(A) Self-monitoring reports. Each industrial user, if required by their industrial waste permit, shall submit periodic self-monitoring reports on the volume, flow rates, concentrations and mass loading being discharged to the POTW system by their facility. Self-monitoring report forms will be provided by the authority. Sample locations shall be specified in the industrial waste permit along with sample type, duration, parameters to be analyzed and test methods to use. Such self monitoring shall be performed in the month specified in the industrial waste permit, and the report filed with the Superintendent by the tenth day of the following month. In the event a categorical industrial user detects a violation during their monitoring, the industrial user must notify the control authority within 24 hours of becoming aware of the violation. The industrial user must then repeat the sampling and analysis and submit the results to the control authority within 30 days of originally becoming aware of the violation, unless the POTW has sampled after the violation was noted. All monitoring data available during the reporting period shall be included in the report.
(B) Compliance reports.
(1) Any industrial user subject to Categorical Pretreatment Standards shall submit a report indicating whether the user has achieved compliance with these standards. This report is to be submitted to the Superintendent within 90 days following the date for final compliance with applicable Categorical Pretreatment Standards, or in the case of a new source discharger, following commencement of the introduction of wastewater into the POTW. The following information shall be included:
(a) Measured average daily and maximum flows of regulated process streams and other nonregulated streams.
(b) Results of sampling and analysis of regulated pollutants from each regulated process. For pH, cyanide, total phenols, oil and grease, sulfide, and volatile organics a minimum of four grab samples must be analyzed. For all other pollutants a minimum of one 24-hour flow proportional composite sample must be obtained downstream of pretreatment facilities if such exist or immediately
downstream of regulated processes if no pretreatrnent facilities exist. The samples shall be representative of the daily operations.
(c) For industrial users subject to equivalent mass or concentration limits established by the Superintendent, this report shall include a reasonable measure of the user's long term production rate. For industrial users subject to production based standards, this report shall include the user's actual production during the appropriate sampling period.
(d) A statement indicating whether pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent basis, and if not, a statement indicating whether additional pretreatment or operation and maintenance will be required to meet the pretreatment standards.
(2) This report shall include the certification statement and shall be signed by an authorized representative of the discharger as defined in division (F) of this section.
(C) Accidental spill reports and/or slug loads. Accidental spills and/or slug loads shall be reported as outlined herein under § 52.012.
(D) Baseline monitoring reports (BMR) for new and existing sources. Baseline monitoring reports (BMR) for new and existing sources are incorporated under § 52.041(B).
(E) Changes in operation reports. All industrial users shall promptly notify the control authority in advance of any substantial changes in the volume or character of pollutants in their discharge, including the, listed or characteristic hazardous wastes for which the industrial user has submitted initial notification under 40 CFR 403.12 (p).
(F) Signatory requirements. Any of the above report shall be signed by a responsible corporate officer as defined in 40 CFR 403.6 (a)(2)(ii) or their assigned designee. authority granting a designee to sign above reports shall be in writing and filed with the control authority.
(G) Compliance schedules. When in the opinion of the control authority, it becomes necessary for industrial users to install technology or provide additional operation and maintenance (O and M) to meet any condition of this chapter or applicable administrative order, the control authority shall require the development of the shortest schedule by which the industrial user will provide this additional technology or O and M.
(1) The schedule shall contain increments of progress in the form of dates for the commencement and completion of major events. Under no circumstances shall any increment exceed nine months.
(2) 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 control 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 IU to return to the schedule established.
