C. Permit Compliance <br />Permit compliance is of the utmost importance and <br />requires continued diligence. Without exception, all <br />permit requirements must be in compliance. Non- <br />compliance with the permit conditions constitutes a <br />violation of the Florida Administrative Code and will <br />trigger an enforcement action that could result in fines <br />and/or imprisonment. <br />We have not experienced any enforcement action taken to <br />date by the FDEP or the EPA due to our persistent <br />diligence and expertise in this most important area of <br />utility management. <br />We are extremely proud of this accomplishment. <br />D. Industrial Waste Permitting - we issue the permit <br />We review and approve all proposals for industrial waste <br />discharge into our sewer collection system. The <br />biological treatment process employed at our treatment <br />facilities is a sensitive process which depends on the <br />activity of living microorganisms. Due to the <br />sensitivity of this operation, we must require and <br />regulate the pretreatment of wastewater which could <br />disrupt our treatment processes, prior to its discharge <br />into our collection system. If the plant balance (i.e. <br />food to organism ratio is upset, depletion of dissolved <br />oxygen occurs, or pH upset, and etc.) it can lead to a <br />non-compliance violation of our permit for an extended <br />period of time. Accordingly, effective administration of <br />this program protects our utility from possible permit <br />violations and treatment process disruptions. <br />E. Permitting of Private Development Construction - again we <br />issue the permit. <br />This program ensures that proper and uniform engineering <br />and construction methods and practices are employed <br />R (1 a Ct�UC 400 <br />FEBRUARY 3, 1997 <br />
