Industrial Pretreatment Program. Minor industrial users and significant industrial users shall pay an annual fee as established in Section Four herein.
Industrial Pretreatment Program. Under the Lease, LCA is responsible to administer the Industrial Pretreatment Program (IPP) in accordance with federal regulations, guidance from EPA, and the City Sewer Ordinance. Forty-one industries were permitted to discharge to the system-wide collection system in 2020. Thirty-eight industrial inspections were conducted by LCA in 2020 and 35 discharges were sampled by LCA. The sampling conducted by LCA is in addition to the sampling and testing that each of the permitted industries is required to perform as a condition of the industry’s discharge permit. Six Notices of Violation (NOV) and two Significant Non-Noncompliant violations were issued to industries in 2020. The City assists LCA on selected reviews of the industrial permits and permit violations. LCA is also required to prepare and submit an annual IPP report to EPA. • SEWAGE COLLECTION SYSTEM Allentown’s sewage collection system consists of approximately 285 miles of pipe, about 80% of which is eight to ten inches in diameter. There are approximately 7,100 manholes. Similar to the drinking water system, most of the collection system was installed prior to 1970: Time Frame Percent Installed 1910-1930 21% 1930-1950 34% 1950-1970 36% 1910-1970 91% The collection system is maintained by a variety of systematic programs. These programs assist in the prevention of surcharges and sanitary system overflows (SSO) by eliminating blockages and minimizing extraneous flows. Inflow and infiltration (I&I) from significant precipitation, snowmelt, and elevated ground water levels contribute to extraneous flows. City sewage is conveyed by gravity to the KIWWTP. Velocities within most of the gravity collection system are slow for a significant amount of the time and result in the settling of materials. This settling causes blockages. The problem is compounded by customers improperly disposing of materials, principally fats, oils, and grease (FOG), which congeal and promote blockages. Tree roots are also responsible for blockages. SSOs, which are caused by blockages typically, occur within smaller diameter pipes. In order to address maintenance of the collection system for the issues noted, in compliance with the Lease, LCA developed a Collection System Inspection and Maintenance Plan (CSIMP) to provide a systematic approach for inspecting, televising, cleaning, and flushing the collection system. The CSIMP includes daily, weekly, and monthly preventative maintenance to flush and jet areas where blockages are k...
