13.06.260 Wastewater Discharge Permit Application Contents.
All users required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit must submit, as required by the County, the following information, along with information required in a permit application form provided by the County. Categorical users submitting the following information shall have complied with federal pretreatment regulation 40 CFR 403.12(b). New Sources and New Users which have not begun discharging shall make estimates of the data required in subsections E and F of this Section, and shall submit a "90 day compliance report" within 90 days after startup containing the sampling information required by subsections E. and F. Newly identified users, and users subject to newly promulgated categorical standards, shall submit actual data from sampling to fulfill the requirements of these Sections.
A. Identifying Information. The user shall submit the name and address of the facility including the name of the operator and owners.
B. Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code. The user shall submit the Standard Industrial Classification number(s) according to the Standard Industrial Classification manual, Bureau of the Budget, 1972, as amended, which apply to the facility.
C. Permits. The user shall submit a list of any environmental control permits held by or for the facility.
D. Description of Operations. The user shall submit a brief description of the nature, average rate of production, and SIC codes of the operation(s) carried out by such user, including a list of all raw materials and chemicals used or stored at the facility which are, or could accidentally or intentionally be, discharged to the POTW; number of employees; hours of operation; each product produced by type, amount, process or processes, and rate of production; type and amount of raw materials processed (average and maximum per day); and the time and duration of discharges. This description should also include a schematic process diagram which indicates points of discharge to the POTW from the regulated or manufacturing processes. The user shall submit site plans, floor plans, mechanical and plumbing plans and details to show all sewers, sewer connections, inspection manholes, sampling chambers, and appurtenances by size, location, and elevation.
E. Flow Measurement. (Estimate if not discharging yet.)
1. Categorical User. The user shall submit information showing the measured average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the POTW from each of the following:
a. Regulated or manufacturing process streams;
b. Other streams as necessary to allow use of the combined waste stream formula of 40 CFR 403.6(e); and
c. Total discharge flow to the POTW.
2. Non-Categorical User. The user shall submit information showing the measured average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per day, to the POTW from the total process flow, wastewater pretreatment facility flow, and total plant flow or individual manufacturing process flow, as required by the County. The County may allow for verifiable estimates of these flows where justified by cost or feasibility considerations.
F. Measurements of Pollutants. (Estimate if not discharging yet.)
1. Categorical User.
a. The user shall identify the applicable pretreatment standards for each regulated or manufacturing process.
b. In addition, the user shall submit the results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration (or mass), where required by the Categorical Pretreatment Standard or as required by the County, of regulated pollutants (including standards contained in PCC 13.06.080 and in the Table, as appropriate) in the discharge from each regulated or manufacturing process. Both daily maximum and average concentration (or mass, where required) shall be reported. Samples shall be representative of daily operations and shall conform to sampling and analytical procedures outlined in PCC 13.06.490 and 13.06.500.
c. Where an alternate concentration or mass limit has been calculated in accordance with 40 CFR 403.6(e) for a categorical user covered by a categorical pretreatment standard, this adjusted limit, along with supporting data, shall be submitted as part of the application.
2. Non-Categorical User.
a. The user shall identify the applicable pretreatment standards for its wastewater discharge.
b. In addition, the user shall submit the results of sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration (or mass where required by the County) of regulated pollutants contained in PCC 13.06.050 through 13.06.080, as appropriate in the discharge. Both daily maximum and average concentration (or mass, where required) shall be reported. Samples shall be representative of daily operations and shall conform to sampling and analytical procedures outlined in PCC 13.06.490 and 13.06.500.
c. Where the County has developed alternate concentration or mass limits because of dilution, this adjusted limit, along with supporting data, shall be submitted as part of the application.
G. Certification. A statement, as outlined in PCC 13.06.270, reviewed by an authorized representative of the user and certified by a professional engineer or other individual recognized by the Manager as a qualified professional, indicating whether the applicable Pretreatment Standards are being (or will be, if not discharging yet) met on a consistent basis and, if not, whether additional O&M and/or additional pretreatment is required for the user to meet the applicable Pretreatment Standards and Requirements;
H. Compliance Schedule. If additional pretreatment and/or O&M will be required to meet the applicable Pretreatment Standards; the shortest schedule by which the user will provide such additional pretreatment and/or O&M. The user's schedule shall conform with the requirements of PCC 13.06.400. The completion date in this schedule shall not be later than the compliance date established pursuant to PCC 13.06.400.
I. Other Information. Any other information as may be deemed necessary by the Manager to evaluate the wastewater discharge permit application.
When the user's categorical Pretreatment Standard has been modified by the combined waste stream formula (40 CFR 403.6(e)), and/or a Fundamentally Different Factors variance (40 CFR 403.13) at the time the user submits the report required by this Section, the information required by subsections G and H of this Section shall pertain to the modified limits. If the categorical Pretreatment Standard is modified by the combined waste stream formula (40 CFR 403.6(e)), and/or a Fundamentally Different Factors variance (40 CFR 403.13) after the user submits the report required by subsections G and H of this Section, a new permit application containing the revised sections shall be submitted by the user within 60 days after the modified limit is approved.
Incomplete or inaccurate applications will not be processed and will be returned to the user for revision.
