the City, at the request of the Director.
