Public notification. The Village will publish, in the official daily newspaper(s), informal notice of intent to issue a wastewater discharge permit at least 14 days prior to issuance.
Base line report. Within 180 days after promulgation of an applicable federal categorical pretreatment standard, a user subject to that standard shall submit to the Superintendent the information required by this article.
Compliance date report. Within 90 days following the date for final compliance with applicable pretreatment standards or, in the case of a new source, following commencement of the introduction of wastewater into the POTW, any user subject to pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the Superintendent a report indicating the nature and concentration of all pollutants in the discharge from the regulated process which are limited by pretreatment standards and requirements and the average and maximum daily flow for these process units in the user facility which are limited by such pretreatment standards or requirements. The report shall state whether the applicable pretreatment standards or requirements are being met on a consistent basis and, if not, what additional O&M and/or pretreatment is necessary to bring the user into compliance with the applicable pretreatment standards or requirements. This statement shall be signed by an authorized representative of the industrial user and certified to by a qualified professional.
Any user subject to a pretreatment standard, after the compliance date of such pretreatment standard, or, in the case of a new source, after commencement of the discharge into the POTW, shall submit to the Superintendent during the months of June and December, unless required more frequently in the pretreatment standard or by the Superintendent, a report indicating the nature and concentration of pollutants in the effluent which are limited by such pretreatment standards. In addition, this report shall include a record of all daily flows which during the reporting period exceeded the average daily flow. At the discretion of the Superintendent and in consideration of such factors as local high- or low-flow rates, holidays, budget cycles, etc., the Superintendent may agree to alter the months during which the above reports are to be submitted.
The Superintendent may impose mass limitations on users which are suspected of using dilution to meet applicable pretreatment standards or requirements or in other cases where the imposition of mass limitations is appropriate. In such cases, the report required by Subsection C(1) of this section shall indicate the mass of pollutants regulated by pretreatment standards in the effluent of the user. These reports shall contain the results of sampling and analysis of the discharge, including the flow and the nature and concentration, or production and mass where requested by the Superintendent, of pollutants contained therein which are limited by the applicable pretreatment standard. All analyses shall be performed in accordance with procedures established and contained in 40 CFR, Part 136, and amendments thereto, or with any other test procedures by the Superintendent.* Sampling shall be performed in accordance with the techniques approved by the Superintendent.
*NOTE: Where 40 CFR, Part 136, does not include a sampling or analytical technique for the pollutant in question, sampling and analysis shall be performed in accordance with the procedures set forth in the EPA publication, Sampling and Analysis Procedures for Screening of Industrial Effluents for Priority Pollutants, April 1977, and amendments thereto, or with any other sampling and analytical procedures approved by the Superintendent.
All significant industrial users and other industrial users whose industrial waste discharge has caused or may cause interference or pass-through shall install and maintain a suitable monitoring station on their industrial waste discharge to facilitate observation, sampling and measurement of the wastes. The Superintendent shall require that such monitoring station include equipment for the continuous measurement and recording of wastewater flow rate and for the sampling of the wastewater at intervals of time. Such station shall be accessibly and safely located, and the industrial user shall allow immediate access to the station by the Superintendent or his designated representatives.
When preliminary treatment, flow equalizing facilities or monitoring stations are provided for any waters or wastes, they shall be constructed and maintained continuously in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner at his expense. Where an industrial user has such treatment, equalization or monitoring facilities at the time this chapter is enacted, the Superintendent shall have the power to approve or disapprove of the adequacy of such facilities. Where construction of new or upgraded facilities for treatment, equalization or monitoring is required, plans and specifications prepared by a licensed professional engineer for such facilities shall be submitted to the Superintendent. No construction of such new or upgraded facilities shall commence until approval of the Superintendent is obtained in writing.
All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes required in any section of this chapter shall be carried out in accordance with the most recent edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater and in accordance with regulations promulgated by the USEPA in 40 CFR, Part 136, Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants. Such samples shall be taken at the approved monitoring stations, if such a station exists. If an approved monitoring station is not required, samples shall be taken from another manhole or other structure on the industrial sewer lateral before discharge to the public sewer. Unless specifically requested otherwise or unless specifically not allowed in federal regulations, samples shall be gathered as composite samples made up of individual samples taken not less than once per hour for a period of time equal to the duration of industrial waste discharge during daily operations.
Each user shall provide for protection from accidental discharges of prohibited materials or of materials in volume or concentration exceeding limitations of this chapter or of an industrial wastewater permit. Detailed plans and procedures to provide for this protection shall be submitted to the Superintendent when so requested. Users shall immediately notify the Superintendent of the discharge of wastes in violation of this chapter or a permit resulting from breakdown of pretreatment equipment, accidents caused by human error or negligence or by mechanical failure or other causes, such as acts of nature, to allow the Village to take countermeasures. The Superintendent shall be notified within five days of such occurrence by a detailed written statement describing the causes of the discharge and the measures being taken to prevent future occurrences.
In order that employees of industrial users are informed of Village requirements, a notice shall be permanently posted on appropriate bulletin boards within the user's facility advising employees of Village requirements and whom to call in case of an accidental discharge in violation of this chapter.
When so requested in advance by an industrial user and when taking a sample of industrial wastewater, Village representatives shall gather sufficient volume of sample so that the sample can be split into two equal volumes. One of the volumes then shall be given to the industry whose wastewater was sampled, and the other shall be kept by the Village for its own analysis.
When requested, the Superintendent shall make available to the public for inspection and/or copying information and data on industrial users obtained from reports, questionnaires, permit applications, permit and monitoring programs and from inspections, unless the industrial user specifically requests and is able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Superintendent that such information, if made public, would divulge processes or methods of production entitled to protection as trade secrets of the user. Wastewater constituents and characteristics will not be recognized as confidential.
Confidential information shall not be made available for inspection and/or copying by the public but shall be disclosed upon written request to governmental agencies for uses related to this chapter, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit or the State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permit, provided that the governmental agency making the request agrees to hold the information confidential in accordance with state or federal laws and regulations. The Superintendent shall give written notice to the industrial user of any disclosure of confidential information to another governmental agency.
