Common use of Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Facility Siting and Impacts Clause in Contracts

Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Facility Siting and Impacts. Siting of new wastewater treatment and reclamation facilities will be guided by the City of Madras Wastewater Master Plan which considers future growth and development, zoning requirements, need for buffer zone separation for visual disturbance, noise, odor control, traffic, impact on human, archeological and natural resources, and flood potential. The siting process shall provide for future expansion of facilities to meet the demands of water quality regulations and planned development. The siting process shall include adequate public participation to provide for successful siting and initiation of a positive, long-term, good neighbor relationship with affected citizens. The City requires development of a regional wastewater collection and treatment system and therefore does not allow siting of on-site or package plant wastewater treatment systems to serve individual developments or economic development projects. If improvements of the City’s existing treatment and reclamation facility are required to meet the growth demand, the City will have the design completed by the City’s selected consultant and the developer shall be responsible for the associated engineering and improvement costs. Industries with potential to generate high strength wastes with loading in excess of available treatment capacity, will be required to obtain an Industrial Wastewater Contribution Permit and to provide pretreatment before discharging to the public sanitary system. The City will require industries generating high strength wastes to build, own and operate pretreatment facilities. These facilities may serve one or more industrial sewer users in planned industrial developments. Costs of design, construction, operation and maintenance of pretreatment facilities shall be borne by users proportionally to flow and load. Reference the City Wastewater Ordinance for permit requirements and additional information.
