The following conditions shall apply to the compliance schedule required by § 51.221(B)(7):
(A) The schedule shall contain progress increments in the form of dates for the commencement and completion of major events leading to the construction and operation of additional pretreatment required for the user to meet the applicable pretreatment standards (such events include, but are not limited to, hiring an engineer, completing preliminary and final plans, executing contracts for major components, commencing and completing construction, project status reports, beginning operation, and attain compliance);
(B) No increment referred to above shall exceed nine months; and
(C) The user shall submit a progress report to the Wastewater Utility Manager no later than 14 days following each date in the schedule and the final date of compliance including, as a minimum, whether or not it complied with the increment of progress, the reason for any delay, and, if appropriate, the steps being taken by the user to return to the established schedule.
(Ord. 2008-38, passed 12-10-08; Ord. 2019-25, passed on 5-13-2020)
Within 90 days following the date for final compliance with applicable categorical pretreatment standards, or in the case of a new source following commencement of the introduction of wastewater into the POTW, any user subject to such pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the Wastewater Utility Manager a report containing the information described in § 51.221(B)(4) through (B)(6) and all applicable state and federal rules, laws, and regulations. For users subject to equivalent mass or concentration limits established in accordance with the procedures in 40 C.F.R. § 403.6(c), this report shall contain a reasonable measure of the user’s long-term production rate. For all other 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. All compliance reports must be signed and certified in accordance with § 51.186 or, if the permit is issued by IDEM, in accordance with applicable state and federal rules, laws, and regulations.
(Ord. 2008-38, passed 12-10-2008; Ord. 2019-25, passed on 5-13-2020)
(A) All significant industrial users shall, at a frequency determined by the Wastewater Utility Manager, but in no case less than twice per year (in June and December), submit a report indicating the nature and concentration of pollutants in the discharge which are limited by pretreatment standards and the measured or estimated average and maximum daily flows for the reporting period. All periodic compliance reports must be signed and certified in accordance with § 51.186.
(B) All wastewater samples must be representative of the user’s discharge. Wastewater monitoring and flow measurement facilities shall be properly operated, kept clean, and maintained in good working order at all times. The failure of a user to keep its monitoring facility in good working order shall not be grounds for the user to claim that sample results are unrepresentative of its discharge.
(C) If a user subject to the reporting requirement in this section monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by the Wastewater Utility Manager, using the procedures prescribed in § 51.231, the results of this monitoring shall be included in the report.
(D) If the permit is issued by IDEM, a periodic compliance report shall be completed and submitted in accordance with permit conditions.
(Ord. 2008-38, passed 12-10-2008; Ord. 2019-25, passed on 5-13-2020)
(A) All discharges authorized by the applicable pretreatment permit shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of that permit.
(B) The discharge of any pollutant identified in the applicable permit more frequently than or at a level in excess of that authorized shall constitute a violation of the permit.
(C) Any anticipated facility expansions, production increases, or process modifications which will result in new, different, or increased discharges of pollutants must be reported by the submittal of a new permit application at least 180 days prior to a planned expansion or modification or, if such changes will not violate the effluent limitations specified in this permit, by notice to the Wastewater Utility Manager of such changes.
(D) The Wastewater Utility Manager may require the user to submit such additional information as may be deemed necessary to evaluate the changed condition.
(Ord. 2008-38, passed 12-10-2008; Ord. 2019-25, passed on 5-13-2020)
(A) In the case of any discharge, including, but not limited to, accidental discharges, discharges of a nonroutine, episodic nature, a noncustomary batch discharge, or a slug load, that may cause potential problems for the POTW, the user shall immediately telephone and notify the Wastewater Utility Manager of the incident. This notification shall include the location of the discharge, type of waste, concentration and volume, and corrective actions taken by the user.
(B) Within five days following such discharge, the user shall, unless waived by the Wastewater Utility Manager, submit a detailed written report describing the cause(s) of the discharge and the measures to be taken by the user to prevent similar future occurrences. Such notification shall not relieve the user of any expense, loss, damage, or other liability which may be incurred as a result of damage to the POTW, natural resources, or any other damage to person or property; nor shall such notification relieve the user of any fines, penalties, or other liability which may be imposed pursuant to this subchapter.
(C) A notice shall be permanently posted on the user’s bulletin board or other prominent place advising employees whom to call in the event of a discharge described in division (A) above. Employers shall ensure that all employees, who may cause such a discharge to occur, are advised of the emergency notification procedure.
(Ord. 2008-38, passed 12-10-2008; Ord. 2019-25, passed on 5-13-2020)
(A) If sampling performed by a user indicates an effluent limitation violation, the user must notify the Wastewater Utility Manager within 24 hours of becoming aware of the violation. The user must also immediately repeat the sampling and analysis. The user shall continue to collect and analyze samples, at a frequency determined by the Wastewater Utility Manager, until such time that the facility has returned to compliance. The user shall submit the results of the initial and any repeated analysis to the Wastewater Utility Manager within 30 days after becoming aware of the initial violation or at a deadline established by the Wastewater Utility Manager.
(B) When the user has continued violations that exceed two monitoring periods, the user shall provide a compliance update to the Wastewater Utility Manager every 15 days. Any samples collected by the Wastewater Utility Manager does not limit the user’s responsibility to comply with this provision. Additional monitoring as part of post violation monitoring shall not be utilized to fulfill routine monitoring required in any discharge permit.
