A.
Every significant industrial user must file periodic discharge reports
at such intervals as are designated by the Superintendent. The Superintendent
may require any users who pretreat their wastewater to file such periodic
reports.
B.
The discharge monitoring report may include:
(1)
The nature of the process.
(2)
The flow volume (daily, weekly or annual).
(3)
The time and duration of discharge.
(4)
The average and peak wastewater discharge rates, including daily,
monthly and seasonal variations, if any.
(5)
The mass emission rates.
(6)
Site plans, floor plans, mechanical and plumbing plans and details
to show all sewers and appurtenances by size, location and elevation.
(7)
A description of activities, facilities and plant processes on the
premises, including all materials, processes and types of materials
which are or could be discharged.
(8)
Each product, by type, amount and rate of production.
(9)
The number and type of employees and hours of work.
(10)
Wastewater constituents and characteristics.
(11)
Other information which relates to the generation of waste.
(12)
Records of pretreatment data, such as chemicals added or dates
and methods of cleaning and disposing of grease from grease interceptors.
C.
Such reports may also include the chemical constituents and quantity
of liquid or gaseous materials sorted on site, even though they may
not normally be discharged. The Superintendent will evaluate the data
furnished by the user. Additional information must be supplied as
required by the Superintendent.
A.
All significant industrial users who discharge or propose to discharge
wastewaters to the wastewater treatment system must maintain such
records of production and related factors, effluent (discharge) flows
and pollutant amounts or concentrations as are necessary to demonstrate
compliance with the requirements of this chapter and any applicable
state or federal pretreatment standards or requirements.
B.
Such records shall be made available upon request by the Superintendent.
All such records relating to compliance with pretreatment standards
shall be made available to officials of the DEC or the EPA. A summary
of such data indicating the industrial user's compliance with
this chapter must be prepared at intervals as requested by the Superintendent
and submitted to the village.
C.
The owner or operator of any premises or facility discharging industrial
wastes into the system must, when required by the Superintendent,
install, at his own cost and expense, suitable monitoring equipment
to facilitate the accurate observation, sampling and measurement of
wastes. Such equipment must be maintained in proper working order
and kept safe and accessible at all times. The sampling, analysis
and flow measurement procedures, equipment and results are subject
at any time to inspection by the village.
D.
The monitoring equipment must be located and maintained on the industrial
user's premises outside of the building. When such a location
would be impractical or cause undue hardship on the user, the Superintendent
may allow such facility to be constructed in the public street or
sidewalk area, with the approval of the public agency having jurisdiction
over such street or sidewalk, and located so that it will not be an
obstruction to public utilities, landscaping or parked vehicles.
E.
Whether on public or private property, the monitoring facilities
must be constructed in accordance with the requirements of the Superintendent
and all applicable standards and specifications as required in this
chapter.
A.
Compliance determination. Compliance determinations under Article IV may be made on the basis of either instantaneous grab samples or composite samples of wastewater, as determined necessary by the Superintendent. Composite samples may be taken over a twenty-four-hour period or over a longer or shorter time span as required to meet the needs of specific circumstances.
B.
Analyses of industrial wastewaters. Laboratory analyses of industrial
wastewater samples must be performed in accordance with the current
edition of Standard Methods, Methods for Chemical Analysis of Water
and Waste, published by the EPA, or the Annual Book of Standards,
Part 23, Water, Atmospheric Analysis, published by ASTM. Analyses
of pollutants not covered by these publications must be performed
in accordance with procedures established by the DEC.
A.
All information and data obtained from reports, questionnaires and
monitoring programs and from inspections must be available to the
public or other governmental agency without restriction, unless the
user specifically requests and is able to demonstrate to the satisfaction
of the Superintendent that the release of such information would divulge
information, processes or methods which would be detrimental to the
user's competitive position.
B.
When requested by the person furnishing a report, the portions of
a report which might disclose trade secrets or secret processes must
not be made available for inspection by the public, but must be made
available to governmental agencies for use in making studies; provided,
however, that such portions of a report will be available for use
by the state or any state agency in judicial review or enforcement
proceedings involving the person furnishing the report. Wastewater
constituents and characteristics will not be recognized as confidential
information.
Special agreements and arrangements between the Superintendent
and any persons or agencies may be established when, in the opinion
of the Superintendent, unusual or extraordinary circumstances compel
special terms and conditions.
