Information and data on a user obtained from reports, surveys, wastewater discharge permit applications, individual wastewater discharge permits, and monitoring programs, and from the manager inspection and sampling activities, shall be available to the public without restriction, unless the user specifically requests, and is able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the manager, that the release of specific information would divulge information, processes, or methods of production entitled to protection as trade secrets under applicable state law. Any such request must be asserted at the time of submission of the information or data. When requested and demonstrated by the user furnishing a report that specific information should be held confidential, the portions of a report which might disclose trade secrets or secret processes shall be redacted and not made available for inspection by the public. Regardless of any such assertion of confidentiality, all information, unredacted, shall be made available immediately upon request to governmental agencies for uses related to the UPDES program or pretreatment program, and in enforcement proceedings involving the person or entity furnishing the report. Wastewater constituents and characteristics, and other effluent data, as defined at 40 CFR section 2.302, shall not be recognized as confidential information and shall be available to the public without restriction.
