A.    Any discharger subject to a pretreatment standard set forth in this chapter, after the compliance date of such pretreatment standard, or in the case of a new discharger, after commencement of the discharge to the city, shall submit to the city during the months of June and December, unless the discharger chooses to do self-monitoring for high-strength surcharges of which the timetable would be monthly, a report indicating the nature and concentration, of prohibited or regulated substances in the effluent which are limited by the pretreatment standards hereof. In addition, this report shall include a record of all measured or estimated average and maximum daily flow during the reporting period. Flow shall be reported on the basis of actual measurement; provided, however, where cost feasibility considerations justify, the city may accept reports of average and maximum daily flows estimated by verifiable techniques. The city, for good cause shown considering such factors as local high or low flow rates, holidays, budget cycles, or other extenuating factors, may authorize the submission of such reports on months other than those specified above.

    B.    All wastewater user reports must be signed by an authorized representative of the user and contain the following information:

    I certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information.

    C.    Within one hundred eighty days after the effective date of a categorical pretreatment standard, or one hundred eighty days after the final administrative decision made on a category, whichever is later, existing industrial users subject to such categorical pretreatment standards and currently discharging to or scheduled to discharge to a POTW will be required to submit to the city a report containing the information listed in paragraph (b)(1)-(7) of 40 CFR 403.12(b).

    D.    Upon promulgation of a categorical pretreatment standard, the city will provide the appropriate form to the dischargers who are affected by the promulgated standard. The dischargers are then required to submit the completed report to the city.

    E.    Reports of dischargers shall contain all results of sampling and analysis of the discharge, including the flow and the nature and concentration, or production and mass where required by the city. The frequency of monitoring by the discharger shall be as prescribed in the applicable pretreatment standard in the discharger's wastewater permit. All analyses shall be performed in accordance with 40 CFR, Part 136 and Amendments thereto.

    F.    Such measurements, test and analysis shall be made at the user's expense. If made by the city, an appropriate charge may be assessed to the user at the option of the city.

    G.    Self-monitoring reports from categorical significant industrial users must be signed only by certain corporate officers or authorized representatives designated by the director. (Ord. 99-16 (part), 1999)
