(A) (1) All significant industrial users shall submit, to the Superintendent, every six months (on dates specified in the industrial user permit) unless required more frequently by the permit, a report indicating, at a minimum, the nature and concentration, of pollutants in the effluent which are limited by such pretreatment standards or discharge permit in addition, this report shall include a record of all daily flows which during the reporting period exceeded the average daily flow.
(2) 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 the above reports are to be submitted.
(B) All analyses shall be performed by a laboratory acceptable to the city. Analytical procedures shall be in accordance with procedures established by the U.S. EPA Administrator pursuant to § 304(g) of the Clean Water Act, being 33 U.S.C. §§ 1251 et seq. and contained in 40 C.F.R. part 136 and amendments thereto and 40 C.F.R. part 261 or with any other test procedures approved by the U.S. EPA Administrator.

(D) A baseline monitoring report (BMR) must be submitted to the Superintendent by all categorical industrial users at least 90 days prior to initiation of discharge to the sanitary sewer. The BMR must contain, at a minimum, the following:
(1) Production data: a process description, SIC code number, raw materials used, chemicals used, final product, pretreatment industrial category (if applicable), and a schematic which indicates points of discharge to the sewer system;
(2) Identifying information to include name, address of facility, owner(s), contact person and any other permits held by the facility;
(3) Waste water characteristics: total plant flow, types of discharges, average and maximum flows from each process;
(4) Nature/concentration of pollutants: analytical results for all pollutants regulated by this chapter and/or any applicable federal pretreatment standard and sample type and location. All analyses must conform with 40 C.F.R. part 136 and amendments thereto; and
(5) Information concerning any pretreatment equipment used to treat the facility’s discharge.
(E) New sources shall give estimates of the information requested in divisions (C) and (D) above, but at no time shall a new source commence discharge(s) to the public sewer of substances that do not meet provisions of this chapter. All new sources must be in compliance with all provisions of this chapter, state and federal pretreatment regulations prior to commencement of discharge to the public sewer.
