Information and data on a user obtained from reports, surveys, wastewater discharge permit applications, wastewater discharge permits, and monitoring programs, and from City inspection and sampling activities, shall be available to the public without restriction, unless the user specifically requests and is able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the City that the release of such information would divulge information, processes or methods of production entitled to protection as trade secrets under applicable State law. When requested and demonstrated by the user furnishing a report that such information should be held confidential, the portions of a report which might disclose trade secrets or secret processes shall not be made available for inspection by the public, except when disclosure is required by the Oregon Public Records Law. Information shall be made available immediately upon request to governmental agencies for uses related to the WPCF permit or pretreatment program and in enforcement proceedings involving the person furnishing the report. Wastewater constituents and characteristics and other “effluent data” will not be recognized as confidential information. [Ord. NS-2182, 2012]
