920.09 WASTEWATER DISCHARGE PERMIT APPLICATION.
(a) Permit Required. It shall be unlawful to discharge industrial wastes to the POTW without having first complied with the terms of this chapter. Any discharger subject to this chapter that is required to have installed pretreatment prior to discharge must be in compliance with applicable pretreatment standards or requirements set forth in this chapter within ninety days of startup.
(b) Baseline Monitoring Reports. All industrial users, and other users as may be required by the Director of Water Reclamation, shall submit a wastewater discharge data disclosure to the Director of Water Reclamation at least ninety days prior to connecting to or discharging to the POTW. All existing significant industrial users connected to or discharging to the POTW, and which have not previously submitted a wastewater discharge data disclosure, shall submit the same to the Director of Water Reclamation within ninety days of the effective date of this chapter. Each disclosure shall include:
(1) Name and address of applicant;
(2) A list of any environmental control permits held by the facility;
(3) A description of operations, including the nature, rate of production and Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) of the operation(s). This description shall include a schematic process diagram which indicates the point(s) of discharge to the POTW;
(4) Measured average daily and maximum flows of regulated process wastestreams and other nonregulated wastestreams;
(5) Results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration (or mass, where required by the standard or control authority) of regulated pollutants from each regulated process. Both daily maximum and average concentration (or mass, where required) shall be reported. For pH, hexavalent chromium, cyanide, total phenols, oil and grease, sulfide and volatile organics a minimum of four grab samples must be analyzed. Multiple grab samples collected during a twenty-four hour period may be composited prior to the analysis as follows: for hexavalent chromium, cyanide, total phenols and sulfides the samples may be composited in the laboratory or in the field; for volatile organics and oil and grease the samples may be composited in the laboratory. For all other pollutants a minimum of one 24-hour flow proportional composite sample must be obtained. Samples should be taken immediately downstream of regulated processes if no pretreatment facilities exist. The samples shall be representative of the daily operations. In cases where the standard requires compliance with BMP or a pollution prevention alternative, the industrial user shall submit documentation as required by the control authority or the applicable standards to determine compliance with the standards;
(6) Raw materials utilized and their amounts;
(7) Type and amount of product produced. For industrial users subject to equivalent mass or concentration limits established by the Director of Water Reclamation, this report shall include a reasonable measure of the user's long-term production rate. For industrial users subject to production-based standards, this report shall include the user's actual production during the appropriate sampling period;
(8) Where additional pretreatment and/or operation and maintenance activities will be required to comply with this chapter, the discharger shall provide a declaration of the shortest schedule by which the discharger will provide such additional pretreatment according to the conditions in Section 920.12 herein; and
(9) The certification statement review and signed by an authorized representative as required in Section 920.11(d) herein, certifying whether categorical pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent basis and, if not, whether additional operation and maintenance or additional pretreatment or both, is required by the industrial user to meet the categorical pretreatment standards and requirements.
