ATIACHMENT "A"
MITIGATION MONITORING/COMPLIANCE PROGRAM FOR THE SAN
BERNARDINO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT GENERAL PLAN
AMENDMENT AND DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT (GP A 94-05
AND DCA 94-09)
Introduction
This Mitigation Monitoring and Compliance Program has been prepared for use by the City of
San Bernardino as it implements mitigation measures for the San Bernardino International Airport
General Plan Amendment and Development Code Amendment (GPA 94-05 and DCA 94-09).
These mitigation measures were identified as part of an Initial Study prepared on the GP A and
DCA for the City and independently determined by the City to be adequate. This Initial Study
was used by the City to determine that the impacts of implementing the GPA and DCA were
adequately analyzed in the Final EIR for the Inland Valley Redevelopment Project EIR which was
certified in June 1990 (See Section 15168 of the State CEQA Guidelines). The Initial Study
incorporated seven of the mitigation measures that were contained within the Redevelopment
Project EIR.
This Mitigation Monitoring and Compliance Program (MMCP) has been pr~pared in compliance
with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State and City CEQA Guidelines.
CEQA Section 21081.6 requires adoption ofa reporting and/or monitoring program for those
measures or conditions imposed on a project to mitigate or avoid adverse effects on the
environment. The law states that the monitoring or reporting program shall be designed to ensure
compliance during project implementation.
This MMCP contains the following elements:
Applicant's General Responsibilities
1) The applicant/SBIAA is required to comply. with all mitigation measures and complete all
monitoring and reporting requirements;
2) The applicant/SBIAA, as applicable, is responsible for the preparation and submittal of all
reports, studies, and submittal requirements, as note, and all associated fees;
3) The applicant/SBIAA is responsible for obtaining the signature of the designated review
agency or department for each applicable measure; and
4) The applicant/SBIA is responsible for submitting completed compliance records to the
City.
1
RES 96-103
City of San Bernardino General Responsibilities
1) The City is responsible for reviewing and approving reports, studies, plans, etc., as
identified in this MMCP; and
2) The Planning Division is responsible for maintaining the project file and monitoring
requirements as identified in the MMCP.
Organization of the Mitigation Monitoring and Compliance Program
1) The mitigation measures are recorded with the action and procedure necessary to ensure
compliance.
2) A procedure for compliance and verification has been outlined for each mandatory
mitigation action. This procedure designates who will take the action, what action will be
taken and when, and to whom and when compliance will be reported.
3) The Program contains separate Mitigation Monitoring and Compliance Records for each
action. On each of these record sheets, the pertinent actions and dates will be logged, and
copies of permits, correspondence or other data relevant to verifying mitigation
implementation will be attached. Copies of the records will be retained by the City of San
Bernardino as part of its project files.
4) The Program has been designed to be flexible. As monitoring progresses, changes to
compliance procedures may be necessary based upon recommendations by those
responsible for the Program. If changes are made, new monitoring compliance procedures
and records will be developed and incorporated into the Program.
The individual measures and the accompanying monitoring/reporting actions follow. They are
listed in the same sequence as presented in the Project Initial Study, Attachment D.

RES 96-103
Mitie:ation Measures Identified In The Initial Study
GEOLOGY AND SOILS MITIGATION MEASURE
Incorporate the results of site specific geotechnical studies, which address the potential for ground shaking,
liquefaction, and subsidence, into the design, engineering, and seismic retrofitting of all development,
redevelopment of existing structures, and other construction projects planned and funded hy the IVDA.
Design new structures to withstand the site specific seismic accelerations predicted by the geotechnical
investigations to occur as a result of maximum credible seismic events on Imown active faults in the area; these
accelerations may be in excess of those provided for in the Uniform Building Code.
Ensure proper design and engineering, hased on the results of site specific geotechnical studies, which address
the potential for ground shaldng, liquefaction, and subsidence, of all new water and wastewater conveyance
facilities.
Minimize wind erosion, particularly in areas underlain by Tujunga loamy sand, through application of dust
palliatives during grading and other construction or redevelopment activities.
If paleontologic resources are encountered during redevelopment or other construction activities, notify the San
Bernardino County Museum Division of Earth Science, and obtain an assessment by a qualified paleontologist
of the significance and extent of the fossiliferous deposit. In the event that the deposit is determined to be
significant and more extensive, develop and implement a program to identify, recover, curate and report on the
nature and significance of the paleontologic resource.
IMPLEMENTATION AND VERIFICATION
Site specific geotechnical studies for retrofitting existing structures and new structures shall be
submitted to the City of San Bernardino by the applicant for review and approval. For new
structures seismic design shall incorporate engineering requirements to withstand ground shaking
that may be caused by the maximum credible seismic in the region. The City shall retain a copy of
the studies as part of the project file.
Site specific geotechnical studies shall also be prepared by the applicant for new water and
wastewater conveyance facilities. These studies shall address the potential effects of ground
shaking, liquefaction, and subsidence and will be submitted to the City or appropriate water and
wastewater agencies for review. A copy of the studies shall be retained in the project file.
The City shall require application of dust palliatives to control fugitive dust for all ground
disturbing activities that occur at the San Bernardino International Airport. This requirement will
be implemented in all construction contracts awarded by the Authority. A copy of the contract
shall be retained as part of verification and contract inspectors shall verify that dust palliatives are
being utilized as required in the contract by recording this fact in their field notes. A copy of the
notes shall be retained with the project file.
Authority contracts that cause disturbance beneath the existing ground surface shall include a
clause requiring notification of the Museum if paleontological resources are encountered. A copy
3
RES 96-103
of the contract and any notification materials or follow-up work shall be retained with the project
file.
COMPLIANCE RECORD
WHEN REQUIRED: All site specific geotechnical studies shall be submitted and approved prior
to City approval of building permits for an individual project.
Contracts with dust control provisions shall be completed prior to any
ground disturbance, and field inspection notes shall be placed in the project
file following completion of each construction project.
Contracts with paleontological provisions shall be completed prior to any
subsurface ground disturbance activities, and copies of notifications and
reports shall be placed in the project file as generated.

WATER RESOURCES MITIGATION MEASURE
Upgrading of the Zone 2 (north hank) Santa Ana River levees (priority IIn should be supported by the project.
This measure does not directly upply to the GPA and DC4 and therefore, it does not require monitoring.
Support construction of the Seven Oaks Dam, upstream in the Santa Ana Canyon, to reduce flood flows in the
Santa Ana River and allow the channel to safely pass the worst likely flood through the project area. The
IVDA may choose to support only a portion of the local costs associated with this project. The Dam is under
construction and this project does not directly apply to the GPA and DC4 and therefore, it does not require
monitoring.
Several secondary stormwater drainage projects are recommended for implementation in support of the
project. The Lankershim Drain, immediately north ofthe Base, would serve an area that currently suITers
frequent ponding and poor drainage, which would be remedied by this Priority I project. Several additional
flood control projects are proposed for the arca immediately west and southwest of the Base. These include
Timber Creek (priority IIn, Central Avenue (priority Vn and Mill Street (priority VIn. These projects would
directly scnrc IVDA areas, and should be considered for project support. The estimated cost of these four
projects is $6.3 million.
A small portion of the Project Area lies within the 100 year floodplain of the San Timoteo Creek Channel. The
total local share of the cost for upgrading this channel is $16.3 million. This upgrade would be eligible for
IVDA participation. Construction of the upgrades is scheduled to hegin in 1993. This measure does not directly
apply to the GPA and DCA and therefore, it does not require monitoring.
As plans for the reuse of Norton AFB become morc specific, a drainage study should be conducted to assure
that an adequate drainage system is developed. This study should also look at downstream eITects of drainage
from the northern and western portions of the Bllse to assure that such problems arc avoided. The ASL study
reviewed drainage requirements and this measure no longer applies to the GPA and DCA and therefore, it does not
require monitoring.
Stormwater retention basins should be employed where feasible to maximize groundwater infiltration and
reduce the necessary capacities of downstream con\'eyance facilities.
During construction, standard construction measures should be sufficient to prevent excessive erosion and
resulting water quality impacts, Such measures inelude the following:
. Minimize the area of construction disturbance;
Minimize the amount of time that disturbed soil is exposed to erosion, by carefully timing the site
grading to occur immediately before the initiation of construction;
. Keep runotTon site during construction; alternatively, install temporar}' sediment traps in the local
drainages around the project site;
. Schedule construction during the dry season (May through October, wherever possible);
. After project completion, stabilize the soil and revegetate as soon as possible, irrigating as necessary to
establish new vegetative cover.
5
RES 96-103
~~
Additional mitigations include the following:
Implement monthly street sweeping programs for all redevelopment projects supported by the IVDA
to minimize the accumulative of street pollutants and their subsequent flushing to nearby streams
during storms.
. Require regular sweeping ofparldng lots as a requirement for approval of individual projects.
. Industrial and commercial developments should be reviewed by the wastewater treatment department
that would be receiving and treating the wastewater, to assure that toxic materials are removed to
acceptably low concentrations. In this regard, the existing industrial wastewater treatment plant at
Norton AFB may be adapted for continued use, as the Base and surrounding areas undergo
redevelopment.
. Consideration should be given to an IVDA contribution to the completion of the Santa Ana Regional
Interceptor (Reach IV-E) for possihle use by industries in the redevelopment area.
To otTset minor reductions in local groundwater recharge, ",'hich may result from redevelopment, stormwater
retention ponds should be considered for the larger individual projects.
Hazardous materials storage, handling and disposal regulations should continue to be strictly enforced by San
Bernardino County to minimize the possihility of releases into the environment. The SBIA lease with the Air
Force requires strict compliance with all hazardous material handling and disposal regulations, including
adherence to a Spill Prevention Control Countermeasures Plan. Submittal of business plans to the City is
mandatory at this time and therefore, this measure does not require monitoring.
The Installation Restoration Program at Norton AFB should he continued. When ultimately completed, long-
term groundwater cleanup measures should be carried out by the Air Force to assure restoration of high
quality groundwater underlying the Base. Redevelopment plans should be coordinated with the Air Force to
assure that such plans do not interfere with groundwater cleanup measures.
IMPLEMENTATION AND VERIFICATION
Of the four secondary stormwater drain projects, only the Lankershim Drain falls within the
GP AlDCA amendment area As future development occurs within the SBIA and adjacent areas
on Third Street, the need for improvements will be reviewed by and a determination will be made
by the City regarding the necessity of constructing this flood control facility. A copy of the
drainage report if required, will be prepared by the applicant and submitted to the City Public
Works Department. The City's decision regarding construction of this improvement will be
retained in the project file.
The SBIA shall submit an erosion control plan to the City containing appropriate erosion control
actions, including the need for stormwater retention basins, from this measure for review and
approval for all projects disturbing more than five acres at one time. A copy of the approved plan
shall be retained by the City in the project file. During field inspections, inspectors shall verify
that the erosion control plan is being implemented and copies of inspection notes shall be placed
in the project file after construction is completed.
6
RES 96-103
For large projects SBIA will consult with the City regarding the need for stormwater retention
ponds to increase recharge. The results of this consultation will be documented in the project file.
If retention ponds are constructed, a copy of the as built drawings will be retained in the project
file to verify completion.
The IRP program is progressing at the SBITC&A and in compliance with the SBIA Master Lease
with the Air Force, all redevelopment activities are carefully coordinated with the Air Force to
ensure that conflicts do not arise. Copies of redevelopment project submittals to the Air Force
that require review and/or approval will be retained in the SBIA project file along with approvals
by the Air Force.
COMPLIANCE RECORD
WHEN REQUIRED: Iffuture redevelopment would affect the Lankershim Drain, copies of the
drainage report to the City will be submitted before construction is allowed
to proceed. The City's decision regarding the need for this improvement
will also be rendered before construction is allowed to proceed.
The erosion control plan shall be approved prior to initiating ground
disturbance. Inspection notes shall be placed in the project file by the end
of authorized construction activities.
The consultation shall be completed prior to initiating ground disturbance.
The copy of the as built drawings shall be placed in the project file
following final inspection and approval of the ponds.
Redevelopment project submittals and Air Force approvals shall be placed
in the project file prior to commencement of construction.

projects that may affect floodplain and upland alluvial areas, and known or suspected sensitive or important
habitats (e.g., riparian woodland, Riversidian alluvial sage scrub), flora (e.g., Santa Ana River Woolly Star,
Slender-horned Spineflower), or fauna (e.g., greenest tiger beetle, Delhi sands flower loving fly, San Diego
horned lizard).
Whenever feasible, implement alternative scheduling, project designs, andlor establish butTer zones to assure
avoidance of any sensitive biological resources.
Implement restoration and monitoring programs to assure a return to natural conditions after construction
related disturbances.
IMPLEMENTATION AND VERIFICATION
Copies of site specific biological surveys shall be prepared by the SBIAA or applicant and
reviewed by the USFWS and DFG as appropriate. Copies of site specific surveys and
correspondence with the FWS/DFG shall be retained in the project file. Measures to reduce
impacts shall be noted in these surveys and FWS/DFG approvals. Implementation of restoration
and monitoring program measures shall be verified by field inspection and inspection notes shall
be retained in the project file.

AIR QUALITY MITIGATION MEASURE
Prohibit the development ofland uses (e.g., heavy manufacturing) that will contribute significantly to air
quality degradation, unless sufficient mitigation measures are undertaken according to SCAQMD standards.
Require dust abatement measures during grading and construction operations.
Evaluate the air emissions of industrial land uses to ensure that the)' will not impact adjacent uses.
Cooperate with the SCAQMD, and incorporate pertinent local implementation provisions of the Air Quality
Management Plan.
Work with the SCAQMD to establish controls, and monitor uses in the City that could add to the air basin's
degradation (e.g., auto repair, manufacturers).
Work with the other local cities in the South Coast Air Basin to implement regional mechanisms to reduce air
emissions and improve air quality.
Promote a pattern of land uses that locates residential uses in close proximity to employment and commercial
senrices and provides, to the fullest extent possible, loc~lI job opportunities and commercial senrices to minimize
vehicular travel and associated air emissions.
Designate lands for the development of new uses that increase the jobs-housing balance, to the fullest extent
possible.
Disperse urban sen'ice centers (libraries, post offices, social services, etc.) to minimize vehicle miles traveled and
the concomitant dispersion of air pollutants.
Implement the installation of streetscape improvements amI other amenities to encourage pedestrian activity in
key City areas, to reduce vehicle travel and associated air emissions.
Facilitate the development of centralized parking lots and structures in commercial districts to promote
walking between individual businesses in lieu of the use of automobiles.
Establish development standards that concentrate new commercial buildings in proximity to existing
commercial buildings and pedestrian areas in order to facilitate walking and to reduce vehicular trips.
Consider implementing a shuttle system that will connect the Tri-City/Commercenter, Downtown Area, and
Regional Opportunities Corridor.
Require new development to implement or participate in transportation demand management programs that
provide incentives for car pooling, van pools, and the use of public transit, and employ other trip reduction
techniques (consistent with the Circulation Element and South Coast Air Quality Management Plan.
Continue to cooperate with Omnitrans and the Rapid Transit District to expand as necessary the
comprehensive mass transit system for the City to reduce vehicular travel.
Consider developing a program to restrict the use of automobiles during Stage 2 or higher air quality alerts.
Promote the use of public transit and alternative travel modes to reduce air emissions.

CULTURAL RESOURCES MITIGATION MEASURE
As part ofthe environmental Initial Study for each subsequent project, a records check shall be requested from
the Archaeological Information Center, San Bernardino County Museum, Redlands, California.
Should the records check indicate the presence of known archaeological or historical resources, or a moderate
to high sensitivity for such resources being present, a cultural resources field survey of the project area shall be
conducted by a qualified professional. Depending on the types of cultural resources involved, the qualified
professional(s) may be a prehistoric archaeologist, historic archaeologist, historian and/or architectural
historian.
All identified cultural resources within a project area shall be documented on appropriate forms to be filed with
the Archaeological Information Center, and shall be evaluated for significance/importance according to the
criteria in CEQA Appendix K and/or the criteria for eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic
Places, as specified in 36 CFR 60.4.
The results of the cultural resources field survC)' shall be documented in a written report following the
Guidelines for Cultural Resource Management Reports of the Archaeological Information Center, and shall be
filed at that location.
A plan to mitigate impacts to significant/important cultural resources shall be developed and implemented
prior to or in conjunction with project construction. Mitigation may include data recovery (excavation,
analysis, and curation of archaeological resources), archival research and photographic documentation of
historic structures, or avoidance and presenration in place of archaeological or historic resources.
The Native American Heritage Commission and San Manuel Reservation shall be notified in writing of any
proposed evaluation or mitigation excavations that involve Native American archaeological remains, and any
comments or concerns expressed by the Native American communit)' shall be fully considered.
The results of any studies conducted for cultural resources impact mitigation shall be documented in a written
report and filed at the Archaeological Information Center.
All artifacts collected or recovered in cultural resource investigations shall be catalogued and curated with the
San Bernardino County Museum.
Note: The Air Force Final EISfor disposal and reuse determined that no significa11l cultural or historical resources
exist at Norton. This review included consultation with the Museum and the State Historic PreselVation Office. The
only potential cultural resources of concern on the SBITC&A would be subsurface resources that might be exposed
during constnfc/ion.
IMPLEMENTATION AND VERIFICATION
If cultural resources are encountered during subsurface excavations, the procedures outlined
above will be followed by the applicant or the SBlAA. A qualified professional will be contacted,
the Museum will be contacted and a plan will be prepared to treat and/or manage the discovered
resources. Copies of memoranda or reports documenting these actions, including the final
disposition report, will be retained in the project file.

The Norton Air Force Base Reuse Plan shall be evaluated for impacts to the local and regional circulation
system, and measures to mitigate the circulation impacts of Base reuse shall be given priority status among the
projects to be supported by the IVDA.
Alternative techniques are available to shift the vehicular traffic demands to alternative time periods or to
alternative modes of transportation. These elements should be incorporated into a Transportation Systems
Management (TSM) and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan for appropriate IVDA supported
projects. Actions to make better use of the existing networl<, reduce auto usage in congested areas or time
periods, and increase transit ridership through improved service and efficiency include the following programs:
. A program to encourage on-Base or project area employers to provide employees with optional
alternative worl\. schedules, including staggered work hours, tlexible work hours, and 4 day, 40 hour
work-wecl{s to avoid commuting during rush hours.
. A program to encourage employers to enhance utilization of public transit by providing work hours
that meet transit schedules, partial or full reimbursement of tnmsit fares, providing bus shelters,
providing shuttle service to multi-modal transit centers, and distributing information on transit routes
and schedules.
. A program to encourage employers to tal{e steps to increase auto occupancy, such as creation of
carpools and vanpools, providing preferential parking for carpools and van pools, implementation of
matching programs for prospective carpoolers, and levying parldng fees as disincentives to single
occupancy vehicles.
A program to incorporate bicycle incentives into project designs. These may include safe storage
facilities and dedicated lanes or paths.
IMPLEMENTATION AND VERIFICATION
Traffic studies, including Traffic Impact Analyses__ (TIA) in accordance with the regional
Congestion Management Plan (CMP), will be prepared by the SBlAA or applicant and submitted
to the City for review and approval. A copy of the approved study will be retained in the project
file. The programs outlined above will be addressed in the traffic studies or the air quality studies
for uses with more than 100 employees, or with more than 50 vehicle trips within the peak hour.
Measures identified in the traffic studies that are required to implement the above programs or to
reduce significant circulation system impacts will be verified by inspection and placing as built
drawings in the project file.
COMPLIANCE RECORD
WHEN REQUIRED: The traffic studies shall be submitted and approved prior to initiating
construction for a project. As built drawings will be provided to the City
upon completion of the improvement.

PUBLIC SERVICES MITIGATION MEASURE
The City of San Bernardino Fire Department should plan for the orderly transfer of fire protection services at
the Base. New firefighting equipment and necessary modifications to the existing Base fire facility should be
supported by the IVDA. The City Fire Department already provides fire protection services to the CPA and DCA
area under existing agreements, therefore, this measure does not require monitoring.
The City of San Bernardino Police Department should plan for the orderly transfer of public protection services
at the Base. New equipment needs related to this added responsibility should be supported by the IVDA. The
City Police Department already provides law enforcement service to the CPA and DCA area under existing
agreements, therefore, this measure does not require monitoring.
Municipal and regional recreation departments should enter into cooperative agreements to ensure that the
existing recreational facilities located at Norton AFB are available to serve and benefit the area residents. This
should include the use of pools, ballfields, the gymnasium, etc. The City Parks and Recreation Department has
independent control of the recreation facilities, not the SBlAA, therefore, this measure does not require
monitoring.
The existing golf course should be operated and maintained as a golf course for puhlic use. The existing golf
course in operated by the IVDA, not the SHIM, and it is outside of the CPA and DCA area. Therefore, this
measure does not require monitoring.
The IVDA should consider the development of a linear parI< along the Santa Ana River, utilizing Base lands
adjacent to the river, This area is outside of the CPA and DCA urea under IVDA control; therefore, this measure
does not require monitoring.
Water conservation should be required orihe individual redevelopment programs. This should include the
following measures:
. Use oflowtlow (1.5 gallons) toilets;
. Prohibit the hosedown of parking lots and loading areas; vacuum vehicles should be used, instead;
. Minimize the use oflawns in landscaping; encourage the use of drought tolerant plants;
. Use automatic irrigation systems timed to irrigate during the low water use hours: 11:00 p.m. to 5:00
a.m.;
For industries requiring water, recirculation/reuse where feasible to minimize water reuse;
In light of current groundwater contamination problems on the Base (Section 9.2.1), the quality ofthe Base
wells should be closely monitored. Contingency plans for drilling replacement wells in areas unlikely to be
influenced by known groundwater contamination should be developed, in the event one or more of the current
wells develops water quality problems.
The local wastewater utilities should be involved in the siting of new industries within the redevelopment area.
Strong industrial wastewater pretreatment requirements should be developed for each industry to protect the
treatment processes of the municipal wastewater plants.
The Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plant at the Base should be considered for continued use to treat the
wastes of new industries locating at the Base. The SARI line may also prove feasihle for disposing of industrial
discharges, and should be investigated. The treatment plant is being removed by the Air Force as part of the IRP
18
RES 96-103
remediation and is not available/or reuse. The SARI line is not requiredfor any known use that may occur within
the GPAlDCA area. Therefore, this measure does not require monitoring.
The water and sewer lines serving the Base should be evaluated for needed upgrades to sCn'ice the redeveloped
Base. The ASL Report contained an evaluation of water and sewer lines as the exist and as they will be needed in
the future based on forecast development within the GPAlDCA area. New water and sewer lines are being installed
in accordance with this study. Therefore, this measure does not require monitoring.
. A solid waste source reduction and recycling element should be prepared in accordance with AB939,
which will outline specific waste reduction mechanisms to achieve the state mandated solid waste
reduction of 25 percent by the year 1995 and 50 percent solid waste reduction by the year 2000. The
City prepared a Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE) and aU existing and future businesses
at the SBIA must conform with the Plan. Therefore, this measure does not require monitoring.
Trash receptacle guidelines/standards for commercial and residential devclopments should be included
in the project's design guidelines. This could include, but not be limited to trash compactors, source
separation, solid waste reduction and recycling. City design guidelines and the SRRE address the
contents of this measure as noted above. Therefore, this measure does not require monitoring.
. The northeast portion of the Base contains landfill areas known to contain hazardous or toxic wastes.
Mitigation of any potential hazards at this site is being addressed as part of the Base's Installation
Restoration Program (see Section 9), and an EIS being prepared by the Department of Defense on the
Base closure. The Air Force, in cooperation with the State Department of Health and the U. S.
Environmental Protection Agency, plans to clean up the hazardous or toxic waste. These areas must
be cleaned up prior to transfer of the Base to civilian use. The transfer of the Base property has already
been accomplished and the Air Force is in the process of completing the economic and environmental
evaluation of the proposed clean-up and closure of this landfilL Therefore, this measure does not require
monitoring.
IMPLEMENTATION AND VERIFICATION
Reuse and redevelopment projects, whether incorporating new structures, or retrofitting of
existing structures, will submit building plans incorporating water conservation measures that
meet State and local guidelines. The City will verify compliance with these measures when
approving the building plans and will retain a copy of the approved plans in the project file.
Water produced from any wells operated by the City within the GPAlDCA area shall be tested by
the City in accordance with standard water quality test protocols and copies of the water quality
tests shall be retained in the project file. The City has already initiated plans to drill new wells to
back-up and/or replace existing irrigation and municipal water production within the GPAlDCA
area. Approval from the Air Force for authority to drill these wells is being obtained and a copy
of this approval will be retained in the project file.
Any new industry that generates industrial wastewater will be required to confer with the City and
obtain approval for the wastewater pretreatment systems used, if required. A copy of the City
approval and as built-drawings of the pretreatment system shall be retained in the project file.
