(A) Within 90 days following the date for final compliance with applicable pretreatment standards or, in the case of a new user, following commencement of the introduction of wastewater into the POTW, any user subject to federal categorical pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the Superintendent a report indicating the nature and concentration of all pollutants in the discharge from the regulated process or processes which are limited by categorical pretreatment standards and requirements and the average and maximum daily flow for these process units in the user's facility which are limited by the categorical standards and requirements. The report shall state whether the applicable categorical pretreatment standards and requirements are being met on a consistent basis and, if not, what additional pretreatment equipment and time schedule are necessary to bring the user into compliance with the applicable categorical standard or requirement. This statement shall be signed by an authorized representative of the user.
(B) (1) All significant industrial users shall submit to the Superintendent during the months of June and December, unless required more frequently by a pretreatment standard or the industrial user discharge permit, a report indicating the nature and concentration of pollutants in the effluent which are limited by the pretreatment standards or the industrial user discharge permit. In addition, this report shall include a record of all daily flows which during the reporting period exceed the average daily flow. 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.
(2) 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 pursuant to § 304(g) of the Act and contained in 40 C.F.R. § 136 and amendments thereto or with any other test procedures approved by the U.S. EPA. Sampling shall be performed in accordance with the techniques approved by the U.S. EPA.
(3) Where 40 C.F.R. § 136 does not include a sampling or analytical technique for the pollutant in question sampling and analysis shall be performed in accordance with the procedures set forth in the EPA publication "Sampling and Analysis Procedures for Screening of Industrial Effluents for Priority Pollutants," April 1977, and amendments thereto, or with any other sampling and analytical procedures approved by the U.S. EPA.
(4) All industrial users shall retain all pretreatment records for a minimum of 3 years, as required by 40 C.F.R. § 403.12(o)(2).
(C) (1) 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:
(a) Production data including a process description, SIC code number, raw materials used, chemicals used and final product(s) produced;
(b) Name of facility contact person;
(c) Wastewater characteristics such as total plant flow, types of discharges, average and maximum flows from each process;
(d) Nature and concentration of pollutants discharged to the public sewer system that are regulated by this chapter, state and/or federal pretreatment standards and sample type and location; and
(e) Information concerning any pretreatment equipment used to treat the facility's discharge.
(2) All new sources of industrial discharge must be in compliance with all provisions of this chapter prior to commencement of discharge.
