(1) Identifying information including the name and address of the facility with the name of the operators and owners.

(2) A list of environmental control permits held by the user.

(3) A brief description of the nature, average rate of production, and standard industrial classification carried out by the user.

(4) Flow measurements showing the measured average and maximum daily flow.

(5) Measurements of pollutants identifying the pretreatment standards applicable to each regulated process.

(6) Certification statement reviewed by an authorized representative of the industrial user as outlined in 40 CFR Section 403.12(l).

(7) Compliance schedule if additional pretreatment and/or operations and maintenance will be required to meet the pretreatment standards.

(8) Such report shall also contain a certification statement signed by an authorized representative.

(1) Any user subject to a pretreatment standard, after the compliance date of such pretreatment standard, or, in the case of a new source, after commencement of the discharge of waste to the POTW, shall submit to the Utilities Director reports as required by the permit. Such reports shall also contain a certification statement signed by an authorized representative. In no case will the report cover a period in excess of six months for categorical industries.

(2) Significant noncategorical industrial users shall submit to the Water Pollution Control Division at least once every six months a description of the nature, concentration and flow of the pollutants required to be reported in accordance with the wastewater treatment discharge permit issued.

(3) All periodic compliance reports must be signed and certified in accordance with TMC 13.20.525.

(1) The monitoring reports required in subsection (c) of this section shall contain the results of sampling and analysis of the discharge, including the flow and the nature and concentration or mass limitations, where requested by the Utilities Director, of pollutants contained therein which are limited by the applicable pretreatment standards. This sampling and analysis may be performed by the Utilities Director, in lieu of the industrial user. Where the Utilities Director performs the required sampling and analysis in lieu of the industrial user, the industrial user will not be required to submit the compliance certification required in the baseline monitoring and 90-day reports, required in 40 CFR Section 403.12. In addition, where the Utilities Director collects all the information required for these reports, including flow data, the industrial user will not be required to submit the same information.

(2) If sampling performed by an industrial user indicates a violation, the user shall notify the Utilities Director 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 Utilities Director within 30 days after becoming aware of the violation. However, the industrial user is not required to resample if:

(3) The monitoring reports submitted to the Utilities Director shall be based upon data obtained through appropriate sampling and analysis, performed during the period identified in the permit and shall be representative of discharge occurring during the reporting period. The Utilities Director shall require that frequency of monitoring necessary to assess and assure compliance by the industrial user, with applicable pretreatment standards and requirements.

(4) All analyses shall be performed in accordance with procedures established by the EPA pursuant to Section 304(h) of the Act and contained in 40 CFR Part 136 and amendments thereto or with any other test procedures approved by the EPA in accordance with 40 CFR Sections 136.4 and 136.5. Sampling shall be performed in accordance with the techniques approved by the EPA. Where 40 CFR Part 136 does not include sampling or analytical techniques for the pollutants in question or where the EPA determines that the Part 136 sampling and analytical techniques are inappropriate for the pollutant in question, sampling and analyses shall be performed using validated analytical methods or any other sampling and analytical procedures, including procedures suggested by the Utilities Director or other parties approved by EPA.

(5) If an industrial user subject to the reporting requirements monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by the Utilities Director and uses approved wastewater sampling and analytical methods, the results of this monitoring shall be included in their monitoring report.

(1) Except as indicated in subsections (e)(2) and (e)(3) of this section, the user must collect wastewater samples using 24-hour flow proportional composite sampling techniques, unless time proportional composite sampling or grab sampling is authorized by the Utilities Director. Where time proportional composite sampling or grab sampling is authorized by the Utilities Director, 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 24-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 compositing procedures as documented in approved EPA methodologies may be authorized by the Utilities Director, as appropriate. In addition, grab samples may be required to show compliance with instantaneous limits.

(2) Samples for oil and grease, temperature, pH, cyanide, total phenols, sulfides, and volatile organic compounds must be obtained using grab collection techniques.

(3) For sampling required in support of baseline monitoring and 90-day compliance reports required in subsections (a) and (b) of this section (40 CFR Sections 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 Utilities Director may authorize a lower minimum. For the reports required by 40 CFR Sections 403.12(e) and (h), the industrial user is required to collect the number of grab samples necessary to assess and assure compliance with applicable pretreatment standards and requirements.

(1) In the case of any discharge, including, but not limited to, accidental discharges, discharges of a nonroutine, episodic nature, a noncustomary batch discharge, a slug discharge or slug load, that might cause potential problems for the POTW, the user shall immediately telephone and notify the Utilities Director of the incident. This notification shall include the location of the discharge, type of waste, concentration and volume, if known, and corrective actions taken by the user.

(2) Within five days following such discharge, the user shall, unless waived by the Utilities 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 might be incurred as a result of damage to the POTW, 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 chapter.

(3) 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 (g)(1) of this section. Employers shall ensure that all employees who could cause such a discharge to occur are advised of the emergency notification procedure.

(4) Significant industrial users are required to notify the Utilities Director immediately of any changes at its facility affecting the potential for a slug discharge.

(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 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 months;

(3) The user shall submit a progress report to the Utilities Director no later than 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

(4) In no event shall more than nine months elapse between such progress reports to the Utilities Director. (Ord. 20089 § 73, 10-17-17.)
