(A) Within either 180 days after the effective date of a categorical pretreatment standard, or the final administrative decision on a category determination under 40 C.F.R. § 403.6(a)(4), whichever is later, existing categorical users currently discharging to or scheduled to discharge to the POTW shall submit to the Wastewater Superintendent a report which contains the information listed in division (B) below. At least 90 days prior to commencement of their discharge, new sources and sources that become categorical users subsequent to the promulgation of an applicable categorical standard, shall submit to the Wastewater Superintendent a report which contains the information listed in division (B) below. A new source shall also be required to report the method of pretreatment it intends to use to meet applicable categorical standards. A new source shall also give estimates of its anticipated flow and quantity of pollutants to be discharged.
(B) Users described above shall submit the information set forth below:
(1) Identifying information. The name and address of the facility including the name of the operator and owner;
(2) Environmental permits. A list of any environmental control permits held by or for the facility;
(3) Description of operations. A brief description of the nature, average rate of production and standard industrial classifications of the operations) carried out by such user. This description should include a schematic process diagram which indicates points of discharge to the POTW from the regulated processes;
(4) Flow measurement. Information showing the measured average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the POTW from regulated process streams and other streams, as necessary, to allow use of the combined waste stream formula set out in 40 C.F.R. § 403.6(e);
(5) Measurement of pollutants.
(a) The categorical pretreatment standards applicable to each regulated process.
(b) The results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration and/or mass, where required by the standard or by the Wastewater Superintendent of regulated pollutants in the discharge from each regulated process. Instantaneous, daily maximum and long-term average concentrations, or mass, where required, shall be reported. The sample shall be representative of daily operations and shall be analyzed in accordance with procedures set out in § 52.101.
(c) Sampling must be performed in accordance with procedures set out in § 52.101.
(6) Certification. A statement reviewed by the user’s authorized representative and certified by a qualified professional, indicating whether pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent basis and, if not, whether additional operation and maintenance (O&M) and/or additional pretreatment is required to meet the pretreatment standards and requirements;
(7) Compliance schedule. If additional pretreatment and/or O&M will be required to meet the pretreatment standards, the shortest schedule by which the user will provide such additional pretreatment and/or O&M. The completion date established for the applicable pretreatment standard. A compliance schedule pursuant to this section must meet the requirements set out in § 52.091; and
(8) Signature and certification. All baseline monitoring reports must be signed and certified in accordance with § 52.056.
(1996 Code, § 168-32)
The following conditions shall apply to the schedule required by § 52.090(B)(7) of this chapter.
(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, and beginning and conducting routine operation).
(B) No increment referred to above shall exceed nine months.
(C) The user shall submit a progress report to the Wastewater Superintendent 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.
(D) In no event shall more than nine months elapse between such progress reports to the Wastewater Superintendent.
(1996 Code, § 168-33)
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 Superintendent a report containing the information described in § 52.090(B)(4) through (B)(6) of this chapter. 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 § 52.056.
(1996 Code, § 168-34)
(A) All significant industrial users shall, at a frequency determined by the Wastewater Superintendent 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 §§ 52.050 through 52.057.
(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.
(1996 Code, § 168-35)
Each user must notify the Wastewater Superintendent of any planned significant changes to the user’s operations or system which might alter the nature, quality or volume of its wastewater at least 90 days before the change.
(C) For purposes of this requirement, significant changes include, but are not limited to, monthly average flow increases of 10% or greater, and the discharge of any previously unreported pollutants.
(1996 Code, § 168-36)
