b. Periodic Compliance Reports shall be due no later than September 30th for the January to June reporting period and by the 31st of March for the July to December reporting period.

c. All wastewater samples must be representative of the user's discharge during the reporting period. 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.

124 December 11, 2019

d. If a user subject to the reporting requirement in this section monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by the authority, using test procedures prescribed in 40 CFR Part 136 or amendments thereto, or otherwise approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or as specified in this permit, the results of such monitoring must be included in any calculations of actual daily maximum or monthly average pollutant discharge, and results must be reported and such results are also subject for inclusion in the PCR reporting period.

e. The reports required in this section must be based upon data obtained through appropriate sampling and analysis performed during the period covered by the report, which data are representative of conditions occurring during the reporting period. The City-Parish shall require that frequency of monitoring necessary to assess and assure compliance by industrial users with applicable pretreatment standards and requirements. Grab samples must be used for pH, cyanide, total phenols, oil and grease, sulfide, and volatile organic compounds. For all other pollutants, 24-hour composite samples must be obtained through flow- proportional composite sampling techniques, unless time-proportional composite sampling or grab sampling is authorized by the City-Parish. Where time- proportional composite sampling or grab sampling is authorized by the City- Parish, the samples must be representative of the discharge and the decision to allow the alternative sampling must be documented in the industrial user file for that facility or facilities. Using protocols (including appropriate preservation) specified in 40 CFR part 136 and appropriate EPA guidance, multiple grab samples collected during a 24-hour period may be composited prior to the analysis as follows: For cyanide, total phenols, and sulfides the samples may be composited in the laboratory or in the field; for volatile organics and oil and grease the samples may be composited in the laboratory. Composite samples for other parameters unaffected by the compositing procedures as documented in approved EPA methodologies may be authorized by the City- Parish, as appropriate.

(8) Reporting requirements for industrial users not subject to categorical pretreatment standards. The City-Parish must require appropriate reporting from those industrial users with discharges that are not subject to categorical pretreatment standards. Significant non-categorical industrial users must submit to the City-Parish at least once every six (6) months (on dates specified by the control authority) a description of the nature, concentration, and flow of the pollutants required to be reported by the City-Parish. In cases where a local limit requires compliance with a best management practice or pollution prevention alternative, the user must submit documentation required by the City-Parish to determine the compliance status of the user. These reports must be based on sampling and analysis performed in the period covered by the report, and in accordance with the techniques described in 40 CFR part 136 and amendments thereto. This sampling and analysis may be performed by the City- Parish in lieu of the significant non-categorical industrial user.

(9) Reports of planned significant change. Each user must notify the City-Parish 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 thirty (30) days before the change.

a. The user shall submit such information as may be deemed necessary to evaluate the changed condition, including the submission of a wastewater discharge permit application.

b. The City-Parish may issue a wastewater discharge permit or modify an existing wastewater discharge permit according to this part in response to changed conditions or anticipated changed conditions.

c. For purposes of this requirement, significant changes include, but are not limited to, flow increases or decreases of one thousand (1,000) gpd or greater, and the discharge of any previously unreported pollutants.

125 December 11, 2019

(10) Reports of potential problems.

a. In the case of any discharge, including, but not limited to, accidental discharges, discharges of a non-routine, episodic nature, a non-customary batch discharge, or a slug load, that may cause potential problems for the POTW, the user shall immediately telephone and notify the City- Parish of this incident. This notification shall include the location of the discharge, type of waste, concentration and volume, if known, and corrective actions taken by the user.

b. Within five (5) days following such discharge, the user shall 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 POTW, 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 part.

c. 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 the paragraph above. Employers shall ensure that all employees, who may cause such a discharge to occur, are advised of the emergency notification procedure.

(11) Reports from other users. Other users shall provide appropriate reports to the City- Parish as the pretreatment program requires.

(12) Notice of violation/repeat sampling and reporting. If sampling performed by a user indicates a violation, the user must notify the City-Parish within twenty-four (24) hours of becoming aware of the violation. The user shall, at a minimum, and in addition to any other required corrective action specified by the City-Parish, also repeat the sampling and analysis and submit the results of the repeat analysis to the City-Parish within thirty (30) days after becoming aware of the violation. If the City-Parish monitors at the user's facility at least once per month, or between the user's initial sampling and the time when the user receives the results of this sampling, then the user may not be required to resample.

(13) Provision governing fraud and false statements. Documents required to be submitted and/or maintained shall be subject to:

a. The provisions of 18 USC section 1001, RS.30:2076.2 relating to fraud and false statements;

(14) Notification of the Discharge of Hazardous Waste.

a. Any User who commences the discharge of hazardous waste shall notify the POTW, the EPA Regional Waste Management Division Director, and State hazardous waste authorities, in writing, of any discharge into the POTW of a substance which, if otherwise disposed of, would be a hazardous waste under 40 CFR 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 POTW, 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 wastestream discharged during that calendar month, and an estimation of the mass of constituents in the wastestream 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 paragraph need be submitted only once for each hazardous waste discharged. However, notifications of changed conditions must be submitted under Section 2:276 (7) of this ordinance. 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 Section 2:276 (1)of this ordinance.

b. Dischargers are exempt from the requirements of paragraph A, 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 a one-time notification. Subsequent months during which the User discharges more than such quantities of any hazardous waste do not require additional notification.

c. 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 City-Parish, the EPA Regional Waste Management Waste Division Director, and State hazardous waste authorities of the discharge of such substance within ninety (90) days of the effective date of such regulations.

d. 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.

e. This provision does not create a right to discharge any substance not otherwise permitted to be discharged by this ordinance, a permit issued thereunder, or any applicable Federal or State law.

Sec. 2:277. - Recordkeeping.

Users subject to this part shall retain, and make available for inspection and copying, all records of information obtained pursuant to any monitoring activities required by this part, including documentation associated with best management practices, and any additional records of information obtained pursuant to monitoring activities undertaken by the user independent of such requirements. 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 analyses; the analytical techniques or methods used; and the results of such analyses. Records shall also include, but not be limited to, cleaning manifests, permits, correspondence from the City-Parish, including but not limited to notices of violation or noncompliance, compliance orders, etc. These records shall remain available, onsite at the location of the permitted facility, for a period of at least three (3) years. This period shall be automatically extended for the duration of any litigation concerning the user or the City-Parish, or where the user has been specifically notified of a longer retention period by the City- Parish.

PART IE. - ENFORCEMENT AND PENALTIES.

Any violation(s) or noncompliance(s) to all the parts and sections of this ordinance shall be handled by this part.

Sec. 2:278. - Enforcement.

a) Administrative enforcement.

(1) Notification of violation/noncompliance. When the City-Parish finds that a user has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this part, a wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, the City-Parish may serve upon that user a written notice of violation/noncompliance. Within the days specified of receipt of this notice, the user shall correct the violation/noncompliance or provide an explanation of the violation/noncompliance and a plan for the satisfactory correction and prevention thereof, to include specific required actions, shall be submitted by the user to the City-Parish. Submission of this plan in no way relieves the user of liability for any violations/noncompliance occurring before or after receipt of the notice of violation/noncompliance. Nothing in this section shall limit the authority of the City-Parish to take any action, including emergency actions or any other enforcement actions, without first issuing a notice of violation/noncompliance.

(2) Consent orders. The City-Parish may enter into consent orders, assurances of voluntary compliance, or other similar documents establishing an agreement with any user responsible for noncompliance. Such documents will include specific action to be taken by the user to correct the noncompliance within a time period specified by the document. Such documents shall have the same force and effect as the administrative orders and shall be judicially enforceable.

(3) Show cause hearing. The City-Parish may allow a user which has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this part, a wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, to appear before the City-Parish and show cause why the proposed enforcement action should not be taken. Notice shall be served on the User specifying the time and place for the meeting, the proposed enforcement action, the reasons for such action, and a request that the User show cause why the proposed enforcement action should not be taken. The notice of the meeting shall be served personally or by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) at least 30 days prior to the hearing. Such notice may be served on any Authorized Representative of the User as defined in Section 2:253 of the Definitions and abbreviations. A show cause hearing shall not be a bar against, or prerequisite for, taking any other action against the User.

128 December 11, 2019

(4) Compliance orders. When the City-Parish finds that a user has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this part, a wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, the City-Parish may issue an order to the user responsible for the discharge directing that the user come into compliance within a specified time. If the user does not come into compliance within the time provided, occupational license may be discontinued unless adequate treatment facilities, devices, or other related appurtenances are installed and properly operated. Compliance orders also may contain other requirements to address the noncompliance, including additional self- monitoring and management practices designed to minimize that amount of pollutants discharged to the sewer. A compliance order may not extend the deadline for compliance established for a pretreatment standard or requirement, nor does a compliance order relieve the user of liability for any violation, including any continuing violation. Issuance of a compliance order shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against the user.

(5) Cease and desist orders. When the authority finds that a user has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this part, a wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, or that the user's past violations are likely to recur, the City-Parish may issue an order directing it to cease and desist all such violations and directing the user to:

a.Immediately comply with all requirements; and

b.Take such appropriate remedial or preventive action as may be needed to properly address a continuing or threatened violation, including halting operations and/or terminating the discharge. Issuance of a cease and desist order shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against the User.

(6) Civil fines.

a.When the City-Parish finds that a user has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this part, a wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, the City- Parish shall fine such user according to the schedule of civil fines detailed in this ordinance, as shown in the City-Parish Enforcement Response Plan in an amount not to exceed the sum of $1,000.00. Such fines shall be assessed on a per-violation, per-day basis. In the case of monthly or other long-term average discharge limits, fines shall be assessed for each day during the period of violation.

b.Unpaid charges, fines, and penalties shall, after thirty (30) calendar days be assessed an additional penalty of one (1) percent of the unpaid balance, and interest shall accrue thereafter at a rate of twelve (12) percent per year. A lien against the user's property will be sought for unpaid charges, fines, and penalties.

c.The City-Parish may add the costs of preparing administrative enforcement actions, such as notices and orders, to the fine. In addition to fines, the user may be required to reimburse the City-Parish for other expenses associated with enforcement activities, including sampling and monitoring activities, and the cost of any actual damages incurred by the City-Parish.

d.Issuance of an administrative fine shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against the user.

129 December 11, 2019

(7) Emergency suspensions. The City-Parish may immediately suspend a user's discharge, after informal notice to the user, whenever such suspension is necessary to stop an actual or threatened discharge which reasonably appears to present or cause an imminent or substantial endangerment to the health or welfare of persons, or may present endangerment to the operation of the POTW or may present an endangerment to the environment. Written notice shall follow within seven (7) days. Any User notified of a suspension of its discharge shall immediately stop or eliminate its contribution. In the event of a User’s failure to immediately comply voluntarily with the suspension order, the City- Parish may take such steps as deemed necessary, including immediate severance of the sewer connection, to prevent or minimize damage to the POTW, its receiving stream, or endangerment to any individuals. The City- Parish may allow the User to recommence its discharge when the User has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the City-Parish that the period of endangerment has passed, unless the termination proceedings in Part IE Section 2:278 and Section 2:281 of this ordinance are initiated against the User.

a.The City-Parish may allow the user to recommence its discharge when the user has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the City-Parish that the period of endangerment has passed, unless the termination proceedings in this part are initiated against the user.

b.A user that is responsible, in whole or in part, for any discharge presenting imminent endangerment shall submit a detailed written statement, describing the causes of the harmful contribution and the measures taken to prevent any future occurrence, to the City-Parish.

(8) Termination of discharge. In addition to the above provisions of this part, any user who violates the following conditions is subject to discharge termination:

a. Violation of wastewater discharge permit conditions;

b. Failure to accurately report the wastewater constituents and characteristics of its discharge;

c. Failure to report significant changes in operations or wastewater volume, constituents, and characteristics prior to discharge;

d. Refusal of reasonable access to the user's premises for the purpose of inspection, monitoring, or sampling; or

e. Violation of any pretreatment standards of this part.

(9) Appeals of administrative enforcement actions. Users desiring to dispute any enforcement actions must file a written appeal within ten days to the Director of Environmental Services. A timely and properly filed appeal shall suspend the effect of the action appealed until the Director of Environmental Services has ruled on the appeal, except for actions taken in order to stop an actual or threatened discharge determined by the Director of the Department of Environmental Services to present or cause imminent or substantial endangerment to the health or welfare of persons, the operation of the POTW, or the environment. b) Judicial enforcement remedies.

130 December 11, 2019

(1) Injunctive relief. Whenever a user has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this part, wastewater discharge permit, or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, the City-Parish may petition the Nineteenth Judicial District Court through the Parish Attorney for the issuance of a temporary or permanent injunction, as appropriate, which restrains or compels the specific performance of the wastewater discharge permit, order, or other requirement imposed by this part on activities of the user. The City-Parish may also seek such other action as is appropriate for legal and/or equitable relief, including a requirement for the user to conduct environmental remediation. A petition for injunctive relief shall not be a bar against or a pre-requisite for taking any other action against a User.

(2) Civil penalties.

a. Whenever a user has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this part, a wastewater discharge permit, or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement shall be liable to the City-Parish according to the schedule of civil fines detailed in this part, as shown in the City- Parish Enforcement Response Plan. In the case of a monthly or other long-term average discharge limit, penalties shall accrue for each day during the period of the violation.

b. The City-Parish shall recover attorneys' fees, court costs, and other expenses associated with enforcement activities, including sampling and monitoring expenses, and the cost of any actual damages incurred by the City-Parish.

c. In determining the amount of civil liability, the court shall take into account all relevant circumstances, including, but not limited to, the extent of harm caused by the violation, the magnitude and duration of the violation, any economic benefit gained through the user's violation, corrective actions by the user, the compliance history of the user, and any other factor as justice requires.

d. Filing a suit for civil penalties shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against a user.

(3) Criminal prosecution.

a. Whenever a user willfully or negligently violates any provision of this part, a wastewater discharge 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 one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per violation, per day, or imprisonment for not more than five (5) years, or both.

b. Whenever a user willfully or negligently introduces any substance into the POTW which causes personal injury or property damage shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a misdemeanor and be subject to a penalty of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000.00), or be subject to imprisonment for not more than five (5) years, or both. This penalty shall be in addition to any other cause of action for personal injury or property damage available under state law.

131 December 11, 2019

c. Whenever a user knowingly makes any false statements, representations, or certifications in any application, record, report, plan, or other documentation filed, or required to be maintained, pursuant to this part, wastewater discharge permit, or order issued hereunder, or who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly renders inaccurate any monitoring device or method required under this part shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per violation, per day, or imprisonment for not more than five (5) years, or both.

d. In the event of a second conviction, a user shall be punished by a fine not to exceed of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per violation, per day, or imprisonment for not more than five (5) years, or both.

(4) Remedies nonexclusive. The remedies provided for in this part are not exclusive. The City-Parish shall take any, all, or any combination of these actions against a noncompliant user. Enforcement of pretreatment violations will be in accordance with the City-Parish’s Enforcement Response Plan. However, the City-Parish may take other action against any user when the circumstances warrant. Further, the City-Parish is empowered to take more than one (1) enforcement action against any noncompliant user.

c) Supplemental enforcement action.

(1) Financial assurance. The City-Parish may decline to issue or reissue a wastewater discharge permit to any user who has failed to comply with any provision of this part, 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 financial assurances sufficient to restore or repair damage to the POTW caused by its discharge.

(2) Occupational license revocation. Whenever a user has violated or continues to violate any provision of this part, a wastewater discharge permit, or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, the user's occupational license may be revoked. The license will be re- instated, at the user's expense, after it has satisfactorily demonstrated its ability to comply.

(3) Public health nuisances. A violation of any provision of this part, a wastewater discharge permit, or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement is hereby declared a public health nuisance and shall be corrected or abated as directed by the City-Parish.

Sec. 2:279. - Publication of users in significant noncompliance.

The City-Parish shall publish annually, in a newspaper of general circulation that provides meaningful public notice within the jurisdictions served by the City-Parish, a list of the users which, at any time during the previous twelve (12) months, were in significant noncompliance with pretreatment standards and requirements as defined in this part, 40 CFR 403.8(f)(2)(vii), 55 Federal Register 30082, and LAC 33:IX.6115.F.2.h. The term significant noncompliance shall be applicable to all SIU’s (or any other Industrial User that violates paragraphs 3, 4, or 5 of this Section) and shall mean: 132 December 11, 2019

(1) Chronic violations of wastewater discharge limits, defined here as those in which sixty-six (66) percent or more of all the wastewater measurements taken during a six- month period exceed (by any magnitude), a numeric pretreatment standard or requirement, including instantaneous limits as defined in Section 2:253 for the same pollutant parameter by any amount;

(2) Technical review criteria (TRC) violations, defined here as those in which thirty- three (33) percent or more of all the wastewater measurements taken for each pollutant parameter during a six-month period equals or exceeds the product of the numeric Pretreatment Standard or Requirement including instantaneous limits, as defined by Section 2:253 multiplied by the applicable criteria (1.4 for BOD, TSS, fats, oils and grease, and 1.2 for all other pollutants except pH);

(3) Any other discharge violation of a Pretreatment Standard or Requirement as defined by Part 1A (daily maximum, long- term average, instantaneous limit, or narrative standard) that the City-Parish believes has caused, alone or in combination with other discharges, interference or pass through including endangering the health of POTW personnel or the general public;

(4) Any discharge of a pollutants that has caused imminent endangerment to the public or to the environment, or has resulted in the City-Parish’s exercise of its emergency authority to halt or prevent such a discharge;

(5) Failure to meet, within ninety (90) days of the scheduled date, a compliance schedule milestone contained in a wastewater discharge permit or enforcement order for starting construction, completing construction, or attaining final compliance;

Sec. 2:281. - Wastewater discharge permit revocation.

(a) Termination. Wastewater discharge permits shall be terminated upon completion of operations or transfer of business ownership. All wastewater discharge permits issued to a particular user are terminated upon the issuance of a new wastewater discharge permit to that user.

(b) Revocation. A wastewater discharge permit may be subject to revocation for good cause, including, but not limited to, the following reasons:

(1) Failure to notify the City-Parish of significant changes to the wastewater prior to the changed discharge;

(2) Failure to provide prior notification of changed conditions;

(3) Misrepresentation or failure to fully disclose all relevant facts in the wastewater discharge permit application;

133 December 11, 2019

Sec. 2:282. - Affirmative defenses.

(a) Upset.

(1) Users shall control production of all discharges to the extent necessary to maintain compliance with applicable 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.

(2) For the purposes of this chapter, 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.

(3) An upset shall constitute an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with applicable pretreatment standards if the requirements of subsection (4) of this section are met.

(4) A user who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset to an enforcement action brought for noncompliance with applicable pretreatment standards shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:

a. An upset occurred and the user can identify the cause(s) of the upset; and it was not due to improperly designed or inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation;

b. The facility was at the time being operated in a prudent and workman- like manner and in compliance with applicable operation and maintenance procedures; and

c. The user has submitted the following information to the City-Parish, the POTW and treatment plant operator within twenty-four (24) hours of becoming aware of the upset (if this information is provided orally, a written submission must be provided within five (5) days):

134 December 11, 2019

1. A description of the indirect discharge and cause of noncompliance;

2. The period of noncompliance, including exact dates and times or, if not corrected, the anticipated time the noncompliance is expected to continue; and

3. Steps being taken and/or planned to reduce, eliminate, and prevent recurrence of the noncompliance.

(5) In any enforcement proceeding, the user seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset shall have the burden of proof.

(6) Users will have the opportunity for a judicial determination on any claim of upset only in an enforcement action brought for noncompliance with applicable pretreatment standards.

(b) Prohibited discharge standards. A user shall have an affirmative defense to an enforcement action brought against it for noncompliance 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 City- Parish was regularly in compliance with its NPDES permit, and in the case of interference, was in compliance with applicable sludge use or disposal requirements.

(1) For the purposes of this chapter, "severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. "Severe property damage" does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production.

(2) A user may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause applicable pretreatment standards or requirements to be violated, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. Such bypasses are not subject to subsections (3) and (4) of this section.

(3) Bypass Notifications.

a. If a user knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior notice to the City-Parish, at least ten (10) days before the date of the bypass, if possible.

b. User shall submit oral notice to the City-Parish of an unanticipated bypass that exceeds applicable pretreatment standards within twenty- four (24) hours from the time it becomes aware of the bypass. A written submission shall also be provided within five (5) days of the time the user becomes aware of the bypass. The written submission shall contain a description of the bypass and its cause; the duration of the bypass, including exact dates and times, and, if the bypass has not been corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to continue; and steps taken or planned to reduce, eliminate, and prevent reoccurrence of the bypass. The City-Parish with concurrence of the POTW may waive the written report on a case-by-case basis if the oral report has been received within twenty-four (24) hours.

135 December 11, 2019

(4) Bypass. Bypass is prohibited, and the City-Parish and/or POTW may take an enforcement action against a user for a bypass, unless:

a. Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury, or severe property damage;

b. There were no 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 preventive maintenance; and

c. The user submitted notices as required under subsection (3) of this section.

(5) The City-Parish with concurrence of the POTW may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects, if the POTW determines that it will meet the three (3) conditions listed in subsection (4)a.—c. of this section.”

Section 2. The provisions of this ordinance are declared to be separate and severable. The invalidity of any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section or portion of this ordinance, or the invalidity of the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this ordinance, or the validity of its application to other persons or circumstances.

Section 3. All ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.
