SUMMARY
SECTION 1
1.1
SUMMARY
The National Pretreatment Program
The National Pretreatment Program was established by Section 307 of the Clean Water
Act (CWA) in 1973. It is a core part of the Clean Water Act's National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The primary goal of the National Pretreatment
Program is to protect publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) and the environment
from the adverse impact that may occur when toxic, hazardous, and concentrated
conventional wastes are discharged into sewer systems from industrial and commercial
sources.
"Pretreatment" refers to the alteration, reduction, or elimination of pollutants by industrial
users prior to or in lieu of discharge to the POTW. Pretreatment minimizes the
likelihood of treatment plant upsets and reduces the level of toxic pollutants in
wastewater discharges from the POTW and in the sludge resulting from municipal
wastewater treatment. Pretreatment program requirements are imposed upon publicly
owned treatment works (POTWs) as a condition of their NPDES permit(s).
NPDES permits issued to POTWs protect receiving waters, land application sites for the
beneficial reuse of treated sewage biosolids, and worker safety, as well as optimize
opportunities for resource recovery. To comply with NPDES permit requirements and
meet other environmental criteria, a POTW must limit the pollutants it receives that are
not amenable to treatment at its own facilities.
The City of Boise owns and operates the West Boise and the Lander Street wastewater
treatment plants, each regulated under a separate NPDES permit. Both NPDES
permits were issued with an effective date of August 1, 2012. The City of Boise was
granted approval by EPA (Figure 1-1) to implement its Pretreatment Program in 1985.
The prevention of interference, the prevention of pass-through, and the improvement of
opportunities to recycle wastewater and biosolids are the three primary objectives of the
Boise City Pretreatment Program.
1.2
Local Program Performance
Boise City adopted a new Pretreatment Ordinance in July, 2014 to reflect changes to
the system and to codify a Local Limit for Total Mercury, which subsequently received
formal approval from EPA on August 14, 2014. The approval letter from Michael
Lidgard, EPA/NPDES Permit Unit is attached (Figure 1-2).
1-1
During the 2015 reporting year, the West Boise wastewater treatment facility (WWTF)
experienced a daily (11/26/2014) permit exceedance for mercury, which resulted in an
exceedance of the monthly average permit limit for November. This exceedance was
not found to be directly or indirectly attributable to an industrial user, but likely stemmed
from cleaning operations within the plant itself. In response to this exceedance, the City
is reevaluating procedures for cleaning influent screen channels and other areas within
the plant, which might accumulate mercury that could be re-suspended. Boise City
Pretreatment has begun inspections in support of the dental Best Management
Practices (BMPs), which were modified in 2014 to make amalgam separators
mandatory. Also, the mercury Local Limit approved in 2014 has been implemented
system-wide. Mercury discharges to the Boise River from both WWTFs have continued
a slight downward trend over the reporting year. These results are shown in Figure 1-3:
Lander Street Effluent Mercury and Figure 1-4: West Boise Effluent Mercury, below.

The notice that an industrial user (JU) met the criteria for significant noncompliance
(SNC) during the 2014 reporting period was published in the Idaho Statesman on
November 3, 2014. Figure 1-5 is the Legal Proof of Publication from the Idaho
Statesman.
At the close of the 2014 reporting period nineteen (19) Significant Industrial Users
(SIUs) are being regulated under indirect discharge permits. Fourteen (14) SIUs are
located in Boise City, three (3) SIUs in Garden City, and one SIU (1) in the West Boise
Sewer District.
No SIUs are currently identified within the jurisdictional boundaries of the Eagle Sewer
District or Bench Sewer District.
Table 1-1 lists those SIUs, as defined by 40CFR§403.3(v), subject to program oversight
during the 2015 reporting period. A brief narrative on each SIU is presented in Section
3.1.
During the 2015 reporting period, 1,309 site inspection and pollution prevention
outreach visits were conducted at minor industrial user (MIU) facilities. MIU facilities,
while typically not subject to permitting, are required to comply with the discharge
prohibitions, including BMPs, as outlined in the City's pretreatment regulations
contained in Title 8, Chapter 14 of the Boise City Code, Title 6, Chapter 6 of Garden
City Code or the discharge control resolutions of contributing sewer district jurisdictions.
Routine inspection of MlUs is a core component of the City's Pretreatment Program and
fulfills the NPDES permit requirement to maintain an up to date inventory of industrial
users subject to pretreatment standards. Additionally, this program component provides
the opportunity to evaluate stormwater management facilities at the site and educate
business owners or managers on appropriate stormwater BMPs.
A major component of the MIU inspection program is the Fats, Oils, & Grease (FOG)
program. This entails inspecting each of the 719 Food Service Establishments (FSEs)
in Boise, Garden City, and Eagle at least annually. These inspections focus on verifying
that the FSE is appropriately implementing the FOG BMPs, including routine
maintenance of grease abatement equipment. This reduces sanitary sewer overflows
(SSOs) in the collection system. No SSOs occurred in the 2015 reporting period that
can be attributed to the discharge of FOG from an FSE.
1.3
Contributing Jurisdictions
Boise City pretreatment staff provides oversight and technical assistance to contributing
jurisdictions, Garden City, and Eagle and West Boise Sewer Districts, with their
respective pretreatment program implementation efforts. Routine interaction with
representatives of each jurisdiction helps ensure complete and consistent program
implementation throughout the Boise Metropolitan Sewer System.
1-3
All jurisdictions that contribute wastewater to the local POTW are implementing
appropriate pretreatment ordinances or resolutions.
All contributing jurisdictions
adopted revised ordinances or resolutions in 2014 to reflect Local Limits changes to
BCC 8-14. Approved program authority is secured through lnterjurisdictional
agreements between the City of Boise and all contributing jurisdictions. Eagle Sewer
District and West Boise Sewer District continue to have Boise City pretreatment staff
directly implement their pretreatment programs. Garden City continued to implement its
own program during the 2015 period and have reported program activities to Boise City.
Program activities for Garden City are included in the summaries of this report.
1.4
Pretreatment Program Resources
The pretreatment program is one of a number of programs in the City's Environmental
Division. Program implementation is supported by Public Works Administration,
Operations, Utility Maintenance, the City's Water Quality Lab, and Engineering
Divisions, as well as the City's Legal Department. Figure 1-6 presents the Boise City
Environmental Division's current organization. Garden City directed their own
organizational resources to support the local pretreatment program during this reporting
year.
Five (5) full time equivalent (FTE) personnel are dedicated by Boise City to pretreatment
program implementation. One (1) FTE was dedicated by Garden City for a total of six
(6) FTE committed to the local pretreatment program effort.

Re: Pretreatment Program Modification
Dear Mr. Oldermeyer:
On July.29, 2014, the City of Boise submitted for the Environmental Protection Agency's
approval a modification to the City's approved pretreatment program. The City Council
approved Ordinance 25-14 on July 8, 2014, that revised the Pretreatment Ordinance - Title 8,
Chapter 14. The modification to the pretreatment program includes minor changes to the City's
sewer use ordinance (SUO) and the pretreatment program implementation manual. The most
notable change to the approved pretreatment program is the adoption of a local limit (0.0007
mg/1) for mercury (Hg).
We have reviewed the City's submission and find that the package is complete and approvable.
The C1ty's modification to its pretreatment ordinance and ·implementation manual demonstrates
the City's commitment to make improvements to its approved pretreatment program in order to
and continue protection of human health and the environment. Under the pretreatment
regulations at 40 CFR 403 .18(d), this modification is considered a non-substantial modification.
In accordance with those regulations, the EPA Region 10 is approving the City's non-substantial
modification by means of this letter.
Thank you, and your staff, for submitting a comprehensive non-substantial modification package
to the EPA. We appreciate Walter Baumgartner's and Terry Alber's efforts in working with the
Region 10 Pretreatment Coordinator to put together an approvable package to the EPA. If you
have ·any questions regarding this letter, please contact Michael Le, of my staff, at
[email protected] or (206) 553-1099.

SECTION 2
TREATMENT FACILITY MONITORING
The City of Boise provides wastewater treatment services to residential, commercial, and
industrial customers located within the local Metropolitan Sewer Service Area. To provide
treatment services, the City operates the West Boise and Lander Street Wastewater
Treatment Facilities (WWTF). Boise's WWTFs are treating an annual average combined
influent wastewater flows of approximately 27.2 million gallons per day. Treated effluent
from the West Boise and Lander Street facilities is discharged to the Boise River.
The EPA has issued National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits for
both West Boise and Lander Street treatment facilities. The permits require the City to
monitor various conventional and toxic pollutants. This section provides a summary of the
toxic pollutant testing information obtained from monitoring both treatment facilities for the
2015 reporting period.
2.1 Laboratory Services
Pretreatment sampling, as set forth in the West Boise (Section I.H.8) and Lander Street
(Section 11.A.8) WWTF NPDES permits, was conducted during the reporting period. The
City's Water Quality Laboratory located at 11818 Joplin Road, under the direction of Janet
Finegan-Kelly, (208) 608-7263, conducted the permit required analyses.
2.2 Metals and Cyanide
The West Boise and Lander Street WWTF NPDES permits require monitoring of influent,
effluent, and final sludge twice each Pretreatment year, in October and April. Influent and
effluent are monitored for arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, cyanide, lead, mercury,
molybdenum, nickel, selenium, silver, and zinc. Final sludge is monitored for arsenic,
cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, zinc, and percent solids.
Results of metals and cyanide monitoring are presented in the following tables along with
calculated removal rates. For statistical purposes and in accordance with the March 1996
EPA Region 10 Guidance for WQBELs Below Analytical Detection/Quantification, influent
and effluent concentrations reported below detection were assumed to be equal to zero. In
these situations, removal rates are unable to be calculated. Separate tables are provided
for sludge analyses.

3.1.1 SIU IDP Administration
All IDPs are reviewed as a part of an annual compliance inspection. Reviews consist of
evaluations for Significant Noncompliance (SNC), review of Accidental Spill Prevention
Plans (ASPP), Toxic Organic Management Plans (TOMP) and of Pollution Prevention
and Best Management Practice (BMP) goals. Summaries are noted in IU files, and
based on the reviews, permit modifications may be required, inspection and monitoring
schedules adjusted, and/or the IU database may be updated.
New users identified through inspection, business directory and phone book searches,
surveys, conditional use applications, and building plan reviews, that are potential SIUs,
are required to submit Pretreatment Data Disclosure Forms (DDFs). DDFs are reviewed
and inspections conducted to determine whether an industry requires a discharge
permit.
3.1.2 SIU Inspections and Compliance Monitoring
Pretreatment inspections and unannounced compliance sampling serve to assist with
evaluating SIU compliance with program requirements, industrial wastewater discharge
permits, and federal and local discharge limitations. During SIU inspections,
pretreatment inspectors identify changes in facility processes or discharges, investigate
complaints or instances of noncompliance, and determine necessary follow-up actions.
Inspections conducted by pretreatment staff are classified as announced or
unannounced.
SIUs are provided advance notification prior to routine inspections. No notice is served
prior to unannounced inspections. Unannounced inspections aid in disclosing cases of
noncompliance that may otherwise be hidden during an announced inspection.
Unannounced inspections may also be classified as demand inspections. Demand
inspections are usually conducted in response to a complaint or emergency situation or
when an SIU cannot maintain consistent compliance.
Table 1-1 presents the announced and unannounced SIU inspections and monitoring
conducted during the reporting period. Compliance monitoring activities were generally
conducted separately from the actual facility inspections. Staff began scheduling SIU
activities for the 2015 reporting year in September 2014. Most SIU facilities will have
either one announced or one unannounced inspection per year. Wastewater monitoring
events are typically unannounced.
3-5
3.1.3 SIU Enforcement Activity
Pretreatment staff utilizes the City's, EPA approved, Industrial Pretreatment Program
Enforcement Response Plan (Oct 2006) to assist with evaluating IU noncompliance,
including SNC, and to determine appropriate responses to specific violations of the
pretreatment regulations. Generally, issues of concern regarding pretreatment
requirements or rules, at the IU level, are identified and resolved informally through
inspections, meetings, and information exchange. However, for more serious instances
of noncompliance or recurring violations, a more aggressive enforcement response may
be necessary. Depending upon the circumstances, more formal escalated enforcement
options that range from issuance of a Notice of Violation (NOV) to termination of sewer
service are available in order to resolve IU noncompliance.
Five SIU violations and enforcement responses occurred during the 2015 reporting
period and are described in more detail below. Boise Pretreatment enforcement actions
involved B and D Foods, Meadow Gold Dairies, Performance Design, and Quality
Thermistor. Four enforcement actions were taken by Garden City against Anodizers.
B and D Foods B and D Foods was non-compliant twice during the 2015 reporting
period. The first Notice of Violation was issued March 31, 2015. Several issues were
addressed with the NOV, including: Failure to Self-Monitor (four weekly pH samples
were not collected); Exceeding the Daily Maximum effluent limitation for Oil & Grease;
Exceeding the Monthly Average Loading for O&G, Failure to Resample within five days;
and Failure to Notify. In response to the NOV, B and D Foods developed written
procedures for weekly pH monitoring, monthly O & G sampling, and notification for limit
exceedances. The second Notice of Violation was issued on September 30, 2015, for
Exceeding the Daily Maximum and the Monthly Average Loading effluent limitations for
O & G. B and D Foods is in the middle of a monitoring plan to accurately characterize
their flow and determine whether their current pretreatment is adequate. They will then
provide the City with a plan to modify or supplement their pretreatment.
Meadow Gold Dairies Meadow Gold Dairies received a Notice of Violation for
Exceeding the Daily Maximum and the Monthly Average effluent limitation for mercury
in February, 2015. In response to the NOV, Meadow Gold completed a Mercury
Incident Report and a detailed mercury audit of their facility, and provided a Mercury
Reduction Plan to the City.
Performance Design Performance Design was non-compliant as of January 8, 2015,
when they notified the City that they had Failed to Self-Monitor in December, 2014.
They had no excuse, but simply forgot to collect a sample. Per the Enforcement
Response Plan, a phone call was placed to correct this deficiency.
Quality Thermistor, Inc. (QTI) QTI was non-compliant as of May 5, 2015, when it was
discovered through review of their Semiannual Compliance Report that they had used
Improper Analytical Procedures by violating the hold time on mercury samples and not
providing Chain of Custody documentation in the SCR. .Per the Enforcement Response
Plan, a phone call was placed to correct this deficiency.

• Anodizers, Inc. Building #2's SACR for December 2014 - May 2015 had
incomplete relinquish records on a chain of custody record. A Notice of Violation
was issued on July 10, 2015.
3.2
Minor Industrial Users (MIUs)
A significant component of the City's Pretreatment Program is its oversight of minor
industrial users (MIUs) within the local community. A robust inspection effort provides
for a continuous update to our permit required non-domestic user inventory ensuring
that users subject to pretreatment standards are identified. This effort also helps ensure
MIUs comply with local rules and sewer use regulations outlined in Title 8, Chapter 14
of City Code, maintain required pretreatment equipment such as grease, sand and oil
interceptors, and follow BMPs, including accidental spill protection and pollution
prevention. Additionally, business owners and managers are provided with information
about the City's Storm Water Program.
A total of 1,309 inspections at MIU facilities that discharge wastewater to the local
publicly owned treatment works were conducted during the 2014 reporting year. 1,078
were conducted by Boise City staff which includes the Eagle Sewer District, the West
Boise Sewer District, the former Bench and Northwest Boise Sewer Districts, which
were both recently dissolved. 231 were conducted by Garden City.

The City utilizes its Inspection and Compliance Monitoring Procedures Manual for
inspection protocol and guidance. MIUs are initially identified for inspection by type of
business, nature of discharge, and potential risk to the POTW. The City's pretreatment
information and data management system consists of industrial user (IU) paper files and
the Pretreatment Industrial User Tracking and Planning database created in Microsoft
3-7
Access software. The application allows inspectors to easily generate reports, track
compliance and schedule inspection workload.
3.2.2 MIU Inspections and Compliance Monitoring
MIU inspections assist pretreatment staff in gaining an understanding of processes and
wastewater discharge characteristics at a variety of business types including automotive
service and repair, food service, and miscellaneous manufacturing. An MIU inspection's
primary purpose is to evaluate compliance with pretreatment regulations. During the
2015 reporting year, pretreatment inspectors provided businesses with copies of the
general discharge prohibitions, spill notification procedures, BMP brochures, including
storm water, as well as waste disposal, recycling and other pollution prevention
information.
Compliance monitoring and sampling serves to evaluate MIU compliance with federal
and local discharge limitations and standards. Compliance monitoring typically involves
manually collecting a grab sample or a composite sample using portable samplers, flow
meters, and continuous pH recording devices. Approximately 72 wastewater
compliance samples were collected at MIU facilities during the 2015 reporting period.
As a part of Boise City's robust FOG program, restaurant grease interceptors and
downstream manholes are routinely inspected for the presence of excessive oil and
grease, and samples are collected for temperature and waste strength. All FSEs are
inspected at least annually for compliance with the FOG BMPs. The BMPs require
routine pumping and inspection of grease abatement devices and record keeping.
Inspectors provide BMP educational materials, maintenance log sheets, and laminated
posters for on-site visual reminders. Inspectors will also work with individual businesses
to help the business establish a schedule of grease pumpings appropriate to their menu
and number of meals served. This prevents an undue burden on less grease-heavy
establishments, and ensures more consistent compliance with the BMPs.
3.2.3 MIU General Discharge Permits
The Boise Pretreatment regulations provide for the issuance of general discharge
permits to Ml Us to cover discharges to sewer from groundwater treatment facilities, RV
dump stations or uncovered equipment wash pads operated under special
circumstances. A general permit can also be used to ensure compliance with applicable
pretreatment requirements including required implementation of an accidental spill
prevention plan, installation and operation of pretreatment facilities, implementation of
required BMP's or to require notification for any change in process or zero discharge
status. A summary of MIU general discharge permit activity is summarized below.
Ada County Highway District - Maintenance and Operations
The 3730 Adams Street location in Garden City is used for storage and maintenance of
their materials and equipment. The indirect discharge permit allows them to discharge
wastewater and storm water originating from their facility to the Garden City sewer
system. At all times they are subject to Garden City Code Title 6, Chapter 6, Section 4,
3-8
and 40 CFR 403. The indirect discharge permit was re-issued on August 1, 2014 and
expires on August 1, 2019.
Aircraft Rescue Firefighting Facility
Zero discharge City owned fire fighter training facility. No discharge has occurred to
date under this permit. The permit was issued September 1, 201O and expired on
September 1, 2015. The need for a permit will be re-evaluated in the 2016 reporting
year based on the current operations, and a new permit issued if appropriate.
Boise State University Building Groundwater
This permit was re-issued March 1, 2015, with an expiration date of September 14,
2019 to coincide with the expiration date of their NPDES General Discharge Permit.
This permit acts as a mostly contingency permit in cases where local concentrations of
perchloroethylene (PCE) exceed levels allowed to be discharged to the Boise River
under their NPDES permit. This water, as long as it is not considered hazardous waste
(<0.7 mg/L), would then be allowed to discharge to the sanitary sewer. If, on the other
hand, the level of PCE exceeded the hazardous waste limit, BSU would have to cease
discharge from that particular pump system. Also, the groundwater sump pump under
the University's Kaiser Hall is configured in such a manner as to only allow sanitary
sewer discharge. This outfall is not accounted for in the University's NPDES permit, so
is thus covered for sanitary sewer discharge through this control mechanism.
Bureau of Land Management
Seasonal operation of an exterior uncovered firefighting equipment wash pad.
permit was re-issued March 1, 2014 with an expiration date of February 28, 2019.
The
Greyhound Lines Inc.
Operation of an exterior uncovered bus wash pad with manual operation isolation valve
system to preclude stormwater discharge to sewer. Annual inspection conducted to
confirm adherence to BMPs. The permit was re-issued June10, 2014 with an expiration
date of June 9, 2019. This permit is in the process of being re-issued to Boise
Winnemucca Stages, a tour bus company that is the current lessee at the Greyhound
facility. Since Greyhound Lines only utilizes the facility as a bus station and dump
station, with no bus washing or maintenance occurring on-site, the permit will only
include Boise Winnemucca Stages.
Idaho Power M&E Shop
Operation of an exterior uncovered vehicle wash pad. Annual inspections are
conducted to confirm on-going maintenance is performed. The permit was issued
February 1, 2011 with an expiration date of January 31, 2016.
Motive Power, Inc. - Groundwater Treatment
A TIDP was issued to Motive Power to accommodate supplemental injection of
bioremediation materials into the subterranean environment at Motive Power's 4600 S.
Apple Street site in Boise. In-situ bioremediation of the groundwater began at this site in
2005 pursuant to a Post Closure Permit issued by Idaho Department of Environmental
Quality. After an initial discharge during the first six months of the permit in 2009 to
3-9
facilitate the active injection period, activities generating wastewater are restricted to
between 200 and 300 gallons of monitoring well purge water during semi-annual
sampling events. This purge water is discharged to the on-site "mud basins" which
provides skimming and evaporation prior to sewer discharge. In September, 2012, they
replaced one well with another. The permit was re-issued effective May 1, 2014,
expiring May 1, 2019.
Motive Power, Inc.
Drains from various operations discharge to two onsite mud basins known as the
northern (#1) and southern (#2) mud basins where process wastewater is collected, oils
are skimmed, and wastewater is periodically discharged to the onsite private sanitary
sewer for eventual discharge into the City system. This general discharge permit was
developed to regulate the periodic discharge events associated with operations and
impose certain sampling and reporting requirements. The permit was issued effective
October 1, 2012, expiring September 30, 2017.
Plantation Golf
The 6515 State Street location is a full scale country club including a golf course and
restaurant. The TIDP allows them to discharge wastewater and stormwater originating
from their facility to the Garden City sewer system. At all times they are subject to
Garden City Code Title 6, Chapter 6, Section 4, and 40 CFR 403. The TIDP was re
issued on November 1, 2015 and expires on November 1, 2020.
Recreational Vehicle Dump Stations
In 2013 Boise City re-issued public RV Dump Permits to require implementation of
BMPs including dump lock-down, user log, record keeping, and signage. The
Cornerstone Carwash, LLC (1745 N. Five Mile Road) permit was issued April 1, 2013
with an expiration date of March 31, 2018. The Flying J Travel Plaza (3353 Federal
Way) permit was issued with an effective date of October 15, 2013 with an expiration
date of October 14, 2018.
Riverside Hotel
The 2900 W. Chinden Blvd. location has stormwater entering the sanitary sewer from
the western portion of their parking lot. Riverside Hotel was re-issued their indirect
discharge permit on December 19, 2011 and it is set to expire on December 19, 2016.
At all times they are subject to Garden City Code Title 6, Chapter 6, Section 4, and 40
CFR 403.
Super Wash Carwash
This facility ceased business operations in 2015.
Tesoro Logistics Operations
Tesoro Logistics Operations Boise Facility is located in the Bench Sewer District. This
facility was formerly Chevron Pipeline. The facility is a petroleum transportation and
distribution facility. Storm water collected from the tank roofs and concrete areas, as
well as limited water drawn from the petroleum tanks, is processed through three
activated carbon filters to remove hydrocarbons. This facility is a batch discharger with
3-10
an anticipation of semiannual discharging events. Tesoro Logistics requested and was
issued a discharge permit with an effective date of September 1, 2013 with an
expiration date of August 31, 2018. Boise Pretreatment Program staff developed and
implemented the permit on behalf of the Bench. In April of 2015 Tesoro Logistic
· requested modification to the existing permit due to removal of retention ponds along
with changes to collection and storage of on-site storm water. Boise Pretreatment staff
elected to issue a new permit due to these changes. The new permit has an effective
date August 01, 2015 with an expiration date of July 31, 2020.
Trebar Kenworth
A routine grab sample was collected from the exterior oil/sediment interceptor on 5/7/13.
The condition of the interceptor indicated a lack of routine maintenance, and results of
the sample exceeded 1 part per million cadmium. Due to this facility's history of poor
interceptor maintenance practices, an MIU-GDP was issued effective 9/1/2013, expiring
on 8/31/2018.
United Parcel Service
Garden City issued a TIDP to the local distribution center for the discharge of storm water
off an uncovered wash pad. The TIDP was re-issued On January 1, 2015 and expires on
January 1, 2020.
Univar USA
Zero discharge contaminated groundwater treatment facility. The permit was issued
September 10, 2010 and expired September 10, 2015. The need for a permit will be re
evaluated in the 2016 reporting year based on the current operations, and a new permit
issued if appropriate.
ZZZ Sanitation Company
A general discharge permit was issued to ZZZ to accommodate the use of a specialized
liquid waste haul truck capable of filtering and segregating water during cleaning of food
service facility grease interceptors. The permit imposes requirements to ensure
compliance with the City's codified fat/oil/grease BMPs but allow for the discharge of
supernate back into the grease interceptor post cleaning. The permit was issued May
21, 2012 with an expiration date of May 20, 2017.
3.2.4 Accidental Spill Prevention
Accidental spill prevention is assessed for all IUs. Identification and implementation of
accidental spill prevention measures among industrial users offers a means to prevent
releases of harmful substances, and to minimize the impact when they do occur.
During MIU inspections, common accidental spill concerns encountered include bulk oil,
solvent, or other chemicals and products stored too near an interceptor, trough, or floor
drain. Missing submerged outlets on drain sumps or interceptors is also of prime
concern.
3-11
3.2.5 MIU Enforcement Actions
For the most part, MIU noncompliance is resolved informally through inspections,
meetings, and information exchange. However, for serious or recurring violations, a
more aggressive enforcement response may be necessary. Depending on the
circumstances, more formal escalated enforcement options that range from issuance of
a Notice of Violation to termination of sewer service are available to resolve MIU
noncompliance.
Garden City MIU enforcement and compliance assistance summary information is
located in Appendix A.
Only one formal enforcement action was brought against an MIU facility by Boise City
Pretreatment during the 2015 reporting year.
Jiffy Lube, 1206 Broadway Avenue A wastewater sample was collected from the
secondary chamber of Jiffy Lube's Oil/Sediment Interceptor. Sample analysis received
from the lab on February 6 1h, 2015, indicated a mercury concentration of 4.13 µg/L,
which is a violation of Boise's mercury Local Limit. In response to the NOV, Jiffy Lube
completed a Mercury Incident Report, provided a Mercury Reduction Plan to the City,
and had the sump cleaned by a licensed contractor. This facility elected to cap the
outlet and seal the sump along with implementation of dry shop practices.

SECTION 4
4.1
LOCAL LIMITS
Local Limits Implementation
40CFR403.8(f)(4) directs POTWs with approved pretreatment programs to develop
local limits as necessary, or demonstrate they are not necessary. The City has a
rigorous local limits data collection, evaluation, and implementation process. Our local
limits evaluation is conducted in accordance with EPA Local Limits Development
Guidance (EPA, 2004).
Ongoing assessment of the need for numeric discharge limitations over and above
those established by categorical standards, and beyond the City's narrative prohibitions
and implementation of best management practices at the user level is a priority for the
City's pretreatment program.
In accordance with requirements in the new NPDES permits issued August 1, 2012, the
City undertook a detailed local limits study. The resulting Local Limits assessment was
submitted to EPA Region 10 for approval on July 31, 2013. The analysis included heavy
metals, ammonia, phosphorus and cyanide for both West Boise and Lander Street
facilities. The maximum allowable headworks loading (MAHL) method for biosolids
beneficial use, plant process inhibition, and water quality was used, and serves as the
basis for further local limits assessment.
Operation of the treatment plants continue to evolve with Lander Street operations staff
successfully configuring processes for biological nutrient removal while retaining the
option to use CEPT (Chemically Enhanced Primary Treatment) to meet interim
phosphorus limits. A significant upgrade is substantially completed of the West Boise
treatment process to Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal (EBPR) to meet interim
and final Total Phosphorus limits. Although structures such as a fermenter, waste
activated sludge phosphate release tank, and a sophisticated solids handling building
have been constructed, much work remains to optimize equipment and treatment
processes. The phosphate release tank provides a second nutrient-rich recycle stream
to utilize for intentional struvite precipitation. This struvite can be used as a fertilizer
product after meeting 40 CFR Part 503 requirements. Other than increasing production
of struvite, no other significant changes have occurred in biosolids disposal practices or
plant influent loadings.
4.2
2015 Local Limits Assessment
Table 4-1 presents a percent comparison of the measured system loadings for metals
and cyanide during the 2015 reporting period to the most restrictive MAHLs at both
WWTFs. As indicated by EPA local limits guidance (EPA, 2004), comparisons of 60%
or greater for average and 80% or greater for maximum loadings serve as thresholds
that suggest further pollutant specific evaluation may be necessary.
No analytes triggered either the 60% or the 80% thresholds in the 2015 reporting year.

POLLUTION PREVENTION & EDUCATION
Pollution Prevention (P2) Strategy
In 1990, Congress passed the Pollution Prevention Act directing EPA to establish a
program with a focus upon pollution reduction at the source and multi-media
management of pollution to preclude transfer of pollutants from one media to another.
The goals of the Act are to pursue "source reduction" or elimination activities first, then
recycling whenever feasible, and finally treatment or disposal in an environmentally safe
manner.
Pollution prevention (P2) is an equally applicable and useful municipal pretreatment
program strategy that can reduce pollutant wastestreams by providing inf ormation and
technical assistance to industrial users. The City has a pollution prevention program that
includes a multi-media based approach to identification and development of pollution
prevention options for a prioritized set of pollutants. The City completed its strategic
Pollution Prevention Strategy in August 2003 and began implementing in a phased
approach for high priority pollutants.
5.2 Existing Programs
Pretreatment staff routinely incorporates pollution prevention (P2) information into their
outreach and on-site inspection process. A library of P2 materials is maintained and
distributed to the industrial and commercial community during facility visits. The City's
Environmental Division supports and sponsors P2 in a variety of ways, ranging from
Household Hazardous Waste Collection to recognizing local businesses for their P2
successes. These efforts enhance the Pretreatment Program P2 component and assist
with achieving program goals.
5.2.1 Dental BMPs
The P2 Strategy identified mercury management as a Tier 1 priority target. The Dental
BMP inspection program was initiated during the 2005 reporting year and continued
through the 2013 reporting period. Pretreatment staff conducted 136 inspections under
the voluntary BMP program. Pretreatment staff monitors building permit applications to
identify new dental facilities to target for inspection.
During the 2015 reporting period, the City began inspections of dental facilities under
the new, mandatory Dental BMP program. Of 155 total dental facilities currently in
Boise City's jurisdiction, 121 are eligible for coverage under the mandatory BMPs, while
the other 34 facilities are exempt from the mandatory amalgam separator rule due to
type of practice (orthodontists, periodontists, etc.). The 121 eligible facilities were
classified as Priority 1 , 2 or 3 based on information reported on the application for
coverage under the BMP Program and inspection history. Priority 3 facilities were those
facilities who we knew already had amalgam separators installed based on prior
5-1
inspections, and this fact was re-iterated in their application for coverage. Forty-four
(44) facilities were classified as Priority 3. Priority 2 facilities were those facilities who
did not have an amalgam separator installed at the time of a prior inspection, but who
now certified one was installed. Fifty-six (56) facilities were classified as Priority 2.
Priority 1 facilities were those facilities that either reported that they had no amalgam
separator or did not return the application at all. Twenty-one (21) facilities were
classified as Priority 1.
After conducting fifty-one 51 inspections of Priority 1 and 2 facilities in 2015, a 100%
compliance rate with the mandatory BMPs was achieved among those facilities
inspected. Based on these inspections of the most likely problematic facilities, and the
certifications of compliance provided by the remaining facilities, it would appear that a
100% compliance rate is possible throughout the system. This will be verified in the
coming year.
Starting in the 2016 reporting year, all dental facilities that are eligible for coverage
under the BMP will be required to re-certify annually, and the population will be
inspected on a rotating three-year basis, with approximately one-third of the population
being inspected every year. Those facilities not eligible for coverage under the BMP will
be required to re-certify on a three-year basis, and will also be inspected triennially.
5.2.2 Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program
The Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Program consists of Ada County's
Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility located at the Ada County Landfill, and
city-sponsored mobile collection sites in Boise, Eagle, Kuna, and Meridian. Boise City
maintains 10 collection sites with each site open one day per month. All mobile
collection sites are serviced by a fleet of three City of Boise-owned vehicles; one of
which is a 33,000 GVW compressed natural gas (CNG) truck and van body. The CNG
vehicle began servicing collection sites in August 2012.
With the exception of biomedical waste, radiological materials, and explosives; all
household chemicals, cleaning products, paint, automotive related products, and lawn
and garden products are accepted through the HHW program. Used electronic items
such as computers, printers, scanners, fax machines, cell phones, and televisions are
also accepted. Starting in October 2013, electronics collection expanded to include
small counter-top and desk-top appliances (e.g., microwaves, stereo equipment, game
systems), and other hand-held electronics (e.g., camcorders, cameras). Other items
accepted through the HHW program include propane cylinders of all sizes and items
containing mercury such as fluorescent light tubes, thermometers, and thermostats.
Eagle and Kuna maintain one site each for quarterly collection of hazardous wastes.
Meridian maintains a collection site that is open every Monday, except holidays.
Hazardous materials and waste collection for conditionally exempt small quantity
generators (CESQG) has been offered through the program since 1998. CESQG
wastes are accepted from registered and qualified businesses one day per week at Ada
County's Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility. Outreach materials for the
5-2
CESQG program are handed out to appropriate businesses during Pretreatment
inspections in Boise, Eagle, and Meridian.
The City continues to operate the mercury thermometer exchange program developed
in February 2001 in partnership with Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center.
Program goals include removing the health threat mercury poses to families, reducing
the amount of mercury entering the wastewater system and municipal solid waste
landfill, and public outreach. The mercury thermometer exchange was revisited in
February 2007 with a renewed public relations and educational campaign. Additional
digital thermometers were purchased in 2013. The program is ongoing and available to
Ada County residents through the HHW Program.
In August 2014, the City rolled out a multi-year, multi-media campaign to educate
residents and businesses about proper management of mercury-containing products.
The campaign includes advertisements at local movie theaters, Public Service
Announcements (PSAs) on television, underwriting/sponsorship on multiple radio
stations, and pre-roll ads on television and newspaper websites. The campaign also
includes the development and installation of a mercury educational display for the Boise
Watershed located at the West Boise Treatment Plant and expanded mercury
information
on
the
city's
Household
Hazardous
Waste
webpages
(www.curbitboise.org/hhw). This mercury-targeted educational campaign is part of the
City's Mercury Minimization Plan.
To assist those within the community that have limited access to transportation due to
age or a physical limitation, a homebound pick up service was added to the HHW
Program in May 2003. To qualify for the service, participants must live within Ada
County, be at least 18 years old, and have a physical limitation that prohibits them from
transporting their materials to a collection site or the collection facility at the landfill. On
average, 8 to 12 households per year have requested this service since 2003.
The City of Boise's EnviroGuard Sustainability Award honors businesses who engage in
sustainable business practices and work to reduce their environmental footprint. In 2011
the program was revised to include two award categories. In October 2014, two Boise
businesses accepted the business award from the Mayor at a pre-council meeting
ceremony. Since inception, 45 Boise businesses have received this award.
5.2.3 Pharmaceutical P2 Program
In December 2009, Boise City Public Works, Ada County Sheriff's Office and the police
departments of Boise and Garden City launched a residential pharmaceutical collection
program. Public Works sponsored the start-up costs for the program including purchase
of the collection bins, graphics and signs, and outreach materials. The bins are located
in the lobby areas of the three police departments. In early 2013, the Eagle Police
Department joined the collection program, bringing the number of collection locations in
the program to a total of five (including Meridian Police). As with other locations that are
connected to the City of Boise wastewater treatment system, Boise City Public Works
sponsored the start-up costs for the Eagle location. In 2013, the Boise City Police
5-3
Department also started collecting medications at their substation on the Boise State
University campus. As of October 2015, 16 tons of outdated prescriptions and unwanted
medicines have been collected throughout Ada County.
Ada County Sheriff's Office and the police departments of Boise, Garden City, and
Meridian participated in the Drug Enforcement Agency's National Take Back Day on
Saturday, September 26, 2015. Typically for each Take Back event, there are three to
four collection locations throughout Ada County.
5.3
Boise Watershed Environmental Education Center
The Boise WaterShed Environmental Education Center opened in May 2008 and was
created through a partnership between the City of Boise and Boise WaterShed Exhibits,
Inc., a local non-profit organization. Located at the West Boise Wastewater Treatment
Facility, the center is the City's first LEED-certified building and Idaho's first water
education center. The Boise Watershed is designed to promote water stewardship by
teaching people of all ages how to protect and conserve our precious resource for future
generations.
The staff at the Boise Watershed incorporates stormwater pollution prevention and
stormwater management information into the programs, wastewater treatment plant
tours, and lessons offered to visitors. Education of personal impacts to water quality via
stormwater and wastewater, and pollution prevention tips are integrated throughout
most exhibits, lessons, tours, and the center's library resources. Since the facility's
opening, over 140,000 people have visited the Boise WaterShed and an additional
55,000 people have been reached through outreach lessons and events. This education
facility encourages use of the hazardous waste collection sites and pharmaceutical
drop-off programs, and supplement the City's other efforts to educate the general public
about personal pollution prevention and water conservation.
Construction on the new outdoor Boise WaterShed River Campus began in July of 2015
and has a projected completion date of August 2016. The River Campus will present a
new dimension to water education with exterior exhibits that show the big picture of the
Treasure Valley's water resources. Presented to simulate the workings of the Lower
Boise Watershed, the interactive, walk-able park-like setting will take the visitor on a
journey from Lucky Peak Reservoir and Dam, through Boise's urban streets, and the
wastewater treatment plant. From here they will watch cleaned water returned to the
Boise River and see it flow downstream to the agricultural zone that sustains our food
industry. Ultimately, visitors will realize that what we do upstream not only affects
downstream users but also the overall health of the Snake River.

2.2 Minor Industrial Users
2.2.1 MIU ADMINISTRATION
Pretreatment staff routinely conduct review & inspection of businesses providing education
to the owners and managers about the City's Pretreatment Program and regulations. This
effort assists and educates the MIU group so as to comply with the prohibited discharge
standards, maintain pretreatment equipment and follow best management practices
(BMP's) and Accidental Spill Protection. Pretreatment staff are able to create and track IU
files, reports, letter, photos, memo's and phone logs.
2.2.2 MIU INSPECTIONS
Inspection process can begin with a phone call and/or email notification to a particular
business specifying a date and time for the inspection as appropriate. An inspection can
also be unannounced to more accurately reflect normal activities at the facility. The
inspection protocol shall be consistent with Garden City Inspection and Compliance
Monitoring Procedures Manual.
Approximately 231 inspections were conducted at MIU facilities located in Garden City
during the 2015 pretreatment year. There are 68 Food Service Establishments in Garden
City.
2.2.3 MIU ACCIDENTAL SPILL PREVENTION
During MIU inspections, accidental spill prevention is addressed through identification and
implementation of preventative measures. These measures are to prevent and minimize
the potential adverse impact in the event of an accidental release of harmful substances.
2.2.4 MIU COMPLIANCE MONITORING
Discharges from MIU facilities are monitored at random to verify compliance with the
general pretreatment discharge standards.
2.2.5 MIU ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS
The majority of MIU non-compliance issues are resolved through inspections, requests,
meetings and information exchange. However, serious or recurring violations require a
more aggressive response, such as Notice of Violation, Warnings, Citations and/or fines.
