Home My WebLink AboutTransfer of Ownership - Industrial Wastewater Discharge PermitCITY OF SOUTH BEND PETE BUTTIGIEG, MAYOR EPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS Eric Horvath, Director December 2, 2019 Board of Public Works City of South Bend 1316 County City Building 227 West Jefferson Boulevard South Bend, IN 46601 RE: Transfer of Ownership Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit Dear Board Members: The Division of Environmental Services recommends approving the Industrial Discharge Permit renewal for St. John-Mittelhauser & Associates at the December 10, 2019 Board of Public Works Meeting. This is a permit for a remediation site that is a very small quantity discharger, having only discharged 150 gallons in the last five years and reported a maximum expected flow of 150 gallons per day. The permit has been changed so the permittee only is required to monitor for pollutant parameters expected to be present based on historical analytical data and on the contaminants of concern present at the remediation site. Other than this, there have been no significant changes to the permit. If you should have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at (574) 235-5852, or at Itrapp@southbendin.gov. Please let me know if the Board requests Pretreatment's attendance at the Board Meeting to present this permit. Sincerely, Latiren Trapp Pretreatment Manager City of South Bend Division of Environmental Services Department of Utilities 3113 Riverside Drive South Bend, IN 46628 (574)235-5852 Itrapp@southbendin.gov Enclosure(s) - Industrial Discharge Permit Signature Page & the Permit's Part I- Effluent Limitation and Part 11- Monitoring Requirements Facility Description A soil vapor extraction (SVE) remediation system on site operates to remove/reduce subsurface Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) contamination due to a former dry cleaning operation at the site. The remediation system will operate 24 hours 7 days a week. As the air from the SVE cools, condensation may form in the piping. The discharge will consist of this condensation. During times of elevated groundwater levels, it is possible that the SVE system may also remove some contaminated groundwater. The contaminated groundwater will be collected and sampled in the same manner as the condensate water. PART I — EFFLUENT LIMITATION A. Sample Port and Collection Location Sample Site Outfall # 315 is located on the site known as Monarch Textile Rental Services at 812 North Wilber Street, South Bend, IN 46628. In the SVE Equipment trailer located on the Northwest corner of the site, the sample port is located downstream of the wastewater holding/knock out tank and the granular activated carbon vessels. The wastewater will discharge to a sewer lateral connection located inside the Monarch facility. 2. Sample Site # 315 shall not exceed the following effluent limitations. Any discharge of water or waste having a pH lower than 6.0 S.U. or a pH higher than 11.0 S.U. is prohibited. In addition, the permittee's wastewater discharge shall not exceed the following effluent limitations: a. Daily Maximum Limit means the maximum allowable discharge limit of a pollutant during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that represents a calendar day. Where Daily Maximum Limits are expressed in units of mass, the daily discharge is the total mass discharged over the course of the day. Where Daily Maximum Limits are expressed in terms of a concentration, the daily discharge is the arithmetic average measurement of the pollutant concentration derived from all measurements taken that day. In the case of samples collected by the grab method, the daily maximum shall be applied as an Instantaneous Maximum Allowable Discharge Limit or as an Instantaneous Minimum Allowable Discharge Limit as follows: i. Instantaneous Maxinitim Allowable Disch re Limit — shall mean the maximum concentration or loading of a pollutant allowed to be discharged at any time, determined from analysis of any discrete or composite sample collected, independent of the industrial flow rate and the duration of the sampling event. St. John-Mittelhauser & Associates Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit page 1 of 38 H. histantaneotis 'Minii ium Allowable Discharge Limit — shall mean the minimum concentration of a pollutant allowed to be discharged at any time, determined from analysis of any discrete or composite sample collected, independent of the industrial flow rate and the duration of the sampling event. The lower pH limit is applied as an Instantaneous Minimum Allowable Discharge Limit. b. Monthly Avera to Limit means the maximum allowable average of daily discharges over a calendar month, calculated as the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges measured during a calendar month divided by the number of daily discharges measured that month. C. "Prohibit; No permittee shall introduce or cause to be introduced certain pollutants, substances, or wastewater into any public sewers, directly or indirectly into the POTW including, but not limited to gasoline, benzene, naphtha, fuel oil or other pollutants which create a fire or explosive hazard to the City's sewer system or POTW. St. John-Mittelhauser & Associates Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit page 2 of 38 PART II - MONITORING REQUIRMENTS A. Monitoring Frequency 1. The following parameters shall be monitored at the frequency and with the sampling type stated below. All measurements, tests, and analyses of the characteristics of water and wastes to which reference is made in this permit shall be conducted using the methods and procedures approved in 40 CFR 136 and amendments thereto, unless otherwise specified in an applicable Categorical Pretreatment Standard. The following parameters shall be monitored at sample site # 315 with the methods and at the frequency stated below: Sampling Fre Parameter _�_ __...n. mm....... quency Sampling Type Oil & Grease - Total I SemiAnnual Grab Oil & Grease TPH (ma SemiAnnual Grab . ...SU_.._._.SemiAnnual pH ( ) ..a .....w.. _ Grab .TTO.( g/ ... * *) SemiAnn.._..... ual _ _b...... ......

Monitoring Definitions 1. Composite — Samples are obtained through flow -proportional sampling technique over a 24-hour period or for the duration of discharge within the 24-hour sampling period, including multiple batches of wastewater. If the permittee demonstrates that time -proportional sampling is accurate or as representative as flow - proportional sampling, then a time -proportional sample may be collected. a. If the permittee chooses to demonstrate that time -proportional sampling is accurate or as representative as flow -proportional sampling, the permittee must submit a request, which includes the certification statement found in Part III (A) (4) signed by the Authorized Representative [see Part IV (B) (15)], within 120 days of the effective date of this permit or they shall commence flow -proportional sampling at that time. Request to conduct time -proportional sampling is subject to the Control Authority approval. St. John-Mittelhauser & Associates Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit page 3 of 38 2. Grab Sample — A single sample collected from a wastestream without regard to the flow in the wastestream and over a period of time not to exceed fifteen (15) minutes and taken at a time representative of normal discharge. 3. Continuously — The permittee shall monitor the discharge flow continuously and submit totalized daily flows with the Periodic Compliance Report (PCR). Each PCR shall include all flow measurements for the entire monitoring period covered in the report. This flow information shall be in addition to the flow data collected during sampling which shall be measured from the start of the sampling event to the end of the sampling event. 4. Daily monitoring frequency requires sampling to be conducted one (1) time in each calendar day. (Report due on the 201h of the following month) Weekly monitoring frequency requires sampling to be conducted one (1) time in each calendar week (Sunday to Saturday).
