(1)
The categorical pretreatment standards applicable to each regulated
process.
(2)
The results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration and/or mass where required by the standard or by the CNBTJSA of regulated pollutants in the discharge from each regulated process. Instantaneous, daily maximum and long-term average concentrations or mass, where required, shall be reported. The sample shall be representative of daily operations and shall be analyzed in accordance with procedures set out in §
18-160 of this Part.
(3)
Sampling must be performed in accordance with procedures set out in §
18-161 of this Part.
F. Certification. A statement, reviewed by the user's authorized
representative and certified by a qualified professional, indicating
whether pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent basis
and, if not, whether additional operation and maintenance (O&M)
and/or additional pretreatment is required to meet the pretreatment
standards and requirements.
G. Compliance Schedule. If additional pretreatment and/or O&M will be required to meet the pretreatment standards, the shortest schedule by which the user will provide such additional pretreatment and/or O&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 requirement set out in §

[Ord. 95-07-02, 7/10/1995, § 6-6.2]
1. The following conditions shall apply to the compliance schedule required by §
18-151, Subsection
2G, of this Part and to compliance schedules issued by the CNBTJSA:
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 an 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 CNBTJSA 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.
D. In no event shall more than nine months elapse between such progress
reports to the CNBTJSA.
[Ord. 95-07-02, 7/10/1995, § 6-6.3]
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 use subject to such pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the CNBTJSA a report containing the information described in §
18-151, Subsection
2D through
F, of this Part. For uses 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 §
18-136 of this Part.
[Ord. 95-07-02, 7/10/1995, § 6-6.4]
1. All significant industrial users shall, at a frequency determined by the CNBTJSA, but in no case less than twice per year (in June and December), submit a report indicating the nature and concentration of pollutants in the discharge which are limited by pretreatment standards and the measured or estimated average and maximum daily flows for the reporting period. All periodic compliance reports must be signed and certified in accordance with §
18-136 of this Part.
2. All wastewater samples must be representative of the user's
discharge. Wastewater monitoring and flow measurement facilities shall
be properly operated, kept clean and maintained in good working order
at all times. The failure of a user to keep its monitoring facility
in good working order shall not be grounds for the user to claim that
sample results are unrepresentative of its discharge.
3. If a user subject to the reporting requirement of this section monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by the CNBTJSA, using the procedures prescribed in §
18-161 of this Part, the results of this monitoring shall be included in the report.
[Ord. 95-07-02, 7/10/1995, § 6-6.5]
1. Each user must notify the CNBTJSA 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 CNBTJSA 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 §
18-135 of this Part.
B. The CNBTJSA may issue a wastewater discharge permit under §
18-137 of this Part or modify an existing wastewater permit under §
18-144 of this Part 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.
[Ord. 95-07-02, 7/10/1995, § 6-6.6]
1. In the case of any discharge including, but not limited to, accidental
discharges, discharges of a non-routine, episodic nature, a non-customary
batch discharge or a slug load that may cause potential problems for
the POTW, the user shall immediately telephone and notify the CNBTJSA
of the incident. This notification shall include the location of the
discharge, type of waste, concentration and volume, if known, and
corrective actions taken by the user.
2. Within five days following such discharge, the user shall submit
a detailed written report describing the cause(s) of the discharge
and the measures to be taken by the user to prevent similar future
occurrences. Such notification shall not relieve the 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 user of any fines,
penalties or other liability which may be imposed pursuant to this
Part.
3. A notice shall be permanently posted on the user's bulletin board or other prominent place advising employees whom to call in the event of a discharge described in Subsection
1 above. Employers shall ensure that all employees, who may cause such a discharge to occur, are advised of the emergency notification procedures.
[Ord. 95-07-02, 7/10/1995, § 6-6.7]
All users not required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit
shall provide appropriate reports to the CNBTJSA as the CNBTJSA may
require.
[Ord. 95-07-02, 7/10/1995, § 6-6.8]
If sampling performed by a user indicates a violation, the user
must notify the CNBTJSA 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 CNBTJSA within 30 days after
becoming aware of the violation. The user is not required to re-sample
if the CNBTJSA monitors at the user's facility at least once
a month or if the CNBTJSA samples between the user's initial
sampling and when the user receives the results of the sampling.
[Ord. 95-07-02, 7/10/1995, § 6-6.9]
1. Any user who discharges hazardous waste shall notify the POTW, the EPA Regional Waste Management Division Director and state hazardous waste authorities, in writing, of any discharge into the POTW of a substance which, if otherwise disposed of, would be a hazardous waste under 40 CFR Part 261. Such notification must include the name of the hazardous waste as set forth in 40 CFR Part 261, the EPA hazardous waste number and the type of discharge (continuous, batch or other). If the user discharges more than 100 kilograms of such waste per calendar month to the POTW, the notification also shall contain the following information to the extent such information is known and readily available to the user, an identification of the hazardous constituents contained in the wastes, an estimation of the mass and concentration of such constituents in the waste stream discharged during that calendar month and an estimation of the mass of constituents in the waste stream expected to be discharged during the following 12 months. All notification must take place no later than 180 days after the discharge commences. Any notification under this subsection need be submitted only once for each hazardous waste discharged. However, notifications of changed conditions must be submitted under §
18-155 of this Part. The notification requirement in this section does not apply to pollutants already reported by users subject to categorical pretreatment standards under the self-monitoring requirements of §§
18-151,
18-153 and
18-154 of this Part.
2. In the case of any new regulations under § 3001 of RCRA
identifying additional characteristics of hazardous waste or listing
any additional substance as a hazardous waste, the user must notify
the CNBTJSA, the EPA Regional Waste Management Waste Division Director
and state hazardous waste authorities of the discharge of such substance
within 90 days of the effective date of such regulations.
3. In the case of any notification made under this section, the 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.
4. This provision does not create a right to discharge any substance
not otherwise permitted to be discharged by this Part, a permit issued
thereunder or any applicable federal or state law.
5. The CNBTJSA may prohibit the discharge of hazardous waste to the
POTW at its discretion.
[Ord. 95-07-02, 7/10/1995, § 6-6.10]
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. If 40 CFR Part 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 EPA.
[Ord. 95-07-02, 7/10/1995, § 6-6.11]
1. Except as indicated in Subsection
2 below, the user must collect wastewater samples using flow proportional composite collection techniques. In the event flow proportional sampling is infeasible, the CNBTJSA may authorize the use of time proportional sampling or a minimum of four grab samples where the user demonstrates that this will provide a representative sample of the effluent being discharged. In addition, grab samples may be required to show compliance with instantaneous discharge limits. When deemed appropriate by the CNBTJSA grab samples may be used in place of composites.
2. Samples for oil and grease, temperature, pH, cyanide, phenols, sulfides
and volatile organic compounds must be obtained using grab collection
techniques.
[Ord. 95-07-02, 7/10/1995, § 6-6.12]
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.
[Ord. 95-07-02, 7/10/1995, § 6-6.13]
Users subject to the reporting requirements of this Part shall
retain and make available for inspection and copying all records of
information obtained pursuant to any monitoring activities required
by this Part 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 CNBTJSA or where the
user has been specifically notified of a longer retention period by
the CNBTJSA.
