(A) Compliance schedule. Any non-categorical user which is not in compliance with the town’s limitations must develop a compliance schedule during which time the user must meet the town’s standards. The schedule should contain increments of progress (hiring engineers, starting construction and the like), which correspond to specific dates for their completion. These represent major events leading to the operation of pretreatment equipment to meet the town’s pretreatment requirements. All users subject to these conditions must submit a progress report to the town no later than 14 days following each date in the compliance schedule. This report must include whether it complied with the increment of progress to be met on that date, the reason for the delay if the date was not met and the steps being taken to return to compliance. In no event can more than six months elapse between progress reports.
(B) Compliance schedule reports (categorical users). These reporting conditions apply to the compliance schedule required in 40 C.F.R. § 403.12(b)(7). This schedule is necessary whenever a user is not meeting categorical pretreatment requirements at the time of promulgation of that standard. The schedule contains increments of progress (hiring an engineer, completing plans, commencing construction, completing construction and the like) which correspond to specific dates for their completion. These represent major events leading to the construction and operation of additional pretreatment required for the user to meet the applicable categorical pretreatment requirements.
(C) Monthly reports. This requirement calls for the submission of all notices and self-monitoring reports from users that are necessary to assess and assure compliance by users with applicable pretreatment requirements. These reports will normally be required on a monthly basis.
(D) Baseline report.
(1) Within 180 days after the effective date of a categorical pretreatment requirement, or 180 days after the final administrative decision made on a category, whichever is later, existing users subject to such pretreatment requirements and currently discharging to or scheduled to discharge to the town’s sanitary treatment works will be required to submit to the town or other control authority a report containing the information listed in 40 C.F.R. § 403.12(b)(1)-(7).
(2) Upon promulgation of a categorical pretreatment requirement, the control authority (either EPA or IDEM) will provide the appropriate information for distribution to the users who are affected by the promulgated standard. The users are then required to submit the completed report to the control authority.
(E) Compliance date report.
(1) Within 90 days following the date for final compliance with an applicable pretreatment requirement, any user subject to those standards must submit to the control authority a report indicating the nature and concentration of all pollutants in the discharge generated from the regulated process which are limited by pretreatment requirements.
(2) The report must also state whether applicable standards are being met on a consistent basis and, if not, what additional O&M and/or pretreatment is necessary to bring the discharge into compliance. This statement should be signed by an authorized representative of the industrial user.
(F) Periodic reports on continued compliance.
(A) Any discharge subject to an applicable pretreatment requirement must submit to the control authority during the months of June and December, or more frequently if required by the control authority, following the final compliance date of that pretreatment requirement, a report indicating the nature and concentration of prohibited or regulated substances in the discharge which are limited by the categorical pretreatment requirements.
(B) In addition, this report must include a record of all measured or estimated average and maximum daily flows during the reporting period. Flows are to be reported on the basis of actual measurement, except, where cost or feasibility considerations justify, the control authority may accept reports of average and maximum flows estimated by verifiable techniques. The control authority, considering such factors may authorize submission of the reports on months other than those specified herein.
