The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to determine whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each page. In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column reflects the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters "O C" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement Service and appear as published for the original Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number printed on the bottom of the page.

B, 6-18-02) Sec. 1-16.2-2. Declaration of surplus property. (a) When the board of county commissioners finds that any real property owned by the county is unusable or not needed for county purposes, the board may declare the real property to be surplus property. Once the property is declared surplus, the property may be sold, dedicated, donated or otherwise conveyed to interested parties pursuant to the terms of this article. The declaration of surplus property shall be recorded in the minutes of the board. (b) Once the real property is declared surplus by the board of county commissioners, the county administrator or designee shall have the authority to sell the property to the highest and best bidder. A deed transferring the property to the highest and best bidder shall be presented to the chairman of the board of county commissioners for signature without any further approval of the board being required. The county administrator or designee shall have the authority to reject all bids if the bids are determined to be too low or not in the best interest of the county. In the event the county administrator or designee desires to transfer the property to a person other than the highest and best bidder, the matter shall be presented to the board for approval. (Ord.

(b) Upon receipt of the letter of interest, the county administrator or designee shall verify whether the property has in fact been declared surplus. If the property has not been declared surplus, the county administrator or designee shall make a determination as to whether the property is needed for county purposes. If the property is no longer needed, then the county administrator or designee shall request the board of county commissioners to declare the property surplus. Once the property is declared surplus, then the county administrator or designee shall seek to dispose of the property in accordance with the standards of competition set forth in this article. (c) The county may, on its own initiative, dispose of surplus property by following the standards of competition. (Ord. No. 02-18, Pt. B, 6-18-02) Sec. 1-16.2-4. Standards of competition and notice of disposal (a) For real property valued more than $25,000.00, as appraised by the property appraiser's office, the county may sell the property to the highest and best bidder. Notice calling for bids shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation once each week for two (2) consecutive weeks. The county shall have the option to convey the property to the highest bidder or reject all bids.

(b) For real property valued at $50,000.00 or more, as appraised by the property appraiser, the county shall have the property re-appraised by a fee appraiser designated by a fee appraiser designated by the county.

The county may then convey the property to the highest bidder or reject all bids. This procedure applies regardless of whether the surplus property is being disposed of on the county's own initiative or upon receiving a letter of interest. (d) The county, regardless of the appraised value of the property, may convey such property to another governmental entity or charitable institution at a private sale for such price as the board of county commissioners may fix. The conveyance shall be done in accordance with section 125.38, Florida Statutes. (Ord. No. 02-18, Pt. B, 6-18-02) Supp. No. 87 856 PUBLIC PROPERTY § 1-16.2-8 Sec. 1-16.2-5. Negotiation procedures.

The control authority's order to cease discharge of wastes into the WWF shall not become effective until the period for appeal has expired, or in the event that an appeal has been filed, until the code enforcement department has rendered a decision, unless the control authority has made a finding that continued discharge by the user into the WWF constitutes a clear and present danger to the operations of the WWF or to the health of the public, or to Supp. No. 87 1119 § 1-20.5-84 ST. LUCIE COUNTY CODE the environment. Any such finding shall be included in the control authority's notification to cease discharge, and in such event, the revocation of authorization to discharge wastes shall become effective immediately. (j) Permit renewal. All permittees must apply for a permit renewal a minimum of ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the existing permit. The reapplication for a permit shall consist of a written request for reissuance of the permit. The request shall state if all terms and conditions of the existing permit and Code are complied with and must be signed by an authorized representative of the user. (k) Special agreements. The district reserves the right to enter into special agreements with the FPUA and other bulk service providers setting out special terms under which they may discharge to the WWF. In no case will a special agreement waive compliance with a categorical pretreatment standard or requirement. (1) Regulation of discharge from other jurisdictions. In the event another jurisdiction or municipality contributes all or a portion of its wastewater to another bulk service provider to discharge to the WWF, the control authority to whom the other jurisdiction or municipality contributes wastewater shall require the jurisdiction or municipality to enter into an multi jurisdictional agreement with the control authority. Prior to entering into amulti- jurisdictional agreement, the control authority may request the contributing jurisdiction provide the following information: (1) A description of the quality and volume of the wastewaters) at the point where it enters the WWF from the contributing jurisdiction. (2) An inventory of all industrial users within the contributing jurisdiction. (3) Such information as may be required by the other jurisdiction. A multi jurisdictional agreement as required above, shall contain the following conditions: (1) A requirement for the contributing jurisdiction to adopt an ordinance which is at least as stringent as the Code and local limits which are at least as stringent as those set out in subsection (4) for those users that discharge to the WWF.

(c) Reports on compliance with categorical pretreatment standard deadline. Within ninety (90) days following the date for final compliance with applicable categorical pretreatment standards, or in the case of the new source following commencement of the introduction of wastewater into the WWF, any user subject to such pretreatment standards and requirements Supp. No. 87 1122 WATER AND SEWER § 1-20.5-85 shall submit to the control authority a report containing the information described in section 1-20.5-85 of this Code. For users subject to equivalent mass or concentration limits established in accordance with the procedures in Rule 62-625.410(4), F.A.C., this report shall contain a reasonable measure of the user's long-term production rate. For all other users subject to categorical pretreatment Standards expressed in terms of allowable pollutant discharge per unit of production (or other measure of operation), this report shall include the user's actual production during the appropriate sampling period. All compliance reports must be signed and certified in accordance with subsection 1-20.5-84(b) of this Code. (d) Periodic compliance reports. (1) All significant industrial users shall, at a frequency determined by the control authority but in no case less than twice per year (in June and December), submit a report indicating the nature and concentration of pollutants in the discharge which are limited by pretreatment standards and the measured or estimated average and maximum daily flows for the reporting period. All periodic compliance reports must be signed and certified in accordance with subsection 1-20.5-84(b) of this Code. (2) All wastewater samples must be representative of the user's discharge. Wastewater monitoring and flow measurement facilities shall be properly operated, kept clean, and maintained in good working order at all times. The failure of a user to keep its monitoring facility in good working order shall not be grounds for the user to claim that sample results are unrepresentative of its discharge. (3) If a user subject to the reporting requirement in this section monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by the control authority, using the procedures pre- scribed in subsection 1-20.5-85(k) of this Code, the results of this monitoring shall be included in the report. (e) Reports of changed conditions. Each user must notify the control authority of any planned significant changes to the user's operations or system which might alter the nature, quality, or volume of its wastewater at least sixty (60) days before the change. (1) The control authority may require the user to submit such information as may be deemed necessary to evaluate the changed condition, including the submission of a discharge permit application under section 1-20.5-84 of this Code. (2) The control authority may issue a permit under section 1-20.5-84 of this Code or modify an existing permit in response to changed conditions or anticipated changed conditions. (3) For purposes of this requirement, significant changes include, but are not limited to, flow increases of twenty-five (25) percent or greater, and the discharge of any previously unreported pollutants. (f) Reports of potential problems. (1) In the case of any discharge, including, but not limited to, accidental discharges, discharges of anon-routine, episodic nature, anon-customary batch discharge, or a Supp. No. 87 1123 § 1-20.5-85 ST. LUCIE COUNTY CODE slug load, that may cause potential problems for the control authority, the user shall immediately telephone and notify the control authority of the incident. This notifica- tion shall include the location of the discharge, type of waste, concentration and volume, if known, and corrective actions taken by the user. (2) Within five (5) days following such discharge, the user shall, unless waived by the control authority, submit a detailed written report describing the cause(s) of the discharge and the measures to be taken by the user to prevent similar future occurrences. Such notification shall not relieve the user of any expense, loss, damage, or other liability which may be incurred as a result of damage to the WWF, natural resources, or any other damage to person or property; nor shall such notification relieve the user of any fines, penalties, or other liability which may be imposed pursuant to this article. (3) A notice shall be permanently posted on the user's bulletin board or other prominent place advising employees whom to call in the event of a discharge described in subsection (1), above. Employers shall ensure that all employees, who may cause such a discharge to occur, are advised of the emergency notification procedure. (g) Reports from unpermitted users. All users not required to obtain a permit shall provide appropriate reports to the control authority as the control authority may require. (h) Notice of violation/repeat sampling and reporting. If sampling performed by a user indicates a violation, the user must notify the control authority within twenty-four (24) hours of becoming aware of the violation. The user shall also repeat the sampling and analysis and submit the results of the repeat analysis to the control authority within thirty (30) days after becoming aware of the violation. The user is not required to resample if the control authority monitors at the user's facility at least once a month, or if the control authority samples between the user's initial sampling and when the user receives the results of this sampling. (i) Notification of the discharge of hazardous waste. (1) Any user who commences the discharge of hazardous waste shall notify the control authority, the EPA Regional Waste Management Ordinance Director, and state hazardous waste authorities, in writing, of any Discharge into the WWF of a substance which, if otherwise disposed of, would be a hazardous waste under 40 CRF Part 261. Such notification must include the name of the hazardous waste as set forth in 40 CFR Part 261, the EPA hazardous waste number, and the type of discharge (continuous, batch, or other). If the user discharges more than one hundred (100) kilograms of such waste per calendar month to the WWF, the notification also shall contain the following information to the extent such information is known and readily available to the user: an identification of the hazardous constituents contained in the wastes, an estimation of the mass and concentration of such constituents in the waste stream discharged during that calendar month, and an estimation of the mass of constituents in the waste stream expected to be discharged during the following twelve (12) months. All notifications must take place no later than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the discharge commences. Any notification under this subsection needs be submitted only Supp. No. 87 1124 WATER AND SEWER § 1-20.5-85 once for each hazardous waste discharged. However, notifications of changed condi- tions must be submitted under section 1-20.5-85 of this Code. The notification requirement in this SECTION does not apply to pollutants already reported by users subject to categorical pretreatment standards under the self-monitoring requirements of subsection 1-20.5-85(e) of this Code. (2) Dischargers are exempt from the requirements of subsection (1), above, during a calendar month in which they discharge no more than fifteen (15) kilograms of hazardous wastes, unless the wastes are acute hazardous wastes as specified in 40 CFR 261.30(d) and 261.33(e). Discharge of more than fifteen (15) kilograms of nonacute hazardous wastes in a calendar month, or of any quantity of acute hazardous wastes as specified in 40 CFR 261.30(d) and 261.33(e), requires cone-time notification. Subsequent months during which the user discharges more than such quantities of any hazardous waste do not require additional notification. (3) In the case of any new regulations under Section 3001 of RCRA identifying additional characteristics of hazardous waste or listing any additional substance as a hazardous waste, the user must notify the control authority, the EPA Regional Waste Manage- ment Waste Ordinance Director, and state hazardous waste authorities of the discharge of such substance within ninety (90) days of the effective date of such regulations. (4) In the case of any notification made under this section, the user shall certify that it has a program in place to reduce the volume and toxicity of hazardous wastes generated to the degree it has determined to be economically practical. (5) This provision does not create a right to discharge any substance not otherwise permitted to be discharged by this Code, a permit issued thereunder, or any applicable federal or state law. (j) Analytical requirements. All pollutant analyses, including sampling techniques, to be submitted as part of a permit application or report shall be performed in accordance with the techniques prescribed in 62-625.600(1)(e), F.A.C., unless otherwise specified in an applicable categorical pretreatment standard; or the sampling or analytical techniques for the pollutant in question is not given for the pollutant in question, sampling and analyses must be performed in accordance with procedures approved by EPA. (k) Sample collection. (1) Except as indicated in subsection (2), below, the user must collect wastewater samples using flow proportional composite collection techniques. In the event flow proportional sampling is infeasible, the control authority may authorize the use of time proportional sampling or a minimum of four (4) grab samples where the user demonstrates that this will provide a representative sample of the effluent being discharged. In addition, grab samples may be required to show compliance with instantaneous discharge limits. (2) Samples for oil and grease, temperature, pH, cyanide, phenols, sulfides, and volatile organic compounds must be obtained using grab collection techniques. Supp. No. 87 1125 § 1-20.5-85 ST. LUCIE COUNTY CODE (1) Timing. Written reports will be deemed to have been submitted on the date postmarked. For reports which are not mailed, postage prepaid, into a mail facility serviced by the United States Postal Service, the date of receipt of the report shall govern. (m) Records. Any industrial user subject to the reporting requirements in this Code is required to retain for a minimum of five (5) years any records of monitoring activities and results, and shall make records available for inspection or photocopying by the control authority or state or federal officials. Records shall include the date, exact place, method and time of sampling and the name of the person(s) taking the samples; the dates analyses were performed; who performed the analysis; the analytical techniques or methods used and the results of said analyses. The five-year period shall be automatically extended for the duration of any litigation concerning the user, the control authority or where the user has been specifically notified of a longer retention period by the control authority. (Ord. No. 10-012, Pt. A, 4-20-2010) Sec. 1-20.5-86. Protection from damage. No person shall maliciously, willfully, or negligently break, damage, destroy, uncover, deface, or tamper with any structure, appurtenance, or equipment which is a part of the WWF. Costs of any damage to the WWF, costs associated with interference with the WWF, costs associated with any penalties or enforcement actions imposed on the WWF, and costs for additional treatment or alternative disposal methods required to meet effluent or sludge treatment and disposal requirements (collectively "damages") resulting from violations of this Code shall be paid by the user responsible for the violations, damages or costs. The control authority will bill the user for the costs incurred by the control authority for any cleaning, repair or replacement work caused by the interference or the violation discharge. (Ord. No. 10-012, Pt. A, 4-20-2010) Sec. 1-20.5-87. Powers and authority of inspectors. Authorized representatives of the control authority, the DEP, and the EPA bearing proper credentials shall be permitted to enter upon any property without prior notification for the purpose of inspection, observation, measurement, sampling, testing review and/or photocopy- ing of records, or investigation as may be necessary in the enforcement of this Code. Entry shall be made during daylight or operating hours unless abnormal or emergency circum- stances require otherwise. The control authority may seek issuance of a search warrant(s) from any court of competent jurisdiction for the following reasons: (1) Refusal of access to a building, structure or property or any part thereof. (2) If the control authority is able to demonstrate probable cause to believe that there maybe a violation of this Code. (3) If there is a need to inspect and/or sample as part of a routine inspection and sampling program of the control authority. Supp. No. 87 1126 WATER AND SEWER § 1-20.5-88 (4) To protect the public health, safety and welfare of the control authority. (Ord. No. 10-012, Pt. A, 4-20-2010) Sec. 1-20.5-88. Enforcement actions. The following escalating enforcement strategy may be used by the control authority when industrial users are out of compliance with this Code. The various types of enforcement actions shall be used as determined by the control authority depending on the circumstances of the violation. (1) Immediate threat to public health. The control authority may require the immediate halt of a discharge if it is deemed as an immediate threat to public health or the WWF. (2) Self-monitoring. The industrial user will review its self-monitoring data to determine whether a violation of this article and/or of its permit limitations has occurred. If a violation has occurred, the industrial user must provide to the control authority: a. Twenty-four-hour notification that a violation has occurred. b. Magnitude and nature of the violation. c. Details regarding analytical quality assurance. Failure to comply with the twenty-four-hour notification requirement will result in administrative fines to be determined by the control authority. (3) Re-sampling. Upon the determination that a violation has occurred, the industrial user must resample the final discharge for the violated parameter. The re-sampling data must be submitted to the control authority within thirty (30) days of violation discovery. Failure to resample and report within thirty (30) days is a violation of this article and Rule 62-625.600(6)(b), F.A.C. If the IU fails to resample and submit the report within thirty (30) days, the control authority will issue a notice of violation (NOV). Failure to comply with the NOV will result in a single administrative fine to be determined by the control authority per violation. Continued failure to comply within sixty (60) days from original violation thereafter will result in a monthly fine to be determined control authority. (4) WWF monitoring. The control authority will conduct periodic, independent compliance monitoring of industrial users as appropriate. If the violation is not significant, as defined in this Code, the control authority will issue a NOV and aforty-five-day compliance schedule including the requirement to resample in order to determine whether a violation is significant. The results of the re-sampling must be submitted to the control authority within thirty (30) days of receipt of the compliance schedule. Failure to comply will result in a single fine to be determined by the control authority per violation. Continued failure to comply sixty (60) days after issuance of the NOV will result in a monthly fine to be determined by the control authority. Supp. No. 87 1126.1 § 1-20.5-88 ST. LUCIE COUNTY CODE (5) Significant noncompliance. The control authority will review sampling data obtained to determine whether significant noncompliance as defined in this Code has occurred; in which case a single fine to be determined by the control authority will be assessed per violation. (6) Formal notice. If significant noncompliance is determined to have occurred, the control authority will issue a notice of significant violation (NOSY), requiring the industrial user to submit within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of the notice, aninety-day compliance schedule to determine the need to install or construct pretreatment facilities. Failure to respond within fifteen (15) days will result in a single fine to be determined by the control authority per violation. Upon receipt of the draft compliance schedule, the control authority will issue the compliance schedule as a condition of continued operation. A demonstration of compliance (DOC) will be included as the final item in the compliance schedule. If at any time during the ninety-day schedule, the industrial user determines that pretreatment facilities are required, the industrial user will inform the control authority of such and submit a draft construction schedule. (7) DOC. Upon completion of the ninety-day compliance schedule, the control authority will review the DOC data to determine whether compliance has been achieved. Failure to demonstrate compliance during the ninety-day schedule will result in the control authority issuing another NOSY requiring the industrial user to submit within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the NOSY a draft compliance schedule for the construction of new pretreatment facilities or the improvement, modification or expansion of existing facilities. Failure to respond within fifteen (15) days will result in a single fine to be determined by the control authority per violation. Continued failure to comply within sixty (60) days of the NOSY thereafter will result in a monthly fine to be determined by the control authority. Upon receipt of the draft compliance schedule, the control authority will issue the compliance schedule as a condition of continued operation. Approval of the facility design engineer by the control authority is required prior to design of the pretreatment facility. A DOC will be included as the final item in the compliance schedule. Upon completion of the construction compliance schedule, the control authority will review the DOC data to determine whether compliance has been achieved. (8) Final schedule of compliance. If the construction of pretreatment facilities does not achieve compliance, the control authority will assess a fine to be determined by the control authority, and will issue a notice of monthly fine (NMF). Fines of the same amount will continue to be assessed on a monthly basis until compliance is achieved or service is terminated. The NMF will require that the industrial user submit a draft final compliance schedule within fifteen (15) days or receipt of the NMF. Upon receipt of the draft compliance schedule, the control authority will issue the final schedule of compliance as a condition of continued operation. A DOC period will be included as the final item in the compliance schedule. Upon completion of the compliance schedule, the control authority will review the DOC data to determine whether compliance has been achieved. Supp. No. 87 1126.2 WATER AND SEWER § 1-20.5-89 (9) Show cause hearing. If the final compliance schedule does not achieve compliance, the control authority will issue a notice to show cause (NSC) why the discharge permit should not be revoked and service terminated, in accordance with law. The NSC will be served on the industrial user specifying the time and place of the hearing, the proposed facts of the action, the reasons for such actions and a request that the industrial user show cause why the proposed enforcement action should not be taken. The notice of the hearing shall be served personally or by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) at least ten (10) days prior to the hearing on the industrial user or posted at the location where the alleged violation is occurring or has occurred. Whether or not the industrial user appears as notified, immediate enforcement action may be pursued following the hearing. The control authority will hold the show cause hearing to determine whether the permit should be revoked and sewer services terminated. a. If the industrial user shows cause for its failure to comply, service shall not be terminated nor the permit revoked. The monthly fine will increase to an amount to be determined by the control authority per day and a new final compliance schedule will be issued. b. If the industrial user fails to show cause why its permit should not be revoked and service terminated, the industrial user's permit shall be revoked and its sewer service will be terminated by the control authority. (10) Violations not addressed. Penalties for violations of this Code and/or the user's permit not addressed in this section will be assessed at the discretion of the control authority. (Ord. No. 10-012, Pt. A, 4-20-2010) Sec. 1-20.5-89. Permit fees and penalties. (a) Permit application and renewal fee: Initial Permit $1,100.00 per year Renewal Permit $900.00 per year Fine Amount for pH, BOD, TSS Violations $250.00 Minimum Analytical Fees On a permit by permit basis Plus applicable fees by other control agencies on a pass through basis. (b) Other fees and penalties are listed under section 1-20.5-88, Enforcement actions.

Y =Capital and operating costs per pound of TSS greater than 250 mg/L. Z =Capital and operating costs per pound of oil and grease greater than 75 mg/L. (d) Any person who violates a provision of this Code shall be prosecuted in the name of the State of Florida in a court having jurisdiction of misdemeanors by the prosecuting attorney thereof, and upon conviction shall be punished by a fine to be determined by the control authority for each offense or by imprisonment not to exceed sixty (60) days or by both such, fine and imprisonment. If a violation continues, each day of such violation shall constitute a separate offense. (e) Any person who knowingly makes any false statement, representation or certification in any record or other document submitted under this Code shall be subject to fines to be determined by the control authority per violation or by imprisonment for not more than sixty (60) days, or both. (f) The control authority may revise the permit fees and penalties from time to time by resolution. (Ord. No. 10-012, Pt. A, 4-20-2010) Sec. 1-20.5-90. Civil and criminal remedies. In addition to the administrative fines provided in sections 1-20.5-88 and 1-20.5-89, to the extent permitted by state law, the control authority is hereby authorized to institute any appropriate action or proceeding, including suit for damages, injunctive relief and civil penalties to be determined by the control authority per day per violation, in order to prevent or abate violations of this Code or to recover damages as provided in section 1-20.5-86. The control authority may recover reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, and other expenses associated with enforcement activities, including sampling and monitoring expenses, and the cost of any damages incurred by the control authority. (1) Injunctive relief. When the control authority finds that a user has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this Code, a permit, or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, the control authority may petition the circuit court for the issuance of a temporary or permanent injunction, as appropriate, which restrains or compels the specific performance of the permit, order, or other requirement imposed by this Code on activities of the user. The control authority may also seek such other action as is appropriate for legal and/or equitable Supp. No. 87 1126.4 WATER AND SEWER § 1-20.5-91 relief, including a requirement for the user to conduct environmental remediation. A petition for injunctive relief shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against a user. (2) Criminal prosecution. a. Auser who willfully or negligently violates any provision of this Code, a permit, or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not more than the maximum fine allowed under state law per violation, per day, or imprisonment, or both. b. Auser who willfully or negligently introduces any substance into the WWF which causes personal injury or property damage shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a misdemeanor and be subject to a penalty of at least the maximum fine allowable under state law, or be subject to imprisonment, or both. This penalty shall be in addition to any other cause of action for personal injury or property damage available under state law. c. Auser who knowingly makes any false statements, representations, or certifica- tions in any application, record, report, plan, or other documentation filed, or required to be maintained, pursuant to this Code, permit, or order issued hereunder, or who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly renders inaccurate any monitoring device or method required under this Code shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not more than the maximum fine allowable under state law per violation, per day, or imprisonment or both. d. In the event of a second conviction, a user shall be punished by a fine of not more than the maximum fine allowable under state law per violation, per day, or imprisonment, or both. (3) Remedies nonexclusive. The remedies provided for in this Code are not exclusive. The control authority may take any, all, or any combination of these actions against a noncompliant user. Enforcement of pretreatment violations will generally be in accordance with the control authority's enforcement response plan. However, the control authority may take other action against any user when the when the circumstances warrant. Further, the control authority is empowered to take more than one enforcement action against any noncompliant user. (Ord. No. 10-012, Pt. A, 4-20-2010) Sec. 1-20.5-91. Notification requirements. (a) Accidental discharge ofprohibited discharge standards. Auser shall have an affirmative defense to the imposition of penalties (but not to recovery of damages caused to the WWF) in an enforcement action brought against it for noncompliance with the general prohibitions or Supp. No. 87 1126.5 § 1-20.5-91 ST. LUCIE COUNTY CODE the specific prohibitions in subsection 1-20.5-82(1) of this Code if it can prove that it did not know, or have reason to know, that its discharge, alone or in conjunction with discharges from other sources, would cause pass through or interference and that either: (1) A local limit exists for each pollutant discharged and the user was in compliance with each limit directly prior to, and during, the pass through or interference; or (2) No local limit exists, but the discharge did not change substantially in nature or constituents from the user's prior discharge when the WWF was regularly in compliance with its NPDES permit, and in the case of interference, was in compliance with applicable sludge use or disposal requirements. (b) Upset. If there occurs an unintentional and temporary noncompliance with pretreat- ment standards because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the industrial user, and the industrial user wishes to establish an affirmative defense to the imposition of penalties (but not to recovery of damages caused to the WWF) of an upset, the user must demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence, that: (1) An upset occurred and the industrial user can identify the cause of the Upset; and (2) The industrial user's facility was, at the time of the upset, being operated in a prudent and workmanlike manner and in compliance with applicable operation and mainte- nance procedures; and (3) The industrial user properly notified the control authority of the upset in accordance with the procedures set forth in subsection (d) below. In any enforcement proceeding, the industrial user seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has the burden of proof. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. The industrial user shall control production or all discharges to the extent necessary to maintain compliance with pretreatment standards upon reduction, loss, or failure of its treatment facility until the facility is restored or an alternative method of treatment is provided. This requirement applies in the situation where, among other things, the primary source of power of the treatment facility is reduced, lost or fails. (c) Bypass. (1) An industrial user may allow bypass to occur which does not cause pretreatment standards or requirements to be violated and does not cause damage to or interference with the WWF, but only if it is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. (2) If an industrial user knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit a notice to the control authority at least ten (10) days before the date of the bypass. Supp. No. 87 1126.6 WATER AND SEWER § 1-20.5-91 (3) Bypass that exceeds applicable pretreatment standards is prohibited, and the control authority shall take enforcement action against an industrial user for a bypass, unless: a. The bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury, or sever property damage. b. There were no technically feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes, or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate back-up equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventative maintenance. c. The industrial user properly notifies the control authority of the bypass in accordance with the procedures set forth in subsection (d) below. (d) Notification of accidental discharge, upset or bypass. (1) Immediate notification via telephone: In the event of an accidental discharge, slug load, upset or bypass, (including a violation of the prohibited discharge standards in section 1-20.5-82 of this Code) the User shall take the necessary measures to stop, limit, or control the discharge. The discharger shall immediately notify the control authority within twenty-four (24) hours about the incident by telephone. The notifi- cation shall include: a. Address of the discharge b. Type of discharge c. Concentration of pollutants in the discharge d. Volume of discharge e. Corrective measures taken (2) Written notification: Within five (5) days of the accidental discharge, upset or bypass, the discharger shall submit a written report to the control authority. The report shall include, but not be limited to, type of discharge, concentrations, volume, cause of the event, duration of the event, corrective measures taken and measures to be employed to prevent future incidents. In the event further information is requested, the discharger shall provide the information within forty-eight (48) hours of the request. If the event occurs during a holiday period or weekend, the written notification shall be the first working day following the holiday period or weekend. Such notification shall not relieve the User of any expense, loss, damage, or other liability which may be incurred as a result of damage to the WWF, natural resources, or any other damage to person or property; nor shall notification relieve the user of any fines, civil penalties, or other liability which may be imposed by this Code or other applicable law. (3) Notice to employees: A notice shall be permanently posted on the user's bulletin board or other prominent place advising employees whom to call in the event of an accidental discharge, upset or bypass. Employers shall insure that all employees who could cause Supp. No. 87 1126.7 § 1-20.5-91 ST. LUCIE COUNTY CODE or suffer such an accidental discharges, upset or bypasses to occur are advised of the emergency notification procedures. Failure to notify the control authority of potential problem discharges, upset or bypasses shall be deemed a separate violation of this Code. (Ord. No. 10-012, Pt. A, 4-20-2010) Sec. 1-20.5-92. Confidentiality. Information and data concerning individual industrial users obtained from reports, ques- tionnaires, permit applications, permits, monitoring programs, and inspections shall be available to the public to the extent permitted by Florida law, upon written request without restriction unless the industrial user specifically requests and is able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the control authority that such release would divulge information, processes, or methods of production entitled to protection as trade secrets under applicable state law. Wastewater constituents and characteristics will not be recognized as confidential informa- tion. (Ord. No. 10-012, Pt.
