[Ord. No. 8020, 11-13-2017]
A.
The following conditions shall apply to the compliance schedule required by Section 715.500(B)(7):
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 facilities
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 (9) months;
3.
The user shall submit a progress report to the Wastewater Treatment
Superintendent not later than fourteen (14) days following each date
in the schedule, and following the final date of compliance. Said
report shall include 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 that thirty (30) days elapse between
such progress reports to the Wastewater Treatment Superintendent.
[Ord. No. 8020, 11-13-2017]
Within ninety (90) days following the date for final compliance with applicable categorical pretreatment standards, or in the case of a new source within ninety (90) days following commencement of the introduction of wastewater into the POTW, any user subject to such pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the Wastewater Treatment Superintendent a report containing the information described in Section 715.500(B)(4 — 6). 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 as true, accurate and complete. It shall be in violation of this Chapter to submit a compliance report that is not true, accurate and complete.
[Ord. No. 8020, 11-13-2017]
A.
At a frequency determined by the Wastewater Treatment Superintendent
but in no case less than twice per year (in June and December), all
significant industrial users shall 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 as true, accurate and complete. It shall be
a violation of this Chapter to submit a periodic compliance report
that is not true, accurate and complete.
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.
C.
If a user subject to the reporting requirements in this Section monitors
any pollutant more frequently than required by the Wastewater Treatment
Superintendent by using the sample collection procedures prescribed
in this Chapter, the results of this monitoring shall be included
in the report.
D.
Report best management practices that are currently employed.
[Ord. No. 8020, 11-13-2017]
A.
At least thirty (30) days before the change, each user must notify
the Wastewater Treatment Superintendent of any planned, significant
changes to the user's operations or system which might alter
the nature, quality, or volume of its wastewater.
1.
The Wastewater Treatment Superintendent may require the user
to submit such information as deemed necessary to evaluate the changed
condition, including the submission of a wastewater discharge permit
application.
2.
In response to changed conditions or anticipated changed conditions, the Wastewater Treatment Superintendent may issue a wastewater discharge permit under Section 715.360 or modify an existing wastewater discharge permit in accordance with the procedures of this Chapter.
3.
For purposes of this requirement, significant changes, include,
but are not limited to, flow increases of twenty percent (20%) or
greater, or the discharge of any previously unreported pollutants.
[Ord. No. 8020, 11-13-2017]
A.
In the case of any discharge that may cause potential problems for
the POTW, which shall include accidental discharges, discharges of
a non-routine, episodic nature, a non-customary batch discharge, or
a slug load, the user shall immediately telephone and notify the Wastewater
Treatment Superintendent 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.
Unless waived by the Wastewater Treatment Superintendent, the user
shall submit within five (5) days following such discharge, 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 may be incurred as a result of damage to
the POTW, natural resources, or any other damage to person or property.
Such notification shall not relieve the user of any fines, penalties,
or other liability which may be imposed pursuant to this Chapter.
C.
A notice shall be permanently posted on the user's bulletin board or other prominent place advising employees whom to notify 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 notification procedure.
D.
An industry must report with five (5) days the change in potential
for a slug discharge (i.e. increased storage facilities or new facilities).
[Ord. No. 8020, 11-13-2017]
All users not required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit
shall provide appropriate reports as required by the Wastewater Treatment
Superintendent.
[Ord. No. 8020, 11-13-2017]
If sampling performed by a user indicates a violation, the user
must notify the Wastewater Treatment Superintendent within twenty-four
(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 Wastewater Treatment Superintendent within thirty
(30) days after becoming aware of the violation. However, the user
is not required to repeat the sampling and analysis if the Wastewater
Treatment Superintendent monitors at the user's facility at least
once a month, or if the Wastewater Treatment Superintendent samples
between the user's initial sampling and when the user receives
the results of this sampling. If the POTW performs the sampling and
a violation is indicated, the industry is responsible for the resampling
within thirty (30) days. The POTW sampling holds precedent over any
sampling performed by the industry. This sampling is conducted once
per year during the annual inspection or when cause is given to the
POTW.
[Ord. No. 8020, 11-13-2017]
The City of Maryville POTW does not allow the discharge of any
hazardous waste into the POTW.
[Ord. No. 8020, 11-13-2017]
Unless otherwise specified in an applicable categorical pretreatment
standard, all pollutant analyses, including sampling techniques, to
be submitted as a part of a wastewater discharge permit application
or report shall be performed in accordance with the techniques prescribed
in 40 CFR Part 136. If 40 CFR Part 136 does not contain sampling or
analytical techniques for the pollutant in question, sampling and
analyses must be preformed in accordance with procedures approved
by the EPA.
[Ord. No. 8020, 11-13-2017]
A.
Except as indicated in Subsection (B), below, the user must collect wastewater samples using flow proportional composite collection techniques. However, in the event flow proportional sampling is not feasible, the Wastewater Treatment Superintendent may authorize the use of time proportional sampling or a minimum of four (4) grab samples if 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 techniques.
C.
New industries must submit a baseline report and a ninety (90) day
compliance report. The User shall take a minimum of one (1) representative
sample to compile that data necessary to comply with the requirements
of this Subsection. Samples should be taken immediately downstream
from pretreatment facilities if such exist or immediately downstream
from the regulated process if no pretreatment exists. If other wastewaters
are mixed with the regulated wastewater prior to pretreatment the
uer should measure the flows and concentrations necessary to allow
use of the combined wastestream formula in 40 CFR 403.6(e) to evaluate
compliance with the Pretreatment Standards. 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
to the Control Authority.
[Ord. No. 8020, 11-13-2017]
Written reports will be deemed to have been submitted on the
date postmarked by the United States Postal Service. 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.
[Ord. No. 8020, 11-13-2017]
Users subject to the reporting requirements of this Chapter
shall retain and make available for inspection and copying all records
of information obtained pursuant to any monitoring activities and
for BMPs required by this Chapter and any additional records of information
obtained pursuant to monitoring activities undertaken by the user
independent of such requirements. Records shall include the date,
the exact place, method, and type of sampling; the name of the person(s)
taking the sample; the dates analyses were performed; who performed
the analyses; the analytic techniques or methods used; and the results
of such analyses. These records shall remain available for a period
of at least three (3) years. This period shall be automatically extended
for the period of any litigation concerning the user or the City of
Maryville, or where the user has been specifically notified of a longer
retention period by the Wastewater Treatment Superintendent.
