The survey results were forwarded to the TCEQ. The survey indicated <br />that the City was required to develop and implement a formal Industrial Waste Pretreatment Program. On <br />March 19,2001, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 2001-2474, which met all requirements for the <br />Program. The Program was developed and submitted to the TCEQ in April of2001 for consideration. <br /> <br />The TCEQ notified the City on May 12,2003 that it had reviewed the City's April 2001 submission and <br />that several portions of the Ordinance and the Program needed revisions because: (I) specific authority <br />provided by the ordinance is inconsistent with current federal regulations; or (2) recommended to <br />strengthen or clarify the City's ordinance. Additionally, the city's program submission for <br />implementation and enforcement of the ordinance was not detailed to the degree required. <br /> <br />The proposed ordinance will repeal Chapter 74, "Utilities", Article II, "Industrial Waste", Sections 74-36 <br />through 74-211 of the Code of Ordinances and replace with a new Chapter 74, "Utilities", Article II, <br />"Industrial Waste", of the Code of Ordinances. <br /> <br />Action Reauired bv Council: Approve new ordinance. <br /> <br /> <br />1./ d. ~./ ()3 <br /> <br />Date <br />
