Ordinance 12-28

The Ordinance enacts new requirements for managing wastewater quality which are included in the Federal Clean Water Act Streamlining Rule, administered by the EPA. The National Pollut-ant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) permit which was issued for the City’s Dillman Road Wastewater Treatment Plant requires that the City operate an approved Industrial Pre-treatment Program as prescribed in the Rule approved by the EPA. The changes to Title 10 of the Bloomington Municipal Code set out in the Ordinance bring the City into compliance with these requirements. The changes also codify and clarify existing policies and practices, and cod-ify new and existing regulations addressing fats, oils, and grease (FOG) generated by Food Ser-vice Establishments.
