Any person affected by any decision, action, or determination by the city, interpreting or implementing the provisions of this chapter, including, without limitations, the provisions of this chapter, or any industrial wastewater discharge permit issued hereunder by the city, excepting therefrom any decision, action, or determination of the city to pursue either criminal penalties or civil judicial enforcement, may file with the clerk of the city, within ten days of the date of service of such decision, action or determination, a notice of appeal to the board appealing such decision, action or determination by the city. The notice of appeal shall set forth in detail all facts supporting the industrial user’s appeal of the decision of the city.
