(2) Periodic compliance reports. A. Any categorical industrial user and any noncategorical significant industrial user is required to self -monitor and report regarding all discharges in accordance with the frequency of monitoring required in the individual wastewater discharge permit. Such report shall indicate the nature and concentration of prohibited or regulated substances in the effluent which are limited by the pretreatment standards hereof. In addition, this report shall include a record of all measured or estimated average and maximum daily flows during the reporting period. Flows shall be recorded on the basis of actual measurement, provided however, where cost or feasibility considerations justify, the City may accept reports of average and maximum flows estimated by verifiable techniques. In the event the sampling data indicates a violation, the discharger shall notify the City within twenty-four hours of the discharger becoming aware of the violation. The discharger shall repeat the sampling and analysis and submit the results to the City within thirty days of initially becoming aware of the violation. B. Report of dischargers for the reporting period shall be based on data compiled in such reporting period. Reports of dischargers shall contain all results of sampling and analysis of the discharge, including the flow and the nature and concentration, or production and mass where required by the City. The frequency of monitoring by the discharger shall be as prescribed in the applicable national categorical pretreatment standards or at intervals determined to be necessary by the City. If pollutant concentration in the discharge is of such varying nature, or if the likelihood of a "slug" of a pollutant is so great that a "grab" sample of the wastewater cannot be relied upon to furnish a representative analysis of the industry's discharge, then the City may require the installation of special sampling devices. These may include a continuous sampling pump coupled to a flow meter in such a way that the size of the sample is proportional to the total flow. The discharger shall be responsible for the collection and testing of the aforementioned samples. All tests shall be done by independent laboratories, with a copy of the results forwarded directly to the Mayor, City of North Olmsted, Ohio, 44070. Samples shall be collected in such a manner as to be representative of the composition of the wastes. Every care shall be exercised in the collection of samples to ensure their preservation in a state comparable to that at the time the sample was taken. Anal - Laboratory procedures used in the examination of industrial waste shall be those set forth in and in accordance with 40 CFR 136 entitled: "Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for Analysis of Pollutants", or in accordance with any other technique required by the U.S. E.P.A.
