(A) There are many activities associated with the identification and investigation of noncompliance. A brief description of these activities is provided in this ERP. Detailed discussion and procedures for the activities can be found in other relevant sections of the approved pretreatment program document. The activities that facilitate the identification and investigation of noncompliance are as follows:
(1) Industrial user inventory. An essential step for identifying noncompliance, know who is discharging nondomestic waste to the POTW, where they are located, and the nature of the nondomestic waste being discharged. The Industrial Pretreatment Coordinator maintains a current inventory of all nondomestic sources of waste to the POTW.
(2) Monitoring and inspection plan. The Industrial Pretreatment Coordinator prepares an annual monitoring and inspection plan. The control authority monitors the wastewater from each Significant Industrial User (SIU) at least once per year. The control authority requires all sampling and analysis to be performed in accordance with 40 CFR Part 136. Control authority sampling procedures, including quality assurance/quality control procedures, discussed elsewhere in the approved pretreatment program document, are followed to maximize sample integrity.
(a) A comprehensive inspection of each SIU is conducted by the control authority at least once per year. The control authority follows inspection procedures discussed elsewhere in the approved pretreatment program to ensure consistent, thorough, and well documented inspections.
(b) Information gathered during control authority industrial user monitoring and inspections is used to verify industrial user compliance status and to determine if enforcement response must be initiated or continued.
(3) Compliance screening. All reports from industrial users and reports generated by the control authority are carefully reviewed, on an as-received basis for timeliness, completeness and accuracy. The screening process includes an evaluation of compliance with report due dates, numerical standards, sample, handling and analysis requirements, signatory/certification requirements, monitoring frequency and the like.
(B) All violations are clearly documented and addressed in accordance with the Enforcement Response Guide.
