(A) To establish a feasible surveillance schedule, the following classes of significant industrial users are formed:
Class | Qualification | Minimum Surveillance Schedule
|
A | Flow of 100,000 gallons per day (0.1 MGD) or more per average work day. | Quarterly |
B | Flow of 0.025 MGD to 0.1 MGD per average work day or discharge with constituents or characteristics that result in a significant industrial user classification. | Twice annually |
(B) The surveillance period normally will be for a period of seven consecutive days and consist of three 24-hour composite and/or three grab samples as applicable for the discharge characteristics of interest, but can be of longer or shorter duration at the discretion of the Town Council or Superintendent, and shall occur with or without prior notification to the user. In cases where the surveillance period extends for more than seven consecutive days, the town shall have the prerogative of selecting seven consecutive days of its choice for establishing rates and charges as provided for in this chapter.
(C) Users that hold an Industrial Wastewater Pretreatment (IWP) permit issued by the State of Indiana shall be subject to town surveillance in addition to the self-monitoring and reporting requirements of the IWP permit. Historical compliance or non-compliance with both the IWP and the town's limitations upon discharge may decrease or increase the frequency with which town surveillance may occur as deemed necessary by the Town Manager and/or Wastewater Superintendent.
