(A) Baseline monitoring report. At least 90 days prior to commencement of discharge, new sources and sources that becomes industrial users subsequent to the promulgation of an applicable categorical standard, shall be required to submit to the city a report which contains the following information. New sources shall also be required to include in the report information on the method of pretreatment the source intend to use to meet the applicable pretreatment standards. New sources will give estimates of the information requested when actual data is not available.
(1) Identifying information. The user shall submit the name and address of the facility including the name of the operator and owners.
(2) Permits. The user shall submit a list of any environmental control permits held by or for the facility.
(3) Description of operations. The user shall submit a brief description of the nature, average rate of production, and standard industrial classification of the operation(s) carried out by the industrial user. This description should include a schematic process diagram which indicates points of discharge to the system from the regulated process.
(4) Flow measurements.
(a) The user shall submit information showing the measured average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the system from each of the following:
1. Regulated process streams; and
2. Other streams as necessary to allow use of the combined waste stream formula.
(b) The city may allow for verifiable estimates of these flows where justified by cost or feasibility considerations.
(5) Measurement of pollutants.
(a) The user shall identify the pretreatment standards applicable to each regulated process.
(b) In addition, the user shall submit the results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration of regulated pollutants in the discharge from each regulated process. Both daily maximum and average concentration shall be reported. The sample shall be representative of daily operations.
(6) Certification. A statement, reviewed by the user’s authorized representative 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.
(7) Compliance schedule. If additional pretreatment and/or O&M will be required to meet the pretreatment standards, the shortest schedule by which the user will provide additional pretreatment and/or O&M. The completion date in this schedule shall not be later than the compliance date established for the applicable pretreatment standard.
(8) Signature certification. All baseline monitoring reports must be signed and certified in accordance with § 52.28. The user shall report any changes to the information in the report to the city within 60 days of the user’s receipt of the changed information.
(B) Compliance schedule progress reports. The following conditions shall apply to the compliance schedule required by division (A)(7) above. The user shall report any changes to the information in the report to the city within 60 days of the user’s receipt of the changed information:
(1) 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 (these 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);
(2) No increment referred to above shall exceed nine months;
(3) The user shall submit a progress report to the Superintendent no later than 14 days following each date in the schedule and the final date of compliance including, as a minimum, whether or not it compiled 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; and
(4) In no event shall more than nine months elapse between the progress reports to the Superintendent.
(C) Categorical pretreatment standard compliance deadline report. 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 sewage into the system, any industrial user subject to pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the city a report containing the information described in divisions (A)(4) through (6) above.
(D) Periodic reports on continued compliance.
(1) All users subject to a categorical pretreatment standard shall submit to the city during the months of June and December, unless required more frequently, a report indicating the nature and concentration of the pollutants in the effluent which are limited by the categorical pretreatment standards. In addition, this report shall include a record on measured or estimated average and maximum daily flows for the reporting period for the discharge reported. The city may require more detailed reporting of flows. The city may agree to alter the months during which the above reports are to be submitted.
(2) Each non-categorical significant industrial user shall submit to the city during the months of June and December, a description of the nature, concentration and flow of the pollutants required to be reported by the city. In addition this report shall include a record on measured or estimated average and maximum daily flows for the reporting period for the discharge reported. The city may require more detailed reporting of flows. The city may agree to alter the months during which the above reports are to be submitted and may require more frequent reporting if the city determines that more frequent reporting is necessary. These reports shall be based n sampling and analyses performed in the period covered by the report and performed in accordance with the techniques described in 40 C.F.R. part 136 and amendments thereto or any other applicable sampling and analytical procedures suggested by the sewage treatment facility or other persons approved by the city.
(E) Reports from unpermitted users. All users not required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit under § 52.36 shall provide appropriate reports to the city as the city may require.
(F) Timing. Written reports will be deemed to have been submitted on the date postmarked. For reports that are not mailed, the date of receipt of the report will govern.
