25 Pa. Code § 94.12 - Annual report
(a) To provide
for annual review of sewerage facilities and ensure that there is sufficient
time to address existing operational or maintenance problems or to plan and
construct needed additions, plant permittees shall submit a complete and
accurate wasteload management annual report, in duplicate, by March 31 of each
year to the appropriate regional office of the Department. The report shall be
signed by the preparer and by the permittee of the plant and include the
following:
(1) A line graph depicting the
monthly average flows (expressed in millions of gallons per day) for each month
for the past 5 years and projecting the flows for the next 5 years. The graph
shall also include a line depicting the hydraulic design flow (also expressed
in millions of gallons per day) of the plant included in the water quality
management permit (Part II permit issued under Chapter 91 (relating to general
provisions)).
(2) A line graph
depicting the monthly average organic loading (expressed as pounds per day of
BOD5) for each month for the past 5 years and projecting
the monthly average organic loading for the next 5 years. The graph shall also
include a line depicting the organic loading design (also expressed in pounds
per day of BOD5) of the plant included in the water
quality management permit (Part II permit issued under Chapter 91).
(3) A brief discussion of the basis for the
projections referred to in paragraphs (1) and (2), as well as a description of
the time needed to expand the plant to meet the load projections, if necessary.
Data used to support those projections should be included in an appendix to the
annual report.
(4) A map showing
all sewer extensions constructed within the past calendar year, sewer
extensions approved or exempted in the past year in accordance with the
Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§
750.1-750.20) and Chapter 71 (relating to
administration of the sewage facilities program), but not yet constructed, and
all known proposed projects which require public sewers but are in the
preliminary planning stages. The map shall be accompanied by a list summarizing
each extension or project and the population to be served by the extension or
project. If a sewer extension approval or proposed project includes schedules
describing how the project will be completed over time, the listing should
include that information and the effect this build-out-rate will have on
populations served.
(5) A
discussion of the permittee's program for sewer system monitoring, maintenance,
repair and rehabilitation, including routine and special activities, personnel
and equipment used, sampling frequency, quality assurance, data analyses,
infiltration/inflow monitoring, and, where applicable, maintenance and control
of combined sewer regulators during the past year.
(6) A discussion of the condition of the
sewer system including portions of the system where conveyance capacity is
being exceeded or will be exceeded in the next 5 years and portions where
rehabilitation or cleaning is needed or is underway to maintain the integrity
of the system and prevent or eliminate bypassing, combined sewer overflow,
sanitary sewer overflow, excessive infiltration and other system
problems.
(7) A discussion of the
condition of sewage pumping stations, including a comparison of the maximum
pumping rate with present maximum flows and the projected 2-year maximum flows
for each station.
(8) A report, if
applicable, of industrial wastes discharged into the sewer system. This report
shall include the following:
(i) A copy of
any ordinance or regulation governing industrial waste discharges to the sewer
system or a copy of amendments adopted since the initial submission of the
ordinance or regulation under this chapter, if it has not previously been
submitted. Ordinances, regulations or fee structures may provide incentives to
industrial waste dischargers to use pollution prevention techniques to reduce
or eliminate the generation of industrial wastewater discharges to the sewer
system.
(ii) A discussion of the
permittee's or municipality's program for surveillance and monitoring of
industrial waste discharges into the sewer system during the past
year.
(iii) A discussion of
specific problems in the sewer system or at the plant, known or suspected to be
caused by industrial waste discharges and a summary of the steps being taken to
alleviate or eliminate the problems. The discussion shall include a list of
industries known to be discharging wastes which create problems in the plant or
in the sewer system and action taken to eliminate the problem or prevent its
recurrence. The report may describe pollution prevention techniques in the
summary of steps taken to alleviate current problems caused by industrial waste
dischargers and in actions taken to eliminate or prevent potential or recurring
problems caused by industrial waste dischargers.
(b) Permittees of sewer systems which
contribute sewage flows to the plant shall submit information to the permittee
of the plant as required to facilitate preparation of the annual
report.
