unit, including function, relationship to other facility units, and schematic
diagrams.
(ii) Details of each unit
operations and various controls, recommended settings, fail-safe features, and
other elements that ensure proper operation of equipment.
(iii) Operation instructions for anticipated
maintenance procedures, routine operations, less than design loading
conditions, overload conditions, and if applicable, initial loading on a system
designed for substantial growth.
(iv) Information on any maintenance
procedures that contribute to the generation of wastewater or residual solids
and the proper handling of the wastewater and solids generated.
(v) A maintenance log and schedule that
incorporates manufacturer's recommendations, preventative maintenance, and
housekeeping schedules, and special tools and equipment used to ensure that all
unit processes and equipment are in reliable operating condition at all
times.

procedures, including sampling techniques, monitoring requirements, sample
analysis, and recordkeeping procedures, including sample and chain of custody
forms.
(j) Safety
procedures.
(k) Spare parts
inventory, address of local suppliers, equipment warranties, and appropriate
equipment catalogues.
(1) Emergency plans and
procedures including, but not limited to:
