PROGRAM NAME
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
DESCRIPTION / MISSION
This program is designed to meet all local, state and federal environmental regulations as it relates to water quality, storm water,
and wastewater. This program will administer the wastewater program (WW), cross-connection control, backflow prevention
program, grease and oil management program, storm water management program (SW) and state mandated water quality testing
(WQ).

GOALS
• To meet or exceed all local, state, and federal water, wastewater and storm water environmental regulations. (Safety and
Security)
• To control pollutants in wastewater collection system which in turn will reduce treatment cost. (Financial Stability)
• To maintain integrity of water distribution system by ensuring no contaminants allowed to backflow from water users to city
system. (Safety and Security)
• To regulate and monitor all required grease and oil traps and minimize potential stoppages in the wastewater collection system.
(Safety and Security)
• To minimize inflow into the wastewater collection system and reduce the amount of wastewater treated. (Financial Stability)
• To protect water quality and satisfy the appropriate water quality of the U.S. Clean Water Act. (Safety and Security)

OBJECTIVES
• Monitor and regulate all significant industrial users for categorical pretreatment pollutants discharging to the city’s wastewater
collection system.
• Monitor entities that discharge to wastewater collection system to ensure proper revenue generation for payment of treatment
cost.
• Ensure registration of certified backflow prevention testers with Planning and Inspection Department to maintain protection of
water distribution system.
• Monitor and regulate all required backflow prevention devices to ensure testing is completed within specified time parameters.
• Monitor and regulate all required grease and oil trap devices to ensure minimal risk discharges into the wastewater collection
system.
• Administer and manage all state mandated water quality testing to ensure compliance with state and federal laws.
• Reduce the discharge of pollutants to “maximum extent practicable” by using Best Management Practices from the city’s Storm
Water Management Plan.
• Educate the citizens, businesses, and staff on the proper disposal of fats, oils, and grease to reduce the impact of FOG into the
sanitary sewer system.
• Monitor and report all city owned water well usage to the Northern Trinity Groundwater Conservation District.
• Administer and manage the city wastewater program with the City of Fort Worth per contract.
