A.
No user shall contribute or cause to contribute, directly or indirectly,
any toxic substance which will interfere with the operation or performance
of any existing septic system or cause groundwater, surface water
or soil contamination.
B.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a user may only
discharge domestic wastes to a septic system. The discharge of industrial
wastes to a septic system shall be prohibited unless such waste is
pretreated so that it is consistent with the characteristics of domestic
waste, as defined in this chapter, prior to the septic system.
All users of septic systems in the Septic Maintenance District
shall be prohibited from using garbage disposals. If an existing user
has a garbage disposal installed on or before the date of adoption
of Local Law No. 1 of 2019, then the user shall have 90 days from
the date of adoption of Local Law No. 1 of 2019 to remove said garbage
disposal.
The Inspector shall have the authority to copy any record related
to wastewater discharges to a septic system.
A.
Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided at the owner's
expense when, in the opinion of the Inspector, they are necessary
for the proper handling of wastewater containing excessive amounts
of grease, flammable substances, sand, or other harmful substances;
except that such interceptors shall not be required for private living
quarters or living units. Grease traps shall be required for all food
service and restaurant establishments.
B.
All interceptors shall be of a design consistent with any standards
established by NYSDEC or NYSDOH and shall be of a type and capacity
approved by the Inspector and shall be so located to be easily accessible
for cleaning and inspection. Such interceptors shall be inspected,
cleaned, and repaired regularly, as needed, by the owner, at his expense.
