(A) (1) Baseline reports.
(a) Existing sources. Within 180 days after the effective date of a Categorical Pretreatment Standard, existing industrial users subject to that Categorical Pretreatment Standard and currently discharging or scheduled to discharge to the sewage treatment works shall submit a baseline report to the Director which contains all information required in § 50.028. If reports containing this information have already been submitted to the Director, the user shall review his submittal in detail and update this information within the 180 days after the effective date of the Categorical Pretreatment Standard. Sampling and analysis shall be performed in accordance with procedures specified in § 50.033(B). This report shall include a report of average and maximum daily flows from these regulated processes, and for the reporting period any other requirements as provided in 40 CFR 403.12, including documentation indicting compliance with any and all BMPs or pollution prevention alternative that may be stipulated in the Industrial Discharge Permit.
(b) New sources. At least 90 days before beginning to discharge wastewater, new sources and industrial users which become regulated after promulgation of a Categorical Pretreatment Standard shall submit a baseline report to the Director containing the information required in § 50.028. New sources shall also include in this baseline report, information of any pretreatment processes they intend to use to comply with applicable Pretreatment Standards or any provision of this chapter. New sources shall estimate their wastewater flows, pollutant constituents and concentrations, and production data.
(2) 90 day compliance reports. All significant industrial users and other users subject to Categorical Pretreatment Standards shall submit to the Director within 90 days following the final compliance date of the Pretreatment Standard, or for a new user, within 90 days after the commencement of the discharge to the city's sewage treatment works, a report indicating the nature and concentration of prohibited or regulated substances discharged from each regulated process and limited by such Categorical Pretreatment Standards. Sampling and analysis shall be performed in accordance with procedures specified in § 50.033(B). This report shall include a report of average and maximum daily flows from these regulated processes, and for the reporting period any other requirements as provided in 40 CFR 403.12 including documentation indicating compliance with any and all BMPs or pollution prevention alternative that may be stipulated in the Industrial Discharge Permit.
(3) Periodic reports on continued compliance. Any Industrial User subject to a categorical Pretreatment Standard, after the compliance date of such Pretreatment Standard, or, in the case of a new source, after commencement of the discharge into the POTW, shall submit to the Director, at the frequency specified in the user's Industrial Discharge Permit, a report indicating the nature and concentration of pollutants in the effluent which are limited by such categorical Pretreatment Standards. Sampling and analysis shall be performed in accordance with procedures specified in § 50.033(B). This report shall include a report of average and maximum daily flows from these regulated processes, and for the reporting period any other requirements as provide in 40 CFR 403.12, including documentation indicating compliance with any and all BMPs or pollution prevention alternative that may be stipulated in the Industrial Discharge Permit.
(4) Reporting requirements for Industrial Users not subject to categorical Pretreatment Standards. Any industrial user not subject to Categorical Pretreatment Standards shall also submit periodic compliance reports demonstrating compliance with all provisions of this chapter. The frequency of these compliance reports, determined by the Director, shall be detailed and presented in the user's wastewater discharge permit. This report shall include a report of average and maximum daily flows from these regulated processes, and for the reporting period any other requirements as provide in 40 CFR 403.12, including documentation indicating compliance with any and all BMPs or pollution prevention alternative that may be stipulated in the Industrial Discharge Permit.
(B) Industrial users reports shall contain all results of sampling and analysis of the discharge for that particular reporting period, including the flow, nature and concentration of pollutants, or production and mass, where required by the Director. The frequency of monitoring by the user shall be as prescribed in the applicable Pretreatment Standard of this chapter and as contained in the users wastewater discharge permit. All analyses shall be performed in accordance with 40 CFR 136 and amendments thereto. Grab samples must be used for pH, hexavalent chromium, cyanide, total phenols, oil and grease, sulfide, and volatile organic compounds. All other pollutants shall be measured by flow-proportional composite sampling, unless justification for an alternate sampling type, representative of the discharge is documented in the user file. Multiple grab samples collected during a 24-hour period may now be composited in the field or laboratory prior to analysis for hexavalent chromium, cyanide, total phenols and sulfides; volatile organic compounds and oil and grease samples shall be composited in the laboratory. Where 40 CFR 136 does not include a sampling or analytical technique for the pollutant in question, sampling and analysis shall be performed in accordance with the procedures set forth in the USEPA publication, Sampling and Analysis Procedures for Screening of Industrial Priority Pollutants, 1977, and amendments thereto, or with any other sampling and analytical procedures approved by the USEPA Administrator.
For industrial users subject to equivalent mass or concentration limits established by the Director in accordance with the procedures in § 50.023, these reports 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 discharged per unit of production or other measure of operation, the reports shall include the user's actual production during the appropriate sampling period. If an equivalent concentration limit has been calculated in accordance with a Categorical Pretreatment Standard, this adjusted concentration limit shall also be submitted in these reports.
(1) The report shall include a record of all measured, estimated, average and maximum daily flows during the reporting period. Flows shall be reported on the basis of actual measurement, provided, however, where cost or feasibility considerations justify, the Director may accept reports of average and maximum flows estimated by verifiable techniques. The Director may require an industrial user to install flow monitoring facilities, instruments, and recording devices to enable accurate measurement of flows as determined to be necessary.
(2) The results of any additional user self-monitoring, that is monitoring not required by a Categorical Pretreatment Standard or by the user's discharge permit, conducted during the monitoring/ reporting period, and for which USEPA- approved procedures under 40 CFR 136 or approved alternative were used may accompany the periodic compliance reports.
(C) Reports shall state whether the applicable Categorical Pretreatment Standards or other standards set forth in this chapter and in the user's wastewater discharge permit are being met on a consistent basis and, if not, what additional facilities or pretreatment is necessary to achieve compliance with applicable Categorical Pretreatment Standards or the standards set forth in this chapter.
(D) All reports shall be signed by a responsible corporate official as defined in § 50.001, and shall include the following certification statement:
I certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons directly responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted is to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and imprisonment for knowing violations.
(E) All industrial users shall promptly notify the Director in writing prior to implementing any modification of its manufacturing process, production methods or wastewater-generating procedures which will result in a substantial change in the volume or character of pollutants contained in its discharge to the sewage treatment works, including listed or characteristic hazardous wastes for which the industrial user has submitted initial notification under 40 C.F.R. 403.12(p). This notification shall discuss the proposed modification and expected quality, including pollutant constituents and concentrations, or the user's wastewater discharge. Significant Industrial Users shall notify the POTW immediately of any changes at the facility affecting the potential for a slug discharge. Failure to notify the Director shall subject the user to penalties detailed in § 50.999.
(F) If the industrial user's sampling data indicate a violation, the user shall:
(1) Notify the Director within 24 hours of becoming aware of the violation.
(2) Repeat the sampling and analysis and submit both sets of test results within 30 days unless the city samples the user's discharge between the industrial self-monitoring and receipt of the analytical results which indicate a violation. The 30-day period begins on the user's receipt of the original sampling results. Resampling is not required if the city performs sampling at the Industrial User at a frequency of at least once per month.
(3) If a violation occurs where the city has performed the sampling and analysis in lieu of the industrial user, the city shall perform the repeat sampling and analysis unless it notifies the user of the violation and requires the user to perform the repeat analysis.
