As a means of determining compliance with this chapter, with
applicable SPDES permit conditions, and with applicable state and
federal law, each industrial user shall be required to notify the
Superintendent of any new or existing discharges to the POTW by submitting
a completed Industrial Chemical Survey (ICS) form and a completed
Industrial Wastewater Survey (IWS) form to the Superintendent. The
Superintendent may require any user discharging wastewater into the
POTW to file wastewater discharge reports and to supplement such reports
as the Superintendent deems necessary. All information shall be furnished
by the user in complete cooperation with the Superintendent.
The Superintendent shall, from time to time, notify each industrial
user of applicable pretreatment standards, and of other applicable
requirements under Section 204(B) and Section 405 of the Clean Water
Act, and Subtitles C and D of RCRA.
No person shall cause the discharge of slugs to the POTW. Each
person discharging into the POTW greater than 100,000 gallons per
day or greater than 5% of the average daily flow in the POTW, whichever
is lesser, unless otherwise waived by the Town Board shall install
and maintain, on his property and at his expense, a suitable storage
and flow control facility to insure equalization of flow over a twenty-four-hour
period. The facility shall have a capacity for at least 50% of the
daily discharge volume and shall be equipped with alarms and a rate
of discharge controller, the regulation of which shall be directed
by the Superintendent. A wastewater discharge permit may be issued
solely for flow equalization.
Preliminary treatment and flow equalization facilities or monitoring
stations, if provided for any wastewater, shall be constructed and
maintained continuously clean, safe, and continuously operational
by the owner at his expense. Where an industrial user has such treatment,
equalization, or monitoring facilities at the time this chapter is
enacted, the Superintendent may approve or disapprove the adequacy
of such facilities. Where the Superintendent, after consultation with
appropriate agencies, disapproves of such facilities and construction
of new or upgraded facilities for treatment, equalization, or monitoring
are required, plans and specifications for such facilities shall be
prepared by a licensed professional engineer and submitted to the
Superintendent. Construction of new or upgraded facilities shall not
commence until written approval of the Superintendent has been obtained.
No unauthorized person shall negligently break, damage, destroy,
uncover, deface, tamper with, prevent access, or render inaccurate,
or cause or permit the negligent breaking, damaging, destroying, uncovering,
defacing, tampering with, preventing access, or rendering inaccurate
to:
A. Any structure, appurtenance, or equipment which is a part of the
Town POTW; or
B. Any measuring, sampling, and/or testing device or mechanism installed
pursuant to any requirement under this chapter except as approved
by the Superintendent.
In order that the industrial user's employees be informed of
the Town requirements, a notice shall be permanently posted on appropriate
bulletin boards within the user's facility advising employees of the
Town requirements and whom to call in case of an accidental discharge
in violation of this chapter.
When so requested in advance by an industrial user, and when
taking a sample of industrial wastewater, the Town representative(s)
shall gather sufficient volume of sample so that the sample can be
split into two nearly equal volumes, each of size adequate for the
anticipated analytical protocols including any quality control (QC)
procedures. One of the portions shall be given to the representative
of the industrial user whose wastewater was sampled, and the other
portion shall be retained by the Town for its own analysis.
