    Whether additional operation and maintenance (O&M) or additional pretreatment is required for the user to meet all applicable federal, state and local standards. If additional pretreatment or O&M will be required to meet the standards, then the industrial user shall indicate the shortest time schedule necessary to accomplish installation or adoption of such additional treatment and O&M. The completion date in this schedule shall not be longer than the compliance date established for the applicable pretreatment standard. The following conditions apply to this schedule:

    The schedule shall contain progress increments in the form of dates for the commencement and completion of major events leading to the construction and operation of additional pretreatment required for the user to meet the applicable pretreatment standards. Such events include hiring an engineer, completing preliminary plans, completing final plans, commencing construction, completing construction, beginning operation and conducting routine operation. No increment referred to in this subsection shall exceed nine months, nor shall the total compliance period exceed 18 months; and

    No later than 14 days following each date in the schedule and the final date for compliance, the user shall submit a progress report to the director including, as a minimum, whether or not it complied with the increment of progress, the reason for any delay, and if appropriate, the steps being taken by the user to return to the established schedule. In no event shall more than nine months elapse between such progress reports to the director;
