7. REPORT ITEMS  
7.1  
REPORT - APPROVAL OF UPDATES TO THE WATER  
DEPARTMENT’S ENFORCEMENT RESPONSE PLAN AND THE  
SIGNIFICANT INDUSTRIAL USER ENFORCEMENT RESPONSE  
POLICY  
BACKGROUND: The EPA Pretreatment Program for Significant  
Industrial Users (SIUs) is administered by the Environmental  
Compliance Section (ECS). Santa Rosa Water has an Enforcement  
Response Plan (ERP) that outlines operational procedures and  
enforcement mechanisms intended to ensure that all discharges to the  
sanitary sewer system are in compliance with Santa Rosa City Code,  
Title 15- Sewers and with the United States Environmental Protection  
Agency (USEPA) Pretreatment Regulations. The ERP was initially  
written in 1993 to comply with US EPA Pretreatment regulations for  
Significant Industrial Users (SIUs) and Categorical Users. The current  
plan revised the 1993 document and was adopted in 2010 and included  
a Significant Industrial User Policy (SIU Policy). Minor EPA audit  
findings required these revisions to the ERP and SIU Policy.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Water Department that  
the Board of Public Utilities, by motion, approve updates to the Water  
Department’s Enforcement Response Plan and the Significant Industrial  
User Enforcement Response Policy.
