EPA regulation 40 CFR 403.8(0(4) states that delegated Pretreatment Programs must develop local limits; and 40 CFR 403.5(c) states that local limits are needed when pollutants are received that could result in pass through or interference at the POTW. • In accordance with Section S6.D of the City of Yakima's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Waste Discharge Permit # WA- 002402 -3, as issued by the Department of Ecology (Ecology), the City of Yakima is required to develop and reevaluate local limits in order to prevent pass through or interference. Ecology requires revision or establishment of local limits for any pollutant discharged to the POTW that has a reasonable potential to exceed the Water Quality Standards, Sediment Standards, or established effluent limits, or causes whole effluent toxicity. Ecology has determined such a review is required of the City by July, 2010, for incorporation into the City's NPDES Permit cycle beginning June 30, 2011. - (Continued on page 2) Resolution X Ordinance _ Contract _ Other (Specify) Funding Source: 473 Pretreatment Professional Services APPROVED FOR SUBMITTAL: City Manager ' STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests that City Council adopt the enclosed resolution authorizing and directing the City Manager to execute an agreement between the City of Yakima and CWA Consulting Services, LLC for evaluation of local limits. 0 BOARD /COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: COUNCIL ACTION: Page 2 ® To comply with State and Federal ru les and regulations, it is the desire of wastewater staff to enter into an agreement with CWA Consulting Services, LLC, for a Washington State approved local limit evaluation including local limit updates to Chapter 7.65 Sewer Use and Pretreatment Regulations of the Yakima Municipal Code.

The City is le required to complete a re- evahuation of its local limits prior to expiration of the existing permit on June 30, 2011. Local limits will be developed for Significant Industrial Users (SIUs). Local limits for the EPA required metals, BOD and TSS would be developed. BOD and TSS local limits would be developed based upon the - Design Standards. Local limits for Benzene and BTEX would be developed based upon existing EPA technology. Limits for other pollutants would be evaluated based upon existing data and the preference for permit- specific local limits rather than POTW service area wide local limits. Based upon the current industry profile, CWACS anticipates that concentration -based local limits will be adopted for metals, Benzene and BTEX, whereas mass -based limits will be adopted for BOD and TSS. The local limits project will include providing a Maximum Allowable Industrial Load (MAIL) for the mass -based limits. The City has a partial Pretreatment Program approved. The State of Washington issues permits to industrial users that are located in jurisdictions that discharge to the Yakima collection system (e.g. Union Gap). The City permits 21 discharging SIUs and the State issues permits to 4 of the SIUs located in another jurisdiction. Del Monte appears to discharge to the treatment works through a dedicated sewer line and provides the greatest amount of loading to the POTW during the summer and fall months. The State has established specific monitoring requirements for this industrial discharge in the City's NPDES permit (WA 002402 - 3). Objectives My objectives for the proposed projects include: ✓ Provide the City with a State approvable local limits package, including relevant local limits updates to Chapter 7.65, Sewer Use and Pretreatment Regulations. Professional Services Agreement Page 8 of 12 City of Yakima and CWACS 4111 ✓ Provide the City with a licensed copy of the CWACS local limits spreadsheet and free updates for 2009. ✓ Provide the City with a copy of their current legal authority showing the changed local limits.
