A.
Within either 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 of Wastewater a report which contains the information listed in Subsection B below. 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 Director of Wastewater a report which contains the information listed in Subsection B below. A new source shall report the method of pretreatment it intends to use to meet applicable categorical standards. A new source shall also 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 facility drawing and schematic process diagram that indicates
points of discharge to the POTW from which processes the discharges
originate.
(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 waste stream formula set out in 40 CFR 403.6(e).
(5)
Measurement of pollutants in accordance with the Michigan
Administrative Code R323.231(2)(e).
(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 Wastewater, 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 § 570-57 of this Part 2.
(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 is required to meet pretreatment standards, the user must submit a schedule of compliance to the Director of Wastewater. 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 requirements set out in § 570-49 of this Part 2.
The following conditions shall apply to the compliance schedule required by § 570-48B(7) of this Part 2:
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 months;
C.
The user shall submit a progress report to the Director
of Wastewater 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
D.
In no event shall more than nine months elapse between
such progress reports to the Director of Wastewater.
Within 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 of Wastewater a report containing the information described in § 570-48B(4) through (6) of this Part 2. 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 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 § 570-38 of this Part 2.
A.
All significant industrial users shall, at a frequency determined by the Director of Wastewater but in no case less than twice per year (October 15 and April 15), 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 § 570-38 of this Part 2. (The Director of Wastewater may choose to sample and analyze the discharge for the user.)
B.
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.
Each user must notify the Director of Wastewater
of any planned significant changes to the user's operations or system
which might alter the nature, quality, or volume of its wastewater.
Notification must be received 30 days before the change is implemented.
A.
In the case of any discharge, including, but not limited
to, accidental discharges, discharges of a nonroutine, episodic nature,
a noncustomary batch discharge, or a slug load that may cause potential
problems for the POTW, the user shall immediately telephone and notify
the Director of Wastewater (734-241-5926) 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.
B.
Within five days following such discharge, the user
shall, unless waived by the Director of Wastewater, submit a detailed
written report describing the cause(s) of the discharge and the measures
to be taken by the user to prevent a reoccurrence. Such notification
shall not relieve the user of any expense, loss, damage or other liability
which may 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 Part 2.
C.
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 A above. Employers shall ensure that all employees, who may cause such a discharge to occur, are advised of the emergency notification procedure.
All users not required to obtain a wastewater
discharge permit shall provide appropriate reports to the Director
of Wastewater as the Director of Wastewater may require.
If sampling performed by a user indicates a
violation, the user must notify the Director of Wastewater within
24 hours of becoming aware of the violation. The user shall also repeat
the sampling and analysis and submit the results of the repeat analysis
to the Director of Wastewater within 30 days after becoming aware
of the violation. The user is not required to resample if the Director
of Wastewater monitors at the user's facility at least once a month,
or if the Director of Wastewater samples between the user's initial
sampling and when the user receives the results of this sampling.
The City of Monroe prohibits the discharge of
hazardous wastes.
All pollutant analyses, including sampling techniques,
to be submitted as part of a wastewater discharge permit application
or report shall be performed in accordance with the techniques prescribed
in 40 CFR Part 136, unless otherwise specified in an applicable categorical
pretreatment standard. If 40 CFR Part 136 does not contain sampling
or analytical techniques for the pollutant in question, sampling and
analyses must be performed in accordance with procedures approved
by EPA.
A.
Except as indicated in Subsection B below, the user must collect wastewater samples using flow-proportional composite collection techniques. In the event flow-proportional sampling is infeasible, the Director of Wastewater may authorize the use of time-proportional sampling or a minimum of four grab samples where the user demonstrates that this will provide a representative sample of the effluent being discharged. In addition, grab samples may be required to show compliance with instantaneous discharge limits.
B.
Samples for oil and grease, temperature, pH, cyanide,
phenols, sulfides and volatile organic compounds must be obtained
using grab collection techniques.
Written reports will be deemed to have been
submitted on the date postmarked. For reports which are not mailed,
postage prepaid, into a mail facility serviced by the United States
Postal Service, the date of receipt of the report shall govern.
Users subject to the reporting requirements
of this Part 2 shall retain, and make available for inspection and
copying, all records of information obtained pursuant to any monitoring
activities required by this Part 2 and any additional records of information
obtained pursuant to monitoring activities undertaken by the user
independent of such requirements. Records shall include the date,
exact place, method and time of sampling, and the name of the person(s)
taking the samples; the dates analyses were performed; who performed
the analyses; the analytical techniques or methods used; and the results
of such analyses. These records shall remain available for a period
of at least three years. This period shall be automatically extended
for the duration of any litigation concerning the user or the City
of Monroe as operator, or where the user has been specifically notified
of a longer retention period by the Director of Wastewater.
The Director of Wastewater may require a user
to install a monitoring facility to allow inspection, sampling and
flow measurement. When required, the monitoring facility must be provided
and operated totally at the user's expense. The monitoring facility
should normally be situated on the user's premises, but the Director
may, when such a location would be impractical or cause undue hardship
on the user, allow the facility to be constructed in the public street
or sidewalk area and located so that it will not be obstructed by
landscaping or parked vehicles. There shall be ample room in or near
such sampling manhole or facility to allow accurate sampling and preparation
of samples for analysis. The facility sampling and measuring equipment
shall be maintained at all times in a safe and proper operating condition
at the expense of the user. Whether constructed on public or private
property, the sampling and monitoring facilities shall be provided
in accordance with plans and specifications submitted to and approved
by the Director and all applicable local construction standards and
specifications. Construction shall be completed within 90 days following
written notification by the Director.
To determine the sewage flow from any establishment,
the Director may use one of the following methods:
A.
The amount of water supplied to the premises by a
publicly owned water system or a private water company as shown upon
the water meter if the premises is metered;
B.
If such premises is supplied with river water or water
from a private water company as shown upon the water meter if the
premises is metered;
C.
If such premises is used for an industrial or commercial
purpose of such a nature that the water supplied to the premises cannot
be entirely discharged into the sewer system, the estimate of the
amount of sewage discharged into the sewer system made by the Director
from the water, gas or electric supply;
D.
The number of gallons of sewage discharged into the sewer system as determined by measurements and samples taken at a manhole installed by the owner of the property served by the sewer system at his own expense in accordance with the terms and conditions of the permit issued by the Director pursuant to Article VII; or
E.
A figure determined by the Director by any combination
of the foregoing or by any other equitable method.
