(A) Compliance date report. All categorical industrial users (CIU) must submit, within 90 days after the final date for compliance (or if a new source, following the commencement of the discharge) which contains flow and pollutant measurements, and a certification of whether pretreatment standards are being met consistently. A description of needed additional O & M or pretreatment must be provided, if standards are not met consistently. This statement shall be signed by an authorized representative of the discharger and certified by a qualified engineer licensed to practice in the state. Additionally, include certification statements as outlined in § 52.20 of this code.
(B) Periodic compliance reports.
(1) Any discharger subject to the pretreatment standards set forth in this subchapter, after the compliance date of such pretreatment standard, or, in the case of a new discharger, after commencement of the discharge to the authority, shall submit to the town and the authority during the months of June and December, unless required more frequently by the authority, a report indicating the nature and concentration, or prohibited or regulated substances in the effluent which are limited by the pretreatment standards hereof. In addition, this report shall include a record of all measured or estimated average and maximum daily flow rates during the reporting period reported in division (A) above. Flow shall be reported on the basis of actual measurements, provided, however, where cost or feasibility considerations justify, the authority may accept reports of average and maximum daily flows estimated by verifiable techniques. The Town Council, for good cause when considering such factors as local high or low flow rates, holidays, budget cycles or other extenuating factors may authorize the submission of said reports on months other than those specified above. Also, all IUs required to submit self-monitoring reports must notify the POTW within 24 hours of becoming aware of a violation. Furthermore, the IU is required to resample and submit the results of this resampling within 30 days.
(2) Reports of permittees shall contain all results of sampling and analysis of the discharge, including the flow and the nature and concentration, or production and mass where required by the authority. The frequency of monitoring by the discharger shall be as prescribed in the applicable pretreatment standards of this subchapter. All analyses shall be performed in accordance with 40 C.F.R. part 136 and amendments thereto. Where 40 C.F.R. part 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 Administrator of the U.S. EPA. All above mentioned reports must contain all of the proper signatory information and certification statements indicated in § 52.20 of this code.
(C) Notification requirements. Any SIU or other discharger must notify the control authority of any change in discharge characteristics, such as, flow rate changes and pollutant strength. The control authority reserves the right to deny or condition new or increased discharges or changes in the nature of the discharge when they do not meet applicable pretreatment standards and requirements or when it would cause the POTW to violate its NPDES permit. If the IU is permitted, then the control authority can revoke a permit if the above conditions are not met.
