REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
§ 54.080 REPORTS.
   Each user of the treatment works and facilities of the village shall provide reports as necessary to comply with this chapter and any wastewater discharge permit. Reporting requirements may apply to users that are not required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit.
(Ord. 04-0108, passed 1-21-04)
§ 54.081 PRETREATMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR NON-CATEGORICAL USERS.
   Should the village find that a user, not subject to National Categorical Pretreatment Standards, does not meet Pretreatment standards and requirements applicable to its discharge, causes or contributes to a sewage treatment plant upset, or when analysis of waste or observation of the effect of such wastes on the POTW Works indicate that said wastes cannot be treated satisfactorily at such works, or that said wastes are injurious to the POTW works, or to the treatment processes, or pollute the natural waters within the village, its service areas or the Waters of the state. Additional pretreatment and/or operation and maintenance (hereinafter sometimes “O & M”) will be required by the village to meet pretreatment standards and requirements. Such facilities as the village may deem necessary for pretreatment of the wastes shall be furnished by and at the expense of the user as a condition of the discharge of said wastes into the POTW works or to any natural water within the village service area.
   (A)   Pretreatment review. The Pretreatment Coordinator will require the user to initiate a pretreatment review through a telephone call, letter or certified letter to the authorized representative of the user.
   (B)   Pretreatment initiation meeting. A pretreatment initiation meeting will be held between the Pretreatment Coordinator and the user to discuss the problem and the solution to said problem. If it determined that changes in operation and maintenance, plant modifications, and/or the installation of pretreatment equipment shall occur to resolve noncompliance, a schedule shall be established with events and completion deadlines agreeable to both parties to resolve the noncompliance. A Compliance Agreement defining the agreed upon schedule will be sent from the village to the user shortly after the meeting. If a schedule for compliance acceptable to the Pretreatment Coordinator cannot be established, the matter will be referred for further enforcement action consistent with the provisions of §§ 54.130 through 54.135 as appropriate.
   (C)   Progress reports. Progress reports will be filed by the user on a schedule agreed to by the Pretreatment Coordinator and the user concerning the completion of major events leading to the construction and operation of additional pretreatment required for the user to meet the applicable 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); The user shall identify whether or not it complied with the increment of progress, the reason for any delay, and, if appropriate, the steps being taken by the user to return to the established schedule.
   (D)   Final report. A final report will be filed with the Pretreatment Coordinator by the user within 90 days from the end of the schedule deadline to verify the success or failure or the schedule objective chosen by the user.
(Ord. 04-0108, passed 1-21-04)

All compliance reports must be signed and certified in accordance with § 54.055 of this chapter.
(Ord. 04-0108, passed 1-21-04)
§ 54.083 PERIODIC COMPLIANCE REPORTS/SELF MONITORING REPORTS.
   (A)   Significant non-categorical industrial users. Significant non-categorical industrial users shall, at a frequency determined by the Pretreatment Coordinator but in no case less than twice per year (on dates specified by the village) submit a report with a description of the nature, concentration, and flow of the pollutants required to be reported by the village. These reports shall be based on sampling and analysis performed in the period covered by the report, and performed in accordance with the techniques described in 40 CFR part 136 and amendments thereto. This sampling and analysis may be performed by the village in lieu of significant non-categorical industrial user. Where the village itself collects all the information required for the report, the significant non-categorical industrial user will not be required to submit the report.
   (B)   Categorical industrial users.
      (1)   All categorical industrial users shall, at a frequency determined by the Pretreatment Coordinator but in no case less than twice per year (in July and January), submit a report indicating the nature and concentration of pollutants in the discharge which are limited by pretreatment standards and the measured or estimated average and maximum daily flows for the reporting period. At the discretion of the village and in consideration of such factors as local high or low flow rates, holidays, budget cycles, etc., the village may agree to alter the months during which the above reports are to be submitted. All periodic compliance reports must be signed and certified in accordance with § 54.055 of this chapter.
      (2)   All wastewater samples must be representative of the user's discharge. Wastewater monitoring and flow measurement facilities shall be properly operated, kept clean, and maintained in good working order at all times. The failure of a user to keep its monitoring facility in good working order shall not be grounds for the user to claim that sample results are unrepresentative of its discharge.
      (3)   If a user subject to the reporting requirement in this section monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by the Pretreatment Coordinator, using the procedures prescribed in §§ 54.027 and 54.028 of this chapter, the results of this monitoring shall be included in the report.
      (4)   Where the village has imposed mass limitations on users as provided for by 40 CFR 403.6(d), the report required by division (A) of this section shall indicate the mass of pollutants regulated by the pretreatment standards in the discharge from the industrial user.
      (5)   For users subject to equivalent mass or concentration limits established by the village in accordance with the procedures in 40 CFR 403.6(c), the report required by division (A) of this section shall contain a reasonable measure of the user's long term production rate. For all other 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 division (A) of this section shall include the user's actual average production rate for the reporting period.
(Ord. 04-0108, passed 1-21-04)
