Under general supervision, performs inspections and sampling of industrial, commercial, and residential sources of discharge to the wastewater and storm water systems to ensure compliance with Federal, State, and local regulations; inspects hazardous and toxic materials storage areas; reviews building plans for compliance with building code regulations and to ensure discharger compliance with all applicable regulators; conducts public outreach activities; and performs other duties as assigned.

This is a journey level classification in the source control series. Incumbents initially perform the more routine assigned duties and work under close supervision. However, as experience is gained, incumbents are expected to perform the full range of duties as assigned with increasing independence. This class is distinguished from the WR Source Control Technician which is the trainee level job classification requiring no direct experience.

It is further distinguished from the Water Resources Coordinator in that the latter assumes administrative and supervisory responsibility for the source control program and the assigned source control staff. This classification is distinguished from all other technical classes of the City by its specialized assignments in support of a variety of environmental compliance programs. The duties of the class involve courteous, effective, and tactful interaction with the community to ensure compliance with wastewater and stormwater discharge regulations.

Persons assigned to this class perform or assist in performing all functions associated with the City’s Pretreatment, Pollution Prevention, and Stormwater programs.

Supervision is provided by the Water Resources Coordinator. Work assignments and direction may also be received from the Public Services Supervisor.
