A.
Within either 180 days after the effective date of a categorical pretreatment standard, or the final administrative decision on a category determination under 40 CFR 403.6(a)(4), whichever is later, existing categorical users currently discharging to or scheduled to discharge to the POTW shall submit to the Borough a report which contains the information listed in Subsection B below. At least 90 days prior to commencement of their discharge, new sources, and sources that become categorical users subsequent to the promulgation of an applicable categorical standard, shall submit to the Borough a report which contains the information listed in Subsection B below. A new source shall report the method of pretreatment it intends to use to meet applicable categorical standards. A new source also shall give estimates of its anticipated flow and quantity of pollutants to be discharged.
B.
Users described above shall submit the information
set forth below:
(1)
Identifying information. The name and address of the
facility, including the name of the operator and owner.
(2)
Environmental permits. A list of any environmental
control permits held by or for the facility.
(3)
Description of operations. A brief description of
the nature, average rate of production, and standard industrial classifications
of the operation(s) carried out by such user. This description should
include a schematic process diagram which indicates points of discharge
to the POTW from the regulated processes.
(4)
Flow measurement. Information showing the measured
average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the POTW
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 categorical pretreatment standards applicable
to each regulated process.
(b)
The results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration, and/or mass, where required by the standard or by the Borough, 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 analyzed in accordance with procedures set out in § 52-66 of this Part 3.
(6)
Certification. A statement, reviewed by the user's
authorized representative and certified 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 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 schedule by which the 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 § 52-58 of this Part 3.
The following conditions shall apply to the compliance schedule required by § 52-57B(7) of this Part 3:
A.
The schedule shall contain progress increments in
the form of dates for the commencement and completion of major events
leading to the construction and operation of additional pretreatment
required for the user to meet the applicable pretreatment standard
(such events include, but are not limited to, hiring an engineer,
completing preliminary and final plans, executing contracts for major
components, commencing and completing construction, and beginning
and conducting routine operation);
B.
No increment referred to above shall exceed nine months;
C.
The user shall submit a progress report to the Borough
no later than 14 days following each date in the schedule and the
final date of compliance, including, as a minimum, whether or not
it complied with the increment of progress, the reason for any delay
and, if appropriate, the steps being taken by the user to return to
the established schedule; and
D.
In no event shall more than nine months elapse between
such progress reports to the Borough.
Within 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 POTW, any user subject to such pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the Borough a report containing the information described in § 52-57B(4) through (6) of this Part 3. For users subject to 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 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 § 52-48 of this Part 3.
A.
All significant industrial users shall, at a frequency determined by the supervisor but in no case less than twice per year (in June and December), submit a report indicating the nature and concentration of pollutants in the discharge which are limited by 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 § 52-48 of this Part 3.
B.
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 a user to keep its monitoring facility
in good working order shall not be grounds for the user to claim that
sample results are unrepresentative of its discharge.
Each user must notify the Borough of any planned
significant changes to the user's operations or system which might
alter the nature, quality, or volume of its wastewater at least 60
days before the change.
A.
In the case of any discharge, including but not limited
to accidental discharges, discharges of a nonroutine, episodic nature,
a noncustomary batch discharge, or a slug load, that may cause potential
problems for the POTW, the user shall immediately telephone and notify
the Borough of the incident. This notification shall include the location
of the discharge, type of waste, concentration and volume, if known,
and corrective actions taken by the user.
B.
Within five days following such discharge, the user
shall, unless waived by the Borough, 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 POTW, natural resources,
or any other damage to person or property; nor shall such notification
relieve the user of any fines, penalties, or other liability which
may be imposed pursuant to this Part 3.
C.
A notice shall be permanently posted on the user's bulletin board or other prominent place advising employees whom to call in the event of a discharge described in Subsection A, above. Employers shall ensure that all employees who may cause such a discharge to occur are advised of the emergency notification procedure.
All users not required to obtain a wastewater
discharge permit shall provide appropriate reports to the Borough
as the Borough may require.
If sampling performed by a user indicates a
violation, the user must notify the Borough within 24 hours of becoming
aware of the violation. The user shall also repeat the sampling and
analysis and submit the repeat analysis to the Borough within 30 days
after becoming aware of the violation. The user is not required to
resample if the supervisor monitors at the user's facility at least
once a month, or if the supervisor samples between the user's initial
sampling and when the user receives the results of this sampling.
A.
The discharge of hazardous waste to the POTW is strictly
prohibited except with the specific advance permission of the Borough,
and then only in adherence to a wastewater discharge permit issued
for such a discharge.
B.
Prior to applying for a permit to discharge hazardous
waste, the applicant must produce written authorization form the EPA
Regional Waste Management Division under 40 CFR Part 261.
All pollutant analyses, including sampling techniques,
to be submitted as part of a wastewater discharge permit application
or report shall be performed in accordance with the techniques prescribed
in 40 CFR Part 136, unless otherwise specified in an applicable categorical
pretreatment standard. If 40 CFR Part 136 does not contain sampling
or analytical techniques for the pollutant in question, sampling and
analyses must be performed in accordance with procedures approved
by the EPA.
A.
Except as indicated in Section B, below, the user
must collect wastewater samples using flow-proportional composite
collection techniques. In the event flow-proportional sampling is
infeasible, the Borough may authorize the use of time-proportional
sampling or a minimum of four grab samples where the user demonstrates
that this will provide a representative sample of the effluent being
discharged. In addition, grab samples may be required to show compliance
with instantaneous discharge limits.
B.
Samples for oil and grease, temperature, pH, cyanide,
phenols, sulfides, and volatile organic compounds must be obtained
using grab collection techniques.
Written reports will be deemed to have been
submitted on the date postmarked. For reports that are not mailed,
postage prepaid, into a mail facility serviced by the United States
Postal Service, the date of receipt of the report shall govern.
Users subject to the reporting requirements
of this Part 3 shall retain, and make available for inspection and
copying, all records of information obtained pursuant to any monitoring
activities required by this Part 3 and any additional records of information
obtained pursuant to monitoring activities undertaken by the user
independent of such requirements. Records shall include the date,
exact place, method, and time of sampling, and the name of the person(s)
taking the samples; the dates analyses were performed; who performed
the analyses; the analytical techniques or methods used; and the results
of such analyses. These records shall remain available for a period
of at least three years. This period shall be automatically extended
for the duration of any litigation concerning the user or the Borough
of Lake City, or where the user has been specifically notified of
a longer retention period by the Borough.
