or exceed the product of the numeric pretreatment standard or requirement,
including instantaneous limits, multiplied by the applicable TRC (TRC=1.4
for BOD, TSS, fats, oil, and grease, and 1.2 for all other pollutants
except pH).
Any other violation of a pretreatment effluent
limit (daily maximum or longer-term average) that the control authority
determines has caused, alone or in combination with other discharges,
interferences or pass-through (including endangering the health of
POTW personnel or the general public);
Any discharge of a pollutant that has caused
imminent endangerment to human health, welfare or to the environment
or has resulted in the POTW's exercise of its emergency authority
under 40 CFR 403.8(f)(1)(vi)(B) to halt or prevent such a discharge;
Failure to meet, within 90 days after the schedule
date, a compliance schedule milestone contained in a local control
mechanism or enforcement order for starting construction, completing

due date, required reports, such as baseline monitoring reports, ninety-day
compliance reports, periodic self-monitoring reports, and reports

which may include a violation of best management practices, which
the POTW determines will adversely affect the operation or implementation
of the local pretreatment program.

or qualities of pollutants that exceed for any time period longer
than 15 minutes more than five times the average twenty-four-hour
concentration, quantities or flow during normal operation.
