(A) Self-reporting requirements.
(1) To demonstrate continued compliance, significant non-categorical industrial users shall submit to the pretreatment department a description of the nature, concentration, and flow of pollutants in their discharge, at the frequency specified in industrial users discharge permit, with the minimum frequency being once every six months. The reports shall be based on sampling and analysis performed during the period covered by the report and performed in accordance with the techniques described in 40 CFR Part 136 and amendments thereto.
(2) This sampling and analysis may be performed by the city in lieu of the significant non-categorical industrial user. Where the city itself collects all the information required for the report, the non-categorical significant industrial user will not be required to submit the report; however, the significant non-categorical industrial user must reimburse the city for its cost of sampling and analysis.
(3) In cases where the pretreatment standard requires compliance with a Best Management Practice (BMP) or pollution prevention alternative, the user must submit documentation required by the CA or the pretreatment standard necessary to determine the compliance status of the user.
(B) Self-reporting requirements for categorical industrial users.
(1) All categorical industrial users must comply with 40 CFR Section 403.12(b) and (d) regarding submission of baseline reports and 90-day compliance reports.
(2) To demonstrate continued compliance, categorical industrial users shall submit to the pretreatment department a report indicating the nature and concentration of pollutants in their effluent which are limited by categorical pretreatment standards, a record of measured or estimated average and maximum daily flows for the reporting period, a description of the nature, concentration, and flow of the pollutants in their discharge, and production data in accordance with 40 CFR 403.12(e)(3) and (g)(4) as part of the categorical standard. These reports are due during the months of June and December, unless more frequent reporting, or specific semiannual reporting dates are specified in the industrial users discharge permit. The reports shall be based on sampling and analysis performed during the period covered by the report and performed in accordance with the techniques described in 40 CFR Part 136 and amendments thereto.
(3) If a user is classified as a non-classified categorical (NSCIU) per 40 CFR 403.3 (v)(2) then such user shall annually submit the required certification in accordance with 40 CFR 403.12(q).
(C) Noncompliance reporting requirements. If sampling performed by an industrial user indicates a violation, the user shall notify the Pretreatment Department within 24 hours of becoming aware of the violation. The user shall also repeat the sampling and analysis and submit the results to the Pretreatment Department within 30 days after becoming aware of the violation. Re-sampling is not required if the city performs sampling at the industrial users' facility at a frequency of at least once per month or if the city conducted monitoring between the time the sample was collected, indicating the violation, and the time the analytical results were received by the city.
(D) Extra sampling data from significant industrial users. If a significant industrial user monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by the city, using the procedures specified in 40 CFR Part 136 and amendments thereto, the results shall be included in the industrial users self-monitoring report.
(E) Signatory and certification requirements. All reports must be signed by an authorized representative of the industrial users' respective industry as defined by CFR 403.12(1) and certified using the certification statement specified in 40 CFR 403.6(a)(2)(ii) and any other certification statements required by the city.
(F) Fraud and false statements. The reports and other documents required of the industrial users are subject to the provisions of 18 USC 1001 relating to fraud and false statements and the provisions of Section 309(c)(4) of the act, as amended, governing false statements, representation, or certification in reports required under the Act and the provisions of Section 309(c)(6) regarding responsible corporate officers.
(G) Notification of changed discharge. All industrial users shall promptly notify the pretreatment department in advance of any substantial change 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).
(H) Notification of potential problems. All industrial users shall notify the Pretreatment Department immediately of all discharges and/or slug loads that could cause problems to the POTW.
(I) Timing.
(1) Written reports will be deemed to have been submitted on the date post-marked. For reports which are not mailed, postage prepaid, into a mail facility serviced by the U.S. Postal Service, the date of receipt of the report shall govern.
(2) Due dates falling on a weekend will be due the following Monday. Reports due on a holiday will be due on the day following the holiday.
