1. (1) In this Regulation, “building effluent” means effluent that has been collected within a building from equipment drains, floor drains or trenches, whether or not it is combined with cooling water; “building effluent monitoring stream” means a building effluent stream on which a sampling point is established under section 7; “building effluent sampling point” means a sampling point established on a building effluent stream under section 7; “building parameter” means a parameter that is listed in subsection 27 (1); “Director”, in relation to obligations of a discharger, means a Director appointed under section 5 of the Act and responsible for the region in which the discharger’s plant is located and includes an alternate named by the Director; “discharger” means an owner or person in occupation or having the charge, management or control of a plant to which this Regulation applies; “event process effluent monitoring stream” means an event process effluent stream on which a sampling point is established under section 7; “event process effluent sampling point” means a sampling point established on an event process effluent stream under section 7; “limited parameter”, (a) in relation to a plant named in Schedule 2, means a parameter for which a limit is specified in Column 4 or 5 of the Table for the plant in Schedule 2, and (b) in relation to a plant named in Schedule 3, means a parameter for which a limit is specified in Column 4 or 5 of the Table for the plant in Schedule 3; “non-event process effluent monitoring stream” means a non-event process effluent stream on which a sampling point is established under section 7; “non-event process effluent sampling point” means a sampling point established on a non-event process effluent stream under section 7; “pick up”, in relation to a sample, means pick up for the purpose of storage, including storage within an automatic sampling device, and transportation to and analysis at a laboratory; “plant” means an industrial facility and the developed property, waste disposal sites and wastewater treatment facilities associated with it; “process change” means a change in equipment, production processes, process materials or treatment processes; “quarter” means all or part of a period of three consecutive months beginning on the first day of January, April, July or October; “semi-annual period” means all or part of a period of six months beginning on the first day of January or July; “storm water effluent” means run-off from a storm event or thaw that is not used in any industrial process. O. Reg. 310/17, s. 1. (2) The following are types of non-event process effluent streams: 1. A stream of effluent that is discharged from a water treatment plant at a plant, whether or not it is combined with cooling water or storm water effluent. 2. A stream of effluent that is discharged from an industrial sewage treatment plant at a plant, whether or not it is combined with cooling water or storm water effluent. 3. A stream of ash transport water that has received treatment, whether or not it is combined with cooling water or storm water effluent. 4. A stream of ash quench water, whether or not it is combined with cooling water or storm water effluent. 5. A stream of boiler seal water, whether or not it is combined with cooling water or storm water effluent. 6. A stream of effluent that is discharged from an oily water separator on a continuous basis at a plant, whether or not it is combined with cooling water or storm water effluent. 7. A stream of effluent that is discharged from an enriching unit stripper, whether or not it is combined with cooling water or storm water effluent. 8. A stream of ash transport water that has not received treatment, whether or not it is combined with cooling water or storm water effluent. (3) The following are types of event process effluent streams: 1. A stream of effluent that is discharged from a coal storage site at a plant, whether or not it is combined with cooling water or storm water effluent. 2. A stream of effluent that is discharged from a radioactive liquid waste management system tank at a plant, whether or not it is combined with cooling water or storm water effluent. 3. A stream of effluent that results from any cleaning or maintenance operations at a plant, whether or not it is combined with cooling water or storm water effluent. 4. A stream of effluent that is discharged from an oily water separator on other than a continuous basis at a plant, whether or not it is combined with cooling water or storm water effluent. 5. A stream of effluent that is discharged from an enriching unit stripper effluent holding lagoon. (4) Despite paragraph 6 of subsection (2) and paragraph 4 of subsection (3), a stream of effluent that is discharged from an oily water separator and consists only of storm water effluent is not a type of non-event process effluent or event process effluent stream. (5) For greater certainty, this Regulation applies both to effluent streams that discharge continuously and to effluent streams that discharge intermittently. (6) An obligation on a discharger to do a thing under this Regulation is discharged if another person has done it on the discharger’s behalf.  O. Reg. 215/95, s. 1. Purpose

2. The purpose of this Regulation is to monitor and control the quality of effluent discharged from the plants listed in Schedule 1.  O. Reg. 215/95, s. 2. Application

3. (1) This Regulation applies to every plant that is listed in Schedule 1, except for, (a) J.C. Keith Thermal Generating Station; and (b) R.L. Hearn Thermal Generating Station. (2) This Regulation applies to a plant named in clause (1) (a) or (b) beginning on the first day on which a non-event process effluent stream flows at the plant. (3) This Regulation does not apply with respect to the discharge of effluent to a municipal sanitary sewer.  O. Reg. 215/95, s. 3. Obligations under Approvals, Orders, etc.

4. For greater certainty, subject to subsection 186 (4) of the Act, the requirements of this Regulation are in addition to and independent of requirements in an approval, order, direction or other instrument issued under any Act.  O. Reg. 215/95, s. 4. By-passes

5. Beginning on April 13, 1998, a discharger shall not permit effluent that would ordinarily flow past a sampling point established under this Regulation to be discharged from the discharger’s plant without flowing past that sampling point, regardless of whether it would be convenient to do so because of a maintenance operation, a breakdown in equipment or any scheduled or unscheduled event.  O. Reg. 215/95, s. 5. Sampling and Analytical Procedures

6. (1) Each discharger shall carry out the establishment of sampling point obligations of this Regulation and the sampling and analysis obligations of this Regulation, including quality control sampling and analysis obligations, in accordance with the procedures described in the Ministry of the Environment publication entitled “Protocol for the Sampling and Analysis of Industrial/Municipal Wastewater”, as amended from time to time.  O. Reg. 240/07, s. 1. (2) Each discharger shall maintain the sampling equipment used at the discharger’s plant for sampling required by this Regulation in a way that ensures that the samples collected at the plant under this Regulation accurately reflect the level of discharge of each limited parameter and building parameter from the plant.  O. Reg. 215/95, s. 6 (2). PART II   SAMPLING POINTS Establishment and Elimination of Sampling Points
