[Ord. 486, 3/21/2002, § 6.2]
1.
The following conditions shall apply to the compliance schedule required by § 18-330, Subsection 2G, 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 MACM 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 MACM.
[Ord. 486, 3/21/2002, § 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 user subject to such pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to MACM a report containing the information described in § 18-330, Subsection 2D through F, of this Part. 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 must be signed and certified in accordance with § 18-320 of this Part.
[Ord. 486, 3/21/2002, § 6.4]
1.
All significant industrial users shall, at a frequency determined by MACM 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 § 18-320 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.
[Ord. 486, 3/21/2002, § 6.5]
1.
Each user must notify MACM 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.
MACM 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 § 18-319 of this Part.
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. 486, 3/21/2002, § 6.6]
1.
In the case of any discharge, including, but not limited to, accidental
discharges, discharges of nonroutine, episodic nature, a noncustomary
batch discharge, or a slug load, that may cause potential problems
for the POTW, the user shall immediately telephone and notify MACM
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, unless
waived by MACM, 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.
4.
Employers shall ensure that all employees, who may cause such a discharge
to occur, are advised of the emergency notification procedure.
[Ord. 486, 3/21/2002, § 6.7]
All users not required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit
shall provide appropriate reports to MACM as MACM may require.
[Ord. 486, 3/21/2002, § 6.8]
If sampling performed by a user indicates a violation, the user
must notify MACM 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 MACM within 30 days after becoming
aware of the violation. The user is not required to resample if MACM
monitors at the user's facility at least once a month, or if MACM
samples, between user's initial sampling and when the user receives
the results of this sampling.
[Ord. 486, 3/21/2002, § 6.9]
1.
Any user who commences the discharge of 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 wastestream discharged during that calendar month, and an estimation of the mass of constituents in the wastestream expected to be discharged during the following 12 months. All notifications 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 § 18-334 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 §§ 18-330, 18-332, and 18-333 of this Part.
2.
Dischargers are exempt from the requirements of Subsection 1, above, during a calendar month in which they discharge no more than 15 kilograms of hazardous wastes, unless the wastes are acute hazardous wastes as specified in 40 CFR §§ 261.30(d) and 261.33(e). Discharge of more than 15 kilograms of nonacute hazardous wastes in a calendar month, or of any quantity of acute hazardous wastes as specified in 40 CFR §§ 261.30(d) and 261.33(e), requires a one-time notification. Subsequent months during which the user discharges more than such quantities of any hazardous waste do not require additional notification.
3.
In the case of any new regulations under § 3001 of RCRA
identifying additional characteristics hazardous waste or listing
any additional substance as a hazardous waste, the user must notify
MACM, the EPA Regional Waste Management Division Director, and state
hazardous waste authorities of the discharge of such substance within
90 days of the effective date of such regulations.
4.
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.
5.
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.
[Ord. 486, 3/21/2002, § 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. 486, 3/21/2002, § 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, MACM 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.
2.
Samples for oil and grease, temperature, pH, cyanide, phenols, sulfides,
and volatile organic compounds must be obtained using grab collection
techniques.
[Ord. 486, 3/21/2002, § 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. 486, 3/21/2002, § 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 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 date 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 MACM, or where the user has
been specifically notified of a longer retention period by MACM.
