§ 24.123. State pretreatment standards.

(1)

Chapter 62-625.410 FAC identifies pretreatment standards (by reference) for industries, and is applicable in the determination of categorical industrial discharges within the city's jurisdiction.

(2)

The industrial pretreatment program shall develop and implement procedures to ensure compliance, and at a minimum enable the program to:

(3)

Identify and locate all possible industrial users which might be subject to the pretreatment program;

(a)

Identify the character and volume of pollutants contributed to the WWF by the industrial users identified under subsection (1) above;

(b)

Notify industrial users identified under subsection (1) above of applicable pretreatment standards and any applicable requirements under F.S. Ch. 403, Parts I and IV, regarding disposal of sludge. Within thirty (30) days of approval of a list of significant industrial users, in accordance with subsection 24.141(d) and notify each significant industrial user of its status as such and of all requirements applicable to it as a result of such status;

(c)

Receive and analyze self-monitoring reports and other notices submitted by industrial users in accordance with the self-monitoring requirements in Rule 62-625.600 FAC; and

(d)

Randomly sample and analyze the effluent from industrial users and conduct surveillance activities in order to identify, independent of information supplied by industrial users, occasional and continuing non-compliance with pretreatment standards. Inspect and sample the effluent from each significant industrial user at least once a year, except as specified in subparagraphs 1. through 3. below.

1.

Where the control authority has authorized a categorical industrial user to waive sampling of a pollutant regulated by a categorical pretreatment standard in accordance with paragraph 62-625.600(4)(b), FAC, the control authority must sample for the waived pollutant(s) at least once during the term of the categorical industrial user's control mechanism. In the event that the control authority subsequently determines that a waived pollutant is present or is expected to be present in the industrial user's wastewater based on changes that occur in the user's operations, the control authority must immediately begin at least annual inspection and effluent monitoring of the user's discharge;

2.

Where the control authority has determined that an industrial user meets the criteria for classification as a non-significant categorical industrial user, the control authority must evaluate, at least once per year, whether an industrial user continues to meet the criteria in paragraph 62-625.200(25)(c), FAC; or

3.

In the case of industrial users subject to reduced reporting requirements under paragraph 62-625.600(4)(d), FAC, the control authority must randomly sample and analyze the effluent from industrial users and conduct inspections at least once every two (3) years. If the industrial user no longer meets the conditions for reduced reporting in paragraph 62-625.600(4)(d), FAC, the control authority must immediately begin sampling and inspecting the industrial user at least once a year;

(e)

Evaluate significant industrial users plan to control slug discharges as set forth in section 24-133.

(f)

Investigate instances of non-compliance with pretreatment standards and requirements, as indicated in the reports and notices required under Rule 62-625.600, FAC, or indicated by analysis, inspection, and surveillance activities described in subparagraph (d) above.
