(A) All users who discharge wastewaters to the wastewater treatment system shall maintain such records of production and related factors, effluent flows, and pollutant amounts or concentrations as are necessary to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of this subchapter, and any applicable state and federal pretreatment standards or requirements.
(B) Such records shall be made available upon request by the Superintendent. All such records relating to compliance with pretreatment standards shall be made available to officials of the U.S. Environmental Agency upon demand. A summary of such data indicating the industrial user’s compliance with this subchapter shall be prepared semi-annually and submitted to the Superintendent as a part of the discharge report. All records must be kept on file for a period of three years. If any action is being taken, records must be kept through a period in which all appeals have been exhausted.
(C) The owner or operator of any premises or facility discharging wastes into the system shall install at his or her own cost and expense suitable monitoring equipment to facilitate the accurate observation sampling and measurement of wastes. Such equipment shall be maintained in proper working order and kept safe and accessible at all times.
(D) The monitoring equipment shall be located and maintained on the user’s premises outside of the building. When such a location would be impractical or cause undue hardship on the user, the Superintendent may allow such facility (a below ground sampling manhole) to be constructed in the public street or sidewalk area, with the approval of the public agency having jurisdiction over such street or sidewalk, and located so that it will not be obstructed by public utilities, landscaping, or parked vehicles.
(E) When more than one user can discharge into a common sewer, the Superintendent may require installation of separate monitoring equipment for each user. When there is a significant difference in wastewater constituents and characteristics produced by different operations of a single user, the Superintendent may require that separate monitoring facilities be installed for each separate discharge.
(F) Whether constructed on public or private property, the monitoring facilities shall be constructed in accordance with the Superintendent’s requirements, and all applicable construction standards and specifications.
