(a) 
Within either one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of a categorical pretreatment standard, or the final administrative decision on a categorical determination under 40 CFR 403.6(a)(4), whichever is later, existing users or categorical users currently discharging to or scheduled to discharge to the POTW(s) shall submit to the director a report which contains the information listed in subsection (b) of this section. At least ninety (90) days prior to commencement of their discharge, or for a shorter time period if authorized by the director, new sources and sources that become categorical users subsequent to the promulgation of an applicable categorical standard, shall submit to the director a report which contains the information listed in subsection (b) of this section. 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, at a minimum, submit the information set forth below:
(1) 
Identification information.
The name and address of the facility, including the name of the operator and owner. Description of the type of entity such as partnership, corporation, or sole proprietorship. If a corporation, provide names, addresses, and titles of persons who are authorized representatives.
(2) 
Environmental permits.
A list of current or expired federal, state, or local environmental permits held by or for the user for this or a similar facility operated by the user.
(3) 
Description of operations.
A brief description of the nature, average rate of production, and standard industrial classification(s) 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(s) from the regulated processes as well as historical compliance with permits issued by federal, state, or local governmental agencies.
(4) 
Flow measurement.
Information showing the measured average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the POTW(s) from the regulated process streams and other streams as necessary, to allow use of the combined wastewater formula set out in 40 CFR 403.6(e). At the director’s discretion, verifiable estimates of flows may be permitted where justified by cost or feasibility considerations.
(5) 
Measurement of pollutants.
(A) 
The categorical pretreatment standards applicable to each regulated process.
(B) 
The results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration, and/or mass, where required by the standard or by the director, of regulated pollutants in the discharge from each regulated process. Both daily maximum and average concentrations, if available, shall be reported. The sample shall be representative of daily operations and shall be analyzed in accordance with procedures set out in section 13-2-303 of this division.
(C) 
In cases where the standard requires compliance with a best management practice or pollution prevention alternative, the user shall submit documentation as required by the director or the applicable standard to determine compliance with the standard.
(D) 
Measurement of pollutants:
(i) 
The user shall take a minimum of one representative sample to compile that data necessary to comply with the requirements of this section.
(ii) 
Samples should be taken immediately downstream from pretreatment facilities if such exist or immediately downstream from the categorical process if no pretreatment exists. If other wastewaters are mixed with the categorical wastewater prior to pretreatment, the user must 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;
(iii) 
Sampling and analysis shall be performed in accordance with sections 13-2-303 and 13-2-304;
(iv) 
The director 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;
(v) 
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(s).
(6) 
In cases where the pretreatment standard requires compliance with a best management practice or pollution prevention alternative, the user must submit documentation required by the director or the pretreatment standard necessary to determine the compliance status of the user.
(7) 
Compliance 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.
(8) 
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 submitted by the user and approved by the director. 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 section 13-2-262 of this division.
(9)

The following conditions shall apply to the compliance schedule required by section 13-2-261(b)(8) of this division:
(1) 
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 facilities 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);
(2) 
No increment referred to above shall exceed nine (9) months;
(3) 
The user shall submit a progress report to the director no later than fourteen (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, and if not, the reason for any delay, the date it expects to comply with the increment of progress and, if appropriate, the steps being taken by the user to return to the established schedule; and
(4) 
In no event shall more than nine (9) months elapse between each progress report to the director.
(5) 
In cases where the pretreatment standard requires compliance with a best management practice or pollution prevention alternative, the user must submit documentation required by the director or the pretreatment standard necessary to determine the compliance status of the user.
(Ordinance 2011-01, sec. 1, adopted 1/11/11)
Within ninety (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(s), any user subject to such pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the director a report containing the information described in section 13-2-261(b)(1)–(9) of this division. 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 by an authorized representative and certified in accordance with section 13-2-193 of this division.
(Ordinance 2011-01, sec. 1, adopted 1/11/11)
(a) 
All significant industrial users, including noncategorical significant industrial user shall, at a frequency determined by the director but in no case less than once per six (6) months submit a report indicating the nature and concentration of pollutants in the discharge which are limited by pretreatment standards, the measured or estimated average and maximum daily flows for the reporting period, and other information designated by the permit. These reports are to be submitted in the months designated by the director. All periodic compliance reports must be signed by an authorized representative and certified in accordance with section 13-2-193 of this division.
(b) 
If a user subject to the reporting requirements of this section monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by the director, using procedures prescribed in sections 13-2-303 and 13-2-304 of this division, the results of this monitoring shall be included in the report.
(c) 
In cases where the pretreatment standard requires compliance with a best management practice or pollution prevention alternative, the user must submit documentation required by the director or the pretreatment standard necessary to determine the compliance status of the user.
(d) 
Noncategorical SIUs are required to report data obtained through appropriate sampling and analysis performed during the period covered by the report and the data must be representative of conditions during the reporting period. If a BMP or pollution prevention measure has been required by the director, the user must provide documentation of compliance with the BMP or pollution prevention measure.
(e) 
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 conditions at all times. Failure of a user to keep its monitoring facilities in good working condition shall not be grounds for the user to claim the sample results are not representative of its discharge.
(Ordinance 2011-01, sec. 1, adopted 1/11/11)
(a) 
In the case of any discharge, including, but not limited to, accidental or slug discharges, discharges of a non-routine, episodic nature, a non-customary batch discharge that may cause potential problems for the POTW, the user shall immediately telephone and notify the director of the incident. In no case can this notification be more than twenty-four (24) hours from the occurrence of the discharge. This notification shall include the location of the discharge, type of waste, concentration and volume, if known and corrective actions that have been taken or will be taken by the user.
(b) 
Within five (5) days following such discharge, the user shall, unless waived by the director, 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(s), 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 division.
(c) 
Significant industrial users are required to notify the director immediately of any changes at its facilities affecting the potential for slug discharges.
(Ordinance 2011-01, sec. 1, adopted 1/11/11)
All users not issued a wastewater discharge permit shall provide appropriate reports to the director if the director determines that such reports are necessary to evaluate the effect of their operations and discharges on the objectives of this division.
(Ordinance 2011-01, sec. 1, adopted 1/11/11)
If sampling performed by a significant industrial user or the city indicates a violation:
(1) 
The significant industrial user shall notify the director of the violation within twenty-four (24) hours of becoming aware of the violation.
(2) 
The significant industrial user shall repeat the sampling and analysis and submit the results of the repeat analysis to the director within thirty (30) days of becoming aware of the violation.
(3) 
The significant industrial user is not required to resample if the director or the user monitors at the significant industrial user’s facility at least once a month, or if the director samples between the significant industrial user’s initial sampling and when the significant industrial user receives the results of this sampling or if the director has performed the sampling and analysis in lieu of the significant industrial user.
(Ordinance 2011-01, sec. 1, adopted 1/11/11)
(a) 
All users shall notify the director at least 30 days in advance when any substantial change in the volume or character of pollutants in their discharge, including the listed or characteristic hazardous wastes for which the user has submitted initial notification under 40 CFR 403.12, is proposed.
(1) 
The director may require the user to submit information necessary to evaluate the changed conditions, including submission of a wastewater discharge application as required by the director.
(2) 
The director may issue a wastewater discharge permit as defined by this division in response to changed or anticipated changed conditions.
(b) 
All users shall notify the city of any changes to their facilities affecting the potential of a slug discharge.
(c) 
Notification of discharge of hazardous wastes.
(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 one hundred (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 twelve (12) months. All notifications must take place no later than one hundred and eighty (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 this section. 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 sections 13-2-261, 13-2-262, 13-2-263, and 13-2-264 of this division.
(2) 
Dischargers are exempt from the requirements of subsection (1) above, during a calendar month in which they discharge no more than fifteen (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 fifteen (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 section 3001 of RCRA identifying additional characteristics of hazardous waste or listing any additional substance as a hazardous waste, the user must notify the director, the EPA regional waste management waste division director, and state hazardous waste authorities of the discharge of such substance within ninety (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, including hazardous wastes, not otherwise permitted to be discharged by this division, a permit issued hereunder, or any applicable federal or state law.
(Ordinance 2011-01, sec. 1, adopted 1/11/11)
Written reports will be deemed to have been submitted on the date postmarked. For reports not mailed, the date of receipt of the report shall govern.
(Ordinance 2011-01, sec. 1, adopted 1/11/11)
(a) 
Users subject to this division shall retain, preserve, and make available for inspection and copying of all records, books, documents, memoranda, reports, correspondence relating to the monitoring, sampling, analysis and permit requirements made by or in behalf of a user in conjunction with its discharge required by this division and documentation associated with best management practices in section 13-2-134(a)(4). Records related to reporting activities must include the following information:
(1) 
The date, exact place, method, times of sampling, name(s) of sampling personnel.
(2) 
The date the analyses were performed.
(3) 
Who performed the analyses.
(4) 
The analytical techniques/methods.
(5) 
Results of the analyses.
(6) 
Other information required by the director.
(b) 
These records related to the monitoring activities required by 40 CFR part 403, including documentation associated with best management practices, shall be retained for a period of at least three (3) years unless conditions exist for a longer period, and the user is specifically notified of such longer retention period by the director or federal or state regulations require a longer retention period. 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.
