      Enforcement and Settlement Agreements

      The City of Phoenix ensures that regulated industrial users comply with Federal, State and City laws. To assist with investigating and responding to instances of industrial user noncompliance, the City ​of Phoenix has developed an Enforcement Response Plan (ERP) that outlines available enforcement actions. Enforcement responses can range from an informal verbal warning, to a formal Notice of Violation (NOV), or the assessment of penalties, or in rare situations the termination of City services.​

      Depending on the severity, frequency, and other conditions related to one or more violations, a regulated entity could be placed in a state of Significant Noncompliance (SNC).

      ​A list of companies in SNC is published in the newspaper annually.

      Pretreatment Settlement Agreements

      A Pretreatment Settlem​ent Agreement (PSA) is an ​​out-of-court settlement which legally describes the details of a negotiated agreement. A PSA stems from a Show Cause Meeting during which the City and an industrial user negotiate civil penalties and resolve disputes pertaining to violations of a Wastewater Discharge Permit and/or Federal, State, and Local wastewater discharge regulations.

      The proposed PSA in the right column may be examined by clicking on the referenced (when a PSA is posted) or by visiting the City of Phoenix City Clerk Dept at the following address:

      200 W. Washington St., 15th Floor
      Phoenix, AZ 85003
      Telephone: 602-262-6811

      The Pretreatment Settlement Agreement (P​SA) is filed with the court following a thirty day public comment period and upon receipt of negotiated civil ​pe​nalties.
