(a) Baseline Monitoring Reports. Within 180 days after the effective date of a Categorical Pretreatment Standard or the effective date of any local standard, or 180 days after the final administrative decision made upon a category determination submission under 40 CFR Section 403.6(a)(4), whichever is later, existing industrial users subject to such categorical pretreatment standards and/or local standards and currently discharging to or scheduled to discharge to a POTW shall submit to the Control Authority a report which contains the following information:
(1) The name and address of the facility including the name of the operator and owners;
(2) A list of any environmental control permits held by or for the facility;
(3) A brief description of the qualitative and quantitative nature of the regulated processes carried out by the industrial user;
(4) Wastewater flow measurement information;
(5) Pollutant identification, measurement and concentration information including specification of all pretreatment standards applicable to each regulated process; and
(6) Compliance schedules for meeting of applicable pretreatment standards, which shall conform to the requirements, conditions and time frames as set forth in Section 943.18(a)(9), and such other information as required to be submitted by 40 CFR Section 403.12(b)(1) through (b)(7), which Federal regulations are adopted and incorporated herein by reference.
(b) Compliance Reports. Any user subject to a National Categorical Standard or other Federal, State or local pretreatment standard set forth or incorporated in this chapter shall submit to the City as Control Authority within ninety days following the final compliance date for such pretreatment standard, or, in the case of a new user, within ninety days of the commencement of discharge to the City's sewage treatment system, a report indicating the nature and concentration of all prohibited or regulated substances in the discharge which are limited by the pretreatment standards made applicable by this chapter. This report shall include a record of all measured average and maximum daily flows during the reporting period, which flows shall be reported on the basis of actual measurement and shall also include such other information as may be required by the provisions of 40 CFR Section 403.12(b)(4) and 403.12(b)(5) and which provisions are incorporated herein by reference. For industrial users subject to equivalent mass or concentration limits established by the Control Authority, this report shall contain a reasonable measure of the user's long-term production rate. For all other industrial users subject to 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.
This report shall also state whether the applicable pretreatment standards are being complied with on a consistent basis and, if not, what additional operational and maintenance and/or pretreatment is necessary to bring the industrial user into compliance with pretreatment standards or requirements. Such statement shall be signed by an authorized representative of the industrial user as defined under subsection (h) hereof and shall also contain the certificate specified in such subsection.
(c) Periodic Reports on Continued Compliance. Any industrial user subject to a National Categorical Standard or other Federal, State or local pretreatment standard, as set forth or incorporated in this chapter shall, after the compliance date of such pretreatment standard, or, in the case of a new user, after commencement of the discharge into the City's sewage treatment system, submit to the City as Control Authority periodic reports on continuing compliance which shall be filed with the City during the months of June and December of every year, unless required more frequently in the pretreatment standard or by the Control Authority, which reports shall indicate the nature and concentration of all prohibited or regulated substances in the discharge which are limited by the pretreatment standards made applicable by this chapter. Further, this report shall include a record of all measured averaged and maximum daily flows during the reporting period for all discharges which are regulated by this chapter. Flows shall be reported on the basis of actual measurement. The City, for good cause shown, considering such factors as local high or low flow rates, holidays, budget cycles, or other extenuating factors, may authorize the submission of such periodic continuing compliance reports on months other than those hereinabove specified, but at a frequency of no less than two times per year. Where the City has imposed mass limitations on industrial users, in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR Section 403.6(d), the report required by this section shall indicate the mass of pollutants regulated by pretreatment standards in the discharge from the industrial user. For industrial users subject to equivalent mass or concentration limits established by the Control Authority in accordance with the procedures in Section 943.15
(f), the report required by this subsection shall contain a reasonable measure of the users long-term production rate. For all other industrial users subject to pretreatment standards expressed only in terms of allowable pollutant discharge per unit of production (or other measure of operation), the report required by this subsection shall include the user's actual average production rate for the reporting period. With regard to noncategorical industrial users not classified as significant industrial users under this chapter, the City as Control Authority may in its discretion prescribe and incorporate in any such industrial user's discharge permit a schedule for periodic reporting which may be less frequent than that required above in this chapter.
(d) Reports of users shall contain all results of sampling and analysis of the discharge, including the flow and the nature and concentration, or production and mass where required by the City. The frequency of monitoring by the user shall be as prescribed in the applicable pretreatment standard of this chapter.
All analysis shall be performed in accordance with 40 CFR, Part 136 and amendments thereto. Where 40 CFR, Part 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 EPA publication, "Sampling and Analysis Procedures for Screening of Industrial Effluents for Priority Pollutants", April, 1977, and amendments thereto, or with any other sampling and analytical procedures approved by the Administrator of the U.S. EPA.
(e) If an industrial user subject to the requirements of periodic reporting of continued compliance as set forth in subsection (c) hereof monitors any pollutant more frequently than required to be monitored by the City as Control Authority, using the procedures prescribed by subsection (d) hereof, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the periodic compliance report filed with the Control Authority.
(f) If sampling performed by an industrial user indicates a violation of this chapter, the user shall notify the Control Authority within twenty-four hours of becoming aware of the violation. The user shall also repeat the sampling and analysis and submit the results of the repeat analysis to the Control Authority within thirty days after becoming aware of the violation.
(g) All reports required by this section shall state whether the applicable pretreatment standards or requirements are being met on a consistent basis and, if not, what additional facilities and/or pretreatment is necessary to gain compliance with applicable pretreatment standards or requirements. If any additional pretreatment facilities, or operational or maintenance activities are needed, the report shall include the shortest schedule by which the user shall meet the requirements, conditions and time frames outlined in Section 943.18(a)(9).
(h) All reports required to be made by this section shall be certified and signed by a corporate president, secretary, treasurer, vice president or other responsible corporate officer as defined by 40 CFR 403.12(l)(1), which is hereby incorporated by reference, if the industrial user is a corporation; by a general partner or proprietor if the industrial user is a partnership or sole proprietorship; or by a duly authorized representative of the individuals previously described, provided such authorization is made in writing submitted to the City as Control Authority and clearly identifies the representative.
(1) Additionally, all reports required to be made under this section shall contain as a part thereof 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 who manage the system, or those 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."
