Within 180 days after the effective date of a categorical pretreatment standard, or 180 days after the final administrative decision on a category determination under 40 CFR 403.6(a)(4), whichever is later, existing significant industrial users subject to such categorical pretreatment standards and currently discharging to or scheduled to discharge to the municipal system shall be required to submit to the city a report which contains the information listed in subsection (1) of this section. At least 90 days prior to commencement of their discharge, new sources, including existing users which have changed their operation or processes so as to become new sources, shall be required to submit to the city a report which contains the information listed in subsection (1) of this section. A new source shall also be required to report the method of pretreatment it intends to use to meet applicable pretreatment standards. A new source shall also give estimates of its anticipated flow and quantity of pollutants discharged.
(1) 
The information required by this section includes:
(a) 
Identifying Information. The user shall submit the name and address of the facility including the name of the operator and owners.
(b) 
Permits. The user shall submit a list of any environmental control permits held by or for the facility.
(c) 
Description of Operations. The user shall submit a brief description of the nature, average rate of production, and standard industrial classifications of the operation(s) carried out by such industrial user. This description should include a schematic process diagram which indicates points of discharge to the system from the regulated processes.
(d) 
Flow Measurement. The user shall submit information showing the measured average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the system from regulated process streams and other streams as necessary to allow use of the combined wastestream formula set out in 40 CFR 403.6(e).
(e) 
Measurement of Pollutants.
(i) 
The industrial user shall identify the categorical pretreatment standards applicable to each regulated process.
(ii) 
In addition, the industrial user shall submit the results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration (and/or mass, where required by the standard or city) 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 performed in accordance with procedures set out in 40 CFR Part 136.
(iii) 
A minimum of four grab samples must be used for pH, cyanide, total phenols, oil and grease, sulfide, and volatile organics. All other pollutants will be measured by composite samples obtained through flow-proportional sampling techniques. If flow-proportional composite sampling is infeasible, samples may be obtained through time- proportional sampling techniques or through four grab samples if the user proves such a sample will be representative of the discharge.
(f) 
Special Certification. A statement, reviewed by an authorized representative of the industrial user and certified to 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 in order to meet the pretreatment standards and requirements.
(g) 
Compliance Schedule. If additional pretreatment and/or O&M will be required to meet the pretreatment standards, the shortest schedule by which the industrial 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 article must meet the requirements set out in SCC § 13.55.230(14).
(h) 
All baseline monitoring reports must be signed and certified in accordance with SCC § 13.55.240.
(Code 1985 § 22-75A)
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 municipal wastewater system, any industrial user subject to such pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the city a report containing the information described in SCC § 13.55.340(1)(e) and (f). For industrial 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 industrial 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 SCC § 13.55.240.
(Code 1985 § 22-75B)
Any significant industrial user subject to a pretreatment standard shall, at a frequency determined by the director but in no case less than twice per year, submit a report indicating the nature and concentration of pollutants in the discharge which are limited by such 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 SCC § 13.55.240.
(1) 
All wastewater samples must be representative of the industrial 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 an industrial user to keep its monitoring facility in good working order shall not be grounds for the industrial user to claim that sample results are unrepresentative of its discharge.
(2) 
In the event an industrial user's monitoring results indicates a violation has occurred, the industrial user must immediately notify the director and resample its discharge. The industrial user must report the results of the repeated sampling within 30 days of discovering the first violation.
(Code 1985 § 22-75C)
Each industrial user is required to notify the director of any planned significant changes to the industrial user's operations or pretreatment systems which might alter the nature, quality or volume of its wastewater.
(1) 
The director may require the industrial user to submit such information as may be deemed necessary to evaluate the changed condition, including the submission of a wastewater permit application under SCC § 13.55.230, if necessary.
(2) 
The director may issue a wastewater permit under SCC § 13.55.250 or modify an existing wastewater permit under SCC § 13.55.290.
(3) 
No industrial user shall implement the planned changed condition(s) until and unless the director has responded to the industrial user's notice.
(4) 
For purposes of this requirement, flow increases of 10 percent or greater and the discharge of any previously unreported pollutants shall be deemed significant.
(Code 1985 § 22-75D)
Each industrial user shall provide protection from accidental or intentional discharges of prohibited materials or other substances regulated by this chapter. Facilities to prevent the discharge of prohibited materials shall be provided and maintained at the owner's or user's own cost and expense. Detailed plans showing facilities and operating procedures to provide this protection shall be submitted to the city for review and shall be approved by the city before construction of the facility. Review and approval of such plans and operating procedures shall not relieve the industrial user from the responsibility to modify the user's facility as necessary to meet the requirements of this chapter.
(1) 
No industrial user which commences contribution to the system after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter shall be permitted to introduce pollutants into the system until accidental discharge procedures have been approved by the city.
(2) 
In the case of an accidental or other discharge which may cause potential problems for the municipal wastewater system, it is the responsibility of the user to immediately telephone and notify the city of the incident. This notification shall include the location of discharge, type of waste, concentration and volume, if known, and corrective actions taken by the user.
(3) 
Within five days following an accidental 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 system, 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 by this chapter.
(4) 
Failure to notify the city of potential problem discharges shall be deemed a separate violation of this chapter.
(5) 
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 subsection (2) of this section. Employers shall ensure that all employees who may cause or suffer such a discharge to occur are advised of the emergency notification procedure.
(Code 1985 § 22-75E)
All industrial users not subject to categorical pretreatment standards and not required to obtain a wastewater permit shall provide appropriate reports to the city as the director may require.
(Code 1985 § 22-75F)
If sampling performed by an industrial user indicates a violation, the industrial user must notify the city within 24 hours of becoming aware of the violation. The industrial 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. The industrial user is not required to resample if the city performs monitoring at the industrial user's at least once a month, or if the city performs sampling between the industrial user's initial sampling and when the industrial user receives the results of this sampling.
(Code 1985 § 22-75G)
(1) 
Any industrial user who commences the discharge of hazardous waste shall notify the city, the EPA Regional Waste Management Division director, and state hazardous waste authorities in writing of any discharge into the wastewater 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). If the industrial user discharges more than 10 kilograms of such waste per calendar month to the wastewater system, the notification shall also contain the following information to the extent such information is known and readily available to the industrial 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 12 months. All notifications must take place no later than 180 days after the discharge commences. Any notification under this paragraph need be submitted only once for each hazardous waste discharged. However, notifications of changed discharges must be submitted under SCC § 13.55.370.
(2) 
Dischargers are exempt from the requirements of subsection (1) of this section during a calendar month in which they discharge no more than 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 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 industrial 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 industrial user must notify the city, the EPA Regional Waste Management Waste Division director, and state hazardous waste authorities of the discharge of such substance within 90 days of the effective date of such regulations.
(4) 
In the case of any notification made under this section, the industrial 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.
(Code 1985 § 22-75H)
Except as indicated in subsection (1) of this section, wastewater samples collected for purposes of determining industrial user compliance with pretreatment standards and requirements must be obtained using flow-proportional composite collection techniques. In the event flow-proportional sampling is infeasible, the director may authorize the use of time-proportional sampling.
(1) 
Samples for oil and grease, temperature, pH, cyanide, phenols, toxicity, sulfides, and volatile organic compounds.
(2) 
Samples must be obtained using grab collection techniques.
(Code 1985 § 22-75I)
All pollutant analyses, including sampling techniques, to be submitted as part of a permit application or report shall be performed in accordance with the techniques prescribed in 40 CFR Part 136 or, if 40 CFR Part 136 does not contain sampling or analytical techniques for the pollutant in question, in accordance with procedures approved by the EPA and the city.
(Code 1985 § 22-75J)
The director may recover the city's expenses incurred in collecting and analyzing samples of the industrial user's discharge by adding the costs to the industrial user's sewer charges.
(Code 1985 § 22-75K)
Written reports will be deemed to have been transmitted at the time of deposit, postage prepaid into a mail facility serviced by the United States Postal Service.
(Code 1985 § 22-75L)
Any industrial user subject to reporting requirements herein shall maintain records of all information resulting from any monitoring activities. Such records shall include for all samples:
(1) 
The date, exact place, method, and time of sampling and the names of the persons taking the samples;
(2) 
The dates analyses were performed;
(3) 
Who performed the analyses;
(4) 
The results of such analyses.
Such industrial user shall be required to retain for a minimum of three years any records of monitoring activities and results (whether or not required by this section) and shall make the same available for inspection and copying by the director. This period of retention shall be extended during the course of any unresolved litigation regarding the industrial user or when requested by the director.
