[Ord. No. 1323, 12-5-2001; Ord. No. 1516, 9-3-2008]
(a) 
Users subject to National Categorical Pretreatment Standards shall submit baseline reports to the control authority on a form prescribed and furnished by the control authority.
(b) 
Within 180 days after the effective date of a National Categorical Pretreatment Standard, or 180 days after a final administrative decision has been made upon a categorical determination submission in accordance with 40 CFR 403.6(a)(4), whichever is later, nondomestic users which are existing sources subject to such National Categorical Pretreatment Standards and currently discharging to the POTW shall submit a properly completed baseline report.
(c) 
New sources, when subject to a National Categorical Pretreatment Standard, shall submit a baseline report at least 90 days prior to commencement of discharge to the POTW.
(d) 
In support of the baseline report, the nondomestic user shall submit, in units and terms specified in the application, the following information:
(1) 
Name and address of the facility including the name of the operator and owners.
(2) 
List of any environmental control permits held by or for the facility.
(3) 
Brief description of the nature, average rate of production, and standard industrial classification of the operation(s) carried out by such user. This description shall include a schematic process diagram indicating points of discharge to the POTW from the regulated processes.
(4) 
Information showing the measured average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the POTW from each of the following:
a. 
Regulated process streams, and
b. 
Other streams as necessary to allow use of the combined waste stream formula of 40 CFR 403.6(e).
(5) 
The nondomestic user shall identify the National Categorical Pretreatment Standards applicable to each regulated process, and shall:
a. 
Submit the results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration of regulated pollutants in the discharge from each regulated process. Both daily maximum and average concentrations shall be reported. The sample shall be representative of daily operations.
b. 
A minimum of four grab samples must be used for pH, cyanide, total phenols, oil and grease, sulfide, and volatile organics. For all other pollutants, twenty-four-hour composite samples must be obtained through flow proportional composite sampling techniques where feasible. The control authority may waive flow-proportional composite sampling for any industrial user that demonstrates that flow-proportional sampling is infeasible. In such cases samples may be obtained through time-proportional composite sampling techniques or through a minimum of four grab samples where the user demonstrates that this will provide a representative sample of the effluent being discharged.
c. 
A nondomestic user shall take a minimum of one representative sample to compile that data necessary to comply with the requirements of this paragraph.
d. 
Samples should be taken immediately downstream from pretreatment facilities if such exist or immediately downstream from the regulated process if no pretreatment exists. If other wastewaters are mixed with the regulated wastewater prior to pretreatment the user should measure the flows and concentrations necessary to allow use of the combined waste stream formula of 40 CFR 403.6(e) in order to evaluate compliance with the pretreatment standards. Where an alternate concentration or mass limit has been calculated in accordance with 40 CFR 403.6(e) this adjusted limit along with supporting data shall be submitted to the control authority.
(6) 
A nondomestic user shall provide a statement, reviewed by an authorized representative of the user, indicating whether National Categorical Pretreatment Standards are being met on a consistent basis and, if not, whether additional operation and maintenance (O&M) measures or additional pretreatment is required for the user to meet the National Categorical Pretreatment Standards.
(7) 
If additional pretreatment or O&M will be required to meet the National Categorical Pretreatment Standards, the user will provide the shortest schedule which will provide such additional pretreatment or O&M. The completion date in this schedule shall not be later than the compliance date established for the applicable National Categorical Pretreatment Standard, or as follows:
a. 
Where the user's National Categorical Pretreatment Standard has been modified by a removal allowance (40 CFR 403.7) or the combined waste stream formula [[40 CFR 403.6(e)], or net/gross calculations (40 CFR 403.15), at the time the user submits a baseline report containing the information required in Section 29-77(d)(6) and (7) shall pertain to the modified limits.
b. 
If the National Categorical Pretreatment Standard for the user is modified after the baseline report is submitted, the industrial user shall make any necessary amendments to information provided as a response to Section 29-77(d)(6) and (7) and submit them to the control authority within 60 days after the modified limit is approved.
(8) 
The following conditions shall apply to any schedule submitted in response to Section 29-77(d)(7):
a. 
The schedule shall contain increments of progress 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 National Categorical Pretreatment Standards (e.g., hiring an engineer, completing preliminary plans, completing final plans, executing contract for major components, commencing construction, completing construction, etc.).
b. 
No increment referred to in Section 29-77(d)(8)a. shall exceed nine months.
c. 
Not later than 14 days following each date in the schedule and the final date for compliance, the user shall submit a progress report to the control authority including, at a minimum, whether or not it complied with the increment of progress to be met on such date and, if not, the date on which it expects to comply with this increment of progress, the reason for delay, and the steps being taken by the industrial user to return the construction to the schedule established. In no event shall more than nine months elapse between such progress reports to the control authority.
(9) 
Such other information as may be reasonably requested by the control authority.
(e) 
The control authority may allow the submission of a baseline report which utilizes only historical data so long as the data provides information sufficient to determine the need for industrial pretreatment measures.
[Ord. No. 1323, 12-5-2001; Ord. No. 1516, 9-3-2008]
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 categorical pretreatment standards shall submit to the control authority a report indicating the nature and concentration of all pollutants in the discharge from the regulated process which are limited by such standards and the average and maximum daily flow for these process units in the user facility which are limited by such pretreatment standards or requirements. Where equivalent mass or concentration limits are established by the control authority for a user, this report shall contain a reasonable measure of the user's long-term production rate. Where a user is subject to categorical pretreatment standards expressed in terms of allowable pollutant discharge per unit of production, the report shall include the user's actual production during the appropriate sampling period. The report shall state whether the applicable pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent basis and, if not, what additional O&M and/or pretreatment is necessary to bring the user into compliance with the applicable pretreatment standards. This statement shall be signed by an authorized representative of the user.
[Ord. No. 1323, 12-5-2001; Ord. No. 1516, 9-3-2008]
(a) 
Any user subject to a categorical pretreatment standard, after the compliance date of such pretreatment standard, or, in the case of a new source, after commencement of the discharge into the POTW, shall submit to the control authority during the months of June and December, unless required more frequently in the pretreatment standard or by the control authority, a report indicating the nature and concentration of pollutants in the effluent which are limited by such pretreatment standards. In addition, this report shall include a record of all daily flows which during the reporting period exceeded the average daily flow reported in Section 29-77(d)(4). At the discretion of the control authority and in consideration of such factors as local high or low flow rates, holidays, budget cycles, etc., the control authority may agree to alter the months during which the above reports are to be submitted.
(b) 
The control authority may impose mass limitations on users which are using dilution to meet applicable pretreatment standards or requirements, or in other cases where the imposition of mass limitations are appropriate. In such cases, the report required by Paragraph (a) of this section shall indicate the mass of pollutants regulated by pretreatment standards in the effluent of the user. These reports shall contain the results of sampling and analysis of the discharge, including the flow and the nature and concentration, or production and mass where requested by the control authority, of pollutants contained therein which are limited by the applicable pretreatment standards.
(c) 
For users subject to equivalent mass or concentration limits established by the control authority in accordance with the procedures in 40 CFR 403.6(c), the report required by Section 29-79(a) shall contain a reasonable measure of the user's long-term production rate. For all other industrial users subject to categorical pretreatment standards expressed only in terms of allowable pollutant discharge per unit of production (or other measure of operation), the report required by Section 29-79(a) shall include the user's actual average production rate for the reporting period.
(d) 
Significant noncategorical industrial users shall submit to the control authority at least once every six months (on dates specified by the control authority) a description of the nature, concentration, and flow of the pollutants required to be reported by the control authority. In cases where the pretreatment standard requires compliance with a best management practice (BMP) or pollution prevention alternative, the user must submit documentation required by the superintendent or the pretreatment standard necessary to determine the compliance status of the user.
[Ord. No. 1516, 9-3-2008]
The control authority may require industrial users to conduct self-monitoring. The control authority shall determine the frequency of self-monitoring necessary to assess and assure compliance by the industrial user with applicable pretreatment standards and requirements. The control authority may require the industrial user to provide a split of self-monitoring samples. The control authority shall require appropriate reporting from industrial users required to conduct self-monitoring.
[Ord. No. 1516, 9-3-2008]
All sampling and analyses conducted shall be performed in accordance with the procedures and methods detailed in the most current version of:
(1) 
"The Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants" 40 CFR, part 136, as amended.
(2) 
"Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater," American Public Health Association.
(3) 
"Manual of Methods for Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastes," United States Environmental Protection Agency.
(4) 
Any other method as may be approved by the control authority.
[Ord. No. 1516, 9-3-2008]
(a) 
Each laboratory utilized by industries conducting self-monitoring as required by the control authority shall be approved by the control authority and required to operate a formal quality control program as outlined in the most current version of:
(1) 
"Handbook for Analytical Quality Control in Water and Wastewater Laboratories," United States Environmental Protection Agency.
(2) 
"Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater," American Public Health Association.
(b) 
Laboratories conducting analyses for industrial users must submit a copy of the formal quality control documentation prior to approval by the control authority. Approval of laboratories shall be subject to periodic review. The control authority shall have the right to issue blind standards to be analyzed by other laboratories being utilized for self-monitoring. In the case of resolving disputes between analytical data generated by the control authority and another laboratory, any data without documented supporting quality control data will be rejected.
[Ord. No. 1516, 9-3-2008]
(a) 
The reports required by Sections 29-69, 29-77, 29-78, 29-79, 29-81 and 29-82 shall be based on sampling and analysis performed in the period covered by the report, at the location set forth by the control authority, and performed in accordance with the sampling and analysis procedures as outlined in Section 29-80.2. This sampling and analysis may be performed by the control authority in lieu of the industrial user. Where the control authority itself collects all the information required for the report, the user will not be required to submit the report.
(b) 
If sampling performed by a user indicates a violation, the user shall notify the superintendent 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 superintendent within 30 days after becoming aware of the violation, except the user is not required to resample if:
(1) 
The control authority performs sampling at the industrial user at a frequency of at least once per month, or
(2) 
The control authority performs sampling at the user between the time when the user performs its initial sampling and the time when the user receives the results of this sampling.
If the control authority performs the sampling for the SIU, the control authority must perform any required repeat sampling and analysis within 30 days of becoming aware of a violation.
(c) 
The reports required in Paragraph (a) and (d) of Section 29-79 shall be based upon data obtained through appropriate sampling and analysis performed during the period covered by the report, which data is representative of conditions occurring during the reporting period. The control authority shall require that frequency of monitoring necessary to assess and assure compliance by industrial users with applicable pretreatment standards, and requirements.
(d) 
If an industrial user subject to the reporting requirement in Sections 29-69, 29-77, 29-78, 29-79, 29-81 and 29-82 monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by the control authority, using the procedures prescribed in this section, the results of this monitoring shall be included in the report.
(e) 
Signatory requirements for industrial user reports. The reports required by Sections 29-77, 29-78, 29-79, 29-81 and 29-82 shall include the certification statement as set forth in 40 CFR 403.6(a)(2)(ii), and shall be signed by an authorized representative.
(f) 
The reports required in Sections 29-77, 29-78, 29-77(a) and 29-79(d) must be based upon data obtained through appropriate sampling and analysis performed during the period covered by the report, which data are representative of conditions occurring during the reporting period. The control authority shall require that frequency of monitoring necessary to assess and assure compliance by industrial users with applicable pretreatment standards and requirements. Grab samples must be used for pH, cyanide, total phenols, oil and grease, sulfide, and volatile organic compounds. For all other pollutants, twenty-four-hour composite samples must be obtained through flow-proportional composite sampling techniques, unless time-proportional composite sampling or grab sampling is authorized by the control authority. Where time-proportional composite sampling or grab sampling is authorized by the control authority, the samples must be representative of the discharge and the decision to allow the alternative sampling must be documented in the industrial user file for that facility or facilities. Using protocols (including appropriate preservation) specified in 40 CFR Part 136 and appropriate EPA guidance, multiple grab samples collected during a twenty-four-hour period may be composited prior to the analysis as follows: For cyanide, total phenols, and sulfides the samples may be composited in the laboratory or in the field; for volatile organic compounds and oil and grease the samples may be composited in the laboratory. Composite samples for other parameters unaffected by the compositing procedures as documented in approved EPA methodologies may be authorized by the control authority, as appropriate.
[Ord. No. 1323, 12-5-2001; Ord. No. 1516, 9-3-2008]
Every significant noncategorical industrial user shall submit to the control authority at least once every six months (on date specified by the control authority) a description of the nature, concentration, and flow of the pollutants required to be reported by the control authority. These reports shall be based on sampling and analysis performed in the period covered by the report, and performed in accordance with the techniques describe in 40 CFR Part 136 and amendments thereto. Where 40 CFR Part 136 does not contain sampling or analytical techniques for the pollutant in question, or where the DEQ or control authority determines that the Part 136 sampling and analytical techniques are inappropriate for the pollutant in question, sampling and analysis shall be performed by using validated analytical methods or any other applicable sampling and analytical procedures suggested by the control authority or other persons, approved by the DEQ. In cases where the pretreatment standard requires compliance with a best management practice (BMP) or pollution prevention alternative, the user must submit documentation required by the control authority or the pretreatment standard necessary to determine the compliance status of the user. This sampling and analysis may be performed by the control authority in lieu of the significant noncategorical industrial user. Where the control authority itself collects all the information required for the report, the significant noncategorical industrial user will not be required to submit the report.
[Ord. No. 1323, 12-5-2001; Ord. No. 1516, 9-3-2008]
(a) 
Any nondomestic user, except as specified in Subsection (e) below, which discharges to the POTW any substance which, if otherwise disposed of, would be a listed or characteristic hazardous waste under 40 CFR Part 261, shall notify the control authority in writing of such discharge.
(b) 
All hazardous waste notifications shall include:
(1) 
The name of the hazardous waste as set forth in 40 CFR Part 261;
