§ 53.083. INFORMATION AND DATA TO BE MADE AVAILABLE.
Latest version.
Information and data on a user obtained from reports, surveys, wastewater discharge
permit application, wastewater discharge permits, and monitoring programs, and from
City inspection and sampling activities, shall be available to the public without
restrictions, unless the user specifically requests, and is able to demonstrate to
the satisfaction of the Director, that the release of such information would divulge
information, process, or methods of production entitled to protection as trade secrets
under applicable State law. When requested by the user furnishing a report which has
been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Director to disclose trade secrets or
secret processes, the report shall not be made available for inspection by the Public,
but shall be made available immediately upon request to governmental agencies for
uses related to the NPDES program or pretreatment program, and in enforcement proceedings
involving the person furnishing the report. Wastewater constituents and characteristics
and other "effluent data" as defined by 40 CFR 2.302 will not be recognized as confidential
information and will be made available to the public without restriction.
