CITY of SOUTH BEND STEPHEN J. LUECKE, MAYOR <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />May 3, 2011 <br />Mr. Derek Dieter, <br />President <br />South Bend Common Council <br />Mr. Oliver Davis <br />Chairman of Utilities Committee <br />South Bend Common Council <br />In Re: Revision to Chapter 17, Article 2, Divisions 1, 3, 4, and 6 <br />Dear President Dieter and Chairman Davis: <br />The attached ordinance is offered for Council consideration. Chapter 17 of the <br />municipal code, which regulates the use of and industrial discharge to public sewers, is <br />being revised. The revision is a requirement of the City of South Bend's National <br />Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit to implement an approved Industrial <br />Pretreatment Program. <br />Changes in federal pretreatment regulations mandate a revision to Chapter 17. In <br />addition, discharge limitations have been revised for pH and arsenic to protect the <br />environment and South Bend's publicly owned treatment works. The format and order of <br />Chapter 17 have also been revised in order for it to be easier for both South Bend staff <br />and local industry to read and implement. <br />A draft revision was provided to local industries currently regulated through the <br />pretreatment program. Additionally, a public notice of the revision was advertised in the <br />South Bend Tribune in January of this year. One set of comments was received, and <br />those and a draft response are attached. ' <br />I will make the formal presentations and am available anytime if you have <br />questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Al Greek <br />Division Director — Environmental Services <br />Filed i <br />3pgF <br />5 5 j <br />MAY `� lrU i i a E <br />6 <br />3 <br />CITY CLERK, SCIV-Tpi suw, 04 <br />Department of Public Works <br />Engineering <br />Water Works <br />Central Services <br />Streets <br />Wastewater <br />Gary A.
