The Director or other duly authorized employees are authorized to obtain information concerning industrial processes which have a direct bearing on the kind and source of discharge to the wastewater collection system. The industry may not withhold information from the POTW concerning industrial processes which have direct bearing on the discharge to the POTW. If the user is able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Director that the release of this information would divulge information, processes, or methods of production entitled to protection as trade secrets under applicable State law, the information shall be kept confidential. Any such request shall be asserted at the time of submission of the information or data. When requested and demonstrated by the user furnishing the report that such information should be held confidential, the portions of the report which might disclose trade secrets or secret processes 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 permit or pretreatment program, and in enforcement proceedings involving the person furnishing the report. Wastewater constituents and other “effluent data” will not be recognized as confidential information and will be available (GRAMA).
