§ 12A-8-6 Compliance meetings.
(A) Compliance Meetings are required when a pattern of noncompliance occurs or when previous violations appear to remain uncorrected, as evidenced by repeated violations. Compliance Meetings between the User and City Pretreatment Program staff are scheduled as a last step to ensure compliance before pursuing a more stringent intervention, such as an order to cease further discharge. During a Compliance Meeting, a Compliance Schedule is developed and tracked by the PS. Compliance Meetings may be scheduled when any one of the following occurs, and at such other times deemed appropriate by the Director:
(1) Discharge concentration exceeds five times the applicable discharge limit, or six times the applicable discharge limit for oil and grease;
(2) Discharge has a pH violation of less than 5.5 or greater than 10 for duration of 30 minutes or more and/or a volume greater than 100 gallons; or
(3) The IU has demonstrated a pattern of noncompliance as defined at Section 12A-8-2(B)(2).
(B) Compliance Schedule. When the discharger is found to be in noncompliance, a compliance schedule may be made part of an enforcement order. The deadline dates in the compliance schedule are enforceable requirements and are subject to the same enforcement actions and penalties as any other requirement of this chapter.
