comply with the discharge limitations and requirements of Ordinance 9195 prior to or during the
administrative review process.
7. All requests for administrative review shall be initially reviewed by the Department through the Office
of the Coordinator of Environmental Affairs and an administrative conference date will be established.
Any request not containing the information required by Rule 2 may be summarily rejected by the
Coordinator of Environmental Affairs and a notice sent to the requesting party stating the reason for
summary rejection. Summary rejection of a request does not preclude the requesting party from
submitting a new request in accordance with these rules.
8. Requests based on mistaken identification of a RCF, clerical error in the analysis of a waste stream, or
the lack of a physical connection between the discharge facilities of the requesting party and the POTW
system may be resolved in writing by the Director upon reconunendation of the Coordinator of
Environmental Affairs, in favor of the requesting party, without the need for an administrative

of the requirements of Ordinance 9195 relating to waste generation, disposal or discharge, or relating
to sampling, testing, and analysis of wastes discharged into the POTW system, which in the opinion
of the Director, would provide an evidentiary basis for rendering his decision. Where financial inability
to pay forms the basis for the request and the requested relief involves the payment offees in
installments or the mitigation of penalties or fines, the Director may require the requesting party to
provide financial statements or accounting data supporting it claim.
13. The Director may take such action following his administrative review as is appropriate for the safe
and environmentally sound operation and maintenance of the POTW's and the pretreatment permit
system; however, the Director shall not:
a. authorize violations of the requirements of Ordinance 9195 or
b. remove any facility from the pretreatment permit system if the facility is discharging any
pollutants into the POTW system in excess of the discharge limits established by Ordinance
9195.
14. The Director may compromise and/or mitigate the amount of penalties to be assessed for violation of
Ordinance 9195 based upon an affirmative good faith shown by the violator that one or more of the
following mitigating factors are applicable to the violating facility:
a. a lack of previous violations and historic compliance with discharge limits;
b. the cause of the violation was due to an act of God, war, or third parties not associated with
the facility;
c. the nature and gravity of the violation was not significant;
d. good faith efforts by the violator to prevent future violations;
e. payment of the full penalty amount creates a real and verifiable danger of making the facility
incapable of future operation;
f. other pertinent factors which, in the opinion of the Director, are probative of the fact that the
violation did not endanger the public safety, health or welfare and did not jeopardize the
integrity of the POTW's of the pretreatment permit system;
g. levying fines shall be in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection
Agency's approved enforcement procedures.
15. The Director may, for good cause shown, make permit fees payable through installments over a period
not to exceed 120 days from the date such fees are due, but the Director may not waive permit fees.
16. Decisions of the Director rendered in the administrative review process shall be final, shall be in
writing and shall be based on the full and complete written administrative record compiled by the
Department and the requesting party.
17. Information received by the Department in the course of the administrative review process may be
classified as confidential by the Department only if the Director makes a written determination that
confidentiality is necessary to protect trade secrets, proprietary secrets and information, and
commercial or financial information. However, such a finding regarding confidentiality shall not apply
to necessary use by authorized officers or employees of the department or the federal government in
carrying out their responsibilities under Ordinance 9195 or applicable federal law.

Department of Public Works does hereby establish these rules for the administrative review of any appeal lodged
by a RCF of the City/Parish POTW system who is permitted for or whom the Department has notified must
obtain a permit for discharge of waste into the Publicly Owned Treatment Works system of the City of Baton
Rouge and the Parish of East Baton Rouge.
PARTIES
I. Any RCF who has received notice of the requirement to file an application for a pretreatment permit
for discharge into POTW's of the City/Parish, or a RCF who is presently permitted for discharge into
the POTW'S of the City/Parish may request an administrative review of the inclusion of said RCF
within the scope of the permit program, or may request administrative review of any fee, fine, penalty,
assessment, or order issued by the Director of the Department of Public Works in connection with
permitting of or discharges by said user into tl1e City/Parish POTW system.
PAYMENT UNDER PROTEST
2. Ifthe request for administrative review is related to payment of pretreatment permit fees or the amount
of such fees, the RCF must indicate when paying the permit fee that, the fee is being paid under protest.
Said RCF must, simultaneously with the payment of the permit fee, file a request for an administrative
review setting forth the basis for the protest of the payment.
3. If the request for administrative review is related to assessment of fines, penalties, or the issuance of
an order by the Director of the Department of Public Works or his designee based on a violation of the
provisions and requirements or Ordinance 9195 said request must be filed with the Director within
thirty days of the receipt of such assessment.
CONTENTS OF REQUEST FOR ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW
4. All requests for administrative review shall be in writing, shall be signed by the RCF or his authorized
representative, and shall, at a minimum, state:
a. The name, address and phone number of the individual filing the request;
b. the fee, fine, penalty or order from which relief is sought;
c. the name, address and telephone number of the regulated facility;
d. the name, address, business title or position, and telephone number of the authorized agent or
representative or other responsible person for operation of the facility's discharges into the
POTW system;
e. the basis upon which relief is sought;
f. extenuating circumstances or specific justification for granting the relief sought.
5. A request for administrative review shall be filed by hand delivery or by mail directed to: Coordinator
of Environmental Affairs, Department of Public Works, Post Office Box 1471, Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, 70821.
6. Filing a request for administrative review does not suspend the obligation of the requesting party to
comply with the discharge limitations and requirements of Ordinance 9195 prior to or during the
administrative review process.
7. All requests for administrative review shall be initially reviewed by the Department through the Office
of the Coordinator of Environmental Affairs and an administrative conference date will be established.
Any request not containing the information required by Rule 2 may be summarily rejected by the
Coordinator of Environmental Affairs and a notice sent to the requesting party stating the reason for
summary rejection. Summary rejection of a request does not preclude the requesting party from
submitting a new request in accordance with these rules.
8. Requests based on mistaken identification of a RCF, clerical error in the analysis of a waste stream, or
the lack of a physical connection between the discharge facilities of the requesting party and the POTW
system may be resolved in writing by the Director upon recommendation of the Coordinator of
Environmental Affairs, in favor of the requesting party, without the need for an administrative
conference. All other requests must be the subject of at least one administrative conference between
the requesting party and one or more of the following department officials: the Coordinator of
Environmental Affairs, the Pretreatment Manager, or the Environmental Engineer.
9. The administrative conference will be informal in nature. At the administrative conference the
Department will compile an administrative record consisting of pertinent records of the Department
regarding the requesting party and discharges from the requesting party's facility, as well as, any
evidentiary filings the requesting party desires to introduce into the record.
10. Following the administrative conference, a staff determination on a request shall be rendered jointly
by the Coordinator of Environmental Affairs, the Pretreatment Manager, and the Environmental
Engineer. The decision shall be entered into the administrative record and a copy thereof shall be
forwarded to the RCF. If no appeal of the staff determination is filed with the Director within thirty
days of the date of the staff determination, the Director may approve the staff determination and render
a final decision based thereon.
11. Appeal of the staff determination on any request may be made in writing to the Director of the
Department of Public Works within thirty days of the date of the staff determination. Such appeal
request may provide any additional information the requesting party believes necessary for the
complete and thorough understanding of the request. If, in the opinion of the Director, an additional
administrative conferences is necessary to fully assess the issues raised by the requesting party, the
Director may give notice of such conference to the requesting party and the representatives of the
Department; additional written evidence or information for the administrative record may be provided
by the requesting party and representative of the Department of this time.
12. The Director may require that the requesting party provide any information maintained by it as a result
of the requirements of Ordinance 9195 relating to waste generation, disposal or discharge, or relating
to sampling, testing, and analysis of wastes discharged into the POTW system, which in the opinion
of the Director, would provide an evidentiary basis for rendering his decision. Where financial
inability to pay forms the basis for the request and the requested relief involves the payment of fees in
installments or the mitigation of penalties or fines, the Director may require the requesting party to
provide financial statements or accounting data supporting it claim.
13. The Director may take such action following his administrative review as is appropriate for the safe
and environmentally sound operation and maintenance of the POTW's and the pretreatment permit
system; however, the Director shall not:

b. remove any facility from the pretreatment permit system if the facility is discharging any
pollutants into the POTW system in excess of the discharge limits established by Ordinance
9195.
14. The Director may compromise and/or mitigate the amount of penalties to be assessed for violation of
Ordinance 9195 based upon an affirmative good faith shown by the violator that one or more of the
following mitigating factors are applicable to the violating facility:
a. a lack of previous violations and historic compliance with discharge limits;
b. the cause of the violation was due to an act of God, war, or third parties not associated with
the facility;
c. the nature and gravity of the violation was not significant;
d. good faith efforts by the violator to prevent future violations;
e. payment of the full penalty amount creates a real and verifiable danger of making the facility
incapable of future operation;
f. other pertinent factors which, in the opinion of the Director, are probative of the fact that the
violation did not endanger the public safety, health or welfare and did not jeopardize the
integrity of the POTW's of the pretreatment permit system;
g. levying fines shall be in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection
Agency's approved enforcement procedures.
15. The Director may, for good cause shown, make permit fees payable through installments over a period
not to exceed 120 days from the date such fees are due, but the Director may not waive permit fees.
16. Decisions of the Director rendered in the administrative review process shall be final, shall be in
writing and shall be based on the full and complete written administrative record compiled by the
Department and the requesting party.
17. Information received by the Department in the course of the administrative review process may be
classified as confidential by the Department only if the Director makes a written determination that
confidentiality is necessary to protect trade secrets, proprietary secrets and information, and

by a RCF of the City/Parish POTW system who is permitted for or whom the Department has notified must
obtain a permit for discharge of waste into the Publicly Owned Treatment Works system of the City of Baton
Rouge and the Parish of East Baton Rouge.
PARTIES
1. Any RCF who has received notice of the requirement to file an application for a pretreatment permit
for discharge into POTW's of the City/Parish, or a RCF who is presently permitted for discharge into
the POTW'S of the City/Parish may request an administrative review of the inclusion of said RCF
within the scope of the permit program, or may request administrative review of any fee, fine, penalty,
assessment, or order issued by the Director of the Department of Public Warks in connection with
permitting of or discharges by said user into the City/Parish POTW system.
PAYMENT UNDER PROTEST
2. Ifthe request for administrative review is related to payment of pretreatment permit fees or the amount
of such fees, the RCF must indicate when paying the permit fee that, the fee is being paid under protest.
Said RCF must, simultaneously with the payment of the permit fee, file a request for an administrative
review setting forth the basis for the protest of the payment.
3. If the request for administrative review is related to assessment of fines, penalties, or the issuance of
an order by the Director of the Department of Public Works or his designee based on a violation of the
provisions and requirements or Ordinance 9195 said request must be filed with the Director within
thirty days of the receipt of such assessment.
CONTENTS OF REQUEST FOR ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW
4. All requests for administrative review shall be in writing, shall be signed by the RCF or his authorized
representative, and shall, at a minimum, state:
a. The name, address and phone number of the individual filing the request;
b. the fee, fine, penalty or order from which relief is sought;
c. the name, address and telephone number of the regulated facility;
d. the name, address, business title or position, and telephone number of the authorized agent or
representative or other responsible person for operation of the facility's discharges into the

e. the basis upon which relief is sought;
f. extenuating circumstances or specific justification for granting the relief sought.
5. A request for administrative review shall be filed by hand delivery or by mail directed to: Coordinator
of Environmental Affairs, Department of Public Works, Post Office Box 1471, Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, 70821.
6. Filing a request for administrative review does not suspend the obligation of the requesting party to
comply with the discharge limitations and requirements of Ordinance 9195 prior to or during the
administrative review process.
7. All requests for administrative review shall be initially reviewed by the Department through the Office
of the Coordinator of Environmental Affairs and an administrative conference date will be established.
Any request not containing the information required by Rule 2 may be summarily rejected by the
Coordinator of Environmental Affairs and a notice sent to the requesting party stating the reason for
summary rejection. Summary rejection of a request does not preclude the requesting party from
submitting a new request in accordance with these rules.
8. Requests based on mistaken identification of a RCF, clerical error in the analysis of a waste stream, or
the Jack of a physical connection between the discharge facilities of the requesting party and the POTW
system may be resolved in writing by the Director upon recommendation of the Coordinator of
Environmental Affairs, in favor of the requesting party, without the need for an administrative
conference. All other requests must be the subject of at least one administrative conference between
the requesting party and one or more of the following department officials: the Coordinator of
Environmental Affairs, the Pretreatment Manager, or the Environmental Engineer.
9. The administrative conference will be informal in nature. At the administrative conference the

Department; additional written evidence or information for the administrative record may be provided
by the requesting party and representative of the Department of this time.
12. The Director may require that the requesting party provide any information maintained by it as a result
of the requirements of Ordinance 9195 relating to waste generation, disposal or discharge, or relating
to sampling, testing, and analysis of wastes discharged into the POTW system, which in the opinion
of the Director, would provide an evidentiary basis for rendering his decision. Where financial inability
to pay forms the basis for the request and the requested relief involves the payment of fees in
installments or the mitigation of penalties or fines, the Director may require the requesting party to
provide financial statements or accounting data supporting it claim.
13. The Director may take such action following his administrative review as is appropriate for the safe
and environmentally sound operation and maintenance of the POTW's and the pretreatment permit
system; however, the Director shall not:

into the POTW system in excess of the discharge limits established by Ordinance 9195.
14. The Director may compromise and/or mitigate the amount of penalties to be assessed for violation of
Ordinance 9195 based upon an affirmative good faith shown by the violator that one or more of the
following mitigating factors are applicable to the violating facility:
a . a lack of previous violations and historic compliance with discharge limits;
b. the cause of the violation was due to an act of God, war, or third parties not associated with
the facility;
c . the nature and gravity of the violation was not significant;
d. good faith efforts by the violator to prevent future violations;
e . payment of the full penalty amount creates a real and verifiable danger of making the facility
incapable of future operation;
f. other pertinent factors which, in the opinion of the Director, are probative of the fact that the
violation did not endanger the public safety, health or welfare and did not jeopardize the
integrity of the POTW's of the pretreatment permit system;
g. levying fines shall be in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection
Agency's approved enforcement procedures.
15. The Director may, for good cause shown, make permit fees payable through installments over a period
not to exceed 120 days from the date such fees are due, but the Director may not waive permit fees.
16. Decisions of the Director rendered in the administrative review process shall be final, shall be in
writing and shall be based on the full and complete written administrative record compiled by the
Department and the requesting party.
17. Information received by the Department in the course of the administrative review process may be
classified as confidential by the Department only if the Director makes a written determination that

12. The Director may require that the requesting party provide any information maintained by it as a result
of the requirements of Ordinance 9195 relating to waste generation, disposal or discharge, or relating
to sampling, testing, and analysis of wastes discharged into the POTW system, which in the opinion
of the Director, would provide an evidentiary basis for rendering his decision. Where financial
inability to pay forms the basis for the request and the requested relief involves the payment of fees in

d. good faith efforts by the violator to prevent future violations;
e. payment of the full penalty amount creates a real and verifiable danger of making the facility
incapable of future operation;
f. other pertinent factors which, in the opinion of the Director, are probative of the fact that the
violation did not endanger the public safety, health or welfare and did not jeopardize the
integrity of the POTW's of the pretreatment permit system;
g. levying fines shall be in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection
Agency's approved enforcement procedures.

Department of Public Works does hereby establish these rules for the administrative review of any appeal lodged
by a RCF of the City/Parish POTW system who is permitted for or whom the Department has notified must
obtain a permit for discharge of waste into the Publicly Owned Treatment Works system of the City of Baton
Rouge and the Parish of East Baton Rouge.
PARTIES
l. Any RCF who has received notice of the requirement to file an application for a pretreatment permit for
discharge into POTW's of the City/Parish, or a RCF who is presently permitted for discharge into the
POTW'S of the City/Parish may request an administrative review of the inclusion of said RCF
within the scope of the permit program, or may request administrative review of any fee, fine, penalty,
assessment, or order issued by the Director of the Department of Public Works in connection with
permitting of or discharges by said user into the City/Parish POTW system.
PAYMENT UNDER PROTEST
2. Ifthe request for administrative review is related to payment of pretreatment permit fees or the amount
of such fees, the RCF must indicate when paying the permit fee that, the fee is being paid under protest.
Said RCF must, simultaneously with the payment of the permit fee, file a request for an administrative
review setting forth the basis for the protest of the payment.
3. If the request for administrative review is related to assessment of fines, penalties, or the issuance of
an order by the Director of the Department of Public Works or his designee based on a violation of the
provisions and requirements or Ordinance 9195 said request must be filed with the Director within
thirty days of the receipt of such assessment.
CONTENTS OF REQUEST FOR ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW
4. All requests for administrative review shall be in writing, shall be signed by the RCF or his authorized
representative, and shall, at a minimum, state:
a. The name, address and phone number of the individual filing the request;
b. the fee, fine, penalty or order from which relief is sought;
c. the name, address and telephone number of the regulated facility;
d. the name, address, business title or position, and telephone number of the authorized agent or
representative or other responsible person for operation of the facility's discharges into the
POTW system;
e. the basis upon which relief is sought;
f. extenuating circumstances or specific justification for granting the relief sought.
5. A request for administrative review shall be filed by hand delivery or by mail directed to: Coordinator
of Environmental Affairs, Department of Public Works, Post Office Box 1471, Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, 70821.
6. Filing a request for administrative review does not suspend the obligation of the requesting party to
comply with the discharge limitations and requirements of Ordinance 9195 prior to or during the
administrative review process.
7. All requests for administrative review shall be initially reviewed by the Department through the Office
of the Coordinator of Environmental Affairs and an administrative conference date will be established.
Any request not containing the information required by Rule 2 may be summarily rejected by the
Coordinator of Environmental Affairs and a notice sent to the requesting party stating the reason for
summary rejection. Summary rejection of a request does not preclude the requesting party from
submitting a new request in accordance with these rules.
8. Requests based on mistaken identification of a RCF, clerical error in the analysis of a waste stream, or
the lack of a physical connection between the discharge facilities of the requesting party and the POTW
system may be resolved in writing by the Director upon recommendation of the Coordinator of
Environmental Affairs, in favor of the requesting party, without the need for an administrative
conference. All other requests must be the subject of at least one administrative conference between
the requesting party and one or more of the following department officials: the Coordinator of
Environmental Affairs, the Pretreatment Manager, or the Environmental Engineer.
9. The administrative conference will be informal in nature. At the administrative conference the
Department will compile an administrative record consisting of pertinent records of the Department
regarding the requesting party and discharges from the requesting party's facility, as well as, any
evidentiary filings the requesting party desires to introduce into the record.
I 0. Following the administrative conference, a staff determination on a request shall be rendered jointly by
the Coordinator of Environmental Affairs, the Pretreatment Manager, and the Environmental
Engineer. The decision shall be entered into the administrative record and a copy thereof shall be
forwarded to the RCF. Ifno appeal of the staff determination is filed with the Director within thirty
days of the date of the staff determination, the Director may approve the staff determination and render
a final decision based thereon.
11. Appeal of the staff determination on any request may be made in writing to the Director of the
Department of Public Works within thirty days of the date of the staff determination. Such appeal
request may provide any additional information the requesting party believes necessary for the
complete and thorough understanding of the request. If, in the opinion of the Director, an additional
administrative conferences is necessary to fully assess the issues raised by the requesting party, the
Director may give notice of such conference to the requesting party and the representatives of the
Department; additional written evidence or information for the administrative record may be provided
by the requesting party and representative of the Department of this time.
12. The Director may require that the requesting party provide any information maintained by it as a result
of the requirements of Ordinance 9195 relating to waste generation, disposal or discharge, or relating
to sampling, testing, and analysis of wastes discharged into the POTW system, which in the opinion
of the Director, would provide an evidentiary basis for rendering his decision. Where financial
inability to pay forms the basis for the request and the requested relief involves the payment of fees in
installments or the mitigation of penalties or fines, the Director may require the requesting party to
provide financial statements or accounting data supporting it claim.
13. The Director may take such action following his administrative review as is appropriate for the safe
and environmentally sound operation and maintenance of the POTW's and the pretreatment permit
system; however, the Director shall not:
a. authorize violations of the requirements of Ordinance 9195 or
b. remove any facility from the pretreatment permit system if the facility is discharging any
pollutants into the POTW system in excess of the discharge limits established by Ordinance
9195.
14. The Director may compromise and/or mitigate the amount of penalties to be assessed for violation of
Ordinance 9195 based upon an affirmative good faith shown by the violator that one or more of the
following mitigating factors are applicable to the violating facility:
a. a lack of previous violations and historic compliance with discharge limits;
b. the cause of the violation was due to an act of God, war, or third parties not associated with
the facility;
c. the nature and gravity of the violation was not significant;
d. good faith efforts by the violator to prevent future violations;
e. payment of the full penalty amount creates a real and verifiable danger of making the facility
incapable of future operation;
f. other pertinent factors which, in the opinion of the Director, are probative of the fact that the
violation did not endanger the public safety, health or welfare and did not jeopardize the
integrity of the POTW's of the pretreatment permit system;
g. levying fines shall be in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection
Agency's approved enforcement procedures.
15. The Director may, for good cause shown, make permit fees payable through installments over a period
not to exceed 120 days from the date such fees are due, but the Director may not waive permit fees.
16. Decisions of the Director rendered in the administrative review process shall be final, shall be in
writing and shall be based on the full and complete written administrative record compiled by the
Department and the requesting party.
17. Information received by the Department in the course of the administrative review process may be
classified as confidential by the Department only if the Director makes a written determination that
confidentiality is necessary to protect trade secrets, proprietary secrets and information, and
commercial or financial information. However, such a finding regarding confidentiality shall not apply

Case Narrative
Client: ARS International Report: 215110556
Gulf Coast Analytical Laboratories received and analyzed the sample(s) listed on the Report Sample Summary page of this report. Receipt of the sample(s) is documented by the attached chain of custody. This applies only to the sample(s) listed in this report. No sample integrity or quality control exceptions were identified unless noted below.
METALS
In the EPA 200.8 analysis for prep batch 571819, the MS/MSD recoveries and RPD are not applicable for Copper because the sample concentration is greater than four times the spike concentration.
CONVENTIONALS
In the HACH 8000 analysis, sample 21511055602 (11052015-02125 (COMP)) had to be diluted in order to bracket the concentration within the calibration range of the instrument.
In the EPA 420.4 Rev. 1 analysis, sample 21511055601 (11052015-02125) had to be diluted in order to bracket the concentration within the calibration range of the instrument.
In the SM 5310 B-2011 analysis, sample 21511055602 (11052015-02125 (COMP)) had to be diluted in order to bracket the Total Carbon and/or Total Inorganic Carbon concentrations within the calibration range of the instrument. The Total Organic Carbon is based on the difference between the Total Carbon and the Inorganic Carbon. The dilution is reflected in the elevated reporting limit.
In the Total Phenolics analysis for prep batch 572040, the batch MS recovery is outside the control limits. The LCS recovery is acceptable. This indicates the analysis is in control and the sample is affected by matrix interference.
