Background:
Chapter 34 of the City's Code of Ordinances addresses illicit discharge detection and elimination as required by City’s State Operating Permit. The ordinance currently includes chlorine concentrations for private pool discharges and a range of pH discharge values that do not comply with the current State of Missouri’s Effluent Regulations and Water Quality Standards found in 10 CSR 20-7.015 and 7.031. Therefore, Chapter 34 has been revised to correct those values.
Other revisions to Chapter 34 include correcting the title of the Director of Development Services and revising the language to clarify the requirements of the illicit discharge detection and elimination portion of the City’s State Operating Permit.
