A. 
All significant industrial users and other users requested by the Control Authority shall file with the City a quarterly self-monitoring report on the quality and quantity of their discharge upon forms to be supplied by the City. The quarterly report shall cover the calendar quarters of January to March, April to June, July to September and October to December. The reports shall be filed with the City within 10 days of the end of the quarter. A laboratory report from a qualified testing laboratory acceptable to the Control Authority shall be submitted with each report to verify the values reported. All reports submitted shall be complete to include any sewage flow or test values as may be required 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 Control Authority or the pretreatment standard necessary to determine the compliance status of the user. 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.
(1) 
Irrespective of the quarterly reporting requirements above, the City may require monthly reporting based on the quantity and quality of the discharge.
B. 
All users subject to these reporting requirements that monitor any pollutant more frequently than required by the Control Authority, using procedures prescribed in 40 CFR Part 136, shall include the results of this monitoring in the immediately following quarterly self-monitoring report. Any user employing pretreatment may be required by the Control Authority to report operating data which demonstrates the effectiveness of the pretreatment facility.
C. 
All permitted industrial users, and commercial/industrial users issued commercial/industrial discharge permits, shall designate a person as the authorized representative as defined in § 249-4.

Information and data on a user obtained from reports, surveys, wastewater discharge permit applications, individual wastewater discharge permits, and monitoring programs, and from the Director's inspection and sampling activities, shall be available to the public without restriction, unless the user specifically requests, and is able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Director, that the release of such information would divulge information, processes, or methods of production entitled to protection as trade secrets under applicable state law. Any such request must be asserted at the time of submission of the information or data. When requested and demonstrated by the user furnishing a report that such information should be held confidential, the portions of a report which might disclose trade secrets or secret processes shall not be made available for inspection by the public, but shall be made available immediately upon request to governmental agencies for uses related to the NPDES program or pretreatment program, and in enforcement proceedings involving the person furnishing the report. Wastewater constituents and characteristics and other effluent data, as defined at 40 CFR 2.302 shall not be recognized as confidential information and shall be available to the public without restriction.
G. 
Baseline monitoring report. All industrial users subject to pretreatment standards shall submit to the City a report which indicates the compliance status of the user with the applicable categorical pretreatment standard as defined in 40 CFR Part 403.12(b). This report shall identify the facility, indicate permits held, describe operations, contain flow and pollutant measurements and be reviewed and certified by a qualified engineer representing the industrial user. Existing sources shall submit the report within 180 days after the effective date of a categorical pretreatment standard. New sources and sources that become industrial users after the effective date of an applicable categorical pretreatment standard shall submit the report at least 90 days prior to commencing discharge of waste regulated by such standard. If additional pretreatment is needed to meet the pretreatment standards, a compliance schedule as described in Subsection I below shall be required. For existing sources, the schedule shall provide a goal for compliance no later than the compliance date established in the applicable categorical pretreatment standard.
H. 
Compliance with categorical pretreatment standards report. Within 90 days following the date for final compliance with applicable pretreatment standards or, in the case of a new source, following commencement of the introduction of industrial waste into the sewerage system, any industrial user subject to pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the City a report containing the information listed in 40 CFR Part 403.12(b)(4) to (6) indicating the nature and concentration for all pollutants in the discharge from the regulated process which are limited by the categorical pretreatment standards and the average and maximum daily flow for these process units in the user facility which are limited by such pretreatment standards. The report shall be based on data obtained through appropriate sampling in accordance with § 249-15 performed during the period covered by the report, and the data relied upon must be representative of the conditions occurring during any specified time period. Industrial users subject to equivalent mass or concentration limits established in accordance with 40 CFR Part 403.6(c) must include in the report a reasonable measure of the user's long-term production rate. The report shall state whether the applicable pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent basis and, if not, what additional operation and maintenance and/or pretreatment is necessary to bring the user into compliance with all applicable pretreatment standards. This statement shall be signed by the user's authorized representative. The report shall be reviewed and certified by a qualified engineer representing the industrial user.
I.

L. 
Industrial users shall notify the Control Authority immediately of all discharges that could cause problems to the sewerage system, including but not limited to discharges referenced in § 249-6 and any slug discharge of a nonroutine, episodic nature, including accidental spills or noncustomary batch discharge.
M. 
The Control Authority may impose mass limitations on industrial users which, in the opinion of the Control Authority, 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 Subsection A above shall indicate the mass of pollutants regulated by pretreatment standards or requirements 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 City, of pollutants contained herein which are limited by the applicable pretreatment standards or requirements. The frequency of monitoring shall be prescribed in accordance with procedures established by EPA pursuant to Section 304(g) of the CWA and contained in 40 CFR Part 136.
N. 
The industrial user shall notify the City, the EPA Regional Waste Management Division Director and the state hazardous waste authorities, in writing, of any discharge into the sewerage system 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) and quantity of waste discharged, pursuant to the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403.12(p).
(1) 
If the user discharges more than 100 kilograms of such waste per calendar month to the City, 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 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 § 249-13K. The notification requirement in this subsection does not apply to pollutants already reported by users subject to categorical pretreatment standards under the self-monitoring requirements of this section.
O. 
Date of receipt of reports. 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.
P. 
Penalty for failure to file report. The City may assess a penalty fee to any user for each day that a report required by this section is late, beginning five days after the date the report is due. Actions taken by the City to collect late reporting fees shall not limit the City's authority to initiate other enforcement actions that may include additional penalties for late reporting violations. Penalty fees shall be established by resolution of the Council of the City of Lancaster.
(1) 
The City may decline to issue or reissue an individual wastewater discharge permit to any user who has failed to pay any outstanding fees, fines or penalties incurred as a result of any provision of this section, a previous individual wastewater discharge permit, or order issued hereunder.
Users subject to the reporting requirements of this chapter shall retain, and make available for inspection and copying, all records of information obtained pursuant to any monitoring activities required by this chapter, any additional records of information obtained pursuant to monitoring activities undertaken by the user independent of such requirements, and documentation associated with best management practices established under § 249-6. 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 City, or where the user has been specifically notified of a longer retention period by the Director.
A. 
When required by the Control Authority, the owner of any improved property serviced by a public sewer carrying industrial waste shall install, at his/her expense, a suitable control manhole, together with any such necessary meters or appurtenances to facilitate observation, sampling and measurement of the waste. The control manhole shall be accessible at all times to the Control Authority or designated representatives. In cases where the City has made no special requirement for a control manhole, the control manhole shall be considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in the public sewer to the point at which the building sewer is connected. The control manhole shall allow the sampling of the discharge from an individual user, separate from any combined flow from any upstream users.
B. 
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 and amendments thereto, 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, or where the EPA determines that the Part 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 Director or other parties approved by EPA. The particular analysis involved will determine whether a composite of all outfalls on a premises is appropriate or whether a grab sample or samples be taken. Sampling shall be done as to provide data representative of conditions occurring during any particular time within the period covered by the self-monitoring report. All sampling performed shall be done on different days of the week than was done during the previous calendar quarter for the self-monitoring report.
(1) 
Except as indicated in Subsection B(2) and (3) 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 Control Authority. Where time-proportional composite sampling or grab sampling is authorized by the Control Authority, the samples must be representative of the discharge. 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 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 Control Authority, as appropriate. In addition, grab samples may be required to show compliance with instantaneous limits.
(2) 
Samples for oil and grease, temperature, pH, cyanide, total phenols, sulfides and volatile organic compounds must be obtained using grab collection techniques.
(3) 
For sampling required in support of baseline monitoring and ninety-day compliance reports required in 40 CFR Part 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 Control Authority may authorize a lower minimum. For the reports required by 40 CFR Part 403.12(e) and (h), the user is required to collect the number of grab samples necessary to assess and assure compliance with applicable pretreatment standards and requirements.
C. 
If sampling performed by an industrial user indicates a violation, the user shall notify the City 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 City within 30 days after becoming aware of the violation.
D. 
The owner of any improved property connected to the sewerage system shall provide the Control Authority or designated representatives and agents the opportunity of access at any time to any part of any improved property served by the sewerage system as shall be required for purposes of inspection, measurement, sampling and testing and for performance of other functions relating to service rendered by the City in regard to the sewerage system.
