The Superintendent shall publish annually, in a newspaper of general circulation that provides meaningful public notice within the jurisdictions served by the POTW, a list of the users which, at any time during the previous 12 months, were in significant noncompliance with applicable pretreatment standards and requirements. The term “significant noncompliance” shall be applicable to all significant industrial users (or any other non-residential user that violates divisions (C), (D) or (H) of this section) and shall mean:
(A) Chronic violations of wastewater discharge limits, defined here as those in which 66% or more of all the measurements taken for the same pollutant parameter taken during a six-month period exceed (by any magnitude) a numeric pretreatment standard or requirement, including instantaneous limits as defined in §§ 55.015 through 55.024;
(B) Technical review criteria (TRC) violations, defined here as those in which 33% or more of wastewater measurements taken for each pollutant parameter during a six-month period equals or exceeds the product of the numeric pretreatment standard or requirement (including instantaneous limits as defined by §§ 55.015 through 55.024) multiplied by the applicable criterion value (the criterion value is 1.4 for BOD, TSS, fats, oils and grease; while the criterion value is 1.2 for all other pollutants except pH);
(C) Any other violation of a pretreatment standard or requirement as defined by §§ 55.015 through 55.024 (i.e., daily maximum, long-term average, instantaneous limit, or narrative standard) that the Superintendent determines has caused (either alone or in combination with other discharges) interference or pass through, including endangering the health of POTW personnel or the general public;
(D) Any discharge of a pollutant that has caused imminent endangerment to the public or to the environment, or has resulted in the exercise of the Superintendent’s emergency authority to halt or prevent such a discharge;
(E) Failure to meet, within 60 calendar days of the scheduled date, a compliance schedule milestone contained in an individual or general wastewater discharge permit or enforcement order for starting construction, completing construction, or attaining final compliance;
(F) Failure to provide within 30 calendar days after the due date, any required reports, including baseline monitoring reports, reports on compliance with categorical pretreatment standard deadlines, periodic self-monitoring reports, and reports on compliance with compliance schedules;
(G) Failure to accurately report noncompliance; or
(H) Any other violation(s), which may include a violation of best management practices, which the Superintendent determines will adversely affect the operation or implementation of the local pretreatment program.
