(A) Industrial users subject to national categorical pretreatment standard shall submit baseline reports to the POTW in a form prescribed and furnished by the POTW. The report may utilize data only, so long as the data provides information, sufficient to determine the need for industrial pretreatment measures.
(B) Within 180 days after the effective date of the national categorical pretreatment standard, or 180 days after a final administrative decision has been made upon a categorical determination submission in accordance with 40 CFR § 403.6(a)(4), whichever is later, industrial users which are existing sources subject to such national categorical pretreatment standards and currently discharge to the POTW shall submit a properly completed baseline report.
(C) Under 40 CFR Part 403.12(b), new sources, and sources that become categorical users subsequent to the promulgation of an applicable categorical standard, shall submit to the designated city official at least ninety 90 days before commencement of their discharging, a report which contains the information contained in 40 CFR part 403.12 (b)(l)-(5). In addition, the report should indicate the time, date, and place of sampling and method of analysis. The report shall certify that sampling and. analysis represents normal work cycles and expected pollutant discharges to the POTW. The sampling and analysis shall be performed in accordance with the techniques prescribed in 40 CFR Part 136 and amendments thereto. 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.
(D) In support of the baseline report, the industrial user shall submit, in units and terms specified in the application, the following information:
(1) Name and address of the facility including the name of operator and owner;
(2) List of any environmental control permits held by or for the facility;
(3) Brief description of the nature, average rate of production, and standard industrial classification of the operation(s) carried out by such user. This description shall include a schematic process diagram indicating points of discharge to the POTW from the regulated processes;
(4) Information showing the measured average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallon per day, to the POTW from each of the following:
(a) Regulated process streams; and
(b) Other streams as necessary to allow use of the combined waste stream formula of 40 CFR § 403.6(e);
(5) The industrial user shall identify the national categorical pretreatment standards applicable to each regulated process, and shall:
(a) 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 concentrations shall be reported. The sample shall be representative of daily operations. This portion of the baseline report must also include concentrations or masses of pollutants, or both, as appropriate, as well as documentation of BMP implementation that may be requires as part of the local limits. See 403.12(b)(5)(h);
(b) A minimum of four grab samples must be used for pH, cyanide, total phenols, oil and grease, sulfide, and volatile organics. For all other pollutants, 24 hour composite samples must be obtained through flow proportional composite sampling techniques where feasible. The control authority may waive flow proportional composite sampling for any industrial user that demonstrates the flow proportional sampling is infeasible. In such cases samples may be obtained through time proportional composite sampling techniques or through a minimum of four grab samples where the user demonstrates that this will provide a representative sample of the effluent being discharged;
(c) The user shall take a minimum of one representative sample to compile the data necessary to comply with the requirements of this division;
(d) Samples should, be taken immediately downstream from pretreatment facilities, if such exist, 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 of § 403.6(e) to evaluate compliance with the pretreatment standards. When an alternate concentration or mass limit has been calculated, in accordance with § 403.6(e), this adjusted limit along with supporting data shall be submitted to the POTW;
(6) The industrial user shall provide a statement, reviewed by an authorized representative of the industrial user and certified by a qualified professional, indicating whether national categorical pretreatment standards, prohibited discharge standards, local limits, and state and local law are being met on a consistent basis and, if not, whether additional pretreatment or O&M is required for the industrial user to meet the national categorical pretreatment standards, local limits, and state and local law;
(7) If additional pretreatment or O&M will be required to meet the national categorical pretreatment standards, the industrial user will develop and submit a compliance schedule for selection and installation of adequate technology and equipment. The industrial user will provide the shortest schedule which will provide such additional pretreatment or O&M by the compliance date established for the applicable national categorical pretreatment standard.
(a) Where the industrial user’s categorical pretreatment standard has been modified by a removal allowance (§ 403.7), the combined wastestream formula (§ 403.6(e)), and/or a fundamentally different factors variance (§ 403.13) at the time the user submits the report required by division (D)(7)(b) of this section, the information required by § 52.175(D)(6) and (7) shall pertain to the modified limits.
(b) If the national categorical pretreatment standard for the industrial user is modified after the baseline report is submitted, the industrial user shall make any necessary amendments to information provided as a response to divisions (D)(6 ) and (7) of this section and submit them to the POTW within 60 days after the modified limit is approved.
(8) The following conditions shall apply to any schedule submitted in response to § 52.175(D)(7):
(a) The schedule shall contain increments of progress 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 national categorical pretreatment standards (e.g., hiring an engineer, completing final plans, commencing construction, completing construction, and the like).
(b) No increment referred to in § 52.175(D)(8)(a) shall exceed nine months.
(c) Not later than 14 days following each date in the schedule and the final date for compliance, the User shall submit a progress report to the POTW including, at a minimum, whether or not it complied with the date and, if not, the date on which it expects to comply with this increment of progress, the reason for delay, and the steps being taken by the Industrial User to return the construction to the schedule established. In no event shall more than nine months elapse between such progress reports to the POTW.
(9) Such other information as may be reasonable requested, by the POTW.
