§ 34-204. Reporting requirements.

(a)

Basic data. Any new or existing nondomestic user may be required by the public services director to provide information needed to implement the provisions of this article, state and federal law and regulations. Any nondomestic user may be required to provide periodic updates of this basic data. Following review of the data provided by the user, the public services director may require additional information as necessary to evaluate the discharge or potential discharge from the user. Information requirements may include but are not limited to:

(1)

Information on the nature, rate of production and Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) of the operation(s) carried out by the user;

(2)

Information on wastewater discharge volume and variation;

(3)

Information on wastewater constituents and characteristics, including but not limited to those specifically regulated by this article, as determined by chemical and biological analyses;

(4)

Site plans, floor plans, mechanical and/or plumbing plans of the users property and facilities showing sewers, sewer connections, control manholes or sampling facilities, and pretreatment facility locations as applicable;

(5)

Details of wastewater pretreatment facilities;

(6)

Information relative to the type and volume of toxic or hazardous materials produced, handled, stored, or used in what quantity and rate these materials are discharged or potentially discharged to the sewage works;

(7)

Details of spill prevention or containment practices and facilities;

(8)

A statement, signed by an authorized representative of the user, regarding whether or not the user's discharge is in compliance on a consistent basis with any applicable categorical pretreatment standard or other limitation of this article and if not, whether additional operation and maintenance procedures and/or additional pretreatment is required for the user to meet applicable standards;

(9)

When a discharge is not in compliance the user may be required to detail the necessary changes in operation and/or additional pretreatment facilities required to achieve compliance and the shortest schedule for their implementation;

(10)

Number of employees, hours of operation of plant and hours of operation of pretreatment facilities and discharge therefrom;

(b)

Changes. All industrial users are required to notify the public services director prior to the discharge of any new wastewater constituents, or any substantial change in the volume or characteristics of the wastewater constituents being discharged, or any substantial change in the basic data reported under subsection (a).

(c)

Self-monitoring reports. The public services director may require any industrial user to submit self-monitoring reports on waste discharge volume, specific pollutant analyses, and other information as necessary to assure compliance with federal categorical pretreatment standards and local limitations. At a minimum all Class I users shall be required to submit self-monitoring reports at least once every six (6) months unless all the information required in the report is obtained directly by the city. Such self-monitoring reports shall be based on data obtained through appropriate and representative sampling and analysis performed during the period covered by the report. If the user monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by the director, using procedures conforming to section 34-172 (measurements and tests), then the results of this monitoring shall be included in the report.

(d)

Additional reporting requirements for categorical industrial users. Industrial users subject to federal categorical pretreatment standards shall be required to comply with the reporting requirements of 40 CFR 403.12.

(e)

Compliance schedules and reporting thereon.

(1)

If additional pretreatment facilities or operation and maintenance efforts are required of an industrial user to meet federal categorical pretreatment standards and/or local limits, [the] public services director may require the development and submission of a compliance schedule by the industrial user. The schedule shall detail the proposed commencement and completion dates of major elements leading to the construction and/or operation of the necessary pretreatment facilities with final completion by the date required by the federal categorical pretreatment standards or as approved by the director, whichever is sooner. No incremental step in the compliance schedule shall exceed nine (9) months. Upon review and approval by the public services director, the compliance schedule may be incorporated into an order of determination, consent order or other enforceable document issued to the user pursuant to this article.

(2)

Not later than fourteen (14) days following the completion of each date in the schedule and the final date for compliance, the user shall submit a progress report to the public services director. The report shall include a statement as to whether or not the user complied with the increment of progress as set forth in the compliance schedule. If the schedule was not met, the user shall report the reason(s) for failing to meet the schedule, the date the user expects to complete the increment of progress, and the steps being taken by the user to return to the established compliance schedule.
