Background:
City of Broken Arrow pretreatment staff prepared a quarterly report to the Regional Metropolitan Utility Authority (RMUA) outlining pretreatment activities for significant industrial users, commercial users, and food handling establishments discharging wastewater to the Haikey Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. The activities listed are for the 3-month period of February to April 2019. The report is attached.
The following is a summary of the report:
All mandatory industrial user monitoring reports were received by the due dates, with no deficiencies. Surcharges for bio-chemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS), and oil & grease above residential thresholds were issued to Unifirst each month for a total of $5,246.53.
Broken Arrow pretreatment staff performed 229 routine food handling establishments (FHE) inspections during this three-month timeframe. Manifests were checked for grease interceptor (GI) maintenance, GI were inspected, and best management practices were discussed with management. There were 49 FHEs with improperly-maintained interceptors that were asked to perform maintenance immediately. In addition to the routine inspections, there were 41 re-checks done for non-compliance issues.
Pretreatment staff performed 5 routine auto shop inspections. Oil/water separators were inspected for proper maintenance and waste hauling manifests were checked to ensure proper waste disposal. In addition to the routine inspections there were 5 re-checks done for non-compliance issues.
The Municipal Pretreatment Coordinator with DEQ, performed the Annual Pretreatment Compliance Inspection for Regional Metropolitan Utility Authority at the Broken Arrow Pretreatment Office. There were no findings of required actions or violations identified during the inspection. RMUA was commended for a well-operated and executed Industrial Pretreatment Program with proactive measures and scope including pollution prevention and education.
Pretreatment staff attended the Broken Arrow Homeowner’s Association Workshop to speak with residents and provide information about water conservation and water quality. Pretreatment staff also hosted a water conservation/water quality booth at the Rose District Farmer’s Market each Saturday in April to promote pollution prevention. A rain barrel was given away each week to encourage water-wise irrigation and Broken Arrow residents were asked to take the Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation. Broken Arrow came in 12th place in the challenge, which was a friendly contest against cities from across the nation.
This concludes the summary. Staff recommends that the Authority acknowledge the February to April 2019 Pretreatment Report to RMUA.
