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/or requirements shall submit to the Town Engineer a report containing the information required by §
160-31B(1) through
(6) of this Part
1. 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 §
160-21 of this Part
1.
Each user must notify the Town Engineer 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 30 days before the change.
A. The Town Engineer 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.
B. The Town Engineer may issue a wastewater discharge permit or modify
an existing wastewater discharge permit 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 Town Engineer as the Town
Engineer may require.
If sampling performed by a user indicates a violation, the user
must notify the Town Engineer 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 Town Engineer
within 30 days after becoming aware of the violation. The user is
not required to resample if the Town Engineer monitors at the user's
facility at least once a month or if the Town Engineer samples between
the user's initial sampling and when the user receives the results
of this sampling.
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. All analysis must be done by a laboratory certified
by the New York State Department of Health for the specific parameters
analyzed. If 40 CFR 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.
All sampling shall be performed at the control manhole provided.
In the event that no special manhole is available, the Town Engineer
may consider the control manhole to be the nearest downstream manhole
in the public sewer to the point at which the building sewer is connected.
The Town Engineer must approve this sample point in writing. All measurements,
tests and analysis shall be performed by a Town-approved laboratory
at the expense of the user.
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
1 shall retain, and make available for inspection and copying, all records of information obtained pursuant to any monitoring activities required by this Part
1 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 Town, or where the Town Engineer has specifically notified the user of a longer retention period.
