Significant noncompliance. The Plant Superintendent will provide at least annual public notification, in the area's largest newspaper, a list of significant industrial or non- domestic users which, during the previous 12 months, were in significant noncompliance of applicable pretreatment standards or other pre-treatment requirements and violations of this chapter. A SIGNIFICANT NONCOMPLIANCE is a violation which meets one or more of the following criteria:
(A) Chronic violations of wastewater discharge limits, defined here as those in which 66% or more of all of the measurements taken during a six-month period exceed, by any magnitude, the daily maximum limit or the average limit for the same pollutant parameter;
(B) TECHNICAL REVIEW CRITERIA (TRC) VIOLATIONS, defined as those in which 33% or more of all of the measurements for each pollutant parameter taken during a six-month period equal or exceed the product of the daily maximum limit or the average limit multiplied by the applicable TRC. The TRC equals 1.4 for BOD, TSS, fats, oil and grease and 1.2 for all other pollutants except pH;
(C) Any other discharge violation that the Superintendent believes has caused, alone or in combination with other discharges, interference or pass-through, including endangering the health of city personnel or the general public;

(E) Failure to meet, within 90 days of the schedule date, a compliance schedule milestone contained in a wastewater discharge permit or enforcement order for starting construction, completing construction, or attaining final compliance;
(F) Failure to provide, within 30 days after the due date, any required reports such as baseline monitoring reports, compliance monitoring reports, periodic self-monitoring reports, other reports as requested, and reports on compliance with compliance schedules;
