Industrial users shall prepare and submit such reports as are
required by this Chapter and 40 C.F.R. 403.12. Such reports shall
be filed in the office of the Director unless otherwise provided.
[Ord. No. 2206 §§1 —
2, 6-5-2000]
All new industrial users must submit information on the nature
and characteristics of their wastewater by completing a wastewater
survey prior to commencing discharge. Existing industrial users shall
submit a wastewater survey when requested to do so by the Director.
The Director is authorized to prepare a form for this purpose and
may periodically require industrial users to update the survey. Failure
to comply with this Section shall be reasonable grounds for terminating
service to the industrial user and shall be considered a violation
of this Chapter.
[Ord. No. 2206 §§1 —
2, 6-5-2000]
A.
When required by the Director, by Section 705.260 or by 40 C.F.R. §403.12, industrial users currently discharging to or scheduled to discharge to the POTW shall submit to the Director a report which contains the following information:
1.
Identifying information. The name and address of
the facility, including the name of the operator and owners and the
name and title of the authorized representative.
2.
Environmental control permits. A list of any environmental
control or wastewater discharge permits or authorizations held by
or for the facility.
3.
Description of operations. A brief description of
the nature, average rate of production, and standard industrial classifications
of the operation(s) carried out by the industrial user. This description
shall include a schematic process diagram which indicates points of
discharge to the POTW from regulated processes and storage areas for
raw materials and hazardous waste.
4.
Flow measurement. Information showing the measured
average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the POTW
from regulated processes and other sources as necessary to allow use
of the combined wastestream formula.
5.
Measurement of pollutants.
a.
The categorical pretreatment standards applicable to each regulated
process.
b.
The results of sampling and analysis identifying the concentration
of each regulated pollutant in the effluent from each regulated process.
Where required by the pretreatment standard or the Director, the mass
of each regulated pollutant in the effluent from each regulated process
and the production rate of each regulated process shall also be reported.
Samples shall be representative of daily operations and shall be collected
and analyzed in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 C.F.R.
Part 136 and shall be collected in such number and otherwise in accordance
with 40 C.F.R. §403.12(b)(v). The industrial user shall provide
estimates of the anticipated flow and quantity of pollutants where
actual data cannot be obtained.
c.
The time, date and place of sampling shall be reported for each sample.
6.
Certification. A statement by the industrial user's
authorized representative certifying that the sampling results submitted
are representative of normal work cycles and expected effluents and
indicating whether pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent
basis and, if not, whether additional operation and maintenance (0
and M) and/or additional pretreatment is required to meet the pretreatment
standards and requirements. An industrial user which has not begun
discharge to the POTW shall include a description of any pretreatment
process or processes it intends to use to meet applicable pretreatment
standards.
7.
Compliance schedule. If additional pretreatment and/or O and M will be required to meet the pretreatment standards, the industrial user shall report the shortest schedule for providing such additional pretreatment and/or O and M. The completion date in this schedule shall not be later than the compliance date established for the applicable pretreatment standard. A compliance schedule pursuant to this Section must meet the requirements set out in Section 705.380 of this Chapter.
[Ord. No. 2206 §§1 —
2, 6-5-2000]
Any compliance schedule required by Section 705.370 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 industrial user to meet the applicable pretreatment standards (such events may include hiring an engineer, completing preliminary and final plans, executing contracts for major components, commencing and completing construction, beginning and conducting routine operation). No such progress increment shall exceed nine (9) months. The industrial user shall submit a progress report to the Director no later than fourteen (14) days following each date in the compliance 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 industrial user to return to the established schedule. In no event shall more than nine (9) months elapse between such progress reports to Director.
[Ord. No. 2206 §§1 —
2, 6-5-2000]
Within ninety (90) days following the date for final compliance with an applicable categorical pretreatment standard or, in the case of a new facility or an existing facility which has altered or added to its operation, processes, or wastewater volume or character in a manner which causes it to become subject to said categorical pretreatment standard, within ninety (90) days of commencing discharge from such new facility or process, any industrial user subject to such pretreatment standard shall submit to the Director a report containing the information described in Sections 705.370(4 — 7) and 705.380. For industrial users subject to equivalent mass or concentration limits, this report shall contain a reasonable measure of the industrial user's long term production rate. For industrial 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 industrial user's actual production during the appropriate sampling period. This report must be signed and certified in accordance with Section 705.450.
[Ord. No. 2206 §§1 —
2, 6-5-2000]
A.
Any significant industrial user shall, at a frequency determined by the Director but in no case less than every six (6) months, submit a report indicating the concentration in its effluent and/or discharge of all pollutants which are limited by such pretreatment standards and/or pretreatment requirements and the measured or estimated average and maximum daily flows for the reporting period. Where required by the pretreatment standard or the Director, the significant industrial user shall also report the mass of each regulated pollutant in the discharge and/or in the effluent from each regulated process and the production rate of each regulated process. This report must be signed and certified in accordance with Section 705.450.
C.
If
a significant industrial user monitors any pollutant more frequently
than required by the Director, the results of this monitoring shall
be included in the report.
[Ord. No. 2206 §§1 —
2, 6-5-2000]
A.
Each
industrial user shall notify the Director of any planned significant
changes to the industrial user's operations or systems which may alter
the nature, quality or volume of its wastewater at least sixty (60)
days before the change. The industrial user shall submit such information
as may be deemed necessary by the Director to evaluate the changed
condition, including a wastewater discharge permit application.
B.
The
Director shall respond to said notice within sixty (60) days. He may
issue a wastewater discharge permit or modify an existing wastewater
discharge permit in response to this notice. No industrial user shall
implement the planned changed conditions(s) until and unless the Director
has responded to the industrial user's notice.
C.
For
purposes of this requirement, flow increases of more than ten percent
(10%) or the discharge of any previously unreported pollutant shall
be deemed significant changes.
[Ord. No. 2206 §§1 —
2, 6-5-2000]
A.
Any industrial user which has an accidental discharge, a discharge of a non-routine, episodic nature, a non-customary batch discharge, or a slug discharge which may cause potential problems for the POTW (including a violation of the prohibited discharge standards in Section 705.110 of this Chapter) shall immediately telephone and notify the Director of the incident. This notification shall include the location of discharge, source, material(s) involved, concentration and volume, if known, and corrective actions taken by the industrial user.
B.
Within
five (5) days following such discharge, the industrial user shall,
unless waived by the Director, submit a detailed written report describing
the cause(s) of the discharge and the measures to be taken by the
industrial user to prevent similar future occurrences. Such notification
shall not relieve the industrial user of any expense, loss, damage,
or other liability which may be incurred as a result of damage to
the POTW, natural resources, or any other damage to person or property;
nor shall such notification relieve the industrial user of any fines,
civil penalties, or other liability which may be imposed by this Chapter.
[Ord. No. 2206 §§1 —
2, 6-5-2000]
All industrial users shall report to the Director any discharge
into the POTW of a substance which, if otherwise disposed of, would
be defined as a hazardous waste under 40 C.F.R. Part 261. Such report
must include the name of the hazardous waste as set forth in 40 C.F.R.
Part 261, the EPA hazardous waste number, and the type of discharge
(continuous, batch or other). The report shall also contain the following
information to the extent such information is known and readily available
to the industrial user: an identification of the hazardous constituents
contained in the waste(s), an estimation of the mass and concentration
of such constituents in the wastestream discharged during each calendar
month of that reporting period, and an estimation of the mass of such
constituents in the wastestream expected to be discharged during the
following twelve (12) calendar months.
Such hazardous waste discharge report shall be made a part of
every periodic compliance report for significant industrial users
and shall be submitted every six (6) months for all other industrial
users. The reporting requirements in this Section do not apply to
individual pollutants already reported under the self-monitoring requirements
of a wastewater discharge permit issued pursuant to this Chapter.
In the case of any report required by this Section, the industrial
user shall certify that it has a program in place to reduce the volume
and toxicity of hazardous wastes generated to the degree it has determined
to be economically practical.
[Ord. No. 2206 §§1 —
2, 6-5-2000]
If sampling performed by an industrial user indicates a violation
of the effluent and/or discharge limitations provided in this Chapter
and/or in the industrial user's wastewater discharge permit, the industrial
user must notify the Director within twenty four (24) hours of becoming
aware of the violation. The industrial user shall also repeat the
sampling and analysis and submit the results of the repeat sampling
and analysis to the Director within thirty (30) days after becoming
aware of the violation.
[Ord. No. 2206 §§1 —
2, 6-5-2000]
All reports and applications submitted pursuant to the requirements
of this Chapter must contain the following certification statement
and be signed by the authorized representative of the industrial user.
