Explanation
The ordinance revision is required by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) due to changes in 40 CFR 403 made by EPA at the federal level and subsequent changes made in FAC 62-625 by FDEP. FDEP referred GRU to the latest version of the EPA Model Pretreatment Ordinance and to FAC 62-625 to make changes to Sec 27-96 (Definitions) and Sec 27-180.
Changes to Sec 27-96 (Definitions) are required to support revisions being made to Sec 27-180.
Drafts of both revised Sections 27-96 and 27-180 were submitted and approved by FDEP in April 2012.
Recommendation
The City Commission adopt the proposed ordinance.
