PART II Page 17 of 28 Permit No. AR0001392 SECTION B. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POLLUTION CONTROLS

1. Proper Operation and Maintenance The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit.

j Proper operation and maintenance includes effective performance, adequate funding, adequate operator staffing and training, and adequate i

laboratory and process controls, including appropriace quality assurance procedures.

l This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or siellar systems only when necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit.

2. Duty to Halt or Reduce Activity Upon reduction, loss, or failure of the treatment facility, the permittee shall, to the extent necessary to maintain compliance with its permit, control production or all discharges or both until the facility is restored or an alternative method of treatment is provided. This requirement applies, for example, den the primary source of power of the treatment facility fails or is reduced or lost. It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement
  • action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the conditions of this permit.
3. Bypass of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions (1) " Bypass" means the intentional diversion of waste streams from any l portion of a treatment factitty. ,

(2) " Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities dich causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural

. resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production. ,

~

b. Bypass not exceeding limitations. The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause affluent limitations to be exceeded, but i

only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of paragraphs e and d of this section.

c. Notice l

- Page 18 of 28 Permit No. AR0001392 (2) Unaaticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in Section D, Paragraph D-6 (24-hour notice).

l d. Prohibition of bypass.

- -(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Director may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass, unless: 1 l

(a) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal i injury, or severe property damage; I (b) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes, or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if the permittee w could have installed adequate backup equipment to prevent a bypass which. occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and '

(c) The permittee submitted notices as required under paragraph c of this section.

(2) The Director may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects, if the Director determines that it will meet .

the three conditions listed above in paragraph d(1) of this section. -

~

a. Definition. " Upset" means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology-based permit effluent limitations because of factors tseyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
b. Effect of an upset. An upset colistitutes an affimative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology-based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c of this section are met. No detensination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset. A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, .

PART II Page 20 of 28 Permit No. AR0001392 SECTION C. MONITORING AND RECORDS

1. Representative Sampling Samples and measurements taken as required herein shall be representative of the volume and nature of the monitored discharge. All samples shall be taken at the monitoring points specified in this permit and, unless otherwise specified, before or the affluent. joins or is diluted by any other wastestream, body of water, substance.

and 'the approval Monitoring points shall not be changed without notification to of the Director.

2. Flow Measurements Appropriate flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted '

scientific practices shall be selected and used to insure the accuracy and reliability of measurements of the volume of monitored discharges. The devices shall be installed, calibrated and maintained to insure that th,e accuracy of the measurements are consistent with the accepted capability of that' type of device.

Devices selected shall be capable of measuring flows with a maximum deviation of less than +

discharge 105 from true discharge rates throughout the range of expected volumes.
