record of the city must make their request to
the city clerk or a designee of the city clerk on
forms specified by the city clerk. The city clerk

received the request and providing a reason-
able estimate of the time the city will require to
respond to the request; or
C. Deny the public record request. Denials
must be accompanied by a written statement of
specific reasons therefor.
Additional time required to respond to a
request may be based on the need to clarify the
intent of the request, to locate and assemble the
information request, to notify third persons or
(Revised 5/04) 1-12
agencies affected by the request, or to deter-
mine whether any of the information requested
is exempt and that a denial should be made as

clarify the request, the city need not respond to
it. [Ord. 3011 § 1, 1995].

provides a list of all records exempt from pub-
lic disclosure. [Ord. 3011 § 1, 1995].

shall pay to the city clerk or a designee of the

the cost of reproduction of all public records
shall be made at the time the request for public
records is submitted. If there is uncertainty as
to the amount required, the amount tendered
shall based upon the rates and charges adopted
by the city council pursuant to this chapter. If
the actual amount of the cost of reproduction
exceeds the amount tendered, the balance shall
be paid upon delivery of the requested copy or
copies. In the event the amount tendered
exceeds the actual costs, the balance shall be
refunded by the city within a reasonable
amount of time. Except as specifically pro-
vided herein, there shall be no refunds. The
charges for photocopying shall be established
by the city clerk and approved by resolution of
the city council. Nothing herein shall be con-
strued to apply to charges for accident reports
pursuant to RCW 46.52.085.
Copying fees shall not be charged to elected
officials, appointed officers or employees of
the city or for reasonable amounts of courtesy

other state or federal court, the cost of prepar-
ing the same shall be born by the party filing
the action pursuant to rates and charges as pro-
posed by the city clerk and approved by the

determined by the city clerk, of the preparation
of the transcript based on the aforementioned
rates and charges, including copying costs and
the city clerk shall thereafter have the tran-
script prepared.

city in the preparation of the transcript exceed
the amount deposited with the city clerk, the
party making such deposit shall be required to
reimburse the city for such additional amount
within 10 days of notification that such amount

required to be filed with the court, whichever
occurs first. Should the actual cost incurred by
the city be less than the estimated cost depos-
ited, such credit due shall be reimbursed by the
city to the party making the deposit. [Ord.

surrendered and stray animals
required.
A. Stray dogs and cats at least two months
of age from the city's animal control service
area that are placed at and retained by the city
designated shelter, and dogs and cats owned by
citizens residing within the city's animal con-
trol service area that are surrendered at the
city's designated shelter, shall be spayed or
neutered, and verification of said surgery shall
be provided before animals are adopted. Pro-
vided, however, that any animal which has not
been spayed or neutered, and which is cur-
rently licensed pursuant to ECC 5.05.020 or
5.05.025 shall not be subject to be spayed or
neutered until the notification period of 10
days established by ECC 5.05.126(D) has
expired.
B. The city's designated veterinarian(s)
shall determine if said animals are appropriate
candidates for surgery. Dogs and cats deter-
mined by the city's designated veterinarian to
be permanently inappropriate candidates for
surgery may be adopted without surgery. Dogs
and cats at least two months of age who are
determined to be temporarily inappropriate
candidates for surgery, and dogs and cats
under two months of age, may be adopted
without surgery, providing that a $50.00
deposit shall be collected from the adopter.
Said deposit shall be returned to the adopter
upon receipt of written verification that the
animal has been spayed or neutered within six
months of adoption. If the spay or neuter sur-
gery is performed by a city designated veteri-
narian, the basic surgical costs will be paid by
the city as outlined in ECC 5.05.127.2. If the
animal is determined to be a permanently inap-
propriate surgical candidate the surgery will
not be required. In such cases the deposit shall
be returned to the adopter upon written verifi-
cation by a veterinarian of the animal's inap-
propriate surgical candidacy. Failure to have
the animal spayed or neutered within the spec -
5 -17 (Revised 5/04)
5.05.127.2
ified time period will result in the forfeiture of
the deposit and the deposit shall be placed in
the city of Edmonds' animal benefit fund.
C. Dogs or cats which have been spayed or
neutered at city expense shall be subject to a
fee of $50.00 as provided in this chapter. This
fee, unlike the deposit provided for in subsec-
tion (B) of this section, shall not be refundable.
[Ord. 3486 § 2, 2004; Ord. 3451 § 1, 2003].

their dogs or cats, and providing for spay and
neuter services for stray dogs and cats from the
city's animal control service area that are

shelter, proof of the animal owner's city of
Edmonds residency, as well as a statement of
financial need, shall be required as a prerequi-
site to receiving said financial assistance
voucher.
C. After performing the necessary spay or
neuter surgery upon an animal, the city's des-
ignated vetermarian(s) may submit an invoice

ment. The invoice will be paid at full cost of
agreed upon prevailing industry standards for
spay and neuter services for stray dogs and cats

from the city's animal control service area that
are placed at and retained by the city desig-
nated shelter, and dogs and cats owned by cit-
izens residing within the city's animal control
service area that are surrendered at the city
designated shelter.
D. After performing the necessary spay or
neuter surgeries upon an animal, the city's des-
ignated veterinarian(s) may submit an invoice

invoice shall be submitted with a photocopy of
said voucher attached, shall be signed by a vet-
erinarian, and shall contain the following
information:
1. Identification of the animal.
2. Identification of the person request-
ing the spay or neuter services for the animal.
3. Identification of the specific type of
spay or neuter services performed.
4. Date of performance of the spay or

7.90.010 Purpose and policy.
A. Chapters 7.90 through 7.102 ECC set
forth uniform requirements for users of the
publicly owned treatment works (POTW)
operated by the city of Edmonds, and enables
the city to comply with all applicable state and
federal laws, including the Clean Water Act
(33 USC 1251 et seq.) and the General Pre-
treatment Regulations (40 CFR Part 403). The
objectives of Chapters 7.90 through 7.102
ECC are:
1. To prevent the introduction of pollut-
ants into the POTW that will interfere with the
operation of the POTW;
2. To prevent the introduction of pollut-
ants into the POTW which will pass through
the POTW, inadequately treated, into receiv-
ing waters or otherwise be incompatible with
the POTW;
3. To ensure that the quality of POTW
sludge is maintained at a level which allows its
use and disposal in compliance with applicable
statutes and regulations;
4. To protect POTW personnel who may
be affected by wastewater and sludge in the
course of their employment and to protect the
general public;
5. To improve the opportunity to recycle
and reclaim wastewater and biosolids from the
POTW; and
6. To promote strategies that reduce the
amounts of pollution generated by users,
thereby reducing the associated hazards to the
POTW and receiving waters.
B. Chapters 7.90 through 7.102 ECC shall
apply to all users of the POTW. Chapters 7.90
7.90.030
through 7.102 ECC define certain prohibited
discharges; set forth local limits for use by
state agencies in the issuance of wastewater
discharge permits; authorize monitoring, com-
pliance, and enforcement activities; establish
administrative review procedures; require user
reporting; and provide for the recovery of liq-
uidated damages and collection of penalties.
[Ord. 3401 § 1, 2002].
7.90.020 Administration.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the
director shall administer, implement, and
enforce the provisions of Chapters 7.90
through 7.102 ECC. Any powers granted to or
duties imposed upon the director may be dele-
gated by the director to other city of Edmonds
personnel. [Ord. 3401 § 1, 2002].
7.90.030 Definitions.
Unless a provision explicitly states other-
wise, the following terms and phrases, as used
in Chapters 7.90 through 7.102 ECC, shall
have the meanings hereinafter designated.
1. "Accessible," when applied to required
pretreatment monitoring or treatment equip-
ment, shall mean direct access without the
necessity of removing any panel, door, vehi-
cle, equipment, materials, or other similar
obstruction.
2. "Act" or "the Act" means the Federal
Water Pollution Control Act, also known as
the Clean Water Act, 33 USC 1251 et seq., as
now exists or may hereafter be amended.
3. "Administrative penalty (fine)" means a
punitive monetary charge unrelated to treat-
ment cost, which is assessed by the director
rather than by a court.
4. "AKART" is an acronym for "all known,
available, and reasonable technology (preven-
tion, control, and treatment) to prevent and
control pollution of the waters of the state of
Washington." AKART shall represent the
most current methodology that can be reason-
ably required for preventing, controlling, or
abating the pollutants associated with a dis-
7-23 (Revised 5/04)
7.90.030
charge. AKART shall be applied by all users
of the POTW. AKART includes best manage-
ment practices and may be required by the
director for any discharge to the POTW.
5. "Applicable pretreatment standards"
means for any specified pollutant, the more
stringent of the city's prohibitive standards,
the city's specific pretreatment standards, the

Edmonds City Code
7.91.020 Federal categorical pretreatment
standards.
National categorical pretreatment standards
as adopted and hereafter amended by the EPA
pursuant to the Act shall be met by all users in
the regulated industrial categories. These stan-
dards, found in 40 CFR Chapter I, Subchapter
N, Parts 405-471, as the same now exists or is
hereinafter amended, are hereby incorporated
by reference. [Ord. 3401 § 2, 2002].
7.91.030 State requirements.
A. State requirements and limitations on
discharges to the POTW shall be met by all
users which are subject to such standards in
any instance in which they are more stringent
than federal requirements and limitations, or
those in Chapters 7.90 through 7.102 ECC or
other applicable ordinances. This includes the
requirement to meet AKART as defined herein
whenever applicable and more stringent than
the limits of ECC 7.91.040, and to comply
with the requirements of Chapter 7.92 ECC.
B. Any user determined by the city to qual-
ify as a significant industrial user shall file an
application for a state waste discharge permit
with the department in accordance with the
requirements of WAC 173-216-070. Proof of
acceptance of the application, and payment of
permit fees shall be kept at the user's facilities,
and produced upon request by the city. Failure
to submit the application or rejection of the
application by the department may be consid-
ered sufficient grounds to terminate or refuse
to provide sewer service. [Ord. 3401 § 2,
2002].
7.91.040 Local limits.
A. The following pollutant limits are estab-
lished to protect against pass through and
interference. No person shall discharge waste-
water containing in excess of the following
daily maximum allowable discharge limits:
arsenic 0.36 mg/L
cadmium 0.27 mg/L
7.91.060
chromium
1.99

B. The above limits apply at the point
where the wastewater is discharged to the
POTW (i.e., end of the user's pipe). Categori-
cal pretreatment standards apply at the end of
the process. However, the director may elect to
have local limits apply after pretreatment
and/or prior to mixing with dilution flows.
C. All concentrations for metallic sub-
stances are for "total" metal unless indicated
otherwise. The department may impose mass
limitations in addition to (or in place of) the
concentration -based limitations above.
D. Where a user is subject to a categorical
pretreatment standard and a local limit for a
given pollutant, the more stringent limit or
applicable pretreatment standard shall apply.
[Ord. 3487 § 3, 2004; Ord. 3401 § 2, 2002].
7.91.050 City's right of revision.
The city reserves the right to establish more
stringent standards or requirements on dis-
charges to the POTW. [Ord. 3401 § 2, 2002].
7.91.060 Special agreement.
A. The city reserves the right to enter into
written agreements with users to accept pollut-
ants compatible with the treatment system at
concentrations greater than those typical of
domestic wastewater. Within such agree-
ments, the city may establish terms of the
user's discharge to the POTW including max-
imum flow rates and concentrations. The city
may also establish fees to recover costs associ-
ated with treating such wastes and monitoring
7-33 (Revised 5/04)
7.91.070
schedules in such agreements, as provided by
ECC 7.102.010. In no case will a special
agreement waive compliance with a state or
federal pretreatment standard or requirement
including federal categorical pretreatment
standards.
B. Users discharging or intending to dis-
charge pollutants other than BOD and TSS,
and claiming compatibility, must prove to the
satisfaction of the director that such pollutants
are compatible with the POTW. The director
may require any claim of compatibility to be
endorsed by the department. [Ord. 3401 § 2,
2002].
7.91.070 Dilution.
A user shall not increase the use of process
water, or in any way attempt to dilute a dis-
charge, as a partial or complete substitute for
adequate treatment to achieve compliance with
an applicable pretreatment standard or require-
ment unless expressly authorized by an appli-
cable pretreatment standard or requirement.
The director may request the department to
impose mass limitations on users, which he
believes may be using dilution to meet applica-
ble pretreatment standards or requirements, or
in other cases when the imposition of mass
limitations is appropriate. [Ord. 3401 § 2,
2002].
7.91.080 Pretreatment facilities.
A. General Pretreatment Requirements.
1. Users shall procure and properly
install, operate, and maintain the wastewater
facilities which combined with appropriate
practices are necessary to achieve AKART as
defined herein. Such pretreatment facilities
shall be designed to achieve compliance with
all applicable pretreatment standards and
requirements set out in Chapters 7.90 through
7.102 ECC within the time limitations speci-
fied by the EPA, the state, or the director,
whichever is more stringent.
2. Detailed plans showing the pretreat-
ment facilities and operating procedures shall
(Revised 5/04) 7-34
be submitted to the department for review and
approval in accordance with the procedures of
Chapter 173-240 WAC, and shall be submitted
to the city before construction of the facility.
The review of such plans and operating proce-
dures will in no way relieve the user from the
responsibility of modifying the facility as nec-
essary to produce an acceptable discharge to
the city and/or the department and meet dis-
charge limitations under the provisions of
Chapters 7.90 through 7.102 ECC. Any facili-
ties required to pretreat wastewater to a level
acceptable to the city shall be provided, oper-
ated, and maintained at the user's expense.
3. Users shall comply with approved
engineering reports, plans and specifications,
and operations and maintenance manuals, and
shall modify such documents to reflect any
proposed modifications of industrial waste-
water (pretreatment) facilities. Users shall sub-
mit proposals to modify pretreatment facilities
to the department before implementation in
accordance with Chapter 173-240 WAC.
Users shall submit a copy of such revised plans
and the department's acceptance to the director
before implementing changes to approved pre-
treatment facilities. The director may audit the
compliance of any user, and require changes in
operating procedures deemed necessary by the
director to ensure continued compliance with
applicable pretreatment standards and require-
ments.
4. New sources, and new users deter-
mined to be SIUs, must have pretreatment
facilities installed and operating prior to dis-
charge, if required.
5. Users who operate restaurants, cafes,
lunch counters, delis, cafeterias, bars, or clubs;
or hotel, hospital, sanitarium, factory or school
kitchens; butcher shops; grocery stores or
other establishments where food (polar) grease
may be introduced to the sewer system shall
have pretreatment facilities to prevent the dis-
charge of fat, oil, and grease. Such pretreat-
ment facilities shall be either a grease
interceptor or grease trap as determined by the
Edmonds City Code
director, and installed in the wastewater line
leading from sinks, drains, or other fixtures
where grease may be discharged.
6. Users who operate automobile or
truck repair facilities, steam cleaning facilities
for motorized equipment, air compressor(s), or
any other establishments or equipment where
petroleum based (nonpolar) grease and oil may
be introduced to the sewer system shall have
pretreatment facilities to prevent the discharge
of oil and grease. These pretreatment facilities
shall be oil/water separators or interceptors
located to collect such mixture of grease, oil,
and water. Such facilities shall be in accor-
dance with city and state standards.
7. Oil or grease of petroleum or mineral
origin (nonpolar) shall not be discharged to the
city's sewer system at a concentration in
excess of 100 mg/L.
8. A plumbing permit is required for
the installation of a grease trap. Fee schedule
on file with city clerk's office.
9. A side sewer permit is required for
the installation of a grease interceptor. Fee
schedule on file with the city clerk's office.
B. Pretreatment Requirements for FOG.
1. The wholesale shredding and subse-
quent discharge of food wastes into the POTW
is prohibited. Dry scraping dishes and cooking
ware and the installation of flat screens and/or
baskets in the prerinse, preparation and pot
sinks is encouraged to reduce the solid waste
load and the discharge of fats and oils. A food
or garbage disposal unit, if used, must be con-
nected to a grease interceptor, which may
require more frequent cleaning due to the
increased solid waste load. A food or garbage
disposal unit shall not be used in a facility that
is served by a grease trap. For purposes of this
section, a food or garbage disposal unit is any
device designed to chop, cut, or grind food and
other waste material and discharge such waste
to the wastewater drainage system.
2. Users that recycle fats, oils and grease
must do so in a way that complies with all
7.91.080
applicable state, city, and health department
regulations.
3. The director will determine the type
of grease removal equipment required accord-
ing to the following criteria:
a. For new facilities: After February
16, 2004, food service facilities which are
newly proposed or constructed, or existing
facilities which will be expanded or renovated
to include a food service facility where such
facility did not previously exist, shall be
required to install, operate and maintain a
grease interceptor. The director may, in his or
her sole discretion, allow new facilities to
install a grease trap instead of a grease inter-
ceptor according to the following criteria:
i. A grease trap may be utilized
instead of a grease interceptor if it is demon-
strated to the satisfaction of the director that
the installation of a grease interceptor is phys-
ically impracticable. For purposes of this
determination, "physically impracticable"
shall include, but is not necessarily limited to,
the following conditions: (A) the lack of avail-
able space on the premises; (B) unavoidable
interference from underground utilities or
structures; and (C) topographical conditions
such as slope that unavoidably prevent instal-
lation of a grease interceptor.
ii. A grease trap may be utilized
instead of a grease interceptor if both of the
following conditions are present: (A) the city's
interceptor sizing formula results in a required
capacity of 500 gallons or less for the facility;
and (B) the facility has a seating capacity of 60
or less; provided, that if either condition subse-
quently ceases to exist, the director may
require said facility to install a grease intercep-
tor.
Notwithstanding the above, noth-
ing herein shall be construed as requiring the
director to allow a grease trap in lieu of a
grease interceptor.
b. For existing facilities: Subject to
the provisions of this subsection, food service
facilities operating prior to February 16, 2004,
7-35 (Revised 5/04)
7.91.080
shall be permitted to install, operate, and main-
tain grease traps that are properly sized and
installed according to the city's guidelines in
lieu of grease interceptors. However, the direc-
tor may, in his or her sole discretion, require an
existing facility to install a grease interceptor if
the facility meets one or both of the following
conditions: (A) continues to deposit FOG in
the wastewater collection system; or (B)
repeatedly violates BMPs or maintenance
standards.
i. Continued FOG deposition: The
facility shall be notified in writing by the direc-
tor if it must upgrade to a properly sized and
installed grease trap. Immediately following
the allowable period , for installation and
upgrade, the director may begin evaluation of
performance and FOG removal effectiveness
by inspection of the affected sewer main line
and lateral or by other appropriate means. If
the facility is found to still be contributing
FOG in quantities and at a projected deposition
rate sufficient to necessitate cleaning the
affected portion of the city's wastewater col-
lection system more frequently than once
every five years, or if the lateral continues to
require cleaning one or more times per year to
prevent grease blockages, then the director
may require installation of a grease intercep-
tor.
ii. Violation of maintenance stan-
dards or BMPs: If the facility demonstrates an
unwillingness or incapacity to apply appropri-
ate BMPs or to conduct proper grease trap
maintenance by receiving four or more written
notices of violation within a 12 -month period,
or six or more within a 24 -month period, then
the director may require installation of a grease
interceptor in addition to or in lieu of any other
fees, penalties, or other enforcement action.
iii. The director shall give written
notification to a facility that is required to
install a grease interceptor and shall require
such installation to be completed within 12
months of receipt of written notification.
(Revised 5/04) 7-36
iv. Approval by the director of
proposed grease removal equipment does not
in any way guarantee that this equipment will
function in the manner described by its con-
structor or manufacturer; nor shall it relieve a
person or facility of the responsibility of
replacing, enlarging, or otherwise modifying
such equipment to accomplish the intended
purpose. Approval by the director to install and
operate a grease trap shall not be construed to
mean that a grease interceptor may not subse-
quently be required according to the aforemen-
tioned criteria.
c. Exempt facilities: The director, in
his or her sole discretion, may grant exemption
from the requirement for grease removal
equipment to facilities that have little or no
potential to contribute oil and grease to the
wastewater collection system because they do
not cook or prepare food. The director may
revoke a facility's exemption if that facility's
operation changes to include cooking or food
preparation or if it becomes apparent that FOG
is being discharged and accumulating in the
facility's lateral or the POTW main line.
4. The use of any additive, such as
enzymes, chemicals, or bacteria, as a substitute
for grease traps or interceptors or the mainte-
nance of grease traps or interceptors is prohib-
ited. In no case shall any additive that emulsi-
fies fats, oils or grease be used. Any use of
additives as a supplement to grease intercep-
tors shall first be authorized in writing by the
director prior to their use by the facility owner
or the grease hauler. MSDS sheets and any
other applicable information concerning the
composition, frequency of use and mode of
action of the proposed additive shall be sent to
the city together with a written statement out-
lining the proposed use of the additive(s).
Based upon the information received and any
other information solicited from the potential
user or supplier, the city shall allow or deny the
use of the additive in writing. Permission to
use any specific additive may be withdrawn by
the city at any time if violations of this chapter
Edmonds City Code
occur that can be demonstrated to be due to the
use of the additive.
5. Alternative grease/oil removal sys-
tems may be approved in writing by the direc-
tor on a case-by-case basis to augment or
replace grease interceptors to achieve accept-
able discharge. Testing of alternative devices
to demonstrate acceptable removal of FOG
shall be at the expense of the user.
6. Authorized city employees shall be
allowed ready access at all reasonable times to
all parts of the user's premises for the purpose
of inspection, observation, records examina-
tion, measurement, sampling and testing in
accordance with the provisions of Chapters
7.90 through 7.102 ECC. The refusal of any
user to allow the director entry to or upon the
user's premises for purposes of inspection,
sampling effluents or inspecting and copying
records or performing such other duties as
shall be required by Chapters 7.90 through
7.102 ECC shall constitute a violation of
Chapters 7.90 through 7.102 ECC. The direc-
tor may seek a warrant or use such other legal
procedures as may be advisable and reason-
ably necessary to discharge his duties under
Chapters 7.90 through 7.102 ECC.
7. Inspections. City employees may
inspect the user's premises on both an
unscheduled and unannounced basis or on a
scheduled basis to ascertain whether the intent
of Chapters 7.90 through 7.102 ECC is being
met and all requirements are being complied
with. The official may also determine if the
facility has implemented best management
practices as fully as possible. Inspections may
include all equipment, food processing and
storage areas and shall pay special attention to
the processes that produce wastewater which
is discharged from the facility through the
grease interceptor/trap. The official may also
inspect the interceptor/trap maintenance
record, other pertinent data, the grease inter-
ceptor/trap and may check the level of the
interceptor/trap contents and/or take samples
7.91.080
as necessary. Noted deficiencies may include
but not be limited to:
a. Failure to properly maintain the
grease interceptor or trap in accordance with
the provision of Chapters 7.90 through 7.102
ECC.
b. Failure to record pumping
activities or keep copies of manifest forms or
receipts.
c. Failure to maintain logs, files,
records or access for inspection or monitoring
activities.
8. Reinspections. The city official shall
reinspect users' facilities that received defi-
ciency notices at a previous inspection. The
city official shall inspect the repairs or other
deficiencies and shall provide written notice of
compliance or noncompliance as the case may
be. In the event of continuing noncompliance,
successive reinspections will be scheduled and
appropriate fees shall be charged to the user
concerned. A first reinspection shall be per-
formed after a minimum of 30 working days
has elapsed to allow for corrective action by
the user to be completed.
9. Monitoring. The city shall have the
right to inspect a facility's lateral or to sample
and analyze the wastewater from any facility at
any time to determine compliance with the
requirements of the city code and to evaluate
the performance and effectiveness of equip-
ment and procedures to remove FOG from the
waste stream. Evidence of the deposition of
FOG in the facility's lateral or the city's sewer
line may cause enforcement action to be initi-
ated, and the city's monitoring costs may be
billed to the user.
10. If a failure to maintain grease traps
or interceptors, results in partial or complete
blockage of the building sewer, private sewer
system discharging to the city sewer system, or
other parts of the city sewer system, or
adversely affects the treatment or transmission
capabilities of the POTW, or requires exces-
sive maintenance by the city, or poses a possi-
ble health hazard, the discharger responsible
7-37 (Revised 5/04)
7.91.080
for the facilities shall be subject to the reme-
dies herein, including cost recovery, enforce-
ment and penalties.
C. Grease Traps. All grease trap installa-
tions must meet the following criteria:
1. Trap Design and Location. Grease
traps shall conform to the standards in the cur-
rent edition of the UPC. Grease traps shall be
installed in strict accordance with the manu-
facturer's instructions. Grease traps shall be
equipped with a cover and a mechanism for a
secure closing. Flow control devices shall be
required where the water flow through the
grease trap may exceed its rated flow. Dish-
washers and food or garbage disposal units
shall not be connected to grease traps. No more
than four fixtures shall connect to an individ-
ual grease trap. Grease traps shall be located in
the facility's sewer line between all fixtures
which may introduce grease into the sewer
system and the connection to the city's waste-
water collection system. Wastewater from san-
itary facilities and other similar fixtures shall
not be introduced into the grease trap under
any circumstances.
2. Trap Capacity. The required flow
capacity of the grease trap in gallons per
minute shall be determined according to sizing
guidelines adopted by the director. The direc-
tor may require installation of a grease trap
having a greater capacity than that indicated by
said guidelines if deemed necessary to protect
the city's sewer system.
3. Flow Control Device. Grease traps
shall be equipped with a device to control the
rate of flow through the unit. The rate of flow
shall not exceed the manufacturer's rated
capacity recommended in gallons per minute
for the unit.
4. Inspection, Cleaning and Mainte-
nance. Each facility shall be solely responsible
for the cost of trap installation, inspection,
cleaning and maintenance. Each facility may
contract with a grease hauler, or it may
develop a written protocol and perform its own
grease trap cleaning and maintenance proce-
(Revised 5/04) 7-38
dures. Cleaning and maintenance must be per-
formed when the total volume of captured
grease and solid material displaces more than
25 percent of the total volume of the unit. Each
facility shall determine the frequency at which
their grease trap shall be cleaned, but all grease
traps shall be opened, inspected, cleaned and
maintained at a minimum of once per week.
However, the director, in his or her sole discre-
tion, may authorize in writing a different
schedule based upon the rate at which 25 per-
cent of the unit's volume is displaced by
retained grease and solids as determined by
inspections.
5. Inspection. Grease traps may be
inspected by the city as necessary to assure
compliance with Chapters 7.90 through 7.102
ECC and to assure proper cleaning and main-
tenance schedules are being adhered to.
6. Repairs. The facility shall be respon-
sible for the cost and scheduling of all repairs
to its grease trap(s). Repairs required by the
city shall be completed within 14 working
days after the date of written notice of required
repairs is received by the facility. Users may
utilize a different schedule for repair upon
prior written approval from the city.
7. Disposal. Grease and solid materials
removed from a grease trap shall be disposed
of in the solid waste disposal system.
8. Record Keeping. The facility shall
maintain records of the date and time of all
cleaning and maintenance of each grease trap,
and shall make this record available for inspec-
tion by the city on demand.
D. Grease Interceptors. All grease intercep-
tor installations must meet the following crite-
ria:
1. Interceptor Design and Location.
Grease interceptors shall conform to the stan-
dards in the current edition of the UPC. Grease
interceptors shall have a minimum of two
compartments and shall be capable of separa-
tion and retention of grease and storage of set-
tled solids. Extended inlet and outlet sanitary
tees must be; provided, that extend down to
Edmonds City Code
within 12 inches from the bottom of the tank.
The owner/operator must provide, at his or her
sole expense, an access manhole over each
compartment for monitoring purposes. The
inlet and outlet tees must be a minimum of six
inches in diameter, and the influent and efflu-
ent flow must be visible and easily accessible
from the access manhole for sampling. Covers
shall have a gastight fit. The grease interceptor
shall be designed, constructed and installed for
adequate load-bearing capacity. Grease inter-
ceptors shall be located in the facility's lateral
sewer line between all fixtures which may
introduce grease into the sewer system and the
connection to the city's wastewater collection
system. Such fixtures shall include but not be
limited to: sinks, dishwashers, automatic hood
wash units, floor drains in food preparation
and storage areas, and any other fixture which
is determined to be a potential source of
grease. Wastewater from sanitary facilities and
other similar fixtures shall not be introduced
into the grease interceptor under any circum-
stances. Interceptors shall be installed in a
location outside of the building which pro-
vides easy access at all times for inspections,
cleaning and proper maintenance, including
pumping. The director is authorized to adopt
additional criteria and specifications for grease
interceptors.
2. Interceptor Capacity. Grease inter-
ceptor capacity calculations shall be per-
formed by each facility based on size and type
of operation according to the formulas con-
tained in the sizing guidelines adopted by the
director. The minimum capacity of any one
unit shall be 500 gallons and the maximum
capacity of any one unit shall be 4,000 gallons.
3. Inspection, Pumping and Mainte-
nance. Each facility shall be responsible for the
costs of installing, inspecting, cleaning and
maintaining its grease interceptor. All facili-
ties that have grease interceptors shall utilize a
grease hauler. Pumping services shall include
the complete removal of all contents, including
floating materials, wastewater, and bottom
7.91.080
sludges and solids. Decanting or discharging
of removed wastes back into the grease inter-
ceptor from which the wastes were removed,
or into any other grease interceptor, for the
purpose of reducing the volume to be disposed
of is strictly prohibited. Grease interceptor
cleaning shall include removal of excessive
solids from the walls, floors, baffles and all
pipework. Each facility shall ensure that all fit-
tings and fixtures inside the interceptor are in
good condition and functioning properly after
the pumping procedure, and that the unit is
filled with enough clean, cool tap water to pre-
vent any FOG from passing through the unit as
it fills.
4. Interceptor Pumping Frequency.
Each facility shall clean its grease interceptor
at a minimum frequency of once every 90
days. Each facility shall determine the fre-
quency at which its grease interceptor shall be
pumped according to the following criteria:
a. When the floatable grease layer
exceeds 12 inches in depth as measured in the
inlet compartment; or
b. When the total volume of captured
grease and solid material displaces more than
25 percent of the capacity of the interceptor as
measured in the inlet compartment; or
c. When the interceptor is not retain-
ing/capturing oils and greases; or the removal
efficiency of the device, as determined through
sampling and analysis, is less than 80 percent.
5. Cleaning Variance. If a facility
believes that quarterly pumping of their grease
interceptor is unnecessary in order to remain in
compliance with the criteria of subsection
(D)(4) of this section, the facility may make
written application to the director for a written
variance from the quarterly pumping require-
ments. City employees will review cleaning
maintenance records and perform physical
inspections of the interceptor as needed to ver-
ify compliance with subsection (D)(4) of this
section. The city will base the new cleaning
frequency schedule upon observed accumula-
tion for the user requesting the variance.
7-39 (Revised 5/04)
7.91.090
6. Inspection. Grease interceptors may
be inspected by the city as necessary to assure
compliance with Chapters 7.90 through 7.102
ECC and to assure proper cleaning and main-
tenance schedules are being adhered to.
7. Repairs. The facility shall be respon-
sible for the cost and scheduling of all repairs
to its grease interceptor(s). Repairs required by
the city shall be completed within 14 working
days after the date of written notice of required
repairs is received by the facility or other
schedule upon written approval from the city.
8. Disposal. Wastes removed from each
grease interceptor shall be disposed of at a
facility that is permitted to receive such
wastes. Grease or gray water shall not be
returned to any grease interceptor, private
sewer line or to any portion of the city's waste-
water collection system.
9. Record Keeping. Each facility shall
maintain records of the date and time of all
cleaning and maintenance of each grease inter-
ceptor, and shall make this record available for
inspection by the city on demand.
E. Other Interceptors.
1. Dischargers who operate automatic
and coin-operated laundries, car washes, fill-
ing stations, commercial garages or similar
businesses having any type of washing facili-
ties (including pressure washing and steam
cleaning) or any other dischargers producing
grit, sand, oils, lint, or other materials which
have the potential of causing partial or com-
plete obstruction of the building side sewer or
other areas in the POTW shall, upon order of
the director, install approved interceptors,
oil/water separators, or tanks in accordance
with specifications adopted by the city of
Edmonds such that excessive amounts of oil,
sand and inert solids are effectively prevented
from entering the POTW.
2. Installation and Maintenance. All
grease interceptors, oil/water separators, set-
tling tanks and grit traps shall be properly
installed, maintained and operated by the dis-
charger at his own expense. The installation
(Revised 5/04) 7-40
shall be kept in continuous operation at all
times, and shall be maintained in a manner that
shall prevent oil or grease, and inert solids
from being carried into the sewer system at all
times. A service contractor qualified to per-
form such cleaning must perform cleaning. All
material removed shall be disposed of in
accordance with all state and federal regula-
tions. Records and certification of mainte-
nance shall be made readily available to the
director for review and inspection, and must be
maintained for a minimum of three years.
3. If a failure to maintain settling tanks,
grit traps, grease interceptors, or oil/water sep-
arators results in partial or complete blockage
of the building sewer, private sewer system
discharging to the city sewer system, or other
parts of the city sewer system, or adversely
affects the treatment or transmission capabili-
ties of the POTW, or requires excessive main-
tenance by the city, or poses a possible health
hazard, the discharger responsible for the facil-
ities shall be subject to the remedies herein,
including cost recovery, enforcement and pen-
alties. [Ord. 3487 § 4, 2004; Ord. 3401 § 2,
2002].
7.91.090 Deadline for compliance with
applicable pretreatment
requirements.
A. Pretreatment Facilities for FOG. All res-
taurants, cafes, lunch counters, delis, cafete-
rias, bars, or clubs; or hotel, hospital,
sanitarium, factory or school kitchens; butcher
shops; or other establishments where food
(polar) grease may be introduced to the sewer
system which do not have grease traps or inter-
ceptors, or do not have adequately sized or cor-
rectly installed traps or interceptors shall meet
the requirement for removal of fats, oils, and
grease by installing or properly connecting an
approved grease trap or interceptor, as deter-
mined by the director.
Edmonds City Code
Facilities that are required to install
approved grease interceptors shall do so within
12 months after receiving written notification
from the director.
Facilities that are allowed to install
approved grease traps or to upgrade existing
trap installations, as provided elsewhere in this
chapter, shall do so within 90 days after receiv-
ing written notification from the director.
Facilities which are newly proposed or con-
structed after February 16, 2004, shall meet the
requirements in this chapter for installation of
grease removal equipment prior to commence-
ment of discharge.
B. Significant Industrial Users. Compli-
ance by existing sources (categorical users)
covered by categorical pretreatment standards
shall be within three years of the date the stan-
dard is effective unless a shorter compliance
time is specified in the appropriate standard.
The department shall establish a final compli-
ance deadline date for any categorical user
when the local limits for said user are more
restrictive than EPA's categorical pretreat-
ment standards.
New source dischargers, and "new users"
that are determined to be SIUs, are required to
comply with applicable pretreatment standards
within the shortest feasible time (not to exceed
90 days from the beginning of discharge). New
sources, and "new users" that are determined
to be SIUs, shall install and have in operating
condition, and shall "start-up" all pollution
control equipment required to meet applicable
pretreatment standards before beginning to
discharge. [Ord. 3487 § 5, 2004; Ord. 3401
§ 2, 2002].
7.91.100 Additional pretreatment
measures.
A. Whenever deemed necessary, the direc-
tor may require users to restrict their discharge
during peak flow periods, designate that cer-
tain wastewater be discharged only into spe-
cific sewers, relocate and/or consolidate points
of discharge, separate sewage wastestreams
7.91.110
from industrial wastewater streams, and such
other conditions as may be necessary to protect
the POTW and determine the user's compli-
ance with the requirements of Chapters 7.90
through 7.102 ECC.
B. When determined necessary by the
director, each user discharging into the POTW
shall install and maintain, on his property and
at his expense, a suitable storage and flow -con-
trol facility to ensure equalization of flow. The
director may require the facility to be equipped
with alarms and a rate of discharge controller,
the regulation of which shall be determined by
the director. A wastewater discharge permit or
discharge authorization may be issued solely
for flow equalization.
C. Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall
be provided when, in the opinion of the direc-
tor, they are necessary for the proper handling
of wastewater containing excessive amounts
of grease and oil, or sand; except that such
interceptors shall not be required for residen-
tial users. All interception units shall be of type
and capacity approved by the director and shall
be so located to be easily accessible for clean-
ing and inspection. Such interceptors shall be
inspected, cleaned, and repaired regularly, as
needed, by the user at his expense.
D. Users with the potential to discharge
flammable substances may be required to
install and maintain an approved combustible
gas detection meter. [Ord. 3401 § 2, 2002].
7.91.110 Accidental discharge/slug
control plans.
A. The director may require any user to
install, properly operate and maintain, at its
own expense, facilities to prevent slug loads or
accidental discharges of pollutants to the
POTW. The director may require users to pro-
duce and/or implement spill plans developed
in compliance with applicable OSHA, health,
fire, and department regulations applicable to
discharges to POTWs. Where deemed neces-
sary by the director, facilities to prevent acci-
dental discharge or slug discharges of
7-41 (Revised 5/04)
7.91.120
pollutants shall be provided and maintained at
the user's cost and expense. When such plans
are required by the director, they shall contain
at least the following elements:
1. Description of discharge practices,
including nonroutine batch discharges;
2. Description of stored chemicals;
3. Procedures for immediately notifying
the POTW of any accidental or slug discharge.
Such notification must also be given for any
discharge which would violate any of the stan-
dards in ECC 7.91.010 through 7.91.040; and
4. Procedures to prevent adverse impact
from any accidental or slug discharge. Such
procedures include, but are not limited to,
inspection and maintenance of storage areas,
handling and transfer of materials, loading and
unloading operations, control of plant site run-
off, worker training, building of containment
structures or equipment, measures for contain-
ing toxic organic pollutants (including sol-
vents), and/or measures and equipment for
emergency response.
B. Users shall notify the Edmonds waste-
water treatment plant orally or in writing
immediately upon the occurrence of a slug
load or "accidental discharge" of substances
regulated by Chapters 7.90 through 7.102
ECC. The notification shall include location of
discharge, date and time thereof, type of waste,
concentration and volume, and corrective
actions. Any affected user shall be liable for
any expense, loss, or damage to the POTW, in
addition to the amount of any fines imposed on
the city on account thereof under state or fed-
eral law.
C. Within seven days following an acciden-
tal discharge, the user shall submit to the direc-
tor a detailed written report describing the
cause of the discharge and the measures to be
taken by the user to prevent similar future
occurrences. Such notification shall not relieve

The director may periodically notify new,
existing, and potential users of the requirement
to complete an industrial user survey form.
Upon notification, users shall fully and accu-
rately complete the survey form, and return the
completed form to the director within 30 days
of receipt. Each user shall maintain a copy of
the latest completed survey form at their place
of business. Failure to fully or accurately com-
plete a survey form or to maintain the latest
survey form on the premises where a waste-
water discharge is occurring shall be a viola-
tion of Chapters 7.90 through 7.102 ECC.
[Ord. 3487 § 6, 2004; Ord. 3401 § 3, 2002].
7.92.020 Wastewater discharge
permitting — Requirements for
discharge.
A. No significant industrial user shall dis-
charge wastewater into the POTW without
first obtaining a written statement from the
director that the POTW has the hydraulic,
and/or loading capacity to accept the dis-
charge. Each SIU must also comply with the
state requirements listed in ECC 7.91.030, and
in particular, apply for and receive a waste-
water discharge permit from the department
which authorizes the discharge. The director
may require proof of application as a condition
of new or continued discharge. Obtaining a
wastewater discharge permit does not relieve
7.92.030
an SIU of its obligation to comply with all fed-
eral and state pretreatment standards or
requirements or with any other requirements
of federal, state, and local regulation including
the requirement for applying AKART.
B. The director may require other users,
including liquid waste haulers, to obtain
wastewater discharge permits (as necessary) to
carry out the purposes of Chapters 7.90
through 7.102 ECC.
C. The director may also establish, and
require users by letter, permit, or rule, to
implement those best management practices
determined by the director to be representative
of AKART, or to discontinue use of any sub-
stance for which an effective substitute is
available which either:
1. Will lessen the potential for violating
Chapters 7.90 through 7.102 ECC or any water
quality standard; or
2. May represent a significant decrease
either singly, or in combination with other sim-
ilar users, in the toxicity of pollutant loadings
to the POTW. [Ord. 3401 § 3, 2002].
7.92.030 Permit requirements for
dangerous waste constituents.
Users discharging a wastestream containing
dangerous wastes as defined in Chapter 173-
303 WAC (listed, characteristic, or criteria
wastes) are required to comply with the fol-
lowing permit provisions:
A. Obtain a written authorization to dis-
charge the waste from the director, and either
obtain specific authorization to discharge the
waste in a state waste discharge permit issued
by the department, or accurately describe the
wastestream in a temporary permit obtained
pursuant to RCW 90.48.165. The description
shall include at least:
1. The name of the dangerous waste as
set forth in Chapter 173-303 WAC, and the
dangerous waste number;
2. The mass of each constituent
expected to be discharged;
7-43 (Revised 5/04)
7.93.010
3. The type of discharge (continuous,
batch, or other).
B. Compliance shall be obtained on the fol-
lowing schedule:
1. Before discharge for new users;
2. Within 30 days after becoming aware
of a discharge of dangerous wastes to the
POTW for existing users; and
3. Within 90 days after final rules iden-
tifying additional dangerous wastes or new
characteristics or criteria of dangerous waste
are published for users discharging a newly
listed dangerous waste. [Ord. 3401 § 3, 2002].

A. General Charges and Fees.
1. The following fees relate solely to the
matters covered by Chapters 7.90 through
7.102 ECC and are separate from all other
rates or charges for sewer service; provided,
that the city shall collect said charges in the
same manner as other sewer utility rates are
collected, including, but not limited to, the
sewer lien procedures provided under Chapter
35.67 RCW. A fee schedule containing all
applicable charges shall be maintained on file
at the city clerk's office.
2. Fees shall correspond to the actual
amount of expense incurred by the city, and
may include:
a. Fees for monitoring, inspection,
surveillance and enforcement procedures
including the cost of collection and analyzing
a user's discharge;
b. Fees for reviewing and responding
to accidental discharge procedures and con-
struction;
c. Fees for preparing and executing
enforcement action;
d. Fees for filing appeals;
e. Fees for high strength waste and
industrial process flow; and
f. Other fees as the city may deem
necessary to carry out the requirements con-
tained herein.
3. All fees or charges will be collected
by direct billing. Unless the director has been
made aware of extenuating circumstances that
would prevent prompt payment, all fees are
(Revised 5/04) 7-56
payable within 30 days of the billing. Fees past
due will be considered a violation of Chapters
7.90 through 7.102 ECC. Users not paying fees
within 60 days of the billing period will be
subject to termination of service. The director
may change existing or adopt new fees.
B. High Strength Waste Surcharge.
1. Monthly Fee for BOD and Suspended
Solids. Rates for strength of industrial waste-
water from high strength users are established
for each pound of BOD and suspended solids
as authorized by ECC 7.91.060.
2. Sampling of Industrial Wastewater.
The samples taken shall be 24-hour composite
samples, obtained through flow -proportioned
composite samples, where feasible. Charges
shall apply as specified in subsection (13)(3) of
this section, as determined on the basis of at
least one 24-hour flow proportioned or timed
sample analysis to be obtained twice per
month and such analyses averaged for each
month; provided, a new average for strength of
industrial wastewater may be computed,
regardless of previous averages, when changes
in preliminary treatment or industrial process
changes have been made which are expected to
significantly change the average strength of
wastes.
3. Surcharge Fee. Users having effluent
concentrations of BOD and/or TSS in excess
of 250 mg/L will be billed a high strength
waste surcharge fee. The surcharge rate is
$0.158736 per pound of BOD or TSS. The
director may establish new rates based upon
the cost of conveyance and treatment in the
POTW.
C. Industrial Flow Surcharge. An industrial
flow surcharge will be billed to significant
industrial users and categorical users (and may
be billed to other users where deemed appro-
priate by the director). This charge is based
upon measured volume of total sewage or
metered water consumption, as determined by
the director. The surcharge rate is $0.19 per
1,000 gallons industrial wastewater flow. The
Edmonds City Code
director may establish new rates based upon
the cost of conveyance and treatment in the
POTW.
D. Billing. Sewer use service charges under
this chapter shall be billed monthly by the city
director of finance. The amount of the charge
will be determined by the director at the end of
each month and will be submitted to the city
director of finance after sufficient time has
been given for laboratory analysis of all sew-
age samples and/or computations. Charges
will be computed and billed based on records
of flow from the previous month and mean
waste strengths as determined in subsections
(B) and (C) of this section. The director may
check sewage strength as outlined in this chap-
ter and adjust charges where applicable at any
time in accordance with all the provisions of
this chapter. [Ord. 3487 § 9, 2004; Ord. 3401
§ 13, 2002].
7.102.020 Severability.
Should any chapter, subchapter, paragraph,
sentence, clause or phrase of Chapters 7.90
through 7.102 ECC or its application to any
person or situation be declared unconstitu-
tional or invalid for any reason, such decision
shall not affect the validity of the remaining
portions of Chapters 7.90 through 7.102 ECC
or its application to any other person or situa-
tion. The city council of the city of Edmonds
hereby declares that it would have adopted
Chapters 7.90 through 7.102 ECC and each
chapter, subchapter, sentence, clause, phrase
or portion thereof irrespective of the fact that
any one or more chapters, subchapters,
clauses, phrases or portions be declared invalid
or unconstitutional. [Ord. 3401 § 13, 2002].
