Section 310.602 Baseline Report

Section 310

Section 310.602  Baseline

Report

Within the time limits specified

in subsection (h), existing industrial users subject to such categorical

pretreatment standards and currently discharging to or scheduled to discharge

to a POTW must submit to the Control Authority a report that contains the

information listed in subsections (a) through (g).  New sources, and sources

that become industrial users after an applicable categorical standard is

promulgated, must submit to the Control Authority a report that contains the

information listed in subsections (a) through (e).  If reports containing this

information already have been submitted to the USEPA in compliance with 40 CFR

128.140(b) (1977), the industrial user must not be required to submit this

information again.  New sources must also include in the report information on

the method of pretreatment the source intended to use to meet applicable

pretreatment standards.  New sources must give estimates of the information

requested in subsections (d) and (e).

a)         Identifying Information.  The industrial user must submit the

name and address of the facility including the name of the operator and owners.

b)         Permits.  The industrial user must submit a list of any

environmental control permits held by or for the facility.

c)         Description of Operations.  The industrial user must submit a

brief description of the nature, average rate of production, and standard

industrial classification (SIC Code) of the operations carried out by such

industrial user, as determined using the Standard Industrial Classification

Manual, incorporated by reference in Section 310.107(a).  This description

should include a schematic process diagram that indicates points of discharge

to the POTW from the regulated processes.

d)         Flow Measurement

duction, and standard

industrial classification (SIC Code) of the operations carried out by such

industrial user, as determined using the Standard Industrial Classification

Manual, incorporated by reference in Section 310.107(a).  This description

should include a schematic process diagram that indicates points of discharge

to the POTW from the regulated processes.

d)         Flow Measurement.  The industrial user must submit information

that shows the measured average daily and maximum daily flow, in gallons per

day, to the POTW from each of the following:

1)         Regulated process streams; and

2)         Other streams as necessary to allow use of the combined waste

stream formula of Section 310.233.  (See subsection (e)(4).)

e)         Measurement of Pollutants

1)         The industrial user must identify the pretreatment standards

applicable to each regulated process.

2)         In addition, the industrial user must submit the results of

sampling and analysis identifying the nature and concentration (or mass, if

required by the standard or Control Authority) of regulated pollutants in the

discharge from each regulated process.  Both daily maximum and average

concentration (or mass, if required) must be reported.  The sample must be

representative of daily operations. If the categorical standard requires

compliance with a best management practice or pollution prevention alternative,

the industrial user must submit documentation as required by the Control

Authority or the applicable categorical standards to determine compliance with

the categorical standard.

3)         The user must take a minimum of one representative sample to

compile the data necessary to comply with the requirements of this subsection.

4)         Samples must be taken immediately downstream from pretreatment

facilities if such exist or immediately downstream from the regulated process

if no pretreatment exists

al standards to determine compliance with

the categorical standard.

3)         The user must take a minimum of one representative sample to

compile the data necessary to comply with the requirements of this subsection.

4)         Samples must 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 before pretreatment, the industrial user must measure the flows and

concentrations necessary to allow use of the combined waste stream formula of

Section 310.233 to evaluate compliance with the pretreatment standards.  If an

alternate concentration or mass limit has been calculated in accordance with

Section 310.233, this adjusted limit along with supporting data must be

submitted to the Control Authority.

5)         Analytical Methods. Sampling and analysis must be performed in

accordance with the techniques prescribed in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 307.1003.  If 35

Ill. Adm. Code 307.1003 does not reference sampling or analytical techniques

for the pollutant in question or USEPA has determined that sampling and

analysis techniques are inappropriate pursuant to 40 CFR 403.12(b),

incorporated by reference in Section 310.107(c), sampling and analysis must be

performed by using validated analytical methods or any other applicable

sampling and analytical procedures approved by the Agency, including procedures

suggested by the POTW or other parties.

6)         The Control Authority may allow the submission of a baseline

report that utilizes only historical data if the data provides information

sufficient to determine the need for industrial pretreatment measures.

7)         The baseline report must indicate the time, date, and place of

sampling, and methods of analysis, and must certify that the sampling and

analysis are representative of normal work cycles and expected pollutant

discharges to the POTW.

f)         Certification

s only historical data if the data provides information

sufficient to determine the need for industrial pretreatment measures.

7)         The baseline report must indicate the time, date, and place of

sampling, and methods of analysis, and must certify that the sampling and

analysis are representative of normal work cycles and expected pollutant

discharges to the POTW.

f)         Certification.  A statement, reviewed by an authorized

representative of the industrial user (as defined in Section 310.633) and

certified to by a qualified professional, indicating whether pretreatment

standards are being met consistently, and, if not, whether additional operation

and maintenance (O and M) or additional pretreatment is required for the

industrial user to meet the pretreatment standards and requirements.

g)         Compliance Schedule.  If additional pretreatment or O and M

will be required to meet the pretreatment standards; the shortest schedule by

which the industrial user will provide such additional pretreatment or O and M.

The completion date in this schedule must not be later than the compliance date

established for the applicable pretreatment standard.

1)         If the industrial user's categorical pretreatment standard has

been modified by a removal allowance (Subpart C), by the combined waste stream

formula (Section 310.233) or a fundamentally different factors determination

(Subpart E) at the time the user submits the report required by this Section,

the information required by subsections (f) and (g) must pertain to the

modified limits

1)         If the industrial user's categorical pretreatment standard has

been modified by a removal allowance (Subpart C), by the combined waste stream

formula (Section 310.233) or a fundamentally different factors determination

(Subpart E) at the time the user submits the report required by this Section,

the information required by subsections (f) and (g) must pertain to the

modified limits.

2)         If the categorical pretreatment standard is modified by a

removal allowance (Subpart C), by the combined waste stream formula (Section

310.233) or a fundamentally different factors determination (Subpart E) after

the user submits the report required by this Section, any necessary amendments

to the information requested by subsections (f) and (g) must be submitted by

the user to the Control Authority within 60 days after the modified limit is

approved.

h)         Deadlines for Baseline Reports

1)         For standards adopted by USEPA prior to authorization of the

Illinois pretreatment program, baseline reports must be submitted pursuant to

40 CFR 403.12(b).

2)         For standards adopted by USEPA after authorization of the

Illinois pretreatment program:

A)        Baseline reports for existing sources are due within 180 days

after the Board adopts or incorporates a categorical pretreatment standard or

180 days after the final administrative decision made upon a category

determination submission under Section 310.221(d), whichever is later.

B)        New sources, and sources that become industrial users after an

applicable categorical standard is promulgated, must submit the baseline report

within 90 days before beginning discharge

dopts or incorporates a categorical pretreatment standard or

180 days after the final administrative decision made upon a category

determination submission under Section 310.221(d), whichever is later.

B)        New sources, and sources that become industrial users after an

applicable categorical standard is promulgated, must submit the baseline report

within 90 days before beginning discharge.

C)        New sources already in existence and discharging on the date

the Board adopts or incorporates a categorical pretreatment standard or 180

days after the final administrative decision made upon a category determination

submission under Section 310.221(d), as described for existing sources under

subsection (h)(1)(A), are considered existing sources for the due date

provisions of this subsection.
