A.
Industrial users subject to categorical standards shall comply with reporting requirements under 40 CFR 403.12, including but not limited to baseline monitoring reports (required under § 492-20 hereof), pretreatment deadline compliance reports and periodic compliance reports.
B.
Industrial users shall comply with applicable state pretreatment
reporting requirements. The report shall state whether the applicable
pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent basis and provide
the information necessary to demonstrate compliance with BMPs, as
provided for in federal regulations § 403.8(f)(1)(iii)(B)(3)
and § 403.12(d), and if not, what additional O&M, BMPs,
and/or pretreatment is necessary to bring the significant industrial
user into compliance with the applicable pretreatment standards or
requirements. This statement shall be signed by an authorized representative
of the significant industrial user and certified by a qualified professional
engineer.
D.
As required by the permitting agency, a noncategorical significant
industrial user must submit, at least semiannually (on dates specified
by the permitting agency), a description of the nature, concentration
and flow of the pollutants required to be reported. The report shall
be based on sampling analysis performed in the period covered by the
report. The sampling and analysis may be performed by the permitting
authority in lieu of the significant noncategorical industrial user.
A.
Industrial users discharging or proposing to discharge wastewaters
to the treatment works shall maintain such records of production and
related factors, effluent flow and pollutant amounts or concentration
necessary to demonstrate compliance with this chapter and with state
and federal pretreatment standards and requirements.
B.
Such records shall be made available to the Town (control authority)
upon request by the approval authority. A summary of such data indicating
the industrial user's compliance with this chapter shall be prepared
and submitted per permit requirements to the approval authority. Records
(including documentation associated with BMPs) shall be retained for
a minimum of five years or throughout the course of any pertinent
litigation, in accordance with 40 CFR 403.12(o).
C.
If deemed necessary by the Town (control authority), their designated
representative, or the permitting agency, industrial users shall install
(at their own cost) monitoring equipment approved by the Town (control
authority) to facilitate the accurate observation, sampling and measurement
of wastes as required by the permit. Such equipment shall be in working
order and kept safe and accessible at all times. Alternatively, the
Town (control authority) may choose to install such equipment at its
expense.
D.
Whether constructed on public or private property, such monitoring
facilities shall be constructed according to requirements of the Town
(control authority) and other applicable construction standards and
specifications. Plans and specifications for such work shall be submitted
to the approval authority for review and comment before construction.
A.
Representative sampling point. Industrial users proposing to connect
to or continue discharging to any part of the Town's treatment works
must make available, upon request of the approval authority, a sampling
point representative of the discharge. Such sampling point shall be
approved by the approval authority and shall be located on public
property, if requested by the approval authority. The cost for installing
and maintaining such representative sampling point shall be borne
by the industrial user. Access to the point shall be available at
all times to the Town (control authority) and participants for purposes
of conducting sampling, inspections, compliance monitoring and metering
operations.
B.
Compliance determination. Compliance determination by the approval authority, with respect to Article II, Prohibitions and Limitations, shall be made on the basis of either instantaneous grab samples or representative composite samples of wastewater, or as otherwise may be determined by the Town (control authority) and/or permitting agency.
C.
Analysis of industrial wastewater. Laboratory analysis of industrial
wastewater samples shall be performed in accordance with an approved
test procedure in a laboratory certified by NJDEP to perform said
analysis.
A.
Information and data on industrial users obtained from reports, questionnaires,
permit applications, monitoring programs, inspections and other sources
shall be available to the public and governmental agencies without
restriction unless the industrial user requests confidential treatment
and demonstrates to the satisfaction of the approval authority that
the release of such information would divulge information, processes
or methods of production entitled to protection as trade secrets.
Public access shall also be governed by N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5. Wastewater
constituents and characteristics, however, shall not be recognized
as confidential information.
B.
Nonconfidential industrial user information on file with the Town
(control authority) may be obtained by interested parties, including
members of the public and government agencies, by contacting the approval
authority to arrange a time and place for review and copying of available
documents. The cost of copying shall be the responsibility of such
interested party.
C.
When information classified by the approval authority as confidential
is requested by the EPA or the NJDEP for purposes related to this
chapter, the NJPDES or the state or federal pretreatment programs,
the Town (control authority) shall refer such requests to the industrial
user that furnished the information in question. Confidential information
shall be kept in a separate, locked file accessible only to the approval
authority or its designee.
