Information and data on a user obtained from reports, surveys, wastewater
discharge permit applications, wastewater discharge permits and monitoring
programs and from the Town Engineer's inspection and sampling activities shall
be available to the public without restriction, unless the user specifically
requests, and is able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Town Engineer,
that the release of such information would divulge information, processes
or methods of production entitled to protection as trade secrets under applicable
state or federal law. Any such request must be asserted at the time of submission
of the information or data. When requested and demonstrated by the user furnishing
a report that such information should be held confidential, the portions of
a report which might disclose trade secrets or secret processes shall not
be made available for inspection by the public but shall be made available
immediately upon request to governmental agencies for uses related to the
SPDES program or pretreatment program, and in enforcement proceedings involving
the person furnishing the report. Wastewater constituents and characteristics
and other effluent data as defined by 40 CFR 2.302 will not be recognized
as confidential information and will be available to the public without restriction.
