(A) User records. Any user shall maintain and retain for three years all plan records as specified by the local government and afford the local government access thereto. These records include, but are not limited to, production records relating to wastewater discharges or compliance with the provisions of this subchapter, wastewater self-monitoring records, records related to compliance with pretreatment standards and other state and EPA required records. Upon request, any user shall submit notices of self-monitoring reports to the local government at the time intervals stated by the local government. Failure to maintain the records described herein, to provide access to same, or to submit notices of self-monitoring upon request shall constitute sufficient justification for permit revocation pursuant to § 52.99 of this chapter. Any user shall likewise allow local government and its agents to enter its premises to examine records of monitoring activities and results, which entry shall be reasonable and pursuant to safeguards established in § 52.65 of this chapter.
(B) Reporting requirements for permittee.
(1) Compliance date report. Within 90 days following the date for final compliance with applicable pretreatment standards or, in the case of a new source, following commencement of the introduction of wastewater into the POTW, any user subject to pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the Director a report indicating the nature and concentration of all pollutants in the discharge from the regulated process which are limited by pretreatment standards and requirements and the average and maximum daily flow for these process units in the user facility which are limited by such pretreatment standards or requirements. The report shall state whether the applicable pretreatment standards or requirements are being met on a consistent basis and, if not, what additional operation and maintenance and/or pretreatment is necessary to bring the user into compliance with the applicable pretreatment standards or requirements. This statement shall be signed by an authorized representative of the industrial user, and certified to by a qualified professional.
(2) Periodic compliance reports.
(a) Any user subject to a pretreatment standard, after the compliance date of such pretreatment standard or, in the case of a new source, after commencement of the discharge into the POTW, shall submit to the Director during the months of June and December, unless required more frequently in the pretreatment standard or by the Director, a report indicating the nature and concentration of pollutants in the effluent which are limited by such pretreatment standards. In addition, this report shall include a record of all daily flows which during the reporting period exceeded the average daily flow for which the user has a permit. At the discretion of the Director, and in consideration of such factors as local high or low flow rates, holidays, budget cycles and the like, the Director may agree to alter the months during which the above reports are to be submitted.
(b) The Director may impose mass limitations on users which are using dilution to meet applicable pretreatment standards or requirements, or in other cases where the imposition of mass limitations are appropriate. In such cases, the report required by division (B)(2)(a) above shall indicate the mass of pollutants regulated by pretreatment standards in the effluent of the user. These reports shall contain the results of sampling and analysis of the discharge, or production and mass where requested by the Director, of pollutants contained therein which are limited by the applicable pretreatment standards. The frequency of monitoring shall be prescribed in the applicable pretreatment standard. All analysis shall be performed in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator pursuant to § 304(g) of the Act, being 33 U.S.C. § 1314(g), and contained in 40 C.F.R. part 136 and amendments thereto or with any other test procedures approved by the Administrator. Sampling shall be performed in accordance with the techniques approved by the Administrator.

Editor’s note:
Where 40 C.F.R. 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 Effluent for Priority Pollutants,” April, 1977, and amendments thereto, or with any other sampling and analytical thereto, or with any other sampling and analytical procedures approved by the Administrator
