STANDARD PROVISIONS AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS 11 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System The Discharger shall enforce the requirements promulgated under Sections 307(b) (c), and(d)and Section 402(b) of the CWA.The Discharger shall cause industrial users subject to Federal Categorical Standards to achieve compliance no later than the date specified in those requirements or,in the case of a new industrial user,upon commencement of the discharge. 1. The Discharger shall perform the pretreatment functions as required in 40 CFR Part 403 including,but not limited to: a. Implement the necessary legal authorities as provided in 40 CFR 403.8(f)(1). b. Enforce the pretreatment requirements under 40 CFR 403.5 and 403.6. c. Implement the programmatic functions as provided in 40 CFR 403.8(f)(2),in particular,the publishing of a list of significant violators. d. Provide the requisite funding and personnel to implement the pretreatment program as provided in 40 CFR 403.8(f)(3). G ANNUAL PRETREATMENT REPORT REQUIREMENTS(Applies to dischargers required to establish pretreatment programs by this Order.) The Discharger shall submit annually a report to the Board,with copies to US U.S.EPA Region 9 and the State Board,describing the Discharger's pretreatment activities over the previous 12 months.In the event that the Discharger is not in compliance with any conditions or requirements of this Order,including noncompliance with pretreatment audit/compliance inspection requirements,then the Discharger shall also include the reasons for noncompliance and state how and when the Discharger shall comply with such conditions and requirements. An annual report shall be submitted by 28 February or as otherwise specified in the Order and include at least the following items: 1. A summary of analytical results from representative,flow proportioned,24-hour composite sampling of the POTW's influent and effluent for those pollutants U.S.EPA has identified under Section 307(a) of the CWA which are known or suspected to be discharged by industrial users. The Discharger is not required to sample and analyze for asbestos until U.S.EPA promulgates an applicable analytical technique under 40 CFR 136. Sludge shall be sampled during the same 24-hour period and analyzed for the same pollutants as the influent and effluent sampling and analysis.The sludge analyzed shall be a composite sample of a mininn,m of 12 discrete samples taken at equal time intervals over the 24-hour period.Wastewater and sludge sampling and analysis shall be performed at least annually.The discharger shall also provide any influent, effluent or sludge monitoring data for nonpriority pollutants which may be causing or contributing to Interference,Pass-Through or adversely impacting sludge quality. Sampling and analysis shall be performed in accordance with the techniques prescribed in 40 CFR 136 and amendments thereto. 2. A discussion of Upset,Interference, or Pass-Through incidents,if any, at the treatment plant which the Discharger knows or suspects were caused by industrial users of the POTW.The discussion shall include the reasons why the incidents occurred,the corrective actions taken and,if known,the name and address of the industrial user(s)responsible.The discussion shall also include a review of the applicable pollutant limitations to determine whether any additional limitations, or changes to existing requirements,may be necessary to prevent Pass-Through,Interference,or noncompliance with sludge disposal requirements.
