an analytical result of5.1 mgjL, the multiplier is 3. [(5.1 + 0.5) = 10.2, which rounded to next lower whole number is 10. 4. For violations of effluent limitations where the analytical result is less than or equal to 1.2 times the permitted effluent limitation, or is less than 0.2 pH units above or below a per- mitted effluent pH range, the City will not assess an administrative penalty for that viola- tion. The violation will, however, be recorded and treated as a permit violation for all other purposes, including the calculation of Significant Noncompliance. 5. For any series of violations of effluent limitations which meet the definition ofSig- nificant Noncompliance, the enforcement response will be the issuance of an Ad- ministrative Compliance Order. The penalty assessed will be as listed above, according to the number of months with violations, or as specified in the Order. 6. Penalties listed for effluent violations are per pollutant per day, and apply to results ob- tained from City or industrial user monitoring. The City may conduct monitoring as often as necessary to determine compliance. For the purposes of assessing an administrative civil penalty for a violation of effluent limitations, general discharge prohibitions, or specific restricted substance limitations, the term "day" shall have one of the following meanings: a. If the violation is determined from data obtained from a grab sample, or a series of grab samples, day means calendar day. b. If the violation is determined from data obtained from an automatic pH recording instrument, day means calendar day. c. If the violation is determined from data obtained from a composite sample collected by an automatic sampling device, day means the 24-hour period beginning at the time sampling is initiated. 7. A violation of a monthly average, weekly average, or 4-day average effluent limitation will be considered as one violation for the purpose of calculating the administrative penalty, or other enforcement response. 8. Penalties listed above (except penalties for Mobile Waste Haulers) will be subject to a flow-based multiplier according to the following: For any discharger with a total daily wastewater flow greater than 100,000 gallons per day, the administrative penalty listed in the enforcement response guide will be multiplied by (Q x 10), where Q is the daily wastewater flow in million gallons per day (MGD) for the industrial user responsible for the violation. For violations which relate to a separate wastestream (such as an effluent limitation specific to one of several wastestreams), the flow of this wastestream is used in the calculation. For general violations which relate to the facility as a whole (such as entry denial), the wastewater flow from the whole facility Appendix A to Admin Order No. 58-02-28-F Administrative Rule R -6.501 - Page 11 c:\ WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files\OLK61A5\02IndustrialPretreatment-2ao-AppA. wpd
