[Ord. 422, 10/12/1994; as amended by Ord. 656, 4/9/2015]
1. 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 significant industrial users subject to such categorical pretreatment standards and currently discharging to or scheduled to discharge to the POTW shall submit to the MTMA a report which contains the information listed in Subsection
2 below. At least 90 days prior to commencement of their discharge, new sources and sources that become significant industrial users subsequent to the promulgation of an applicable Categorical Standard shall submit to the MTMA a report which contains the information listed in Subsection
2 below. A new source shall report the method of pretreatment it intends to use to meet applicable pretreatment standards. A new source also shall give estimates of its anticipated flow and quantity of pollutants to be discharged.
2. Users described above shall submit the information set forth below.
A. Identifying Information. The name and address of the facility, including
the name of the operator and owner.
B. Environmental Permits. A list of any environmental control permits
held by or for the facility.
C. 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 industrial user. This description
should include a schematic process diagram which indicates points
of discharge to the POTW from the regulated processes.
D. 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).
E. Measurement of Pollutants.
(1)

each regulated process.
(2)
Submit the results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration and/or mass, where required by the standard or by the MTMA, 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 §
18-350 of this Part.
(3)
Sampling must be performed in accordance with procedures set out in §
18-351 of this Part.
F. Certification. A statement, reviewed by the industrial 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.
G. Compliance Schedule. If additional pretreatment and/or O&M will be required to meet the pretreatment standards, the shortest schedule by which the industrial user will provide such additional pretreatment and/or O&M. 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 §
18-342 of this Part.
H. Signature and Certification. All baseline monitoring reports must be signed and certified in accordance with §
18-326 of this Part.
[Ord. 422, 10/12/1994; as amended by Ord. 656, 4/9/2015]
The following conditions shall apply to the compliance schedule required by §
18-341, Subsection
2G, of this Part:
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 industrial 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 industrial user shall submit a progress report to the MTMA 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.
D. In no event shall more than nine months elapse between such progress
reports to the MTMA.
[Ord. 422, 10/12/1994; as amended by Ord. 656, 4/9/2015]
1. 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 industrial user subject to such pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the MTMA a report containing the information described in §
18-341, Subsection
2D through
F, of this Part.
2. For industrial 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 industrial user's long-term production rate. For all other industrial 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 industrial user's actual production during the appropriate sampling period. All compliance reports must be signed and certified in accordance with §
18-326 of this Part.
[Ord. 422, 10/12/1994; as amended by Ord. 616, 2/7/2007,
§ 3; and by Ord. 656, 4/9/2015]
1. All significant industrial users shall, at a frequency determined by the MTMA, but in no case less than twice per year (in June and December), 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 §
18-326 of this Part.
2. All wastewater samples must be representative of the industrial 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 an industrial user to keep its monitoring
facility in good working order shall not be grounds for the industrial
user to claim that sample results are unrepresentative of its discharge.
3. Where the applicable categorical pretreatment standard requires compliance
with a best management practice (BMP) or pollution prevention alternative,
the User shall submit documentation required by the MTMA or the pretreatment
standard necessary to determine the compliance status of the user.
At the discretion of the MTMA and in consideration of such factors
as local high or low flow rates, holidays, etc., the MTMA may modify
the months during which reports are to be submitted.
4. If an industrial user subject to the reporting requirement in this section monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by MTMA using the procedures prescribed in §
18-351 of this Part, the results of this monitoring shall be included in the report.
[Ord. 422, 10/12/1994; as amended by Ord. 656, 4/9/2015]
1. Each industrial user must notify the MTMA of any planned significant
changes to the industrial user's operations or system which might
alter the nature, quality or volume of its wastewater at least 60
days before the change.
2. The MTMA may require the industrial user to submit such information as may be deemed necessary to evaluate the changed condition, including the submission of a wastewater discharge permit application under §
18-325 of this Part.
3. The MTMA may issue a wastewater discharge permit under §
18-327 of this Part or modify an existing wastewater discharge permit under §
18-332 of this Part in response to changed conditions or anticipated changed conditions.
4. For purposes of this requirement, significant changes include, but
are not limited to, flow increases which are determined significant
by the MTMA and the discharge of any previously unreported pollutants.
[Ord. 422, 10/12/1994]
All industrial users not required to obtain a wastewater discharge
permit shall provide appropriate reports to the MTMA as the MTMA may
require.
[Ord. 422, 10/12/1994]
If sampling performed by an industrial user indicates a violation
of this Part and/or pretreatment standards and/or requirements, the
user must notify the MTMA within 24 hours of becoming aware of the
violation. The industrial user shall also repeat the sampling and
analysis and submit the results of the repeat analysis to the MTMA
within 30 days after becoming aware of the violation. The industrial
user is not required to resample if the MTMA monitors at the industrial
user's facility at least once a month or if the MTMA samples
between the industrial user's initial sampling and when the industrial
user receives the results of this sampling.
[Ord. 422, 10/12/1994; as amended by Ord. 656, 4/9/2015]
1. Any user which commences the discharge of hazardous waste shall notify
the POTW, the EPA Regional Waste Management Division Director and
state hazardous waste authorities, in writing, of any discharge into
the POTW of a substance which, if otherwise disposed of, would be
a hazardous waste under 40 CFR 261. Such notification must include
the name of the hazardous waste as set forth in 40 CFR 261, the EPA
hazardous waste number and the type of discharge (continuous, batch,
other). If the industrial user discharges more than 100 kilograms
of such waste per calendar month to the POTW, the notification also
shall contain the following information, to the extent such information
is known and readily available to the industrial user:
A. An identification of the hazardous constituents contained in the
wastes.
B. An estimation of the mass and concentration of such constituents
in the waste stream discharged during that calendar month.
C. An estimation of the mass of constituents in the waste stream expected
to be discharged during the following 12 months.
2. All notifications must take place no later than 180 days after the discharge commences. Any notification under Subsection
1 need be submitted only once for each hazardous waste discharged. However, notifications of changed conditions must be submitted under §
18-345 of this Part. The notification requirement in this section does not apply to pollutants already reported by industrial users subject to categorical pretreatment standards under the self-monitoring requirements of §§
18-341,
18-343 and
18-344 of this Part.
3. Dischargers are exempt from the requirements of Subsections
1 and
2 above during a calendar month in which they discharge no more than 15 kilograms of hazardous wastes, unless the wastes are acute hazardous wastes as specified in 40 CFR 261.30(d) and 261.33(3). Discharge of more than 15 kilograms of nonacute hazardous wastes in a calendar month, or of any quantity of acute hazardous wastes as specified in 40 CFR 261.30(d) and 261.33(e), requires a one-time notification. Subsequent months during which the user discharges more than such quantities of any hazardous waste do not require additional notification.
4. In the case of any new regulations under § 3001 of RCRA
identifying additional characteristics of hazardous waste or listing
any additional substance as a hazardous waste, the industrial user
must notify the MTMA, the EPA Regional Waste Management Waste Division
Director and state hazardous waste authorities of the discharge of
such substance within 90 days of the effective date of such regulations.
5. In the case of any notification made under this section, the user
shall certify that it has a program in place to reduce the volume
and toxicity of hazardous wastes generated to the degree it has determined
to be economically practical.
6. This provision does not create a right to discharge any substance
not otherwise permitted to be discharged by this Part and/or any pretreatment
standards and/or requirements, a permit issued pursuant to this Part
or any applicable federal or state law.
[Ord. 422, 10/12/1994]
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 136, unless otherwise specified in an applicable categorical
pretreatment standard. If 40 CFR 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 the EPA.
[Ord. 422, 10/12/1994]
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.
