(A) (1) All significant industrial users shall submit to the Pretreatment Coordinator, every six (6) months unless required more frequently by the industrial user permit (or on dates specified in the permit), a report indicating, at a minimum, the nature and concentration of pollutants in the effluent which are limited by such Pretreatment Standards or the discharge permit and information and compliance status with regard to Best Management Practices. In addition, the Pretreatment Coordinator may require the submittal on the report of a record of all daily flows which during the reporting period exceeded the average daily flow. At the discretion of the Pretreatment Coordinator and in consideration of such factors as local high or low flow rates, holidays, budget cycles, and the like, the Pretreatment Coordinator may agree to alter the months during which the above reports are to be submitted.
(2) In lieu of the significant industrial user, the city may conduct the monitoring required by the user’s industrial user permit. In such cases, the significant industrial user shall not be required to monitor or report to the city the analytical results from the monitoring conducted by the city.
(B) (1) All analyses shall be performed by a laboratory certified by the Kentucky Division of Water and acceptable to the city. Analytical procedures shall be in accordance with procedures established by the U.S. EPA Administrator pursuant to § 304 (g) of the Act and contained in 40 CFR, Part 136 and amendments thereto and 40 CFR 261 or with any other test procedures approved by the U.S. EPA Administrator. Sampling shall be performed in accordance with the techniques approved by the U.S. EPA Administrator.
(2) Samples collected to satisfy reporting requirements must be based on data obtained through appropriate sampling and analysis performed during the period covered by the report.
(C) Where 40 CFR Part 136 does not include a sampling or analytical technique for the pollutant(s) 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 Administrator.
(D) A Baseline Monitoring Report (BMR) must be submitted to the Pretreatment Coordinator by all categorical industrial users at least ninety (90) days prior to initiation of discharge to the sanitary sewer. Submittal of the permit application required by the city shall also satisfy this requirement. The BMR or Permit Application must contain, at a minimum, the following:
(1) Production data: a process description, SIC code number, raw materials used, chemicals used, final product, pretreatment industrial category (if applicable), and a schematic which indicates points of discharge to the sewer system.
(2) Identifying information to include name, address of facility, owner(s), contact person and any other permits held by the facility.
(3) Wastewater characteristics: total plant flow, types of discharges, average and maximum flows from each process.
(4) Nature/Concentration of pollutants: analytical results for all pollutants regulated by this chapter and/or any applicable federal pretreatment standard and sample type and location. All analyses must conform with 40 CFR Part 136 and amendments thereto.
(5) Information concerning any pretreatment equipment used to treat the facility’s discharge.
(E) New sources shall give estimates of the information requested in divisions (D)(3) and (4) of this section, but at no time shall a new source commence discharge(s) to the public sewer of substances that do not meet provisions of this chapter. All new sources must be in compliance with all provisions of this chapter, State and federal pretreatment regulations prior to commencement of discharge to the public sewer.
