(a) The POTW shall require the development of a compliance schedule by each Industrial User for the installation of technology required to meet applicable Pretreatment Standards and the submission of all notices and self-monitoring reports from Industrial Users as are necessary to assess and assure compliance by industrial users with Pretreatment Standards and Requirements.
(b) Periodic Compliance Report:
(1) Any User subject to a Pretreatment Standard set forth in this chapter, after the compliance date of such Pretreatment Standard, or, in the case of a New User, after commencement of the Discharge to the City, shall submit to the City during the months of June and December, unless required more frequently by the City, a report indicating the nature and concentration, of prohibited or regulated substances in the effluent which are limited by the Pretreatment Standards hereof.
Flows shall be reported on the basis of actual measurement, provided however, where cost or feasibility considerations justify, the City may accept reports of average and maximum flows estimated by verifiable techniques. The City, 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 such reports on months other than those specified above.
(2) Reports of Users shall contain all results of sampling and analysis of the discharge, including the flow and the nature and concentration, or production and mass where required by the City. The frequency of monitoring by the user shall be as prescribed in the applicable Pretreatment Standard of this Chapter. All analyses shall be performed in accordance with 40 CFR, Part 136 and amendments thereto.
(Comment: 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 of the USEPA.
(3) Reports shall state whether the applicable Pretreatment Standards or Requirements are being met on a consistent basis and, if not, what additional facilities and/or pretreatment is necessary to gain compliance with applicable Pretreatment Standards or Requirements.
(4) Reports of any type must be signed by a "Responsible Corporate Officer" or an authorized representative of that individual. "Responsible Corporate Officer" includes presidents, vice presidents, secretary, treasurer or the executive officer of the corporation in charge of a principal business function.
(5) It is required that the results of all sampling by Industrial Users be reported even if the industry samples more frequently than the POTW. The Industrial Users that self monitor are required to notify the POTW within twenty-four hours if any results of sampling violate applicable pretreatment limits. The Industrial Users must also repeat the sampling and analysis for those parameters in violation and resubmit the results within thirty days of becoming aware of the violation.
(6) Within ninety days following the date for final compliance with applicable pretreatment standards or in the case of a new source following the commencement of the introduction of wastewater into the POTW any industrial user subject to pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the City a report containing indentifying information on their operation, any permits that they presently have, a complete description of their operation, flow measurements, a complete report of all pollutants and certification from a corporate officer stating that the pretreatment standards are being met. For industrial users subject to equivalent mass or concentrations limits established by the City, this report shall contain a reasonable measure of the user's long term production rate. For all other industrial users subject to categorical pretreatment standards expressed in terms of allowable pollutant discharge per unit of production (or other measure of operation), this report shall include the user's actual production during the appropriate sampling period.
