Every user who submits a compliance schedule under §
390-50C(7) shall submit a progress report to the Township and the Manager of Water Resources no later than 14 days following each date in the schedule and the final date of compliance. The progress report shall include, at a minimum, whether or not the user has 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. In no event shall more than nine months elapse between progress reports.
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 and the Manager of Water Resources a report containing the information described in §
390-50C(4) through
(6). 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 §
390-42B.
[Amended 2-12-2018 by Ord. No. 18-1]
All users not required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit
shall provide appropriate reports to the Director of Public Works
as the Director of Public Works may require from time to time.
[Amended 1-11-2010 by Ord. No. 10-3]
If sampling performed by a user indicates a violation, the user
must notify the Township and the Manager of Water Resources within
24 hours of becoming aware of the violation. The user shall also repeat
the sampling and analysis and submit the result of the repeat analysis
to the Township and the Manager of Water Resources within 30 days
after becoming aware of the violation. The user is not required to
resample if the Township or the Manager of Water Resources samples
between the user's initial sampling and when the user receives the
results of the sampling or if the Township or the Manager of Water
Resources performs the sampling at the user's facility at least once
per month.
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 the EPA.
[Amended 1-11-2010 by Ord. No. 10-3]
A. 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.
B. Except as indicated in Subsections
C and
D 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 Manager of Water Resources. Where time-proportional composite sampling or grab sampling is authorized by the Township, 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 corn positing procedures as documented in approved EPA methodologies may be authorized by the Township, as appropriate. In addition, grab samples may be required to show compliance with instantaneous limits.
C. Samples for oil and grease, temperature, pH, cyanide, total phenols,
sulfides, and volatile organic compounds must be obtained using grab
collection techniques.
D. For sampling required in support of baseline monitoring and ninety-day compliance reports required in §§
390-50 and
390-52 [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 Manager of Water Resources may authorize a lower minimum. For the reports required by §
390-53 [40 CFR 403.12(e) and 403.12(h)], the industrial user is required to collect the number of grab samples necessary to assess and assure compliance by with applicable pretreatment standards and requirements.
Written reports required under this Part 3 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 3 shall
retain, and make available for inspection and copying, all records
of information obtained pursuant to any monitoring activities required
by this Part 3 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; the name(s) of the person(s) taking
the samples; the dates analyses were performed; the person(s) performing
the analyses; the analytical techniques or methods use; 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, the city,
or the Township, or where the user has been specifically notified
of a longer retention period by the Township or the Manager of Water
Resources.
