The following conditions shall apply to the compliance schedule required by §
570-48B(7) of this Part
2:
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 standards
(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 Director
of Wastewater 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 Director of Wastewater.
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 Director of Wastewater a report containing the information described in §
570-48B(4) through
(6) of this Part
2. 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 §
570-38 of this Part
2.
Each user must notify the Director of Wastewater
of any planned significant changes to the user's operations or system
which might alter the nature, quality, or volume of its wastewater.
Notification must be received 30 days before the change is implemented.
A. The Director of Wastewater may require the user to submit such information as may be deemed necessary to evaluate the changed condition, including the submission of a wastewater discharge permit application under §
570-37 of this Part
2.
B. The Director of Wastewater may issue a wastewater discharge permit under §
570-39 of this Part
2 or modify an existing wastewater discharge permit under §
570-43 of this Part
2 in response to changed conditions or anticipated changed conditions.
C. For purposes of this requirement, significant changes
include, but are not limited to, flow increases of 20% or greater,
and the discharge of any previously unreported pollutants.
All users not required to obtain a wastewater
discharge permit shall provide appropriate reports to the Director
of Wastewater as the Director of Wastewater may require.
If sampling performed by a user indicates a
violation, the user must notify the Director of Wastewater within
24 hours of becoming aware of the violation. The user shall also repeat
the sampling and analysis and submit the results of the repeat analysis
to the Director of Wastewater within 30 days after becoming aware
of the violation. The user is not required to resample if the Director
of Wastewater monitors at the user's facility at least once a month,
or if the Director of Wastewater samples between the user's initial
sampling and when the user receives the results of this sampling.
The City of Monroe prohibits the discharge of
hazardous wastes.
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 EPA.
Written reports will be deemed to have been
submitted on the date postmarked. For reports which 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
2 shall retain, and make available for inspection and copying, all records of information obtained pursuant to any monitoring activities required by this Part
2 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 City of Monroe as operator, or where the user has been specifically notified of a longer retention period by the Director of Wastewater.
The Director of Wastewater may require a user
to install a monitoring facility to allow inspection, sampling and
flow measurement. When required, the monitoring facility must be provided
and operated totally at the user's expense. The monitoring facility
should normally be situated on the user's premises, but the Director
may, when such a location would be impractical or cause undue hardship
on the user, allow the facility to be constructed in the public street
or sidewalk area and located so that it will not be obstructed by
landscaping or parked vehicles. There shall be ample room in or near
such sampling manhole or facility to allow accurate sampling and preparation
of samples for analysis. The facility sampling and measuring equipment
shall be maintained at all times in a safe and proper operating condition
at the expense of the user. Whether constructed on public or private
property, the sampling and monitoring facilities shall be provided
in accordance with plans and specifications submitted to and approved
by the Director and all applicable local construction standards and
specifications. Construction shall be completed within 90 days following
written notification by the Director.
To determine the sewage flow from any establishment,
the Director may use one of the following methods:
A. The amount of water supplied to the premises by a
publicly owned water system or a private water company as shown upon
the water meter if the premises is metered;
B. If such premises is supplied with river water or water
from a private water company as shown upon the water meter if the
premises is metered;
C. If such premises is used for an industrial or commercial
purpose of such a nature that the water supplied to the premises cannot
be entirely discharged into the sewer system, the estimate of the
amount of sewage discharged into the sewer system made by the Director
from the water, gas or electric supply;
D. The number of gallons of sewage discharged into the sewer system as determined by measurements and samples taken at a manhole installed by the owner of the property served by the sewer system at his own expense in accordance with the terms and conditions of the permit issued by the Director pursuant to Article
VII; or
E. A figure determined by the Director by any combination
of the foregoing or by any other equitable method.
