Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
Within the time limits specified in subsection (h), existing
industrial users subject to such categorical pretreatment standards and
currently discharging to or scheduled to discharge to a POTW must submit to the
Control Authority a report that contains the information listed in subsections
(a) through (g). New sources, and sources that become industrial users after an
applicable categorical standard is promulgated, must submit to the Control
Authority a report that contains the information listed in subsections (a)
through (e). If reports containing this information already have been submitted
to the USEPA in compliance with
40 CFR
128.140(b) (1977), the
industrial user must not be required to submit this information again. New
sources must also include in the report information on the method of
pretreatment the source intended to use to meet applicable pretreatment
standards. New sources must give estimates of the information requested in
subsections (d) and (e).
a)
Identifying Information. The industrial user must submit the name and address
of the facility including the name of the operator and owners.
b) Permits. The industrial user must submit a
list of any environmental control permits held by or for the
facility.
c) Description of
Operations. The industrial user must submit a brief description of the nature,
average rate of production, and standard industrial classification (SIC Code)
of the operations carried out by such industrial user, as determined using the
Standard Industrial Classification Manual, incorporated by reference in Section
310.107(a).
This description should include a schematic process diagram that indicates
points of discharge to the POTW from the regulated processes.
d) Flow Measurement. The industrial user must
submit information that shows the measured average daily and maximum daily
flow, in gallons per day, to the POTW 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 Section
310.233. (See subsection
(e)(4).)
e) Measurement
of Pollutants
1) The industrial user must
identify the pretreatment standards applicable to each regulated
process.
2) In addition, the
industrial user must submit the results of sampling and analysis identifying
the nature and concentration (or mass, if required by the standard or Control
Authority) of regulated pollutants in the discharge from each regulated
process. Both daily maximum and average concentration (or mass, if required)
must be reported. The sample must be representative of daily operations. If the
categorical standard requires compliance with a best management practice or
pollution prevention alternative, the industrial user must submit documentation
as required by the Control Authority or the applicable categorical standards to
determine compliance with the categorical standard.
3) The user must take a minimum of one
representative sample to compile the data necessary to comply with the
requirements of this subsection.
4)
Samples must 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 before pretreatment, the industrial user must measure the flows and
concentrations necessary to allow use of the combined waste stream formula of
Section 310.233 to evaluate compliance
with the pretreatment standards. If an alternate concentration or mass limit
has been calculated in accordance with Section 310.233, this adjusted limit
along with supporting data must be submitted to the Control
Authority.
5) Analytical Methods.
Sampling and analysis must be performed in accordance with the techniques
prescribed in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
307.1003. If 35 Ill. Adm. Code
307.1003 does not reference
sampling or analytical techniques for the pollutant in question or USEPA has
determined that sampling and analysis techniques are inappropriate pursuant to
40 CFR
403.12(b), incorporated by
reference in Section 310.107(c),
sampling and analysis must be performed by using validated analytical methods
or any other applicable sampling and analytical procedures approved by the
Agency, including procedures suggested by the POTW or other parties.
6) The Control Authority may allow the
submission of a baseline report that utilizes only historical data if the data
provides information sufficient to determine the need for industrial
pretreatment measures.
7) The
baseline report must indicate the time, date, and place of sampling, and
methods of analysis, and must certify that the sampling and analysis are
representative of normal work cycles and expected pollutant discharges to the
POTW.
f) Certification. A
statement, reviewed by an authorized representative of the industrial user (as
defined in Section 310.633) and certified to by a
qualified professional, indicating whether pretreatment standards are being met
consistently, and, if not, whether additional operation and maintenance (O and
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 and M will be required to meet the pretreatment standards;
the shortest schedule by which the industrial user will provide such additional
pretreatment or O and M. The completion date in this schedule must not be later
than the compliance date established for the applicable pretreatment standard.
1) If the industrial user's categorical
pretreatment standard has been modified by a removal allowance (Subpart C), by
the combined waste stream formula (Section 310.233) or a fundamentally
different factors determination (Subpart E) at the time the user submits the
report required by this Section, the information required by subsections (f)
and (g) must pertain to the modified limits.
2) If the categorical pretreatment standard
is modified by a removal allowance (Subpart C), by the combined waste stream
formula (Section 310.233) or a fundamentally different factors determination
(Subpart E) after the user submits the report required by this Section, any
necessary amendments to the information requested by subsections (f) and (g)
must be submitted by the user to the Control Authority within 60 days after the
modified limit is approved.
h) Deadlines for Baseline Reports
1) For standards adopted by USEPA prior to
authorization of the Illinois pretreatment program, baseline reports must be
submitted pursuant to 40 CFR
403.12(b).
2) For standards adopted by USEPA after
authorization of the Illinois pretreatment program:
A) Baseline reports for existing sources are
due within 180 days after the Board adopts or incorporates a categorical
pretreatment standard or 180 days after the final administrative decision made
upon a category determination submission under Section
310.221(d),
whichever is later.
B) New sources,
and sources that become industrial users after an applicable categorical
standard is promulgated, must submit the baseline report within 90 days before
beginning discharge.
C) New sources
already in existence and discharging on the date the Board adopts or
incorporates a categorical pretreatment standard or 180 days after the final
administrative decision made upon a category determination submission under
Section 310.221(d), as
described for existing sources under subsection (h)(1)(A), are considered
existing sources for the due date provisions of this subsection.
