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.
