has violated or is violating any provision of these Rules and Regulations, or any directives,
orders, or permits issued or approved hereunder,the District may serve upon such User a written
order stating the nature of the violations(s), and requiring that the User correct the violation(s)
within a specified period of time; perform such tasks as the District determines are necessary for
the User to correct the violations; or perform such tasks and submit such information as is
necessary for the District to evaluate the extent of noncompliance or to determine appropriate
enforcement actions to be taken.
8.28.3 Compliance Orders; Compliance Schedules: Whenever the District
determines that any User has violated or is violating any provision of these Rules and
Regulations, or any directives, orders or permits issued or approved hereunder,the District may
serve upon the User a written order requiring that the User submit, within a time frame as
specified in the notification, a plan (compliance schedule) for the satisfactory correction of such
violation(s).
The compliance schedule must represent the shortest schedule by which the User
will provide additional treatment or perform such other tasks as will enable the User to
consistently comply with applicable requirements. The schedule shall contain increments of
progress in the form of dates for the commencement and completion of major events leading to
compliance(e.g., Hiring an engineer, completing preliminary plans for pretreatment systems,
(00096389.DOC v.1) 38
completing final plans, executing contracts for major components, commencing construction,
completing construction). In no case shall an increment of progress exceed nine (9)months.
Upon approval by the District,the compliance schedule will be issued to the User
as an administrative order which contains the approved schedule milestones and any applicable
reporting requirements. Issuance of a compliance schedule by the District does not release the
User of liability for any violations.
Not later than fourteen(14) days following each date in the schedule and the final
date for compliance, the User shall submit a progress report to the District including, at a
minimum, information on whether or not the User complied with the increment of progress to be
met on such date and, if not, the date on which it expects to comply with this increment of
progress,the reason(s) for delay, and the steps being taken by the User to return to the schedule
established.
8.28.4 Suspension of Service: The District may suspend the wastewater
treatment service when such suspension is necessary, in the opinion of the District, in order to

endangerment to the health or welfare of persons, to the environment, causes pass through or
interference or causes the District to violate any condition of its NPDES Permit.
Any User notified of a suspension of the wastewater treatment service shall
immediately stop or eliminate the discharge. In the event of a failure of the User to comply
voluntarily with the suspension order,the District shall take such steps as deemed necessary,
including immediate severance of the sewer connection,to prevent or minimize damage to the
POTW System or endangerment to any individuals or the environment. The District shall
reinstate the wastewater treatment service upon proof of the elimination of the non-complying
discharge. A detailed written statement submitted by the User describing the causes of the
harmful contribution and the measures taken to prevent any future occurrence shall be submitted
to the District within fifteen(15)days of the date of occurrence.
8.28.5 Permit Revocation: [Reserved]
8.28.6 Penalties: Any User who is found to have violated any provision of these
Rules and Regulations, or any orders or permits issued or approved hereunder, shall be subject to
a penalty not to exceed, except as noted below,ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for such violation.
Each day on which a violation occurs or continues shall be deemed a separate and distinct
violation. In the case of violations of monthly or other long-term average discharge limitations,
penalties may be assessed for each day in the period covered by the violations.
In addition to the penalties provided herein,the District may recover reasonable
attorney's fees, court costs, court reporter's fees, and other expenses of litigation by appropriate
suit at law against the User found to have violated these Rules and Regulations, or the order or
permits issued hereunder. Such penalties shall be in addition to any actual damages the District
may incur because of such violations.
Where a violation is found to have caused Interference or Upset, the maximum
penalty of$10,000 per violation as described above may be increased as necessary to allow the
(00096389.DOC v1) 39
District to recover any fines or penalties paid by the District for NPDES Permit violations due to
the Interference or Upset.

GREASE INTERCEPTORS/TRAPS
APPLICATION
This Pretreatment Discharge Standard (PDS) for Food Service Operations defines the local
limits, grease interceptor design requirements, and management practices for such facilities.
Food service operations subject to this standard include, but are not limited to restaurants,
commercial kitchens, cafeterias, food processors, grocery store deli and dairies, schools, fraternal
organizations, churches, hospitals, daycare centers, or any other facilities which have the capability
to engage in food preparation which are also discharging into a sewer connected to a wastewater
treatment facility.
This PDS applies to food service operations that:
1. utilize kitchen equipment that discharges oil and grease; or
2. discharge non-domestic waste exceeding the following local limits; or
3. are qualified by the Engineer of the Resource Colorado Water & Sanitation
Metropolitan District("District")to fall under this category.
LOCAL LIMITS
Food Service Operations (hereafter known as customers) shall not discharge waste which at the
point of discharge into a sewer contains:
1. oil and grease in a concentration that is in excess of 75 milligrams per liter as
analyzed in a grab or continuous sample;
2. suspended solids in a concentration that is in excess of 350 milligrams per liter as
analyzed in a grab or continuous sample;
3. 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) in a concentration that is in excess of
350 milligrams per liter in a grab or continuous sample;

Exhibit E
Standards for Cross-Connection Control
and Backflow Control Policy and Regulations
1. Definitions: When not clearly otherwise indicated by the context, the following
words and phrases in this Article have the following meanings.
a. Approved: Accepted by the public works department as meeting the
applicable specification stated or cited in this article, or as suitable for the proposed use.
b. Auxiliary water supply: Any water supply on or available to the premises
other than the District approved public potable water supply. These auxiliary waters may include
water from another purveyor's public potable water supply or any natural source such as a well,
spring,river, stream,pond, lake, etc., or"used waters"or"industrial fluids." These waters may
be polluted or contaminated or may be objectionable and constitute an unacceptable water source
over which the District does not have sanitary control.
c. Backflow: The undesirable reversal of the direction of flow of the water
or mixtures of water and other liquid, gases, or other substances into the distribution pipes of the
potable water supply from any source or sources caused by backpressure and/or back-siphonage.
d. Back-pressure: The backflow of water or other contaminated fluids
caused by a pump, elevated tank, boiler or other means that could create pressure within the
Customer's or Service Provider's system greater than the District supply pressure.
e. Backflow prevention device: Any device,method, or type of construction
designed to prevent backflow or back-siphonage into the public water supply by isolating the
Customer's or Service Provider's water system from the public water system.
f. Air-gap: The unobstructed vertical distance through the free atmosphere
between the lowest opening from any pipe or faucet supplying water to a tank,plumbing fixture,
or other device and the flood level rim of said vessel. An approved air-gap will be at least double
the diameter of the supply pipe, measured vertically, above the top of the rim of the vessel; and,
in no case less than one inch. When an air-gap is used at the service connection to prevent the
contamination or pollution of the public potable water system, an emergency bypass shall be
installed around the air-gap system and an approved reduced pressure principle device will be
installed in the bypass system.
g. Double check valve assembly: An assembly of two independently
operating approved check valves with tightly closing shut-off valves on each side of the check
valves,plus properly located test cocks for the testing of each check valve. The entire assembly
shall meet the design and performance specifications and approval of a recognized and District-
approved testing establishment for backflow prevention devices. To be approved,these devices
must be readily accessible for in-line testing and maintenance.
h. Reduced pressure principle device: An assembly of two independently
operating approved check valves with an automatically operating differential relief valve
{00096389.DOC v:1} E-1
between the two check valves,tightly closing shut-off valves on either side of the check valves,
plus properly located test cocks, for the testing of the check and relief valves. The entire
assembly will meet the design and performance specifications and approval of a recognized and
District-approved testing laboratory for backflow prevention assemblies. The device will operate
to maintain the pressure in the zone between the two check valves at a level less than the
pressure on the public water supply side of the device. At cessation of normal flow, the pressure
between the two check valves will be less than the pressure on the public water supply of the
device. In case of leakage of either of the check valves, the differential relief valve will operate
to maintain the reduced pressure in the zone between the check valves by discharging to the
atmosphere. When the inlet pressure is two pounds per square inch or less,the relief valve will
open to the atmosphere. To be approved,these devices must be readily accessible for in-line
testing and maintenance, and be installed in a location where no part of the device will be
submerged.
i. Back-siphonage: The backflow of water or other liquids, mixtures or
substances into the distribution pipes of a potable water supply system from any source other
than its intended source caused by the sudden reduction of pressure in the potable water supply
system.
j. Certified inspector and tester: Any person who has passed a state
approved or sponsored testing and inspection course, and who is listed by the state as a certified
inspector/tester.
k. Check valve: A self-closing device which is designed to permit the flow
of fluids in one direction and to close if there is a reversal of flow.
1. Colorado Department of Health Cross Connection Control Manual: A
manual published by the state addressing cross connection control practices, which will be used
as a guidance document for the city in implementing a cross connection control program.
m. Compliance period: The time between the receipt by the Customer of a
notice from the District or designee thereof to install, test, or repair a backflow prevention
assembly and the day upon which such installation, testing, or repair shall be completed or ready
for inspection by the District or a designee thereof.
n. Contamination: Any impairment of the quality of the potable water by
pollution from sewage, industrial fluids or waste liquids, compounds or other materials to a
degree which creates an actual hazard to the public health through poisoning or through the
spread of disease.
o. Critical level: The critical level C-L or C/L marking on a backflow
prevention device or vacuum breaker which is a point conforming to approved standards and
established by the testing laboratory(usually stamped on the device by the manufacturer), which
determines the minimum elevation above the flood-level rim of the fixture or receptacle served at
which the device may be installed. When a backflow prevention device does not bear a critical
level marking, the bottom of the vacuum breaker, combination valve, or the bottom of any such
approved device shall constitute the critical level.
{00096389.DOC v:1} B-2
p. Cross connection: Any physical arrangement whereby a public water
supply is connected, directly or indirectly, with any other water supply system, sewer, drain,
conduit,pool, storage reservoir,plumbing fixture, or other device which contains, or may
contain, contaminated water, sewage, or other waste or liquid of unknown or unsafe quality
which may be capable of imparting contamination to the public water supply as a result of
backflow. Bypass arrangements,jumper connections, removable sections, swivel or changeover
devices, and other temporary or permanent devices through which, or because of which,
backflow could occur are considered to be cross connections.
q. Cross connections, controlled: A connection between a potable water
system and a nonpotable water system with an approved backflow prevention device properly
installed that will continuously afford the protection commensurate with the degree of hazard.
r. Flood-level rim: The edge of the receptacle from which water overflows.
s. Hazard, degree of: The term derived from an evaluation of the potential
risk to public health and the adverse effect of the hazard upon the public potable water system.
t. Hazard, health: Any condition, device, or practice in the water supply
system and its operation which could create, or in the judgment of the District, may create a
danger to the health and the well being of the water consumer. An example of a health hazard is
a structural defect, including cross connections, in a water supply system.
u. Hazard,plumbing: A plumbing type cross connection in a consumer's
potable water system that has not been properly protected by a vacuum breaker, air-gap
separation or backflow prevention device. Unprotected plumbing type cross connections are
considered to be a health hazard.
v. Hazard, pollutional: An actual or potential threat to the physical
properties of the water system or to the potability of the public or the consumer's potable water
system which would constitute a nuisance or be aesthetically objectionable or could cause
damage to the system or its appurtenances,but would not be dangerous to health.
w. Hazard, system: An actual or potential threat of severe damage to the
physical properties of the public potable water system or the consumer's potable water system or
of a pollution or contamination which would have a protracted effect on the quality of the
potable water in the system.
