§ 6-13.812. Baseline monitoring report.

Within one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of a categorical pretreatment standard, or the final administrative decision on a category determination, whichever is later, existing users currently discharging, or scheduled to discharge, to the POTW must submit to the Director a report that indicates whether the user meets the categorical pretreatment standard. At least ninety (90) days prior to commencement of their discharge, new sources, and sources that become categorical industrial users subsequent to the promulgation of an applicable categorical pretreatment standard, must submit to the Director a report that contains the information listed below. A new source must report the method of pretreatment it intends to use to meet applicable categorical pretreatment standards. A new source also must give estimates of its anticipated flow and quantity of pollutants to be discharged.

Users described above must submit all of the information below:

(a)

Name and address of the facility;

(b)

Name of the operator and owner(s);

(c)

A list of any environmental control permits held by or for the facility;

(d)

A brief description of the nature, average rate of production, each product produced by type, amount, processes, and rate of production, and SIC and NAICS of the operation(s) carried out by the user. This description must include a schematic process diagram that indicates points of discharge to the POTW from the regulated processes;

(e)

Information showing the measured average 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 wastestream formula, if applicable;

(f)

Measurement and reporting of pollutants:

(1)

The categorical pretreatment standards applicable to each regulated process and any new categorically regulated processes for existing sources;

(2)

The results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration or mass, where required by the pretreatment standard or by the Director, of regulated pollutants in the discharge from each regulated process;

(3)

Instantaneous, daily maximum, and long-term average concentrations or mass, where required, must be reported;

(4)

The sample must be representative of daily operations and analyzed using the techniques set forth in this chapter. Where the pretreatment standard requires compliance with a BMP or pollution prevention alternative, the user must submit documentation as required by the Director or the applicable pretreatment standards to determine compliance with the pretreatment standard;

(5)

The user must take a minimum of one representative sample to compile that data necessary to comply with the requirements of this chapter;

(6)

Samples should be taken immediately downstream from pretreatment facilities if such exist or immediately downstream from the regulated process if no pretreatment exists.

(7)

The Director may allow the submission of a baseline report which utilizes only historical data so long as the data provides information sufficient to determine the need for industrial pretreatment measures; and

(8)

The baseline report must indicate the time, date, and place of sampling and methods of analysis and must certify that such sampling and analysis is representative of normal work cycles and expected pollutant discharges to the POTW.

(g)

A compliance certification statement must be reviewed and certified by a qualified professional, and signed and approved by an authorized representative of the user, indicating whether pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent basis and, if not, whether additional operation, maintenance, and/or additional pretreatment is necessary to meet the pretreatment standards and pretreatment requirements;

(h)

If additional operation, maintenance, and/or pretreatment will be required to meet the pretreatment standards, the shortest compliance schedule by which the user will provide such measures must be provided. The completion date in this schedule must not be later than the compliance date established for the applicable pretreatment standard; and

(i)

All baseline monitoring reports must be signed and certified in accordance with Section 6-13.818 of this chapter.
