(a) The Director shall publish annually, in the largest daily newspaper published in the Municipality, a list of the dischargers which, at any time during the previous twelve (12) months, were in significant noncompliance with applicable pretreatment standards and requirements.
(b) For the purposes of this provision, a discharger is in significant noncompliance if its violations meet one or more of the following criteria:
