(A) Upon the promulgation of the federal categorical pretreatment standards for a particular industrial subcategory, the federal standard, if more stringent than limitations imposed under this subchapter for sources in that subcategory, shall immediately supersede the limitations imposed under this subchapter. The Superintendent shall notify all affected users of the applicable reporting requirements under 40 CFR § 403.12.
(B) Within 60 days after the effective date of a federal categorical pretreatment standard for a subcategory, and prior to commencing discharge, any new source must request that the Waste Management Director of the Division of Water Quality, KDNREP, provide written certification on whether the industrial user falls within that particular subcategory. If an existing industrial user adds or changes a process or operation which may be included in a subcategory, the existing industrial user must request this certification prior to commencing discharge from the added or changed process or operation. Each such request for certification shall contain a statement:
(1) Describing which subcategories might be applicable;
(2) Citing evidence and reasons why a particular subcategory is applicable and why others are not applicable.
(3) Any person signing the request for certification submitted pursuant to this section shall make the following certification:
I certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete.
