Any user subject to a pretreatment standard, after compliance date of such pretreatment standard, or in the case of a new source, after commencement of the discharge into the POTW, shall submit to the director during the months of June and December, unless required more frequently in the pretreatment standard or by the director, a report indicating the nature and concentration of pollutants in the effluent which are limited by such pretreatment standards. In addition, this report shall include a record of all daily flows which during the reporting period exceeded the average daily flow reported in Section 14.26.350(B).
At the discretion of the director and in consideration of such factors as local high or low flow rates, holidays, budget cycles, etc., the director may agree to alter the months during which the above reports are to be submitted.
B. 
The director may impose mass limitations on users which are using dilution to meet applicable pretreatments standards, or in other cases where the imposition of mass limitations are appropriate. In such cases, the report required by subsection A of this section shall indicate the mass of pollutants regulated by pretreatment standards 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 director, of pollutants contained therein which are limited by the applicable pretreatment standard. The frequency of monitoring shall not be less than prescribed in the pretreatment standard. All periodic compliance reports shall be signed and certified by an authorized representative of the industrial user, as required by 40 CFR 403.12(1) and 40 CFR 403.6(a)(2)(ii) respectively.
(Ord. 1718 § 1, 1983.; Ord. 2280 § 9, 1989)
The city shall require to be provided and operated at the user's own expense monitoring facilities to allow inspection, sampling, and flow measurement of the building sewer and/or internal drainage systems. The monitoring facility should normally be situated on the user's premises but the city may, when such a location would be impractical or cause undue hardship on the user, allow the facility to be constructed in the public street or sidewalk area and located so that it will not be obstructed by landscaping or parked vehicles. There shall be ample room in or near such sampling manhole or facility to show accurate sampling and preparation of samples for analysis. The facility, sampling, and measuring equipment shall be maintained at all times in a safe and proper operating condition at the expense of the user.
