§ 26.50.270. Baseline monitoring reports.

A.

Within 180 days after either 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 municipal sewerage system shall submit to the utility a report which contains the information listed in subsection B. At least 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 utility a report which contains the information listed in subsection B. 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 thorough description of the nature, average rate of production, and standard industrial classifications of the operation(s) carried out by such user, including a list of all raw materials and chemicals stored at the facility which are, or could accidentally or intentionally be, discharged to the municipal sewerage system; number and type of employees; hours of operation; each product produced by type, amount, process or processes and rate of production; type and amount of raw materials processed (average and maximum per day) and the time and duration of discharges. This description should also include a schematic process diagram, which indicates points of discharge to the municipal sewerage system from the regulated processes.

4.

Flow measurement. Information showing the measured average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the municipal sewerage 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).

5.

Measurement of pollutants.

a.

The user shall identify the applicable categorical pretreatment standards for each regulated or manufacturing process;

b.

In addition, the user shall submit the results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration (or mass) of regulated pollutants in the discharge from each regulated process. Both daily maximum and average concentration (or mass, where required) shall be reported. The sample shall be representative of daily operations and shall conform to sampling and analytical procedures outlined in sections 26.50.290 and 26.50.300. In cases where the standard requires compliance with a BMP or pollution prevention alternative, the user shall submit an Industrial Management Practice Plan (IMP) as described in section 26.50.170.

c.

Where an alternate concentration or mass limit has been calculated in accordance with 40 CFR 403.6(e) this adjusted limit along with supporting data shall be submitted as part of the application.

6.

Certification. A statement, reviewed by an authorized representative of the user and certified by a qualified professional as outlined in section 26.50.210, indicating whether the applicable pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent basis, and, if not, whether additional operation and maintenance and/or additional pretreatment is required for the user to meet the applicable pretreatment standards and requirements;

7.

Compliance schedule. If additional pretreatment and/or operation and maintenance will be required to meet the applicable pretreatment standards, the shortest schedule by which the user will provide such additional pretreatment and/or operation and maintenance. The user's 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 required for the user to meet the applicable pretreatment standards (e.g., hiring an engineer, completing preliminary plans, completing final plans, executing contract for major components, commencing construction, completing construction, etc.) No increment of progress shall exceed nine months. The completion date in this schedule shall not be later than the compliance date established for the applicable pretreatment standard.

8.

Signature and certification. All baseline monitoring reports must be signed and certified in accordance with section 26.50.210.
