A. Baseline Monitoring Reports: Within one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of a categorical pretreatment standard, or one hundred eighty (180) days after the final administrative decision made upon a category determination submission under 40 CFR 403.6(a)(4), whichever is later, existing industrial users subject to such categorical pretreatment standards and currently discharging to or scheduled to discharge to the POTW shall be required to submit to the director of public works a report which contains the information listed in subsections A1 through A7 of this section. If reports containing this information already have been submitted to the RWQCB or the regional administrator in compliance with the requirement of 40 CFR 128.140(b) (1977), the industrial user shall not be required to submit this information again. However, the industrial user shall provide the director of public works with a copy of such report along with written verification from the RWQCB that such report items have been received by the RWQCB. At least ninety (90) days prior to commencement of discharge, new sources and sources that become industrial users subsequent to the promulgation of an applicable categorical standard, shall be required to submit to the city a report which contains the information listed in subsections A1 through A5 of this section. New sources shall also be required to include in this report information on the method of pretreatment the source intends to use to meet applicable pretreatment standards. New sources shall give estimates of the information requested in subsections A4 and A5 of this section.
1. Identifying Information: The user shall submit the name and address of the facility including the name of the operator and owners;
2. Permits: The user shall submit a list of any environmental control permits held by or for the facility;
3. Description Of Operations: The user shall submit a brief description of the nature, average rate of production, and standard industrial classification of the operation(s) carried out by such industrial user. This description should include a schematic process diagram which indicates points of discharge to the POTW from the regulated processes;
4. Flow Measurement: The user shall submit information showing the measured average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the POTW from each of the following:
a. Regulated process streams; and
b. Other streams as necessary to allow use of the combined waste stream formula of 40 CFR 403.6(e). (See subsection A5 of this section.) The director of public works may allow for verifiable estimates of these flows where justified by cost or feasibility considerations.
5. Measurement Of Pollutants:
a. The user shall identify the pretreatment standards applicable to each regulated process.
b. In addition, the user shall submit the results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration (or mass, where required by the standard or director of public works) of regulated pollutants in the discharge from each regulated process. Both daily maximum and average concentration (or mass, where required) shall be reported. The sample shall be representative of daily operations.
c. The user shall take a minimum of one representative sample to compile the data necessary to comply with the requirements of this subsection A5.
d. Samples should be taken immediately downstream from pretreatment facilities, if such exist, or immediately downstream from the regulated process if no pretreatment exists. If other wastewaters are mixed with the regulated wastewater prior to pretreatment, the user should measure the flows and concentrations necessary to allow use of the combined waste stream formula of 40 CFR 403.6(e) in order to evaluate compliance with the pretreatment standards. Where an alternate concentration or mass limit has been calculated in accordance with 40 CFR 403.6(e) this adjusted limit along with the supporting data shall be submitted to the director of public works.
e. The director of public works may allow the submission of a baseline report which utilizes only historical data so long as the data provides information sufficient to determine the need for industrial pretreatment measures.
f. The baseline report shall indicate the time, date and place, of sampling, and methods of analysis, and shall certify that such sampling and analysis is representative of normal work cycles and expected pollutant discharges to the POTW.
6. Certification: The user shall submit a statement, reviewed by an authorized representative of the industrial user and certified to by a qualified professional, indicating whether pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent basis, and, if not, whether additional operation and maintenance (O&M) and/or additional pretreatment is required for the industrial user to meet the pretreatment standards and requirements.
7. Compliance Schedule: If additional pretreatment and/or O&M will be required to meet the pretreatment standards, the user shall submit the shortest schedule by which the industrial user will provide such additional pretreatment and/or O&M. The completion date in this schedule shall not be later than the compliance date established for the applicable pretreatment standard.
a. Where the industrial user's categorical pretreatment standard has been modified by a removal allowance (40 CFR 403.7), the combined waste stream formula (40 CFR 403.6(e)), and/or a fundamentally different factors variance (40 CFR 403.13) at the time the user submits the report required by subsection B of this section, the information required by subsection A6 of this section and this subsection A7 shall pertain to the modified limits.
b. If the categorical pretreatment standards are modified by a removal allowance (40 CFR 403.7), the combined waste stream formula (40 CFR 403.6(e)), and/or a fundamentally different factors variance (40 CFR 403.13) after the user submits the report required by this subsection A, any necessary amendment to the information requested by subsection A6 of this section and this subsection A7 shall be submitted by the user to the director of public works within sixty (60) days after the modified limit is approved.
8. Signatures And Certification Required: All baseline monitoring reports must be signed and certified in accordance with section 8-2-7-6 of this chapter.
B. Compliance Schedule For Meeting Categorical Pretreatment Standards: The following conditions apply to the compliance schedule required by subsection A7 of this section:
1. The schedule shall contain progress increments in the form of dates for the commencement and completion of major events leading to the construction and operation of additional pretreatment required for the user to meet the applicable categorical pretreatment standards (such events include, but are not limited to, hiring an engineer, completing preliminary and final plans, executing contracts for major components, commencing and completing construction, and beginning and conducting routine operation, etc.).
2. No increment referred to above shall exceed nine (9) months.
3. Not later than fourteen (14) days following each date in the schedule and the final date for compliance, the industrial user shall submit a progress report to the director of public works including, at a minimum, whether or not it complied with the increment of progress to be met on such date and, if not, the date on which it expects to comply with this increment of progress, the reason for delay, and the steps being taken by the industrial user to return the construction to the schedule established. In no event shall more than nine (9) months elapse between such progress reports to the director of public works.
C. Report On Compliance With Categorical Pretreatment Standard Deadline:
1. Within ninety (90) days following the date for final compliance with applicable categorical pretreatment standards or in the case of a new source following commencement of the introduction of wastewater into the POTW, any industrial user subject to pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the director of public works a report containing the information described in subsections A4 through A6 of this section.
2. For industrial users subject to equivalent mass or concentration limits established by the city in accordance with the procedures in 40 CFR 403.6(c), this report shall contain a reasonable measure of the user's long term production rate.
3. For all other industrial users subject to categorical pretreatment standards expressed in terms of allowable pollutant discharge per unit of production (or other measure of operation), this report shall include the user's actual production during the appropriate sampling period.
4. All compliance reports must be signed and certified in accordance with section 8-2-7-6 of this chapter.
D. Periodic Reports On Continued Compliance:
1. Any industrial user subject to a categorical pretreatment standard, after the compliance date of such pretreatment standard, or, in the case of a new source, after commencement of the discharge into the POTW, shall submit to the director of public works during the months of June and December of each year, unless required more frequently in the pretreatment standard or by the director of public works or the approval authority, a report indicating the nature and concentration of pollutants in the effluent which are limited by such categorical pretreatment standards. In addition, this report shall include a record of measured or estimated average and maximum daily flows for the reporting period for the discharge reported in subsection A4 of this section except that the director of public works may require more detailed reporting of flows. At the discretion of the director of public works and in consideration of such factors as local high or low flow rates, holidays, budget cycles, etc., the director of public works may agree to alter the months during which above reports are to be submitted.
2. Where the director of public works has imposed mass limitations on industrial users as provided for by 40 CFR 403.6(d), the report required by subsection D1 of this section shall indicate the mass of pollutants regulated by pretreatment standards in the discharge from the industrial user.
3. For industrial users subject to equivalent mass or concentration limits established by the city in accordance with 40 CFR 403.6(c), the report required by subsection D1 of this section shall contain a reasonable measure of the user's long term production rate. For all other industrial users subject to categorical pretreatment standards expressed only in terms of allowable pollutant discharge per unit of production (or other measure of operation), the report required by subsection D1 of this section shall include the user's actual average production rate for the reporting period.
4. All compliance reports must be signed and certified in accordance with section 8-2-7-6 of this chapter. (Ord. 2014-003, 7-22-2014)
