(A) 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 Superintendent 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 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 engineer.
(B) Periodic compliance reports.
(1) Any user subject to a pretreatment standard, after the compliance date of the pretreatment standard, or, in the case of a new source, after commencement of the discharge into the POTW, shall submit to the Superintendent during the months of June and December, unless required more frequently in the pretreatment standard or by the Superintendent, a report indicating the nature and concentration of pollutants in the effluents which are limited by the pretreatment standards. In addition, this report shall include a record of all daily flows which during the reporting period exceeded the average daily flow reported in § 51.089(A)(1)(e). At the discretion of the Superintendent and in consideration of such factors as local high or low flow rates, holidays, budget cycles, and the like, the Superintendent may agree to alter the months during which these reports are to be submitted.
(2) The Superintendent 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 (1) above shall indicate the mass of pollutants regulated by pretreatment standards in the effluents of the user.
(a) These reports shall contain the results of sampling and analysis of the discharge, including the flow and the nature and concentration, or production and mass where requested by the Superintendent, of pollutants contained therein which are limited by the applicable pretreatment standards.
(b) 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 Section 304 (g) of the Act and contained in 40 CFR, 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.
(C) Where 40 CFR, 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 Effluents for Priority Pollutants, April, 1977," and amendments thereto, or with any other sampling and analytical procedures approved by the administrator.
(D) (1) The Industrial User shall notify the POTW, the EPA Regional Waste Management Division Director and State hazardous waste authorities in writing of any discharge into the POTW of a substance, which if otherwise disposed of, would be a hazardous waste under 40 CFR part 261. Such notification must include the name of the hazardous waste as set forth in 40 CFR part 261, the EPA hazardous waste number and the type of discharge (continuous, patch or other). If the Industrial User discharges more than 100 kilograms of such waste per calendar month to the POTW, the notification shall also contain the following information to the extent such information is known and readily available to the Industrial User. An identification of the hazardous constituents contained in the wastes, an estimation of the mass and concentration of such constituents in the wastestreams discharged during that calendar month and an estimation of the mass of constituents in the wastestream expected to be discharged during the following 12 months. Industrial users who commence discharging after the effective date of this rule shall provide the notification prior to the dischargeof the listed or characteristic hazardous waste. Any notification under this paragraph need to be submitted only once for each hazardous waste discharged. However, notification of changed discharges must be submitted under 40 CFR 403.129(j). The notification required in this section does not apply to pollutants already reported under the self-monitoring requirements of 40 CFR 403.12(b), (d), and (e).
(2) In the case of any new regulation under section 3001 of the RCRA identifying additional characteristics of hazardous waste or listing any additional substance as a harzardous waste, the Industrial User must notify the POTW, the EPA Regional Waste Management Waste Division Direct and State hazardous waste authorities of the discharge of such substance within 90 days of the effective date of such regulations.
(3) In the case of any notification made under paragraph (c) of this section, the Industrial User shall certify that it has a program in place to reduce the volume and toxicity of hazardous waste generated to the degree it has determined to be economically practical.
(E) Minor contributors. On the anniversary date of the permit, the minor contributor shall report on his letterhead stationery to the publicly owned treatment works regarding the method for disposing of the minor contributor's wastes.
