(A) All samples and determinations of wastewater characteristics shall be as representative of the waste discharge as possible. The costs of regular sampling and analysis will be included in the permit or class type. The town may take additional samples after a significant process change which significantly affects the quantity or strength of the wastewater discharged. The frequency of sampling shall be as follows:
Daily Average Flow, Thousand Gallons Per Day | Minimum Required Frequency of Tests for Surcharge Parameters |
0—20 | 1 per month |
20—30 | 2 per month |
30—40 | 1 per year |
40—50 | 1 per six months |
Over 50 | 1 per three months |
(B) More frequent sampling may be done at any time at the option of the town or any industry where pretreatment is required or that has discharged incompatible wastes in the past.
(C) Upon request by the person concerned, the town shall make available split samples of the composite sample collected. If the person feels the results are not representative of his or her wastes, the town may re-sample at a cost to the user of $120 per day which will include sampling and analysis for B.O.D., T.S.S., C.O.D., pH, chlorine demand and oil and grease. Heavy metals analysis, if necessary, will be at an extra charge and shall be the owner's direct costs times 1.20.
