(a) Within 90 days after passage of this chapter, existing industrial users discharging industrial wastes to a public sewer shall prepare and file the report required by this section if they have not already done so or shall modify, if necessary any report previously filed with the Authority. Within 180 days after the effective date of a categorical pretreatment standard, existing industrial users subject to such standards and currently discharging or scheduled to discharge shall be required to prepare and file the report required by this section. Any industrial user operating on the basis of a previous report submittal shall submit to the Authority, within 180 days after the promulgation of an applicable categorical pretreatment standard, the additional information required by divisions (c)(10) and (c)(11) hereof.
(b) New sources, and sources that become industrial users subsequent to the promulgation of an applicable categorical standard, shall, at least 90 days prior to commencement of discharge, be required to submit to the Authority a report which contains the information listed in 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 required in divisions (c)(8) and (c)(9) hereof.
(c) The baseline report of the industrial user shall be made on written forms provided by the Authority and shall include:
(1) Disclosure of the name, address and location of the facility, including the name of the operator and owners;
(2) Disclosure of any environmental control permits held by or for the facility;
(3) A brief, detailed description of the nature of activities, facilities and plant processes on the premises, average rate of production and standard industrial classification (Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Bureau of the Budget, 1972, as amended) of the operations carried out by the industrial user. This description should include a schematic process diagram which indicates points of discharge to the Authority from the regulated process and all materials which are or may be discharged to the sewage disposal works of the Authority;
(4) Disclosure of time and duration of discharge;
(5) Disclosure of site plans, floor plans, mechanical and plumbing plans and details to show all sewers, sewer connections, inspection manholes, sampling chambers and appurtenances by size, location and elevation, in addition to that required by division (c)(3) hereof.
(6) Disclosure of each product produced by type, amount, process and rate of production;
(7) Disclosure of the type and amount of raw materials utilized;
(8) A. Information showing the dischargers measured average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the Authority from each of the following:
1. Regulated process streams; and
2. Other streams as necessary to allow use of the combined waste stream formula of 40 C.F.R. Part 403.6 (e). (See § 1044.219(c) of this chapter.)
B. The Authority may allow for verifiable estimates of these flows where justified by cost or feasibility considerations.
(9) A measurement of pollutants as set forth below:
A. The industrial user shall identify the pretreatment standards applicable to each regulated process;
B. In addition, the industrial user shall submit the results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration (or mass, where required by the standard or the Authority) 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. Sampling and analysis shall be conducted in accordance with § 1044.219 of this chapter;
C. The Authority may allow the submission of a baseline report which utilizes only historical data so long as the data provide information sufficient to determine the need for industrial pretreatment measures; and
D. The baseline report shall indicate the time, date and place of sampling, and methods of analysis, and shall certify that such sampling and analysis are representative of normal work cycles and expected pollutant discharges to the Authority.
(10) A statement, reviewed by an authorized representative of the discharger (as defined in § 1044.02(b) of this chapter 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 and M) and/or additional pretreatment is required for the discharger to meet the pretreatment standards and requirements;
(11) If additional pretreatment and/or O and M will be required to meet the pretreatment standards, the shortest schedule by which the discharger will provide such additional pretreatment and/or O and 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 categorical pretreatment standard has been modified by a removal allowance (40 C.F.R. Part 403.7), the combined waste stream formula (40 C.F.R. Part 403.6(e)) and/or a fundamentally different factors variance (40 C.F.R. Part 403.13) at the time the industrial user submits the report required by division (b) hereof, the information required by divisions (c)(8) and (c)(9) hereof shall pertain to the modified limits.
B. If the categorical pretreatment standard is modified by a removal allowance (40 C.F.R. Part 403.7), the combined waste stream formula (40 C.F.R. Part 403.6(e)) and/or a fundamentally different factors variance (40 C.F.R. Part 403.13) after the industrial user submits the report required by division (b) hereof, any necessary amendments to the information requested by divisions (c)(10) and (c)(11) hereof shall be submitted by the industrial user to the Authority within 60 days after the modified limit is approved.
(12) The following conditions shall apply to the schedule required by division (c)(11) hereof:
A. The schedule shall contain increments of progress 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 industrial users to meet the applicable categorical pretreatment standards (e.g., hiring an engineer, completing preliminary plans, completing final plans, executing contract for major components, commencing construction, completing construction and the like);
B. No increment referred to in division (c)(12)A. hereof shall exceed nine months;
C. Not later than 14 days following each date in the schedule and the final date for compliance, the industrial user shall submit a progress report to the Authority, 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 months elapse between such progress reports to the Authority; and
D. The Authority will evaluate the complete report and data furnished by the industrial user and may require additional information. Within 30 days after full evaluation and acceptance of the data furnished, the Authority shall notify the industrial user of the Authority’s acceptance thereof.
(13) When determined to be necessary by the Director, user will submit documentation indicating compliance with applicable BMP(s).
