The requirements of §
192-100A, below, apply to all CIUs, even if they have been designated as NSCIUs.
A. Within 180 calendar days after the effective date of a categorical pretreatment standard, or the final administrative decision on a category determination under 40 CFR 403.6(a)(4), whichever is later, existing CIUs currently discharging to or scheduled to discharge to the POTW shall submit to the Pretreatment Coordinator a report which contains the information listed in §
192-100B, below. At least 90 calendar days prior to commencement of their discharge, new sources, and sources that become CIUs subsequent to the promulgation of an applicable categorical standard, shall submit to the Pretreatment Coordinator a report which contains the information listed in §
192-100B, below. A new source shall report the method of pretreatment it intends to use to meet applicable categorical standards. A new source also shall give estimates of its anticipated flow and quantity of pollutants to be discharged.
B. Users described above shall submit the information set forth as follows:
(1)
Identifying information. The name and address of the facility,
including the name of the operator and owner.
(2)
Environmental permits. A list of any environmental control permits
held by or for the facility.
(3)
Description of operations. A brief description of the nature,
average rate of production (including each product produced by type,
amount, processes, and rate of production) and standard industrial
classifications (SIC) of the operation(s) carried out by such user.
This description should include a schematic process diagram, which
indicates points of discharge to the POTW from the regulated processes.
(4)
Flow measurement. Information showing the measured average daily
and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day (GPD), to the POTW from
regulated process streams and other streams, as necessary, to allow
use of the combined wastestream formula set out in 40 CFR 403.6(e).
(5)
Measurement of pollutants.
(a)
Identify the categorical pretreatment standards applicable to
each regulated process;
(b)
Submit the results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration, and/or mass, where required by the standard or by the Pretreatment Coordinator, 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 §
192-109 of this part;
(c)
In cases where the standard requires compliance with a BMP or
pollution prevention alternative, the user shall submit documentation
as required by the Pretreatment Coordinator or the applicable standards
to determine compliance with the standard;
(d)
The user shall take a minimum of one representative sample to compile data necessary to comply with the requirements of §
192-100B above.
(e)
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 wastestream formula in 40 CFR 403.6(e) 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 Pretreatment Coordinator;
(f)
Sampling must be performed in accordance with procedures set out in §
192-110 of this part;
(g)
The Pretreatment Coordinator 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;
(h)
The baseline report shall indicate the time, date and place
of sampling and methods of analysis, and shall certify that such sampling
and analysis is representative of normal work cycles and expected
pollutant discharges to the POTW.
(6)
Compliance certification. A statement, reviewed by the user's
authorized representative and certified by a certified professional,
indicating whether pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent
basis, and, if not, whether additional O&M and/or additional pretreatment
is required to meet the pretreatment standards and requirements.
(7)
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 must be provided. 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 §
192-101 of this part.
(8)
Signature and report certification. All baseline monitoring reports must be signed and certified in accordance with §
192-113A and signed by an authorized representative as defined in § 192-72C of this part.
The following conditions shall apply to the compliance schedule required by §
192-100B(7) of this part:
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 Pretreatment Coordinator, signed and certified in accordance with §
192-90 of this part, no later than 14 calendar 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 Pretreatment Coordinator.
Within 90 calendar 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 Pretreatment Coordinator a report containing the information described in §
192-100B(4) through §
192-100B(6) of this part. For users subject to equivalent mass or concentration limits established in accordance with the procedures in §
192-74 of this part and 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 §
192-90 of this part. All sampling will be done in conformance with §
192-110 of this part.
Each user must notify the Pretreatment Coordinator 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 30
calendar days before the change.
A. The Pretreatment Coordinator may require the user to submit such information as may be deemed necessary to evaluate the changed condition, including the submission of an individual wastewater discharge permit application under §
192-89 of this part.
B. The Pretreatment Coordinator may issue an individual wastewater discharge permit under §
192-91 of this part or modify an existing individual wastewater discharge permit under §
192-95 of this part in response to changed conditions or anticipated changed conditions.
All users not required to obtain an individual wastewater discharge permit shall provide appropriate reports to the Pretreatment Coordinator as the Pretreatment Coordinator may require. Such reports shall be signed and certified by the user in accordance with §
192-90 of this part.
All pollutant analyses, including sampling techniques, to be
submitted as part of an individual wastewater discharge permit application
or report shall be performed in accordance with the techniques prescribed
in 40 CFR 136 and amendments thereto, 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, or where the EPA determines that the 40 CFR 136 sampling
and analytical techniques are inappropriate for the pollutant in question,
sampling and analyses shall be performed by using validated analytical
methods or any other applicable sampling and analytical procedures,
including procedures suggested by the Pretreatment Coordinator or
other parties approved by the EPA. All laboratory analysis reports
shall indicate the methods used.
Samples collected to satisfy reporting requirements must be
based on data obtained through appropriate sampling and analysis performed
during the period covered by the report, based on data that is representative
of conditions occurring during the reporting period.
A. Except as indicated in Subsections
B and
C below, the user must collect wastewater samples using twenty-four-hour-flow proportional composite sampling techniques, unless time-proportional composite sampling or grab sampling is authorized by the Pretreatment Coordinator. Where time-proportional composite sampling or grab sampling is authorized by the Pretreatment Coordinator, the samples must be representative of the discharge. Using protocols (including appropriate preservation) specified in 40 CFR 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 organics 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 Pretreatment Coordinator, as appropriate. In addition, grab samples may be required to show compliance with instantaneous limits.
B. Samples for oil and grease, temperature, pH, cyanide, total phenols,
sulfides, and volatile organic compounds must be obtained using grab
collection techniques.
C. For sampling required in support of baseline monitoring and ninety-day compliance reports required in §
192-100 and §
192-102 of this part (40 CFR 403.12(b) and (d)), a minimum of four grab samples must be used for pH, cyanide, total phenols, oil and grease, sulfide and volatile organic compounds for facilities for which historical sampling data do not exist; for facilities for which historical sampling data are available, the Pretreatment Coordinator may authorize a lower minimum. For the reports required by §
192-103 this part (40 CFR 403.12(e) and 403.12(h)), the user is required to collect the number of grab samples necessary to assess and assure compliance by with applicable pretreatment standards and requirements.
D. In addition, the Borough expressly reserves the right to construct,
install, operate and/or maintain off-site sampling and flow monitoring
stations with respect to any user. In the event of discrepancies,
the data collected from the Borough's off-site station shall take
precedence over the data collected from the user's on-site station.
E. The Borough may use a grab sample(s) to determine noncompliance with
pretreatment standards.
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.
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, any additional records of information obtained pursuant to monitoring activities undertaken by the user independent of such requirements, and documentation associated with BMPs established under §
192-74E and/or §
192-76C Section 2.4.C of this part. Records shall include, but not be limited to all sampling and testing results, including chain of custody forms, laboratory reports, flow or pH meter charts or recordings, data sheets, all reports submitted to the Pretreatment Coordinator and all permits, amendments to permits, letters, orders, NOVs, or other documents issued to the user by the Borough. Records of sampling and testing results shall include, at a minimum: 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. Records pertaining to sludge shall remain available for a period of at least five years. These periods shall be automatically extended for the duration of any litigation concerning the user or the Borough, or where the user has been specifically notified of a longer retention period by the Pretreatment Coordinator.
