  • SECTION I – COMPLIANCE AND CERTIFICATION

  • COMPLIANCE AND CERTIFICATION TO BE COMPLETED BY ALL USERS
    SUBJECT TO NATIONAL CATEGORICAL PRETREATMENT STANDARDS

    If additional pretreatment and/or Operation and Maintenance (O&M) will be required to meet the applicable pretreatment standards or alternative pretreatment standards as calculated by the combined wastestream formula, provide a compliance schedule which gives the shortest schedule which will provide such additional pretreatment or O&M. The completion date in this schedule shall not be later than the compliance date established for the applicable national categorical pretreatment standards.


    The schedule shall contain increments of progress in the form of dates for the commencement and completion of major events leading to the construction and operation of additional pretreatment required for the Industrial User to meet the applicable categorical pretreatment standards (e.g. hiring an engineer, completing preliminary plans, completing final plans, executing contract for major components, commencing construction, completing construction, etc.).


    No increment of progress shall exceed nine months.


    Not later than 14 days following each date in the schedule and the final date for compliance, the Industrial User shall submit a progress report to Greer Commission of Public Works including, at a minimum, whether or not it complied with the increment of progress, if not, the reason for delay, and the steps being taken by the Industrial User to return the construction to the schedule established. In no event shall more than nine months elapse between such progress reports to Greer Commission of Public Works.


    If a compliance schedule is needed, it is to be typed or printed on a separate sheet(s) and attached.


    CERTIFICATION [40 CFR 403.12(d) and SC R61-9 403.12(d)]


    Report on compliance with categorical pretreatment standard deadline. Within 90 days following the date for final compliance with applicable categorical pretreatment standards or in the case of a New Source following commencement of the introduction of wastewater into the Greer Commission of Public Works treatment works, any Industrial User subject to Pretreatment Standards and Requirements shall submit to Greer Commission of Public Works a report containing the information described in paragraphs (b) (4)–(6) of this section. For Industrial Users subject to equivalent mass or concentration limits established by Greer Commission of Public Works in accordance with the procedures in §403.6(c), this report shall contain a reasonable measure of the User's long term production rate. For all other Industrial Users subject to categorical pretreatment standards expressed in terms of allowable pollutant discharge per unit of production (or other measure of operation), this report shall include the User's actual production during the appropriate sampling period. For new source discharges, this certification shall be submitted within ninety (90) days of the initial discharge. For existing source discharges, this certification shall be submitted within ninety (90) days following the date for final compliance with applicable Categorical Pretreatment Standards.


    CERTIFICATION [40 CFR 403.12 (b)(6) and SC R61-9 403.12(b)(6)]


    I certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the information submitted.
