[Ord. No. 227, 9/5/2006]
(a)
Within either 180 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 categorical users currently discharging to or scheduled to discharge to the POTW shall be required to submit to the Township a report which contains the information listed in Subsection (b) below. At least 90 days prior to commencement of their discharge, new sources, and sources that become categorical users subsequent to the promulgation of an applicable categorical standard, shall be required to submit to the Township a report which contains the information listed in Paragraph b below. A new source shall also be required to report the method of pretreatment it intends to use to meet applicable categorical standards. A new source shall also give estimates of its anticipated flow and quantity of pollutants discharged.
(b)
Users described above shall submit the information set forth below.
(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, and standard industrial classifications
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, to the POTW from regulated
process streams and other streams, as necessary, to allow use of the
combined waste stream formula set out in 40 CFR 403.6(e).
(5)
Measurement of Pollutants.
(i)
The categorical pretreatment standards applicable to each regulated
process.
(ii)
The results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration (and/or mass, where required by the standard or by the Township) 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 § 23-367 of this Part.
(6)
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.
(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. 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 § 23-359 of this Part.
[Ord. No. 227, 9/5/2006]
The following condition shall apply to the schedule required by § 23-358(b)(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, 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 Township 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; and
(d)
In no event shall more than nine months elapse between such progress
reports to the Township.
[Ord. No. 227, 9/5/2006]
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 the Township a report containing the information described in § 23-358(b)(4-6) 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 § 23-346 of this Part.
[Ord. No. 227, 9/5/2006]
(a)
All significant industrial users shall, at a frequency determined by the Township 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 § 23-346 of this Part.
(b)
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. No. 227, 9/5/2006]
Each user must notify the Township 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 days before the change.
(a)
The Township 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 § 23-345 of this Part.
(c)
For purposes of this requirement, significant changes include, but
are not limited to, flow increases of 10% or greater, and the discharge
of any previously unreported pollutants.
[Ord. No. 227, 9/5/2006]
(a)
In the case of any discharge including, but not limited to, accidental
discharges, discharges of a 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 the
Township 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.
(b)
Within five days following such discharge, the user shall, unless
waived by the Township, 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, civil penalties, or other liability
which may be imposed pursuant to this Part.
(c)
Failure to notify the Township of potential problem discharges shall
be deemed a violation of this Part.
(d)
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 Paragraph (a) above. Employers shall ensure
that all employees who may cause such a discharge to occur are advised
of the emergency notification procedure.
[Ord. No. 227, 9/5/2006]
All users not required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit
shall provide appropriate reports to the Township as the Township
may require.
[Ord. No. 227, 9/5/2006]
If sampling performed by a user indicates a violation, the user
must notify the Township 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 Township within 30
days after becoming aware of the violation. The user is not required
to resample if the Township monitors at the user's facility at least
once a month, or if the Township samples between the user's initial
sampling and when the user receives the results of this sampling.
[Ord. No. 227, 9/5/2006]
The discharge of hazardous waste into the sewer system is prohibited.
[Ord. No. 227, 9/5/2006]
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. No. 227, 9/5/2006]
(a)
Except as indicated in Subsection (b) below, the user must collect wastewater samples using flow proportional composite collection techniques. In the event flow proportional sampling is infeasible, the Township 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.
(b)
Samples for oil and grease, temperature, pH, cyanide, phenols, sulfides,
and volatile organic chemicals must be obtained using grab collection
techniques.
[Ord. No. 227, 9/5/2006]
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. No. 227, 9/5/2006]
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 Township, or where the
user has been specifically notified of a longer retention period by
the Township.
