$AN <br />File Number: 14-458 <br />TO: City Council <br />FROM: Chris Zapata <br />City Manager <br />BY: Debbie Pollart <br />City of San Leandro <br />Meeting Date: November 3, 2014 <br />Public Works Director <br />FINANCE REVIEW: David Baum <br />Finance Director <br />Staff Report <br />Agenda Section: CONSENT CALENDAR <br />Agenda Number: 8.G. <br />TITLE: Staff Report for an Ordinance Repealing and Reenacting Title 3, Chapter 14 <br />of the San Leandro Municipal Code Relating to Uniform Wastewater <br />Discharge Regulations (updates definitions and pretreatment standards, <br />expands grease interceptor requirements) and for an Ordinance Amending <br />Title 3, Chapter 18 of the San Leandro Municipal Code Relating to <br />Enforcement of Environmental Regulations (includes authority to issue <br />Notices of Violation) <br />SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br />Audits by oversight agencies identified deficiencies in San Leandro's environmental program <br />enforcement ordinances. To correct these deficiencies, Title 3, Health and Safety, Chapter 14 <br />(Uniform Wastewater Discharge Regulations (UWDR)) and Chapter 18 (Environmental <br />Enforcement), need to be amended. Staff recommends that the City Council: <br />Approve an Ordinance repealing and reenacting Title 3, Chapter 14 relating to Uniform <br />Wastewater Discharge Regulations. <br />2. Approve an Ordinance amending Title 3, Chapter 18 relating to environmental <br />enforcement. <br />BACKGROUND <br />San Leandro's Municipal Code sections pertaining to pretreatment program implementation <br />and enforcing local codes related to environmental programs have not undergone any <br />significant revision since 2001. The Municipal Code does not provide environmental <br />inspectors the authority to issue Notices of Violation. The Uniform Wastewater Discharge <br />Regulations need to be updated to conform to current required standards. In addition, staff <br />added pretreatment standards to the grease interceptor requirements section. Other cleanup <br />of Municipal Code language and content were combined into these recommended revisions. <br />Analysis <br />City of San Leandro Page 1 Printed on 1012812014 <br />
