All Industrial Users, including new sources, which are subject to categorical pretreatment standards shall submit baseline monitoring report ("BMRs") to the Plant Manager. These reports shall supply basic information to identify the Industrial User, the characteristics of the User's discharge and the compliance status.
A BMR must contain the following information:
(a) Name and address of the facility, including names of operator(s) and owner(s).
(b) List of all environmental control permits held by or for the facility.
(c) Brief description of the nature, average production rate, and SIC code for each of the operation(s) conducted, including a schematic process diagram which indicates points of discharge from the regulated process to the POTW.
(d) Flow measurement information for regulated process streams discharged to the Municipal system. Flow measurements of other wastestreams will be necessary if application of the combined wastestream formula is necessary.
(e) Identification of the pretreatment standards applicable to each regulated process and results of measurements of pollutant concentrations and/or mass. All samples must be representative of daily operations and results reported must include values for daily maximum and average concentration (or mass, where required). Where the flow of the regulated stream being sampled is less than or equal to 250,000 gallons per day, the Industrial User must take six samples within a two-week period. Where the flow of the stream is greater than 250,000 gallons per day, the Industrial User must take six samples within a two-week period. If samples cannot be taken immediately downstream from the regulated process and other wastewaters are mixed with the regulated process, the Industrial User should measure flows and concentrations of the other wastestreams sufficient to allow use of the combined wastestream formula.
(f) Statement of certification concerning compliance or noncompliance with the Pretreatment Standards.
(g) If not in compliance, a compliance schedule must be submitted with the BMR that describes the actions the user will take and a timetable for completing those actions to achieve compliance with the standard. This compliance schedule must contain specific increments of progress in the form of dates for the commencement and completion of major events, however, no increment of the schedule shall exceed nine months. Within fourteen days of each completion date in the schedule, the Industrial User shall submit a progress report to the City indicating whether or not it complied with the increment of progress to be met on such date, and, if not, the date on which it expects to comply with this increment of progress and the steps being taken to return to the schedule.
(h) The baseline monitoring report does not apply to discharges not covered by categorical standards.
(i) Industrial Users shall submit BMRs to the Plant Manager within 180 days after the effective date on the applicable categorical standard, or within 180 days after the final decision on a category determination request, whichever is later.
(j) New sources, and existing sources that become Industrial Users subsequent to the promulgation of an applicable categorical standard, shall submit a baseline monitoring report at least ninety days prior to commencement of the facility's discharge to a POTW. New sources may provide estimates for the information on production, flow, and the presence and quantity of regulated pollutants in its wastestream.
(k) New sources shall also provide information on the pretreatment equipment the new source proposes to install to meet applicable discharge limits.
