A. The city shall inspect the facilities of any user to ascertain whether the purpose of this article is being met and all requirements are being complied with. Persons or occupants of premises where wastewater is created or discharged shall allow the city or its representative ready access at all times to all parts of the premises for the purposes of inspection, random sampling, records examination and copying, or in the performance of any of their duties. The city shall have the right to set up on the user's property such devices as are necessary to conduct sampling inspection, compliance monitoring and/or metering operations. Where a user has security measures in force which would require proper identification and clearance before entry into its premises, the user shall make necessary arrangements with its security guards so that upon presentation of suitable identification, personnel from the city will be permitted to enter, without delay, for the purposes of performing their specific responsibilities. The city has the right to randomly sample industry without notification of the sample taking.
B. While on the user's property, the authorized representatives of the city shall observe all reasonable safety rules applicable to the premises established by the user.
C. Inspections by state or federal representatives shall not relieve a user from inspection by city representatives nor shall inspection by city representatives relieve a user from compliance with inspection by state or federal representatives. (Ord. 4261, 10-6-1997)
A. Compliance Reports: Within ninety (90) days following the date for final compliance with applicable pretreatment standards or, in the case of a new source, following commencement of the introduction of wastewater into the POTW, any user subject to pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the superintendent a report indicating the nature and concentration of all pollutants in the discharge from the regulated process which are limited by pretreatment standards and requirements and the average and maximum daily flow for these process units in the user facility which are limited by such pretreatment standards or requirements. The report shall state whether the applicable pretreatment standards or requirements are being met on a consistent basis and, if not, what additional operation and maintenance and/or pretreatment is necessary to bring the user into compliance with the applicable pretreatment standards or requirements. This statement shall be signed by an authorized representative of the industrial user and certified to by a qualified professional.
B. Periodic Reports: All industrial users required to have an individual permit shall submit to the superintendent a report indicating all flows and the nature and concentration of pollutants in the discharge from the industrial user. The report shall also include a record of all daily flows and/or pollutant loadings that exceeded the daily flow or pollutant loadings allowed by the wastewater discharge permit. The superintendent has the right to require reports as frequently as he deems necessary, but reports must be submitted at least twice annually on dates determined by the superintendent. If a user is subject to mass limitations, the report shall also indicate the mass of regulated pollutants in the user's effluent.
C. Other Reports: The superintendent may require other reports from industrial users as necessary, including, but not limited to, the reports required by 40 CFR 403.12.
D. Report Contents: In addition to the requirements stated in the preceding paragraphs of this section, user reports shall comply with and include all information required by 40 CFR section 403.12 and, in cases where a pretreatment standard, local limit or other standard requires compliance with a best management practice or pollution prevention alternative, the user shall submit documentation as required by the superintendent or applicable standard necessary to determine compliance status of the user.
E. Recordkeeping: All industrial users required to have individual permits subject to the reporting requirements shall retain, and make available for inspection and copying, all records of information obtained pursuant to any monitoring activities required by this article, including documents associated with best management practices, and any additional records of information obtained pursuant to monitoring activities undertaken by the user independent of such requirements. Records shall include date, place, method, time of sampling, and the name of person taking the sample; the dates analyses were performed; who performed the analyses; the analytical method; and the results of such analyses. These records shall remain available for a period of at least three (3) years. This period shall be automatically extended for the duration of any litigation concerning the user or where the user has been specifically notified of a longer retention period.
Failure to maintain the records as required by this article shall create a presumption in favor of the city in any disputes regarding information that would or should have been contained in the missing records. (Ord. 5267, 3-2-2015)
A. All houses, buildings or properties which are required by this article or by other authority to have sanitary or industrial wastewater facilities and are located where the POTW is not available shall be equipped, at the owner's expense, with suitable wastewater facilities connected to a private wastewater disposal system which complies with the provisions of the Black Hawk County health department and all applicable requirements of Iowa Code. This section shall not apply to any private system which discharges to the POTW or which discharges directly to a natural outlet by authority of a separate NPDES permit and in compliance with applicable state and federal laws.
B. Whenever the POTW extends service to an area whereby it is available within two hundred feet (200') of the property line, the private system shall be properly abandoned and the facilities shall be connected to the POTW in accordance with this chapter 1 . (Ord. 4261, 10-6-1997)
