Florida Administrative Code › 62 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › 62 - Departmental › Chapter 62-625 - PRETREATMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXISTING AND OTHER SOURCES OF POLLUTION › Section 62-625.600 - Reporting Requirements for Control Authorities and Industrial Users

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Baseline Report for industrial users upon
				effective date of categorical pretreatment standard. Within 180 days after the
				effective date of a categorical pretreatment standard, or 180 days after the
				final administrative decision made upon a category determination request under
				paragraph  62-625.410(2)(d),
				F.A.C., whichever is later, existing industrial users subject to such
				categorical pretreatment standards and currently discharging to, or scheduled
				to discharge to a WWF shall submit to the control authority a report which
				contains the information listed in paragraphs (a)-(g), below. At least 90 days
				prior to commencement of discharge, new sources, and sources that become
				industrial users subsequent to the promulgation of an applicable categorical
				pretreatment standard, shall submit to the control authority a report which
				contains the information listed in paragraphs (a)-(e), below. New sources shall
				include in this report information on the method of pretreatment it intends to
				use to meet applicable pretreatment standards. New sources shall give estimates
				of the information requested in paragraphs (d) and (e), below.
(a) Identifying information. The industrial
				user shall submit the name and address of the facility, including the name of
				the operator and owners.
(b)
				Permits. The industrial user shall submit a list of any pollution control
				permits held by or for the facility.
(c) Description of operations. The industrial
				user shall submit a brief description of the nature, average rate of
				production, and Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes of the
				operations carried out by such industrial user. This description shall include
				a schematic process diagram which indicates points of discharge to the WWF from
				the regulated processes.
(d) Flow
				measurement. The industrial user shall submit information showing the measured
				average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the WWF from each
				of the following:
1. Regulated process
				streams; and,
2. Other streams as
				necessary to allow use of the combined waste stream formula of subsection
				 62-625.410(6),
				F.A.C. The control authority shall allow for verifiable estimates of these
				flows where justified by cost or feasibility
				considerations.
(e)
				Measurement of pollutants.
1. The industrial
				user shall identify the pretreatment standards applicable to each regulated
				process.
2. In addition, the
				industrial user shall submit the results of sampling and analysis identifying
				the nature and concentration (or mass, where required by the pretreatment
				standard or control authority) of regulated pollutants in the discharge from
				each regulated process. Both daily maximum and average concentration (or mass,
				where required) shall be reported. The sample shall be representative of daily
				operations. In cases where the pretreatment standard requires compliance with a
				best management practice or pollution prevention alternative, the industrial
				user shall submit documentation as required by the control authority or the
				applicable standards to determine compliance with the standard.
3. The industrial user shall take a minimum
				of one representative sample to demonstrate data is in compliance with these
				requirements.
4. Samples shall 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 industrial user shall measure the flows and concentrations
				necessary to allow use of the combined waste stream formula of subsection
				 62-625.410(6),
				F.A.C., in order to evaluate compliance with the pretreatment standards. Where
				an alternate concentration or mass limit has been calculated in accordance with
				subsection  62-625.410(6),
				F.A.C., this adjusted limit, along with supporting data, shall be submitted to
				the control authority.
5. All
				activities related to sampling and analysis shall comply with paragraphs (6)(d)
				and (e), and Chapter 62-160, F.A.C.
a.
				Sampling activities shall be performed according to procedures specified in
				"The Department of Environmental Protection Standard Operating Procedures for
				Field Activities, " DEP-SOP-001/01, January 2017, adopted and incorporated by
				reference in paragraph
				 62-160.800(1)(a),
				F.A.C. A copy of this document made be obtained from the Department of
				Environmental Protection, Water Quality Standards Program, 2600 Blair Stone
				Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400.
b. Analytical tests shall be performed in
				accordance with applicable test procedures identified in   40 C.F.R. Part 136, as
				of July 1, 2009, hereby adopted and incorporated by reference. If a test for a
				specific component is not listed in 40 C.F.R. Part 136, or if the test
				procedure has been determined to be inappropriate for the analyte in question
				(e.g., insufficient sensitivity) the laboratory, with the approval of the
				industrial user and control authority, shall identify and propose a method for
				use in accordance with Rules
				 62-160.300 and
				 62-160.330, F.A.C.
c. If a sampling procedure is not available
				or none of the approved procedures are appropriate for collecting the samples,
				the sampling organization, with the approval of the industrial user and control
				authority, shall identify and propose a method for use in accordance with Rule
				 62-160.220,
				F.A.C.
6. The industrial
				user may submit a baseline report which utilizes only historical data so long
				as the data provides information sufficient to determine the need for
				industrial pretreatment measures.
7. The baseline report shall indicate the
				time, date and place, of sampling; methods of analysis; and test results for
				each component and shall certify that such sampling and analysis is
				representative of normal work cycles and expected pollutant discharges to the
				WWF.
(f) Certification. A
				statement, reviewed by an authorized representative of the industrial user
				indicating whether pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent basis,
				and if not, whether additional operation and maintenance (O & M) or
				additional pretreatment is required for the industrial user to meet the
				pretreatment standards and requirements.
(g) Compliance schedule. If additional
				pretreatment or O & M will be required to meet the pretreatment standards,
				the industrial user shall provide such additional pretreatment or O & M as
				specified in a compliance schedule. The completion date in this schedule shall
				not be later than the compliance date established for the applicable
				pretreatment standard.
1. If the categorical
				pretreatment standard has been modified by the combined waste stream formula in
				accordance with subsection
				 62-625.410(6),
				F.A.C., a removal credit in accordance with Rule
				 62-625.420, F.A.C., or a
				fundamentally different factor variance in accordance with Rule
				 62-625.700, F.A.C., at the time
				the industrial user submits the report required by this subsection, the
				information requested in paragraphs (f) and (g), of this subsection, shall
				pertain to the modified limits.
2.
				If the categorical pretreatment standard is modified by the combined waste
				stream formula, a removal credit, or a fundamentally different factor variance
				after the industrial user submits the report required by this subsection, any
				necessary amendment to the information requested in paragraphs (f) and (g), of
				this subsection, shall be submitted by the industrial user to the control
				authority within 60 days after the modified limit is
				approved.
