The following conditions shall apply to the compliance schedule required by §
553-42B(7) of this chapter:
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 a licensed professional 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 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.
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 a report containing the information described in §
553-42B(4) to
(6) of this chapter. 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 shall be signed and certified in accordance with §
553-32 of this chapter.
Each user must notify the Director 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 90 days before the change.
A. The Director 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 §
553-31 of this chapter.
B. The Director may issue a wastewater discharge permit under §
553-33 of this chapter or modify an existing wastewater discharge permit under §
553-37 of this chapter 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 or decreases of 20% or greater
or the discharge of any previously unreported pollutants.
All users not required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit
shall provide appropriate reports to the Director as the Director
may require.
If sampling performed by a user indicates a violation, the user
shall notify the Director 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 within 30
days after becoming aware of the violation or in such time as the
Director may, in writing, require.
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 136, unless otherwise specified in an applicable categorical
pretreatment standard. If 40 CFR 136 does not contain sampling or
analytical techniques for the pollutant in question, sampling and
analyses shall be performed in accordance with procedures approved
by EPA.
Written reports submitted to the Director shall be deemed to
have been submitted on the date received.
Users subject to the reporting requirements of this chapter
shall retain, and make available for inspection and copying, all records
of information obtained pursuant to any monitoring activities required
by this chapter 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. The user shall ensure these records 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, or where the user has been specifically notified of a longer
retention period by the Director.
