      (7)   Compliance schedule. If additional pretreatment and/or O&M will be required to meet the pretreatment standards, the shortest schedule by which the user will provide additional pretreatment and/or O&M.

   The following conditions shall apply to the compliance schedule required by § 53.066(b)(7).

   (a)   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 pretreatment standards (these 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).

   (b)   No increment referred to above shall exceed nine months.

   (c)   The user shall submit a progress report to the manager no later than 14 days following each date in the schedule and the final date of compliance including, as a minimum, 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.

(1992 Code, § 41-125.1) (Ord. 57-93, passed 7-12-1993)

§ 53.068 REPORTS ON COMPLIANCE WITH CATEGORICAL PRETREATMENT STANDARD DEADLINE.

   Within 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 user subject to these pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the manager a report containing the information described in § 53.066(b)(4) through (b)(6). For users subject to equivalent mass or concentration limits established in accordance with the procedures in 40 C.F.R. § 403.6(c), this report shall contain a reasonable measure of the user’s long-term production rate. For all other 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. All compliance reports must be signed and certified in accordance with § 53.054.

(1992 Code, § 41-125.2)

§ 53.069 PERIODIC COMPLIANCE REPORTS.

   (a)   All significant industrial users shall, at a frequency determined by the manager 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. All periodic compliance reports must be signed and certified in accordance with § 53.054.

   (b)   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.

   (c)   If a user subject to the reporting requirement in this section monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by the manager, using the procedures prescribed in § 53.076, the results of this monitoring shall be included in the report.
