§ 15.60.270. Compliance schedule and reports—Requirements.

SIU Compliance Monitoring Reports: All significant industrial users must, at a frequency determined by Metro submit no less than twice per year, on dates specified, reports indicating the nature, 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. In cases where the pretreatment standard requires compliance with a best management practice (BMP) or pollution prevention alternative, the user must submit documentation required by Metro or the pretreatment standard necessary to determine the compliance status of the user. All periodic compliance reports must be signed and certified in accordance with Section 15.60.258.

The following conditions shall apply to the schedule required by Section 15.60.220, 15.60.240 or 15.60.260 of this section:

A.

The schedule shall contain increments of progress in the form of dates for the commencement and completion of major events leading to the construction and operation of additional pretreatment requirements for the industrial user to meet the applicable pretreatment standards and pretreatment requirements (e.g., hiring an engineer, completing preliminary plans, completing final plans, executing contract for major components, commencing construction, completing construction, etc.).

B.

No increment referred to in subsection A. shall exceed nine months.

C.

Not later than fourteen days following each date in the schedule and the final date for compliance, the industrial user shall submit a progress report to the control authority and the director, including, as a minimum, whether or not it complied with the increment of progress to be met on such date and, if not, the date on which it expects to comply with this increment of progress, the reason for the delay, and steps being taken by the industrial user to return the construction to the schedule established. In no event shall more than nine months elapse between such progress reports to the control authority and the director.

D.

Within ninety days, or the date for final compliance given in the industrial user's permit, any industrial user subject to pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the control authority and the director a report indicating the nature and concentration of all pollutants in the discharge from the regulated process which are limited by pretreatment standards and requirements and the average and maximum daily flow for these process units in the industrial user which are limited by such pretreatment standards or requirements. The report shall state whether the applicable pretreatment standards or requirements are being met on a consistent basis and, if not, what additional operation and maintenance procedure or pretreatment is necessary to bring the industrial user into compliance with the applicable pretreatment standards or requirements. This statement shall be signed by an authorized representative of the industrial user, as defined in Section 15.04.060, and certified to by a qualified professional.

E.

Any industrial 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 into the POTW, or subject to a final compliance date in his permit, shall submit to the control authority and the director during the months of June and December, unless required more frequently in the pretreatment standard or by the control authority and 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 15.60.220 (B)(4). At the discretion of the control authority or the director, as applicable, and in consideration of such factors as local high or low flow rates, holidays, budget cycles, etc., the control authority or the director, as applicable, may agree to alter the months during which the above reports are to be submitted.

F.

The control authority or the director, as applicable, may impose mass limitations on industrial users which are using dilution to meet applicable pretreatment standards or requirements or in other cases where the imposition of mass limitations are appropriate. In such cases, the report required by subsection (E) above shall indicate the mass of pollutants regulated by pretreatment standards in the effluent of the industrial user.

G.

The industrial user shall notify the POTW immediately by telephone of any slug loading (within one hour), as defined by Sections 15.60.020 through 15.60.170 of this chapter, by the industrial user.

H.

The reports required in this section shall contain the results of sampling and analysis of the discharge, including the flow and the nature and concentration, or production and mass limits where requested by the control authority or the director, as applicable, of pollutants contained therein which are limited by the applicable pretreatment standards. The frequency of monitoring shall be prescribed in the applicable pretreatment standard. All analyses shall be performed in accordance with procedures established by the Environmental Protection Agency under the provisions of Section 304(h) of the Act (33 U.S.C. 1314(h)) and contained in 40 CFR part 136 and amendments thereto or with any other test procedures approved by the Environmental Protection Agency or the director. Sampling shall be performed in accordance with the techniques approved by the Environmental Protection Agency, or the director, and only by persons or companies approved by the director.

I.

Any industrial user required by this section to submit a similar report to the control authority under the provisions of 40 CFR Section 403.12 may submit to the director a copy of said report in lieu of a separate report to the director provided that all information required by this title is included in the report to the control authority.
