Baseline monitoring reports. Within one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of a categorical pretreatment standard, or one hundred eighty (180) days after the final administrative decision on a category determination under 40 CFR 403.1(a)(4), whichever is later, existing significant industrial users subject to such categorical pretreatment standards and currently discharging to or scheduled to discharge to the municipal system shall be required to submit to the city a report which contains the information listed in subparagraphs section 20-114(e), (4) through (8) below. At least ninety (90) days prior to commencement of their discharge, new sources, including existing users which have changed their operation or processes so as to become new sources, shall be required to submit to the city a report which contains the information listed in subparagraphs section 20-114 (c)(1) through (8). A new source shall also be required to report the method of pretreatment it intends to use to meet applicable pretreatment standards. A new source shall also give estimates of its anticipated flow and quantity of pollutants discharged.

The information required by this section includes:

(1)

Identifying information. The user shall submit the name and address of the facility including the name of the operator and owners.

(2)

Permits. The user shall submit a list of any environmental control permits held by or for the facility.

(3)

Description of operations. The user shall submit a brief description of the nature, average rate of production, and standard industrial classifications of the operation(s) carried out by such industrial user. This description should include a schematic process diagram which indicates points of discharge to the system from the regulation processes.

(4)

Flow measurement. The user shall submit information showing the measured average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the system from regulated process streams and other streams as necessary to allow use of the combined wastestream formula set out in 40 CFR 403.6(e).

(5)

Measurement of pollutants.

a.

The industrial user shall identify the categorical pretreatment standards applicable to each regulated process.

b.

In addition, the industrial user shall submit the results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration (and/or mass, where required by the standard of city) of regulated pollutants in the discharge from each regulated process. Instantaneous, daily maximum and long term average concentrations (or mass, where required) shall be reported. The sample shall be representative of daily operations and shall be performed in accordance with procedures set out in 40 CFR Part 136.

c.

Grab samples must be used for PH, cyanide, total phenols, oil and grease, sulfide, and volatile organics. All other pollutants will be measured by composite samples obtained through flow proportional sampling techniques. If flow proportional composite sampling is feasible, samples may be obtained through the proportional sampling techniques or through four (4) grab samples if the user proves such a sample will be representative of the discharge.

(6)

Special certification. A statement, reviewed by an authorized representative of the industrial user and certified to by a qualified professional, indicating whether pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent basis, and, if not, whether additional operation and maintenance (O&M) and/or additional pretreatment is required in order to meet the pretreatment standards and requirements.

(7)

Compliance schedule. If additional pretreatment and/or O&M will be required to meet the pretreatment standards; the shortest compliance schedule will be established by which the industrial user will provide such additional pretreatment and/or O&M. The completion date in this schedule shall not be later than the compliance date established for the applicable pretreatment standard. A compliance schedule pursuant to this section must meet the requirements set out in section 20-113 of this article.

(8)

Signature and certification. All baseline monitoring reports must be signed and certified in accordance with section 20-113(c).

(f)

Compliance deadline reports. Within ninety (90) days following the date for final compliance with applicable categorical pretreatment standards, or in the case of a new source, following commencement of the introduction of wastewater into the municipal wastewater system, any industrial user subject to such pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the city a report containing the information described in section 20-114 (e)(5) and (6). For industrial users subject equivalent mass or concentration limits established in accordance with the procedures in 40 CFR 403.6(c), this report shall contain a reasonable measure of the user's long term production rate. For all other industrial users subject to categorical pretreatment standards expressed in terms of allowable pollutant discharge per unit of production (or other measure of operation), this report shall include the user's actual production during the appropriate sampling period. All compliance reports must be signed and certified in accordance with section 20-113(c).

(g)

Periodic compliance reports. Any significant industrial user subject to the pretreatment standard shall, at a frequency determined by the director but in no case less than twice per year, submit a report indicating the nature and concentration of pollutants in the effluent which are limited by such pretreatment standards and the measured or estimated average and maximum daily flows for the reporting period. All periodic compliance reports must be signed and certified in accordance with section 20-113(c).

(1)

All wastewater samples must be representative of the user's discharge. Wastewater monitoring and flow measurement facilities shall be properly operated, kept clean, and maintained in good working order at all times. The failure of an industrial user to keep its monitoring facility in good working order shall not be grounds for the industrial user to claim that sample results are unrepresentative of its discharge.

(2)

In the event an industrial user's monitoring results indicates a violation has occurred, the industrial user must immediately notify the director and resample its discharge. The industrial user must report the results of the repeated sampling within thirty (30) days of discovering the first violation.

(h)

Notice of changed conditions. Each industrial user is required to notify the director of any planned significant changes to the industrial user's operations or pretreatment systems which might alter the nature, quality or volume of its wastewater.

(1)

The director may require the industrial user to submit such information as may be deemed necessary to evaluate the changed condition, and may require the revision of a pretreatment agreement under section 20-113(a) if necessary.

(2)

No industrial user shall implement the planned changed condition(s) until and unless the director has responded to the industrial user's notice.

(3)

For purposes of this requirement, flow increases of ten per cent (10%) or greater and the discharge of any previously unreported pollutant shall be deemed significant.

(i)

Notice of potential problems. All categorical and noncategorical industrial users shall notify the director immediately of all discharges that could cause problems to the municipal wastewater system, including any slug loadings. Each industrial user shall provide protection from accidental or intentional discharges of prohibited material or other substances regulated by this article. Facilities to prevent the discharge of prohibited materials shall be provided and maintained at the owner's or user's own cost and expense. Detailed plans showing facilities and operating procedures to provide this protection shall be submitted to the city for review and shall be approved by the city before construction of the facility. Review and approval of such plans and operating procedures shall not relieve the industrial user from the responsibility to modify the user's facility as necessary to meet the requirements of this article.

(1)

No industrial user which commences contribution to the system after the effective date of this article shall be permitted to introduce pollutants into the system until accidental discharge procedures have been approved by the city.

(2)

In the case of an accidental or other discharge which may cause potential problems for the municipal wastewater system, it is the responsibility of the user to immediately telephone and notify the city of the incident. This notification shall include the location of discharge, type of waste, concentration and volume, if known, and corrective actions taken by the user.

(3)

Within five (5) days following an accidental discharge, the user shall, unless waived by the director, submit a detailed written report describing the cause(s) of the discharge and the measures to be taken by the user to prevent similar future occurrences. Such notification shall not relieve the user of any expense, loss, damage, or other liability which may be incurred as a result of damage to the system, natural resources, or any other damage to person or property; no such notification shall relieve the user of any fines, civil penalties, or other liability which may be imposed by this article.

(4)

Failure to notify the city of potential problem discharges shall be deemed a separate violation of this article.

(j)

Reporting requirements for industrial users not subject to categorical pretreatment standards. Those industrial users not subject to categorical pretreatment standards shall report monitoring results specified in the pretreatment agreement at a frequency specified in the agreement.

(k)

Recordkeeping. All industrial users subject to reporting requirements must retain any records of monitoring activities and results for a minimum of three (3) years.
