Chapter 22 PUBLIC WORKS AND IMPROVEMENTS*
Section 22-219.2 Reporting guidelines.
(a) Within either one hundred eighty (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 submit to the director a report which contains the
information listed in paragraph (b) below. At least ninety (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 submit to the director a report which
contains the information listed in paragraph (b) below. 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 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 wastestream formula set out in 40 CFR 403.6(e).
(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. 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 section 22.219.3
of this ordinance.
c. Sampling
must be performed in accordance with procedures set out in section 22.219.3
of this ordinance.
(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 following requirements:
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, and
beginning and conducting routine operation);
b. No increment
referred to above shall exceed nine (9) months;
c. 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, 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 (9) months elapse between such progress reports to the
director.
(8)
Signature and certification. All baseline monitoring reports must be signed and certified
in accordance with section 22-220 of this ordinance.
(c) Reports on compliance with categorical pretreatment standard
deadline. 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, any user subject to such pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the
director a report containing the information described in section 22-219.2(b)(4-6) of this
ordinance. 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 a 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 section
22-220 of this ordinance.
(d) Periodic compliance reports.
(1) All significant industrial users
shall, at a frequency determined by the director 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 section 22-220 of this
ordinance.
(2) 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.
(3) If a user subject to the reporting
requirement in this section monitors any pollutant more
frequently than required by the director, using the procedures prescribed in section 22-2.19.3 of
this ordinance, the results of this monitoring shall be included in the report.
