wastewater sewers or wastewater treatment facilities.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Utilities Department Director of the County
wastewater systems or his designees shall administer, implement, and enforce the
provisions of this ordinance.
This ordinance sets forth uniform requirements for direct and indirect discharges of

Indian River County and enables the County to comply with all applicable State and
Federal laws including the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1251 et seq.) and the General
Pretreatment Regulation (40 CFR Part 403). The purpose of this ordinance is:
1. To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the municipal wastewater system
which will interfere with the operation of the system;
2. To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the municipal wastewater system
which will pass through the system, inadequately treated, into receiving water or
the atmosphere or otherwise be incompatible with the system,
3. To ensure that the quality of the wastewater treatment plant sludge is maintained
at a -level which does not impact its marketability and allows normal handling and
disposal procedures (i.e., does not cause changes in the regulatory classification
of the sludge).
E:V 653\REPORT\ORDLKANC.I
4. To protect both municipal personnel who may come into contact with sewage,
sludge and effluent in the course of their employment as well as protecting the
general public;
5. To prevent a hydraulic overload of the municipal wastewater system,
7. To provide for equitable distribution of the cost of operation, maintenance and
improvement of the municipal wastewater system; and,
8. To ensure that the County complies with its NPDES pernvt conditions, sludge use
and disposal requirements, and any other Federal or State laws which the
municipal wastewater system is subject to.
This ordinance provides for the regulation of direct and indirect discharge to the
municipal wastewater collection system through the issuance of permits to certain
Industrial Users and through enforcement of general requirements for all other Industrial
Users. This ordinance also authorizes monitoring and enforcement activities, establishes
administrative review procedures, requires user reporting, and provides for the setting of
fees for the equitable distribution of costs resulting from the program established herein.

The grab samples shall be taken in a manner which will provide a representative
sample of the waste stream.
4. Frequency. The permitted industrial user shall collect and analyze representative
samples for the pollutants which are identified on the user's permit at the frequency
stated on the permit which shall not exceed 6 months. In the event that the
concentration of a limited parameter (as defined in Section H) is exceeded, the

greater than 40 mg/L or suspended solids greater than 250 mg/L in accordance with
Ordinance 91-9, Section 201.08, Paragraph F.
[Note: Paragraph F of Ordinance 91-9, Section 201.08 will be changed to read. All
sewage discharged into the sanitary sewer system which has an average concentration of
carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD) of 300 milligrams per liter (mg/L) or
greater, an average concentration of chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 750 mg/L or
greater, an average concentration of total phosphorus of 20 mg/L or greater, an average
concentration of total nitrogen of 40 mg/L or greater, or an average concentration of
suspended solids of 250 mg/L or greater shall be subject to an excessive strength charge.
The amount of the excessive strength charge shall be equal to the customer's standard base
facilities and volume charges multiplied by the greater of five factors: the amount of the
customer's average concentration of CBOD in mg/L divided by 250, minus 1; the amount
of the customer's average COD in mg/L divided by 750, minus l; the amount of the
customers average concentration of total phosphorus in mg/L divided by 20, minus 1; the
amount of the customers average concentration of total nitrogen divided by 40, minus 1;
or the amount of customer's average concentration of suspended solids in mg/L divided by
250, minus 1. Any customer may sample its sewage and have it analyzed by an analytical
laboratory approved by the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation. The County
may sample and conduct analysis of the sewage produced by any customer to determine
sewage strength. Where such analysis demonstrates that the customer's sewage strength
exceeds the standards given above, the customer will be subject to the excess sewage
strength charge and shall reimburse the County for the cost of such analysis.]
