Section 7:14C-1.9 - Specific reporting requirements for industrial treatment works(a) Each industrial treatment works in Category 6 through 13 (see 7:14C-1.5 ) shall, for each calendar year (January 1 through December 31), submit to the Department by March 1 of the year following the monitoring year a WCR form containing the following information: 1. The total quantity of process wastewater sludge removed for use or disposal on a wet basis in gallons per year, cubic yards per year and/or metric tons per year;2. The total quantity of process wastewater sludge removed for use or disposal on a dry weight basis in metric tons per year; and3. The total solids content (percent by weight) of each form of process wastewater sludge removed for use or disposal;(b) Each industrial treatment works in Category 6 through 13 (see 7:14C-1.5 ) shall, for each calendar month (beginning the first day of the calendar month and ending on the last day of the calendar month) submit an RTR form to the Department on or before the first day of the third month following the last day of the monitoring month. The Category 6 through 13 industrial treatment works shall enter the quantity of sludge removed to each individual ultimate sludge management alternative on a wet basis in gallons per month, cubic yards per month, and/or metric tons per month. The industrial treatment works shall include on the RTR form the New Jersey facility identification number under the Department's New Jersey Environmental Management System (NJEMS) for each ultimate sludge management alternative. If an ultimate sludge management alternative is located in New Jersey but has not been assigned an NJEMS facility identification number, the industrial treatment works shall include on the RTR form the name of the sludge management alternative and the applicable New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES), Air Pollution Control, or Solid Waste permit number. If an ultimate sludge management alternative is not located in New Jersey, and has not been assigned an NJEMS facility identification number, the industrial treatment works shall include on the RTR form the name and location of the out-of-State sludge management alternative, and the full address and telephone number of the appropriate permitting authority.(c) In accordance with the schedule in (c)1 through 4 below, each industrial treatment works in the specified categories (see 7:14C-1.5 ) shall analyze the process wastewater sludge removed for use or disposal for any of the parameters listed in the Appendix, Tables I through VII, that are currently manufactured, processed, formed, repackaged, handled, used, disposed, or stored in or otherwise expected to be present in the process wastewater sludge removed at the facility served by the industrial treatment works, or that are limited under the NJPDES, Air Pollution Control, or Solid Waste Permit for the ultimate sludge management alternative used by the industrial treatment works. The industrial treatment works shall submit the results of the analyses to the Department on DMR forms on or before the first day of the third month following the last day of the monitoring month. For the purposes of this subsection, a monitoring month begins on the first day of the calendar month and ends on the last day of the calendar month.1. For industrial treatment works in Category 6, the monitoring month is any one calendar month of the year;2. For industrial treatment works in Category 7, the monitoring month is any one calendar month in each three-month period;3. For industrial treatment works in Category 8, the monitoring month is any one calendar month in each two-month period; and4. For industrial treatment works in Category 9, the monitoring month is each calendar month of the year.(d) In accordance with the schedule in (d)1 through 4 below, each industrial treatment works in the specified categories (see 7:14C-1.5 ) shall analyze the process wastewater sludge removed for use or disposal for all of the parameters listed in the Appendix, Table VIII. In addition, each industrial treatment works shall analyze the process wastewater sludge removed for use or disposal for any of the parameters listed in the Appendix, Tables I through VII, that are manufactured, processed, formed, repackaged, handled, used, disposed, or stored in or otherwise expected to be present in the process wastewater sludge removed at the facility served by the industrial treatment works, or that are limited under the NJPDES, Air Pollution Control, or Solid Waste Permit for the ultimate sludge management alternative used by the industrial treatment works. The industrial treatment works shall submit the results of the analyses to the Department on DMR forms on or before the first day of the third month following the last day of the monitoring month. For the purposes of this subsection, a monitoring month begins on the first day of the calendar month and ends on the last day of the calendar month. 1. For industrial treatment works in Category 10, the monitoring month is any one calendar month of the year;2. For industrial treatment works in Category 11, the monitoring month is any one calendar month in each three-month period;3. For industrial treatment works in Category 12, the monitoring month is any one calendar month in each two-month period; and4. For industrial treatment works in Category 13, the monitoring month is each calendar month of the year.(e) An industrial treatment works in Category 10 through 13 (see 7:14C-1.5 ) that has not received a NJPDES permit issued by the Department under N.J.A.C. 7:14A shall sample and analyze its process wastewater sludge and submit the results of the analyses to the Department in accordance with this section.(f) An industrial treatment works in Categories 6 through 9 (see 7:14C-1.5 ) that has not received a NJPDES permit issued by the Department under N.J.A.C. 7:14A shall sample and analyze its process wastewater sludge in accordance with this section and shall maintain records of the results of the analyses on file on-site, but is not required to submit reports to the Department except as provided under (g) and (h) below.(g) Each industrial treatment works subject to (f) above shall submit representative results of the analyses required under (f) above and the information in (g)1 through 5 below to the Department within 90 days after a new industrial treatment works starts operation. Updates to the information in (f) above and (g)1 through 5 below shall be required to be submitted to the Department when physical alterations or additions to the industrial treatment works are made and alterations or additions are expected by the industrial treatment works to result in a change in any of the parameters listed in the chapter Appendix, Tables I through VII, that are manufactured, processed, formed, repackaged, handled, used, disposed, or stored at the facility served by the industrial treatment works or upon any change in residual use or disposal practices. 1. The name, location, and mailing address of the industrial treatment works;2. The percentage of total influent to the industrial treatment works that is domestic wastewater;3. The operator's name, address, and telephone number;4. A description of the process wastewater sludge use or disposal practices (including, where applicable, the location of any sites where sludge is transferred for treatment, use, or disposal, as well as the name of any applicator or other contractor who applies the sludge to land); and5. The annual amount of process wastewater sludge generated at the industrial treatment works, the annual amount of process wastewater sludge received from off-site sources and, by each use or disposal method, the annual amount (in dry metric tons) of sludge removed for the 365-day period immediately preceding submittal of the information required under this subsection.(h) Under 7:14A-20.5(d), and based on the information submitted under (g) above, the Department may designate any person as a "treatment works treating domestic sewage" or "sludge-only facility" where it determines that a permit is necessary to protect public health and the environment from the adverse effects of a sludge or to ensure compliance with the technical standards for sludge use or disposal. Any person so designated shall submit an application for a permit under N.J.A.C. 7:14A within 180 days of being notified by the Department that a permit is required, and the Department may require any industrial treatment works so designated to submit the reports pursuant to (a), (b), (c) and/or (d) above.N.J.
