Body

Request For Board Action:
Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve the Wastewater Pretreatment Program Interlocal Agreement with the City of Durham. On November 19, 2018, the City Council ratified by resolution the subject interlocal agreement. The previous interlocal agreement expired January 13, 2019. A copy of the interlocal agreement is attached.
As these dischargers are City customers, the County does not have the authority to issue permits or require compliance with our Sewer Use Ordinance to protect our collection system, treatment plant, and staff. This agreement provides that City staff are the main interface for these City customers to the County facilities. Additionally, this agreement meets North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality requirements by clearly identifying and delineating pretreatment program responsibilities for this service area. The City modified their Sewer Use Ordinance in 2014 to include that these customers are subject to both the City and County Sewer Use Ordinances.
Amendments to the County Sewer Use Ordinance is not necessary to implement the interlocal agreement. The only changes made from the last approved interlocal agreement is dates, name changes, and title changes. This interlocal agreement does not contain any monetary requirements.
Alignment With Strategic Plan: Protect and steward natural resources through comprehensive compliance and educational programs. Water Quality - Maintain, protect and improve water quality.
Resource Persons: Peri Manns, Interim General Manager; Stephanie Brixey, Deputy Director of E&ES; Amy Moore, Compliance Manager.
County Manager's Recommendation: The County Manager recommends that the Board approve the Wastewater Pretreatment Program Interlocal Agreement with the City of Durham.
