§ 5-6.601. Monitoring for Compliance with Permit Conditions or Reporting Requirements.

(a)

The City may require reports for self-monitoring of wastewater constituents and characteristics of the discharger needed for determining compliance with any limitation, or requirement as specified in the user's permit, federal regulations, or this chapter. These reports include:

(1)

Baseline Monitoring Reports (BMR);

(2)

Compliance Schedule Progress Reports;

(3)

Ninety (90) Day Compliance Reports;

(4)

Periodic Reports on continued compliance;

(5)

Other reports as required by the City.

Monitoring reports of the analyses of wastewater constituents and characteristics shall be in a manner and form approved by the City and shall be submitted upon request of the Director. When applicable, the self-monitoring requirement and frequency of reporting shall be set forth in the user's permit. The analyses of wastewater constituents and characteristics and the preparation of the monitoring report shall be done at the sole expense of the user. Failure by the user to perform any required monitoring and/or submit monitoring reports required by the City shall be a violation of this chapter, may result in a determination that the permittee is in significant non-compliance, and be cause for the City to initiate all necessary tasks and analyses to determine the wastewater constituents and characteristics for any limitation and requirement specified in the user's permit or in this chapter. The user shall be responsible for any and all expenses of the City in undertaking such monitoring analyses and preparation of reports.

(b)

Each industrial user is required to notify the City, in writing, at least ninety (90) days before, any planned changes to the industrial user's operations or systems which may result in the nature, quality or volume of its wastewater to exceed that industrial user's classification parameters or permit limits.
