Sec. 433.12  Monitoring requirements.



    (a) In lieu of requiring monitoring for TTO, the permitting 

authority (or, in the case of indirect dischargers, the control 

authority) may allow dischargers to make the following certification 

statement: ``Based on my inquiry of the person or persons directly 

responsible for managing compliance with the permit limitation [or 

pretreatment standard] for total toxic organics (TTO), I certify that, 

to the best of my knowledge and belief, no dumping of concentrated toxic 

organics into the wastewaters has occurred since filing of the last 

discharge monitoring report. I further certify that this facility is 

implementing the toxic organic management plan submitted to the 

permitting [or control] authority.'' For direct dischargers, this 

statement is to be included as a ``comment'' on the Discharge Monitoring 

Report required by 40 CFR 122.44(i), formerly 40 CFR 122.62(i). For 

indirect dischargers, the statement is to be included as a comment to 

the periodic reports required by 40 CFR 403.12(e). If monitoring is 

necessary to measure compliance with the TTO standard, the industrial 

discharger need analyse for only those pollutants which would reasonably 

be expected to be present.

    (b) In requesting the certification alternative, a discharger shall 

submit a solvent management plan that specifies to the satisfaction of 

the permitting authority (or, in the case of indirect dischargers, the 

control authority) the toxic organic compounds used; the method of 

disposal used instead of dumping, such as reclamation, contract hauling, 

or incineration; and procedures for ensuring that toxic organics do not 

routinely spill or leak into the wastewater. For direct dischargers, the 

permitting authority shall incorporate the plan as a provision of the 

permit.

    (c) Self-monitoring for cyanide must be conducted after cyanide 

treatment and before dilution with other streams. Alternatively, samples 

may be taken of the final effluent, if the plant limitations are 

adjusted based on the dilution ratio of the cyanide waste stream flow to 

the effluent flow.
