§ 28-220. Baseline monitoring reports.

(a)

Within either one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of a categorical pretreatment standard, or the final administrative decision on a category determination under 40 CFR 403.6(a)(4), whichever is later, existing categorical users currently discharging to, or scheduled to discharge to, the WWF shall submit to the director a report which contains the information listed in subsection (b) of this section. At least ninety (90) days prior to commencement of their discharge, new sources, and sources that become categorical users subsequent to the promulgation of an applicable categorical standard, shall submit to the director a report which contains the information listed in subsection (b) of this section. 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 their discharge.

(b)

Users described above shall submit the information set forth below.

(1)

Identifying information. The name and address of the facility, including the name of the operator and owner.

(2)

Permits. A list of any pollution control permits held by or for the facility.

(3)

Description of operations. A brief description of the nature, average rate of production, and standard industrial classifications of the operations carried out by such user. This description shall include a schematic process diagram which indicates points of discharge to the WWF from the regulated process.

(4)

Flow measurement. Information showing the measured average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the WWF from regulated process streams and other streams, as necessary, to allow use of the combined wastestream formula set out in 62-625.410 F.A.C.

(5)

Measurement of pollutants.

a.

The user shall identify the categorical pretreatment standards applicable to each regulated process.

b.

The results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration, mass, or both, where required by the standard or by the director, of regulated pollutants in the discharge from each regulated process.

c.

Both daily maximum and average concentration shall be reported. The sample shall be representative of daily operations.

d.

In cases where the pretreatment standard requires compliance with a BMP or pollution prevention alternative, the user shall submit documentation as required by the director or the applicable standards to determine compliance with the standard.

e.

The user shall take a minimum of one (1) representative sample to demonstrate data is in compliance with these requirements.

f.

Samples shall 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 shall measure the flows and concentrations necessary to allow use of the combined waste stream formula of subsection 62-624.410(6), F.A.C., in order to evaluate compliance with the pretreatment standards.

g.

Sampling must be performed in accordance with procedures set out in this article.

h.

The user may submit a baseline report which utilizes only historical data so long as the data provides information sufficient to determine the need for industrial pretreatment measures.

i.

The BMR shall indicate the time, date and place of sampling, methods of analysis, and test results for each component and shall certify that such sampling and analysis is representative of normal work cycles and expected pollutant discharges to the WWF.

(6)

Certification. A statement, reviewed by an authorized representative of the user indicating whether pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent basis, and if not, whether additional O&M or additional pretreatment is required for the user to meet the pretreatment standards and requirements.

(7)

Compliance schedule. If additional pretreatment or operations and maintenance (O&M) will be required to meet the pretreatment standards, the user shall provide such additional pretreatment or O&M as specified in a compliance schedule. 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 28-221 of this article.

(8)

Signature and report certification. All BMRs must be certified in accordance with section 28-232 of this article and signed by an authorized representative of the user as defined in section 28-26.
