(A) Reporting requirements.
(1) Significant industrial users subject to categorical pretreatment standards shall submit to the City Manager a report, as required in 40 C.F.R. § 403.12(e), indicating the nature and concentration of prohibited or regulated substances in the effluent. The reports shall be submitted for the six-month periods of January through June and July through December. Reports are due within 30 days of the end of the reporting period. If the sampling performed indicates a violation, the user shall notify the City Manager immediately upon becoming aware of the violation. At a minimum, the SIU shall also repeat the sampling and analysis and submit the results of the repeat analysis to the City Manager within 30 days after becoming aware of the violation. In cases where the pretreatment standard requires compliance with a best management practice or pollution prevention alternative, the user must submit documentation required by the City Manager or the pretreatment standard necessary to determine the compliance status of the SIU. In addition, this report shall include a record of all measured or estimated average and maximum daily flows which during the reporting period exceeded the average daily flow reported in § 2.50(A)(5) hereof. Flows shall be reported on the basis of actual measurement provided, however, where cost or feasibility considerations justify, the City Manager may accept reports of average and maximum flows estimated by verifiable techniques. The City Manager, 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 said reports on months other than those specified above.
(2) Significant industrial users with discharges that are not subject to federal categorical pretreatment standards but are subject to local limits shall follow the same sampling and reporting requirements as in division (A)(1) above.
(B) Contents of reports. Reports of permittees shall contain all results of sampling and analysis of the discharge, including the flow, nature, concentration, production and/or mass, where required by the City Manager. Reports required in discharge permits will be accepted in an electronically submitted format only through an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR) system compliant with 40 C.F.R. part 3. CROMERR is an EPA approved system allowing states, tribes and local governments that receive or plan to begin receiving electronic documents in lieu of paper documents to satisfy regulations under an authorized program.
