928.11 COMPLIANCE REPORTS.

    (a)    Final Compliance Reports. Any industrial user subject to categorical pretreatment standards shall submit a report indicating whether the user has achieved compliance with these standards. This report is to be submitted to the Superintendent within 90 days following the date for final compliance with applicable categorical pretreatment standards, or in the case of a new source discharger, within 90 days following commencement of the introduction of wastewater into the WWTP. The following information shall be included:

      (1)    Measured average daily and maximum flows of regulated process streams and other nonregulated streams;

       (2)    Results of sampling and analysis of regulated pollutants from each regulated process. For pH, cyanide, total phenols, oil and grease, sulfide, and volatile organics a minimum of four (4) grab samples must be analyzed. For all other pollutants a minimum of one (1) 24 hour flow proportional composite sample must be obtained. Samples should be taken immediately downstream of pretreatment facilities if such exist or immediately downstream of regulated processes if no pretreatment facilities exist. The samples shall be representative of the daily operations;

       (3)    For industrial users subject to equivalent mass or concentration limits established by the Superintendent, this report shall include a reasonable measure of the user's long term production rate. For industrial users subject to production based standards, this report shall include the user's actual production during the appropriate sampling period;

       (4)    A statement indicating whether pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent basis, and if not, a statement indicating whether additional pretreatment or operation and maintenance will be required to meet the pretreatment standards. Where additional pretreatment and/or operation and maintenance activities will be required to comply with this chapter, the discharger shall provide a declaration of the shortest schedule by which the discharger will provide such additional pretreatment according to the conditions in Section 928.12; and,

        (5)    The certification statement signed by an authorized representative of the discharger as defined in Section 928.11(d).

   (b)   Periodic Compliance Reports. All industrial users shall submit periodic compliance reports indicating the nature and concentration of pollutants in their discharge. The frequency of monitoring and reporting shall be as prescribed in the industrial user's industrial discharge permit.

   If sampling performed by any industrial user indicates a violation, the user shall notify the City within 24 hours of becoming aware of the violation. The user shall repeat the sampling and analysis and submit the results within thirty (30) days after becoming aware of the violation. Results of sampling above the minimum required shall also be reported if analysis were conducted according to methodology in Section 928.11(c).

   These reports shall include the certification statement and shall be signed by an authorized representative of the discharger as defined in Section 928.11(d).

   (c)    Sampling and Analytical Methodology. All measurements, tests, and analysis shall be performed in accordance with procedures contained in 40 CFR 136 and amendments thereto. Where 40 CFR 136 does not include sampling or analytical techniques for the regulated pollutant(s), alternative procedures shall be approved by the Superintendent. All measurements, tests, and analyses of the characteristics of wastewater performed by an industrial user shall be at the user's expense.

   (d)   Signatory Requirements. All reports required under this section shall include the certification statement as follows:

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.

   The certification statement shall be signed by:

      (1)    A president, secretary, treasurer, or vice president of a corporation; or,

      (2)    A general partner or proprietor if the Industrial user is a partnership or sole proprietorship respectively; or,

       (3)    A duly authorized representative of the above if the authorization is previously made in writing to the Superintendent.
