Division 6 — NONDOMESTIC WASTEWATER DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS

(a)

All users shall provide the necessary wastewater treatment required to comply with this article and shall achieve compliance with all applicable categorical standards within the time limitations specified therein, or within the time established by the state or by the public works director, whichever is more stringent. Any facilities required to pretreat wastewater to a level acceptable to the public works director shall be provided, operated and maintained at the user's expense.

(b)

Detailed plans showing the pretreatment facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the public works director for review and shall be acceptable to the public works director before construction of the facility. The city's review of such plans and operating procedures will not relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying the facility as necessary to produce an effluent which complies with all provisions of this article.

(c)

Whenever deemed necessary, the public works director may require users to restrict their discharge during peak flow periods, designate that certain wastewater be discharged only into specific sewers, relocate and/or consolidate points of discharge, separate sewage waste streams from industrial waste

streams, and such other conditions as may be necessary to protect the POTW and determine the user's compliance with the requirements of this chapter.

(d)

The public works director may require any person discharging into the POTW to install and maintain, on their property and at their expense, a suitable storage and flow-control facility to ensure equalization of flow. A wastewater discharge permit may be issued solely for flow equalization.

(e)

The user shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the user to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by an industrial user when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit.

(f)

Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter.

(g)

Waste solids and/or liquids containing pollutants removed in the course of the user's pretreatment processes shall be properly disposed of in a manner such as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering the sewerage system

(Ord. No. 1984, § 2(Exh. A), 3-10-26)

(a)

The city may require, at the user's expense, installation and operation of monitoring facilities to allow inspection of discharges to the sewer system and collection of wastewater samples. The monitoring facilities, including sampling and monitoring equipment, shall be maintained at all times in a safe and proper operating condition at the expense of the user.

(b)

Monitoring facilities shall normally be situated on private property, but the city may, when such a location would be impractical, allow the facilities to be constructed in a public right-of-way.

(c)

There shall be ample room and a 120-volt power outlet in or near monitoring facilities to allow installation of portable sampling and monitoring equipment.

(d)

Construction drawings for proposed monitoring facilities shall be approved by the public works director prior to construction. The sampling and monitoring facilities shall be constructed in accordance with the city's requirements and all applicable local construction standards and specifications. Construction shall be completed within 90 days following written approval by the public works director.

(Ord. No. 1984, § 2(Exh. A), 3-10-26)

The public works director may require any significant industrial user to install and operate a flow measuring device capable of continuously monitoring the flow of the user's discharge to the sewer system. The flow measurement device shall conform to standards established by the public works director.

(Ord. No. 1984, § 2(Exh. A), 3-10-26)

Every person who discharges nondomestic wastewater to the sewer system shall keep domestic wastewater separate from nondomestic wastewater until the nondomestic wastewater has passed through any required pretreatment facility or facilities.

(Ord. No. 1984, § 2(Exh. A), 3-10-26)

(a)

Any person so required by the public works director shall install and maintain a gravity separation interceptor.

(b)

A gravity separation interceptor must meet the following specifications:

(1)

Unless otherwise specific in this section, interceptors shall have an operational fluid capacity of not less than 100 gallons.

a.

Food processing facilities shall have interceptors with a minimum fluid capacity of 750 gallons, or as required by appendix H of the latest edition of the California Plumbing Code, whichever is greater.

b.

Vehicle servicing facility with the capacity for washing or cleaning more than one vehicle at a time, the interceptor shall be as large as necessary so that a seven-day accumulation of sand and oil together will not fill more than 25 percent of the fluid capacity.

(2)

Interceptors shall be watertight, structurally sound and durable.

(3)

Interceptors shall be designed so as to retain any material, e.g., oil and grease, which will float and any material, e.g., sand, which will settle.

(4)

Interceptors of less than 750 gallons capacity and interceptors for food processing facilities shall have two chambers.

(5)

Interceptors of 750 gallons capacity or larger, except those designed for food processing facilities, shall have a minimum of two chambers.

(6)

All interceptor chambers shall be immediately accessible at all times for the purpose of inspection and cleaning. At no time shall any material, debris, obstacles or obstructions be placed in such a manner so as to prevent immediate access to the interceptor.

(7)

All interceptors shall be equipped with a sample chamber located at the downstream end of the final interceptor unit. The sample chamber shall have a minimum 24-inch clear round opening and a 47-inch height minimum for the temporary installation of the city's portable automatic sampling equipment.

(8)

All domestic wastewater from restrooms, showers, and drinking fountains shall be kept separate until the nondomestic wastewater has passed through the interceptor.

(9)

Two-way cleanouts shall be installed between the building and interceptor, and downstream of sample box. See section 23-253 regarding cleanouts.

(c)

Interceptors legally and properly installed before December 18, 1990, shall be acceptable as an alternative to the interceptor specified in this section, provided such interceptor is effective in removing floatable and settleable material and is so designed and installed that it can be inspected and properly maintained. This subsection shall not apply to interceptors required by sections 23-161 and 23-163.

(d)

If the building official or public works director finds that an interceptor is incapable of adequately retaining the floatable and settleable material in the wastewater flow, is structurally incomplete, or is undersized, he shall condemn such interceptor and declare that it does not meet the requirements of this section and shall require the user to install, at the user's expense, an acceptable interceptor.

(e)

If a gravity separation interceptor is required, the building official shall only approve plumbing plans which include an interceptor which meets the requirements of this section.

(1)

Interceptor and sample box manufacturer specifications shall be included in the plan submittal. Equipment must be installed to match the approved design plan specifications. Any deviation in manufacturer, type, location, layout, or design will require prior approval by building official and public works director through the plan check process. Equal or equivalent pretreatment equipment installations will not be accepted without prior approval through plan check process.

(f)

Maintenance. Any user who owns, operates or maintains a gravity separation interceptor shall maintain it according to the user's wastewater discharge permit or as necessary to ensure that sediment and floating materials do not accumulate to impair the efficiency of the interceptor. The use of chemicals to dissolve grease is specifically prohibited. When an interceptor is cleaned, the accumulated sediment and floating material shall be removed and legally disposed of by means other than discharge to the sewer system. An interceptor is not considered to be properly maintained if for any reason it is not in good working condition or if the operational fluid capacity has been reduced by more than 25 percent by the accumulation of floating and settled solids, fats, oils and grease. The owner of any facility required to install an interceptor, the lessee and sublessee, if there be such, and any proprietor, operator or public works director of such facility are individually and severally liable for any failure of proper maintenance of such interceptor. If the interceptor is not properly maintained under the conditions of use, the public works director may require that the interceptor be resized and replaced.

(Ord. No. 1984, § 2(Exh. A), 3-10-26)

Each industrial and commercial user so required by the fire marshal or building official shall install spill containment systems which conform to requirements established by the fire marshal or building official. No person shall operate a spill containment system that allows incompatible liquids to mix thereby creating hazardous or toxic substances in the event of failure of one or more containers. Spill containment systems shall consist of a system of dikes, walls, barriers, berms, secondary vessels or other devices designed to contain spillage of the liquid contents of containers. Spill containment systems shall be constructed of impermeable and nonreactive materials to the liquids being contained. Spill containment systems shall conform to local regulations and policies as to percent containment, container type and size.

(Ord. No. 1984, § 2(Exh. A), 3-10-26)

(a)

A user may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause pretreatment standards or requirements to be violated, but only if it is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the provision of subsections (b), (c), and (d) of this section.

(b)

Bypass is prohibited, and the public works director may take enforcement action against a user for a bypass, unless:

(1)

Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury, or severe property damage;

(2)

There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes, or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate back-up equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and

(3)

The user submitted notices as required under subsections (c) and (d) of this section.

(c)

If a user knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior notice to the public works director, if possible, at least ten days before the date of the bypass.

(d)

A user shall submit oral notice to the public works director of an unanticipated bypass that exceeds applicable pretreatment standards within 24 hours from the time it becomes aware of the bypass. A written submission shall also be provided within five days of the time the user becomes aware of the bypass. The written submission shall contain a description of the bypass and its cause; the duration of the bypass, including exact dates and times, and, if the bypass has not been corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to continue; and steps taken or planned to reduce, eliminate, and prevent recurrence of the bypass. The public works director may waive the written report on a case-by-case basis if the oral report has been received within 24 hours.

(e)

The public works director may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects, if the public works director determines that it will meet the three conditions listed in subsection (b) of this section. Notification provided pursuant to subsection (d) shall not relieve the user of liability for any expense, loss, damage, or other liability which may be incurred as a result of damage or loss to the city, the applicable control authority or any other damage or loss to person or property; nor shall such notification relieve the user of any fines, penalties, or other liability which may be imposed under this chapter or other applicable law.

(Ord. No. 1984, § 2(Exh. A), 3-10-26)

All industrial and commercial users shall keep and make available for inspection and copying, all records of information obtained pursuant to any monitoring activities required under this article or taken by the user independent of such requirements, including, but not limited to records of waste hauling, reclamations, monitoring, pH and flow measuring device calibration reports, sample analysis data, flow and pH meter chart recordings, records of pretreatment equipment maintenance, interceptor and clarifier maintenance and cleaning, and correspondence with the city, and any documents associated with best management practices. Records shall include the date, exact place, method, and time of sampling, and the name of the person(s) taking the samples; the dates analyses were performed; who performed the analyses; the analyses; the analytical techniques or methods used; and the results of such analyses. All these records are subject to inspection and shall be copied as needed. All records must be kept on the site of generation for a minimum period of three years. The records retention period shall be automatically extended for the duration of any litigation concerning the user, the city, IEUA, or the City of Rialto, or where the user has been specifically notified of a longer retention period by the public works director.

(Ord. No. 1984, § 2(Exh. A), 3-10-26)

(a)

Within either 180 days after the effective date of a categorical standard, or the final administrative decision on a category determination under 40 CFR 403.6(a)(4), whichever is later, existing categorical industrial users currently discharging to or scheduled to discharge to the POTW shall submit to the public works director a report which contains the information listed below in subsection (b). At least 90 days prior to commencement of their discharge, new sources, and sources that become categorical industrial users subsequent of the promulgation of an applicable categorical standard, shall submit to the public works director a report which contains the information listen in subsection (b). A new source shall report the method of pretreatment it intends to use to meet applicable categorical standards. A new source also shall give estimates of its anticipated flow and quantity of pollutants to be discharged.

b.

The user shall take a minimum of one representative sample to compile the data necessary to comply with the requirements of this subsection;

c.

Samples should 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 user should measure the flows and concentration necessary to allow use of the combined wastestream formula in 40 CFR 403.6(e) to evaluate compliance with the pretreatment standards. Where an alternate concentration or mass limit has been calculated in accordance with 40 CFR 403.6(e) this adjusted limit along with supporting data shall be submitted to the public works director;

d.

Sampling and analysis shall be performed in accordance with section 23-204;

e.

The public works director may allow the submission of a baseline monitoring report which utilizes only historical data so long as the data provides information sufficient to determine the need for industrial pretreatment measures;

f.

The baseline monitoring report shall indicate the time, date and place of sampling and methods of analysis, and shall certify that such sampling and analysis is representative of normal work cycles and expected pollutant discharges to the sewer system.

(3)

Compliance certification. A statement, reviewed by the user's authorized representative as defined in section 23-1 and certified by a registered California professional engineer, indicating whether pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent basis, and, if not, whether additional operation and maintenance (O&M), additional pretreatment, or both is required to meet the pretreatment standards and requirements.

(4)

Compliance schedule. If additional pretreatment, O&M, or both will be required to meet the pretreatment standards, the shortest schedule by which the user will provide such additional pretreatment, O&M, or both must be provided. The completion date in this schedule shall not be later than the compliance date established for the applicable pretreatment standard. A compliance schedule pursuant to this section must meet the requirements set out in section 23-195.

(5)

Signature and report certification. All baseline monitoring reports must be certified in accordance with section 23-206 and signed by an authorized representative as defined in section 23-1.

(Ord. No. 1984, § 2(Exh. A), 3-10-26)

The following conditions shall apply to the compliance schedule required by subsection 23-194(b)(4):

(1)

The schedule shall contain progress increments in the form of dates for the commencement and completion of major events leading to the construction and operation of additional pretreatment facilities or O&M required for the user to meet the applicable pretreatment standards (such events include, but are not limited to, hiring an engineer, completing preliminary and final plans, executing contracts for major components, commencing and completing construction, and beginning and conducting routine operation);

(2)

No increment referred to above shall exceed nine months;

(3)

The user shall submit a progress report, certified in accordance with section 23-206, to the public works director no later than 14 days following each date in the schedule and the final date of compliance including, as a minimum, whether or not it complied with the increment of progress, the reason for any delay, and, if appropriate, the steps being taken by the user to return to the established schedule;

(4)

In no event shall more than nine months elapse between such progress reports to the public works director.

(Ord. No. 1984, § 2(Exh. A), 3-10-26)

Within 90 days following the date for final compliance with applicable categorical standards, or in the case of a new source following commencement of the introduction of wastewater into the POTW, any user subject to such pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the public works director a report containing the information described in subsections 23-218(a)(6)—(7) and 23-194(b)(2). For users subject to equivalent mass or concentration limits established in accordance with the procedures in section 23-138, this report shall contain a reasonable measure of the user's long-term production rate. For all other users subject to categorical standards expressed in terms of allowable pollutant discharge per unit of production (or other measure of operation), this report shall include the user's actual production during the appropriate sampling period. All compliance reports must be signed and certified in accordance with section 23-206. All sampling will be done in conformance with section 23-204.

(Ord. No. 1984, § 2(Exh. A), 3-10-26)

(a)

All users must submit, at a minimum during June and December of each year, periodic compliance reports indicating the nature, concentration of pollutants which are limited by pretreatment standards and the measured or estimated average daily flows and maximum daily flows for the reporting period. The reports must include all monitoring data specified in the applicable categorical standard and any additional monitoring data obtained by the user if the user monitors any regulated pollutant at the appropriate sampling location more frequently than required by the public works director, using procedures prescribed in section 23-204.

(b)

All periodic compliance reports must be signed and certified in accordance with section 23-206.

(c)

All wastewater samples must be representative of the user's discharge. Wastewater monitoring and flow measurements facilities shall be properly operated, kept clean and maintained in good working order at all times. The failure of a user to keep its monitoring facility in good working order shall not be grounds for the user to claim that sample results are unrepresentative of its discharge.

(Ord. No. 1984, § 2(Exh. A), 3-10-26)

Each user must notify the public works director of any significant changes to the user's operations or system which might alter the nature, quality or volume of its wastewater at least 30 days before the change.

(1)

The public works director may require the user to submit such information as may be deemed necessary to evaluate the changed condition, including submission of a wastewater discharge permit application under section 23-218.

(2)

The public works director may issue a wastewater discharge permit under section 23-223 or modify an existing wastewater discharge permit under section 23-221 in response to changed conditions or anticipated changed conditions.

(Ord. No. 1984, § 2(Exh. A), 3-10-26)

(a)

If, for any reason, pollutants are discharged at a flow rate or concentration which might cause interference with the POTW or pass-through or which might result in a violation of NPDES permit requirements or requirements of this article or a hazard to city or control authority personnel or the public, the industrial user shall verbally notify the public works director and control authority's director immediately. This notification shall include the location of the discharge, type of waste, concentration and volume, if known, and corrective actions taken or planned by the user.

(b)

The verbal report shall be followed by a detailed written report submitted to the public works director within five days. The written report shall describe the cause(s) of the discharge and the measures to be taken by the user to prevent similar future occurrences. Such notification shall not relieve the user of any expense, loss, damage, or other liability which might be incurred as a result of damage to the POTW, natural resources, or any other damage to person or property; nor shall such notification relieve the user of any fines, penalties, or other liability which may be imposed under this chapter.

(c)

A notice shall be permanently posted on the user's bulletin board or other prominent place advising employees who to call in the event of a discharge described in subsection (a), above. Employers shall ensure that all employees who could cause such a discharge to occur are advised of the emergency notification procedures.

(d)

Significant industrial users are required to notify the public works director and the applicable control authority's director immediately of any changes at its facility affecting the potential for a slug discharge.

(e)

A user shall notify the public works director at least ten days in advance of any planned production, operational change, maintenance activity that may cause a violation of the user's permit or this article. The notification shall describe the potential problem, actions the user is taking to prevent a discharge violation, and the contingency plans that will be used if a violation were to occur.

(f)

The user shall also repeat the sampling and analysis and submit the results of the repeat analysis to the city within 30 days after becoming aware of the violation.

(Ord. No. 1984, § 2(Exh. A), 3-10-26)

Industrial users are required to submit the following reports:

(1)

Self-monitoring reports. Permittees may be required to submit periodic self-monitoring reports containing a description of the nature, concentration and flow of pollutants required to be reported by the city. Sampling for self-monitoring reports shall be performed during the period covered by the report. All required analyses shall be performed by a state-certified laboratory using analytical methods as defined in section 23-1. Significant industrial users shall be required to submit self-monitoring reports at least every six months.

(2)

Periodic measurements. Periodic measurements of flow, suspended solids and BOD for surcharge determination and other appropriate waste characteristics shall be made by those permittees specifically designated by the public works director.

(3)

Solvent management plans. All industrial users subject to effective categorical standards which include a total toxic organic limitation shall be required to file a solvent management plan.

(4)

Slug discharge control plans. All industrial users so required by the public works director shall file a slug discharge control plan. An accidental discharge/slug discharge control plan shall address, at a minimum, the following:

a.

Description of discharge practices, including nonroutine batch discharges;

b.

Description of stored chemicals;

c.

Procedures for immediately notifying the public works director and the applicable control authority's director of any slug discharge as required by section 23-199;

d.

Procedures to prevent adverse impact from slug discharge. Such procedures may include, but are not limited to, inspection and maintenance of storage areas, handling and transfer of materials, loading and unloading operations, control of plant site runoff, worker training, building of containment structures or equipment, measures for containing toxic organic pollutants, including solvents, and measures and equipment for emergency response; and

e.

If necessary, follow up practices to limit the damage suffered by the treatment plant or the environment.

(5)

Notification of hazardous waste discharge.

a.

All industrial users shall notify the public works director, the applicable control authority's director, the EPA regional waste management division director, and state hazardous waste authorities in writing of any discharge into the POTW of a substance which, if otherwise disposed of, would be classified as a hazardous waste pursuant to 40 CFR 261. Such notification must include the name of the hazardous waste as set forth in 40 CFR 261, the EPA hazardous waste number, and the type of discharge (continuous, batch or other). If the industrial user discharges more than 100 kilograms of such waste per calendar month to the POTW, the notification shall also contain the following information to the extent such information is known and readily available to the user: an identification of the hazardous constituents contained in the wastes, an estimation of the mass and concentration of such constituents in the waste stream discharged during that calendar month, and an estimation of the mass of constituents in the waste stream expected to be discharged during the following 12 months. All notifications must take place no later than 180 days after the discharge of the hazardous waste.

b.

Any notification under subsection (5) needs to be submitted only once for each hazardous waste discharged. However, notifications of changed conditions must be submitted under section 23-198.

c.

The hazardous waste discharge notification requirements specified in subsection (5) do not apply to pollutants already reported under the self-monitoring requirements of sections 23-194, 23-196, and 23-197. Industrial users are also exempt from such requirements during a calendar month in which they discharge no more than 15 kilograms of hazardous wastes, unless the wastes are acute hazardous wastes as specified in 40 CFR 261.30(d) and 261.33(e).

d.

Discharges of more than 15 kilograms of nonacute hazardous wastes, as specified in 40 CFR 261.30(d) and 261.33(e), require a one-time notification. Additional notification is not required for subsequent months during which the industrial user discharges additional quantities of the same nonacute hazardous waste.

e.

In the case of new federal regulations under Section 3001 of RCRA identifying additional characteristics of hazardous waste or listing any additional substance as a hazardous waste, the industrial user shall provide written notice to the public works director, the applicable control authority's director, the EPA regional waste management division director, and state hazardous waste authorities of the discharge of such substance within 90 days of the effective date of such regulations.

f.

In the case of any notification made under these requirements, the industrial user shall certify that it has a program in place to reduce the volume or toxicity of hazardous wastes generated to the degree it has determined to be economically practical.

g.

This provision does not create a right to discharge any substance not otherwise permitted to be discharged by this chapter, a permit issued thereunder, or any applicable federal or state law.

(6)

Other reports. Industrial users shall file any other reports required by state law, including such reports as are required by Health and Safety Code §§ 25500 through 25547.2.

(Ord. No. 1984, § 2(Exh. A), 3-10-26)

All users not required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit shall provide appropriate reports as required by the public works director.

(Ord. No. 1984, § 2(Exh. A), 3-10-26)

If sampling performed by a user indicates a violation, the user must notify the public works director within 24 hours of becoming aware of the violation. The user shall also repeat the sampling and analysis and submit the results of the repeat analysis to the public works director within 30 days after becoming aware of the violation. Resampling by the user is not required if the public works director performs sampling at the user's facility at least once a month, or the public works director performs sampling at the user's facility between the time when the initial sampling was conducted and the time when the user or public works director receives the results of this sampling, or if the public works director has performed the sampling and analysis in lieu of the user.

(Ord. No. 1984, § 2(Exh. A), 3-10-26)

All required analyses to be submitted as part of a wastewater discharge permit application or report shall be performed by a state certified laboratory using analytical methods as defined in section 23-1.

(Ord. No. 1984, § 2(Exh. A), 3-10-26)

Samples collected to satisfy reporting requirements must be based on data obtained through appropriate sampling and analysis performed during the period covered by the report, based on data that is representative of conditions occurring during the reporting period.

(1)

Except as indicated in subsection (2) and (3) below, the user must collect wastewater samples using 24-hour flow-proportional composite sampling techniques, unless time proportional composite sampling or grab sampling is authorized by the public works director. Where time-proportional composite sampling or grab sampling is authorized by the city, the samples must be representative of the discharge. Using protocols (including appropriate preservation) specified in 40 CFR Part 136 and appropriate EPA guidance, multiple grab samples collected during a 24-hour period may be composited prior to the analysis as follows: for cyanide, total phenols, and sulfides the samples may be composited in the laboratory or in the field; for volatile organics and oil and grease, the samples may be composited in the laboratory. Composite samples for other parameters unaffected by the compositing procedures as documented in approved EPA methodologies may be authorized by the city, as appropriate. In addition, grab samples may be required to show compliance with instantaneous limits.

(2)

Samples for oil and grease, temperature, pH, cyanide, total phenols, sulfides, and volatile organic compounds must be obtained using grab collection techniques.

(3)

For sampling required in support of baseline monitoring and 90-day compliance reports required in sections 23-194 and 23-196 (40 CFR 403.12(b) and (d)), a minimum of four grab samples must be used for pH, cyanide, total phenols, oil and grease, sulfide and volatile organic compounds for facilities for which historical sampling data do not exist; for facilities for which historical sampling data are available, the public works director may authorize a lower minimum. For the reports required by section 23-197 (40 CFR 403.12(e) and 403.12(h)), the industrial user is required to collect the number of grab samples necessary to assess and assure compliance by with applicable pretreatment standards and requirements.

(Ord. No. 1984, § 2(Exh. A), 3-10-26)

Written reports will be deemed to have been submitted on the postmarked date. For reports, which are not mailed, postage paid, into a mail facility serviced by the United States Postal Service, the date of receipt of the report shall govern.

(Ord. No. 1984, § 2(Exh. A), 3-10-26)

The following certification statement is required to be signed and submitted by users submitting permit applications under section 23-218; users submitting baseline monitoring reports under section 23-194; users submitting compliance schedule progress reports under section 23-195; users submitting reports on compliance with the categorical standard deadlines under section 23-196; users submitting periodic compliance reports required by section 23-197; and user submitting other reports and plans under section 23-200. The following certification statement must be signed by an authorized representative as defined in section 23-1 and include the printed name of the authorized representative, signature date, and contact 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, including the possibility of fine and imprisonment for knowing violations.

(Ord. No. 1984, § 2(Exh. A), 3-10-26)

(a)

All wastewater discharge permit applications, user reports and certifications must be signed by an authorized representative of the user, contain the certification statement in section 23-206, identify the name and contact information of the authorized representative.

(b)

If the designation of an authorized representative is no longer accurate because a different individual or position has responsibility for the overall operation of the facility or overall responsibility for environmental matters for the company, a new written authorization to satisfy the requirements of this section must be submitted to the public works director prior to or together with any reports to be signed by an authorized representative.
