.r <br />The second major revision is for a locally mandated certified operator requirement. Operator <br />certification requirements for industrial pretreatment discharge permitees are covered by State of <br />Indiana administrative code. South Bend's pretreatment discharge permits cite the Indiana <br />administrative code although South Bend does not officially have the power to enforce the <br />requirement. Also, there have recently been several attempts by lobbyists to remove the state <br />requirement for a certified operator. A local requirement would still be in effect even if the state <br />removed its requirement. A certified operator requirement in South Bend's local ordinance <br />would strengthen the requirement and ultimately enhance compliance. <br />The City has proposed to US EPA to have these ordinance revisions completed by November 30, <br />1999, so these ordinance revisions need to be on an accelerated time table if at all possible. <br />Please do not hesitate to call me at 235-9251 or Ken Zmudzinski at 277-8515, should you have <br />any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />€:~~ <br />Lewis N.
