§ 37-704. Administration.

(a)

Except as otherwise provided herein, the director of utilities or the director's designee shall administer, implement and enforce the provisions of this article. Any powers granted to or duties imposed upon the director may be delegated by the director to other county personnel.

(b)

Notwithstanding any provisions or sections of this article to the contrary, the county reserves the absolute right, to deny or condition new or increased contributions of pollutants, or changes in the nature of pollutants, to the county wastewater system by industrial users where such contributions do not meet applicable pretreatment standards and requirements or where such contributions would cause the county wastewater system to violate any state, FDEP, NPDES or federal permits or diminish the county's ability to reclaim and reuse the discharge from the county's treatment facilities.

(c)

No statement in this article shall be construed as preventing any special agreement or arrangement between the county and any industrial concern whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength or character may be accepted by the county for treatment, subject to prior approval by the county and special payment therefore, by the industrial concern; provided, however, that at no time will the county be asked to accept or must the county accept such discharges that, in the director's or county's sole judgment would violate any federal, state or local pretreatment standards.
