A.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any
stormwater, surface water, groundwater, roof runoff, subsurface drainage,
cooling water, swimming pool water or unpolluted industrial process waters
to any sanitary sewer.
B.
No connections shall be made to a sanitary or to a combined
sewer which connections are intended to discharge inflow. Such prohibited
connections include but are not limited to footer drains, roof leaders, roof
drains, cellar drains, sump pumps, catch basins, uncontaminated cooling water
discharges or other sources of inflow.
C.
For properties where separate storm sewers are available
within 100 feet of the property line or where, in the judgment of the Public
Works Administrator, sufficient natural drainage is available, connections
which contribute inflow to the sanitary sewers must be disconnected in a fashion
approved by the Public Works Administrator, prior to the sale of the property.
D.
Upon notice of the sale of a property, the Public Works
Administrator shall inspect said property for the purposes of determining
if storm sewers or natural drainage is available, and, if so, if all connections
which contribute inflow have been disconnected.
E.
It shall be a willful violation of this chapter for any
person to reconnect any inflow source which has been disconnected pursuant
to this article.
Stormwater and all other unpolluted drainage shall be discharged to
such sewers as are specifically designated as storm sewers, or to a watercourse
approved by the Public Works Administrator. Industrial cooling water or unpolluted
process waters may be discharged, upon approval by the Department of Environmental
Conservation, to a storm sewer or watercourse.
A.
No user shall contribute or cause to be contributed,
in any manner or fashion, directly or indirectly, any pollutant or wastewater
which will interfere with the operation or performance of the sewage disposal
system. These general prohibitions apply to all such users of the sewage disposal
system whether or not the user is subject to National Categorical Pretreatment
Standards, or any other national, state or local pretreatment standards or
requirements.
B.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a user
may not contribute the following substances to the sewage disposal system:
(1)
Any solids, liquids or gases which, by reason of their
nature or quantity, are or may be sufficient, either alone or by interaction
with other substances, to cause a fire or an explosion or be injurious, in
any way, to the sewage disposal system, or to the operation of the sewage
disposal system. At no time shall two successive readings on a flame type
explosion hazard meter, at the point of discharge into the system (or at any
other point in the system), be more than 25% nor any single reading be more
than 40% of the lower explosive limit (LEL) of the meter. Unless explicitly
allowable by a written permit, prohibited materials include but are not limited
to gasoline, antifreeze, paint, paint thinners or solvents of any kind, kerosene,
naphtha, benzene, toluene, xylene, ethers, alcohols, carbides, hydrides and
sulfides, and any volatile organic compounds or other substance which the
Village, the state or the EPA has determined to be a fire hazard, or hazard
to the sewage disposal system.
(2)
Solid or viscous substances which may cause obstruction
to the flow in a sewer or otherwise interfere with the operation of the wastewater
treatment facilities. Unless explicitly allowable by a written permit, such
substances include but are not limited to grease, garbage with particles greater
than 1/2 inch in any dimension, animal guts or tissues, paunch manure, bones,
hair, hides or fleshings, entrails, whole blood, feathers, ashes, cinders,
sand, spent lime, stone or marble dust, metal, glass, medical wastes, syringes,
formaldehydes, straw, shavings, grass clippings, rags, spent grains, spent
hops, wastepaper, wood, plastics, gas, tar asphalt residues, residues from
refining or processing fuel or lubricating oil, mud, or glass grinding or
polishing wastes.
(3)
Any wastewater having a pH less than 6.0 or greater than
9.0, unless the sewage treatment facility was specifically designed to manage
such wastewater, or wastewater having any other corrosive property capable
of causing damage or hazard to structures, equipment and/or sewage disposal
system personnel.
(4)
Any wastewater containing toxic pollutants in sufficient
quantity, either singly or by interaction with other pollutants (including
heat), to injure or interfere with any wastewater treatment process, constitute
a hazard to humans or animals, create a toxic effect in the receiving waters
of the sewage disposal system, or to exceed the limitation set forth in a
categorical pretreatment standard.
(5)
Any noxious or malodorous solids, liquids or gases which
either singly or by interaction with other wastes are sufficient to create
a public nuisance or a hazard to life or are sufficient to prevent entry into
the sewers for their maintenance or repair.
(6)
Oils and greases. Any commercial, institutional or industrial
wastes containing floatable fats, waxes, grease or oils, or which become floatable
when the wastes cool to the temperature prevailing, in the wastewater at the
treatment facility, during the winter season; also any commercial, institutional
or industrial wastes containing more than 100 milligrams per liter of emulsified
oil or grease; also any substances which will cause the sewage to become substantially
more viscous, at any seasonal sewage temperature in the sewage disposal system.
(7)
Any substance which will cause interference or pass-through.
(8)
Any wastewater with objectionable color which is not
removable in the treatment process, such as but not limited to dye wastes,
and vegetable tanning solutions.
(9)
Any solid, liquid, vapor or gas having a temperature
higher than 150° F.; however, such materials shall not cause the treatment
plant influent temperature to be greater than 104° F. The Public Works
Administrator reserves the right, in certain instances, to prohibit wastes
at temperatures lower than 150° F.
(10)
Unusual flow rate or concentration of wastes, constituting
slugs.
(11)
Any wastewater containing any radioactive wastes.
(12)
Any wastewater which causes a hazard to human life or
which creates a public nuisance, either by itself or in combination, in any
way, with other wastes.
C.
No person shall discharge, directly or indirectly, into
the sewage disposal system, wastewater containing any of the following substances
in concentrations exceeding those specified below on either a daily or an
instantaneous basis, except by permit or as provided for herein. Concentration
limits are applicable to wastewater effluent at point just prior to discharge
into the sewage disposal system.

The sewage disposal system sludge will be rendered unacceptable
for disposal or reuse as the Village desires, as a result of discharge of
wastewaters at the above prescribed concentration limitations;
(4)
Municipal employees or the public will be endangered;
or
(5)
Air pollution and/or groundwater pollution will be caused.
E.
No user shall increase the use of process water or, in
any other way, attempt to dilute a discharge as a partial or complete substitute
for adequate treatment to achieve compliance with a pretreatment standard.
F.
Dilution flow shall be considered to be inflow.
A.
Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided when,
in the opinion of the Village Engineer, they are necessary for the proper
handling of liquid wastes containing grease in excessive amounts, or any flammable
wastes, sand and other harmful ingredients; except that such interceptors
shall not be required for private living quarters or dwelling units. All interceptors
shall be made of a type and capacity approved by the Village Engineer, and
shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.[1]
