Chapter 4 LEGAL AUTHORITY This chapter summarizes the Port of Oakland’s (Port’s) authority, through ordinances, services agreements, or other legally binding procedures, to conform to the RWQCB requirements and the GWDRs. 4.1 REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS 4.1.1 San Francisco Bay Area RWQCB Requirements The San Francisco Bay Area Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) requires that each wastewater collection system agency shall, at a minimum, describe its legal authority, through sewer use ordinances, services agreements, or other legally binding procedures to: • Control inflow/infiltration (I/I) from satellite wastewater collection systems and laterals; • Require proper design and construction of new and rehabilitated sewers and connections; • Require proper installation, testing, and inspection of new and rehabilitated sewers. The RWQCB allows for this element to be waived for collection systems that serve a population of 10,000 or less. However, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) requirements do not allow for such a waiver. Therefore, the Port must demonstrate that it possesses adequate legal authority. 4.1.2 SWRCB Requirements The State General Waste Discharge Requirements Order No. 2006-0003 (GWDRs) specify the following with respect to Legal Authority: Each Enrollee must demonstrate, through sanitary sewer system use ordinances, service agreements, or other legally binding procedures, that it possesses the necessary legal authority to: a. Prevent illicit discharges into its sanitary sewer system (examples may include I/I, stormwater, chemical pumping, unauthorized debris and cut roots, etc.); b. Require that sewers and connections be properly designed and constructed; c. Ensure access for maintenance, inspection, or repairs for portions of the lateral owned or maintained by the Public Agency; d. Limit the discharge of fats, oils, and grease and other debris that may cause blockages; and e. Enforce any violation of its sewer ordinances.

4.2 PORT SEWER USE ORDINANCES Prior to developing the SSMP, the Board of Port Commissioners, which has been vested exclusive control and management of the Port through the Charter of the City of Oakland (City), had not developed or enacted ordinances related to the sanitary sewer system. In order to strengthen the Port’s ability to regulate the type of wastewater discharged into the Port sewer system and to require that sewers and connections be properly designed and constructed, a Port specific sewer use ordinance (Port Ordinance 4113) was developed and adopted by the Board. This ordinance, which is included in Appendix E for reference, will help the Port to comply with the GWDRs and the requirements of the RWQCB. Because the Port discharges into both the City and East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) sewer systems, an effort was made to provide consistency with the Port’s, the City’s, and EBMUD’s sewer use ordinances. The Port sewer use ordinance is not meant to supersede the existing EBMUD or City ordinances. Rather, it is meant to provide an additional measure of legal authority to the Port in the implementation of specific measures outlined in this report. This section summarizes the provisions of the ordinances as applicable to the GWDRs. 4.2.1 Illicit Discharges Section 5 of Port Ordinance 4113 (Appendix E) provides limitations of the types of substances that may be discharged into the Port’s sewer system. This generally includes wastewater discharges that result in contamination, pollution, or a nuisance. 4.2.2 Design and Construction Requirements Port Ordinance 4113 (Appendix E) establishes the authority of the Port to develop and enforce standards for design, construction, inspection, and testing of new or rehabilitated sanitary sewers within the Port’s jurisdiction. Pursuant to the proposed ordinance, a formal set of Port specific design standards have been developed as part of the SSMP development process. Chapter 6 describes the design standards in greater detail. 4.2.3 Maintenance, Inspection, and Repair Access Section 6 of Port Ordinance 4113 (Appendix E) grants the authority of Port staff, under the direction of the Executive Director or his designated representative, to secure access to any buildings, structures, or premises under Port jurisdiction to inspect, repair, or maintain sanitary sewer facilities. 4.2.4 Limitations on Fats, Oils, and Grease and Other Debris Section 5, Part F of Port Ordinance 4113 prohibits the discharge of any substance with a constituent concentration that exceeds the numerical limits established in the EBMUD Wastewater Control Ordinance or the City Municipal Code, whichever is more stringent.
