REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
§ 54.095 BASELINE MONITORING REPORTS.
   (A)   Report required.
      (1)   Existing sources. Within either 180 days after the effective date of a categorical pretreatment standard, or the final administrative decision on a category determination under 40 C.F.R. § 403.6(a)(4), whichever is later, existing categorical industrial users currently discharging to or scheduled to discharge to the POTW shall submit to the Superintendent a report which contains the information listed in division (B) below.
      (2)   New sources. At least 90 days prior to commencement of their discharge, new sources, and sources that become categorical industrial users subsequent to the promulgation of an applicable categorical standard, shall submit to the Superintendent a report which contains the information listed in division (B) below. A new source shall report the method of pretreatment it intends to use to meet applicable categorical standards. A new source also shall give estimates of its anticipated flow and quantity of pollutants to be discharged.
   (B)   Information required. Users described in division (A) above shall submit the information set forth below:
      (1)   Generally. All information required in § 54.059(B)(1)(a), (B)(2), (B)(3)(a) and (B)(6);
      (2)   Measurement of pollutants.
         (a)   The user shall provide the information required in § 54.059(B)(7)(a) to (B)(7)(d).
         (b)   The user shall take a minimum of one representative sample to compile that data necessary to comply with the requirements of this section.
         (c)   Samples should be taken immediately downstream from pretreatment facilities if such exists or immediately downstream from the regulated process if no pretreatment exists. If other wastewaters are mixed with the regulated wastewater prior to pretreatment, the user should measure the flows and concentrations necessary to allow use of the combined waste stream formula in 40 C.F.R. 403.6(e) to evaluate compliance with the pretreatment standards. Where an alternate concentration or mass limit has been calculated in accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 403.6(e), this adjusted limit, along with supporting data, shall be submitted to the Control Authority.
         (d)   Sampling and analysis shall be performed in accordance with § 54.104 of this chapter.
         (e)   The Superintendent may allow the submission of a baseline report which utilizes only historical data so long as the data provides information sufficient to determine the need for industrial pretreatment measures.
         (f)   The baseline report shall indicate the time, date and place of sampling and the methods of analysis, and shall certify that such sampling and analysis is representative of normal work cycles and expected pollutant discharges to the POTW.
      (3)   Compliance certification. A statement, reviewed by the user’s authorized representative as defined in § 54.001 of this chapter and certified by a qualified professional, indicating whether pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent basis, and if not, whether additional operation and maintenance (O & M) and/or additional pretreatment is required to meet the pretreatment standards and requirements.
      (4)   Compliance schedule. If additional pretreatment and/or operation and maintenance will be required to meet the pretreatment standards, the shortest schedule by which the user will provide such additional pretreatment and/or operation and maintenance must be provided. The completion date in this schedule shall not be later than the compliance date established for the applicable pretreatment standard. A compliance schedule pursuant to this section must meet the requirements set out in § 54.096 of this chapter.
      (5)   Signature and report certification. All baseline monitoring reports must be certified in accordance with § 54.108(A) of this chapter and signed by an authorized representative as defined in § 54.001 of this chapter.
(Ord. 7-2010, passed 11-22-2010)
§ 54.096 COMPLIANCE SCHEDULE PROGRESS REPORTS.
   The following conditions shall apply to the compliance schedule required by § 54.095(B)(4) of this chapter.
   (A)   The schedule shall contain progress increments in the form of dates for the commencement and completion of major events leading to the construction and operation of additional pretreatment required for the user to meet the applicable pretreatment standards (such events include, but are not limited to, hiring an engineer, completing preliminary and final plans, executing contracts for major components, commencing and completing construction and beginning and conducting routine operation).
   (B)   No increment referred to in division (A) above shall exceed nine months.
   (C)   The user shall submit a progress report to the Superintendent not later than 14 days following each date in the schedule and the final date of compliance, including, as a minimum, whether or not it complied with the increment of progress, the reason for any delay and, if appropriate, the steps being taken by the user to return to the established schedule.
   (D)   In no event shall more than nine months elapse between such progress reports to the Superintendent.

§ 54.097 REPORTS ON COMPLIANCE WITH CATEGORICAL PRETREATMENT STANDARD DEADLINE.
   Within 90 days following the date for final compliance with applicable categorical pretreatment standards, or in the case of a new source, following commencement of the introduction of wastewater into the POTW, any user subject to such pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the Superintendent a report containing the information described in §§ 54.059(B)(6) and (B)(7) and 54.095(B)(2) of this chapter. For users subject to equivalent mass or concentration limits established in accordance with the procedures in § 54.021 of this chapter, this report shall contain a reasonable measure of the user’s long-term production rate. For all other users subject to categorical pretreatment standards expressed in terms of allowable pollutant discharge per unit of production (or other measure of operation), this report shall include the user’s actual production during the appropriate sampling period. All compliance reports must be signed and certified in accordance with § 54.108(A) of this chapter. All sampling will be done in conformance with § 54.105 of this chapter.
(Ord. 7-2010, passed 11-22-2010)
§ 54.098 PERIODIC COMPLIANCE REPORTS.
   (A)   Except as specified otherwise, all significant industrial users must, at a frequency determined by the Superintendent, submit not less than twice per year (June and December, or on dates specified) reports indicating the nature, concentration of pollutants in the discharge which are limited by pretreatment standards and the measured or estimated average and maximum daily flows for the reporting period. In cases where the pretreatment standard requires compliance with a best management practice (BMP) or pollution prevention alternative, the user must submit documentation required by the Superintendent or the pretreatment standard necessary to determine the compliance status of the user.
   (B)   All periodic compliance reports must be signed and certified in accordance with § 54.108(A) of this chapter.
   (C)   All wastewater samples must be representative of the user’s discharge. Wastewater monitoring and flow measurement facilities shall be properly operated, kept clean and maintained in good working order at all times. The failure of a user to keep its monitoring facility in good working order shall not be grounds for the user to claim that sample results are unrepresentative of its discharge.
   (D)   If a user subject to the reporting requirement in this section monitors any regulated pollutant at the appropriate sampling location more frequently than required by the Superintendent using the procedures prescribed in § 54.105 of this chapter, the results of this monitoring shall be included in the report.
(Ord. 7-2010, passed 11-22-2010)
§ 54.099 CHANGED CONDITIONS REPORTS.
   (A)   Each user must notify the Superintendent of any significant changes to the user’s operations or system which might alter the nature, quality or volume of its wastewater at least 30 days before the change.
   (B)   The Superintendent may require the user to submit such information as may be deemed necessary to evaluate the changed condition, including the submission of a wastewater discharge permit application under § 54.059 of this chapter.
   (C)   The Superintendent may issue an individual wastewater discharge permit under § 54.080 of this chapter or modify an existing wastewater discharge permit under § 54.077 of this chapter in response to changed conditions or anticipated changed conditions.
