(A) Providing report. Within 180 days after the effective date of a categorical pretreatment standard, or 180 days after the final administrative decision made upon a category determination request, or 90 days prior to the commencement of discharge in the case of a new source, the industrial user shall submit a baseline monitoring report, in accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 403.12(b) and R 323.2310(2) MAC, for any discharge subject to federal categorical pretreatment standards and requirements signed by an authorized representative.
(B) Ninety-day report on compliance with federal categorical standards. Within 90 days following the date for final compliance with applicable federal categorical pretreatment standards, or in the case of a new source following the commencement of the introduction of wastewater into the POTW, any discharger subject to federal categorical pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit a report in accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 403.12(d) and R 323.2310(3) MAC signed by an authorized representative.
(C) Significant non-categorical user compliance report. For dischargers who are not subject to categorical pretreatment standards, but discharge or have the potential to discharge substances which could adversely affect the POTW’s operation, or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, a report is to be submitted 30 days following the commencement of discharge and every six months thereafter to the City Manager. The report shall specify the nature and concentration of all prohibited or regulated substances contained in their discharge as set forth in 40 C.F.R. § 403.12(h) and R 323.2310(7) MAC and the average and maximum daily flow in gallons. The report shall state whether the requirements are being met on a consistent basis and, if additional pretreatment is necessary, to bring the discharge into compliance with the requirements. This statement shall be signed by an authorized representative, as set forth in 40 C.F.R. § 403.12(l) and R 323.2310(11) MAC, of the discharger and certified to by a state licensed professional engineer.
(D) Hazardous waste notification.
(1) Any industrial or commercial user, except as specified in division (E) below, who discharges any substance to the POTW which, if otherwise disposed of, would be a listed or characteristic hazardous waste under 40 C.F.R. part 261, shall notify the POTW, the EPA Regional Waste Management Division Director and the state hazardous waste authorities as set forth in 40 C.F.R. § 403.12(p) and R 323.2310(15) of the MAC in writing of such discharge.
(2) All hazardous waste notifications shall include:
(a) The name of the hazardous waste as set forth in 40 C.F.R. part 261;
(b) The EPA hazardous waste number;
(c) The type of discharge (continuous, batch or other); and
(d) A certification that the user has a program in place to reduce the volume and toxicity of hazardous wastes generated to the degree it has determined to be economically practical.
(3) In addition to the information submitted in division (D)(2) above, the reports from industrial and commercial users discharging more than 100 kilograms of hazardous waste per calendar month to the POTW shall contain the following information:
(a) An identification of the hazardous constituents contained in the waste;
(b) An estimation of the mass and concentration of such constituents in the waste stream discharged during that calendar month; and
(c) An estimation of the mass of constituents in the waste stream expected to be discharged during the following 12 months.
(4) Hazardous waste notifications shall be submitted no later than 30 days after the effective date of this chapter or prior to the discharge of listed or characteristic hazardous waste for discharges commencing after the effective date of this chapter, as required in § 2.51. Any notification under this provision need be submitted only once for each hazardous waste discharged, although notifications of changed discharge must be submitted under § 2.51 of this chapter. This section does not apply to pollutants already reported as part of a significant industrial user discharge permit self-monitoring requirement.
(5) Industrial and commercial users are exempt from the hazardous waste notification requirement when they discharge 15 kilograms or less of non-acute hazardous wastes per calendar month. Discharge of any quantity of acutely hazardous waste as specified in 40 C.F.R. §§ 261.30(d) and 261.33(e) requires a one-time notification.
(6) In the case of any new regulations under § 3001 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, being 42 U.S.C. § 6921 identifying additional characteristics of hazardous waste, the industrial user must notify the POTW, the EPA regional waste management division Director, and the state hazardous waste authorities of the discharge of such substance within 90 days of the effective date of the regulations.
