(a) Industrial dischargers regulated by the National Categorical Pretreatment Standards shall submit a compliance report to the Authority during the months of June and December, unless required more frequently in the Standards or by the Authority.
(1) This report shall include the nature and concentration of prohibited or regulated substances in the effluent.
(2) This report shall also include a record of all measured or estimated average and maximum daily flows.
(3) All analyses shall be performed by or for the discharger in accordance with 40 CFR Part 136 and amendments.
(4) Where 40 CFR Part 136 does not include an analytical technique for the pollutant in question, sampling and analysis shall be performed in accordance with the EPA publication Sampling and Analysis Procedures for Screening of Industrial Effluents for Priority Pollutants and amendments thereto, or by any other procedures approved by the U.S. EPA at the discretion of the Authority.
(5) In consideration of such factors as local high or low flow rates, holidays, budget cycles, etc., the Authority may alter the months during which the reports are to be submitted.
(b) Any industrial discharger shall, if required by the Authority, submit to the Authority a quarterly report indicating the nature and concentration of all substances prohibited or regulated by this chapter, or by the National Categorical Pretreatment Standards, that are contained in its discharge and the average and maximum daily flows.
(c) All industrial users who discharge or propose to discharge wastewaters to the wastewater treatment system shall maintain such records of production and related factors, effluent flows and pollutants as are necessary to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of any applicable State or Federal pretreatment standards or requirements.
(d) Such records shall be made available upon request by the Authority. All such records relating to compliance with pretreatment standards shall be made available to officials of the U.S. EPA.
(e) All dischargers subject to this chapter shall retain, for no less than three years, any records, documents, reports and correspondence, and any summaries thereof, relating to monitoring, sampling and analysis made by or for the discharger in connection with its discharge. All records which pertain to matters subject to administrative adjustment or other enforcement or litigation activities brought by the Authority pursuant hereto shall be retained by the discharger until all enforcement activities have concluded and all periods of limitation with respect to any appeals have expired.
(f) In the event that any substance or waste, the discharge of which is prohibited by Section 1043.07(f), is discharged to the sewerage system, the person responsible for the discharge shall notify the Authority immediately so that remedial action can be taken.
(1) All costs to correct any damage resulting from the discharge shall be charged to the person responsible for the discharge.
(2) Each such discharge shall be considered separately and costs shall be levied accordingly.
(3) Failure to report such discharge or to take corrective measures necessary to prevent a subsequent noncomplying discharge, after being notified by the Authority to do so and being given a reasonable time in which to take such measures, shall result in the sewer through which the discharge enters the public sewer being disconnected.
(4) Said sewer will not be reconnected until, in the opinion of the Authority, proper corrective measures have been implemented.
