Users shall provide wastewater treatment as necessary to comply with this chapter and shall achieve compliance with all Categorical Pretreatment Standards, local limits, and the prohibitions set out in §§ 355-59 and 355-60 within the time limitations specified by USEPA, the state, or the Village, whichever is more stringent. Any facilities necessary for compliance shall be provided, operated, and maintained at the user's expense. Detailed plans describing such facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the Superintendent for review, and shall be acceptable to the Superintendent before such facilities are constructed. The review of such plans and operating procedures shall in no way relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying such facilities as necessary to produce a discharge acceptable to the Village under the provisions of this chapter.
A.
Whenever deemed necessary, the Superintendent may require users to
restrict their discharge during peak flow periods, designate that
certain wastewater be discharged only into specific sewers, relocate
and/or consolidate points of discharge, separate sewage waste streams
from industrial waste streams, and such other conditions as may be
necessary to protect the POTW and determine the user's compliance
with the requirements of this chapter.
B.
The Superintendent may require any person discharging into the POTW
to install and maintain, on their property and at their expense, a
suitable storage and flow control facility to ensure equalization
of flow. An individual wastewater discharge permit may be issued solely
for flow equalization.
C.
Grease and oil interceptors shall be provided at any restaurant facility,
car wash facility, and auto service facility. Grease, oil and sand
interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the Superintendent,
they are necessary for the proper handling of wastewater containing
excessive amounts of grease, oil, flammable substances, sand or other
harmful substances; except that such interceptors shall not be required
for residential users. All interception units shall be of a type and
capacity approved by the Superintendent, and shall be so located to
be easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Such interceptors
shall be inspected and cleaned by the user at their expense, on an
annual basis or more often as deemed necessary by the Superintendent.
Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be repaired as required for
proper operation. Proof of cleaning, inspection and/or maintenance
(either via a receipt from a hauler for larger interceptors or certification
from the Owner of the property for smaller units) shall be provided
in writing to the Superintendent. Failure to provide proof to the
Superintendent shall be considered a violation of this chapter. Proof
shall be provided no later than December 31st of each year.
D.
Solid waste grinders at or serving commercial establishments, institutions
or industries shall not discharge into the POTW.
E.
Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be
required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection
meter.
F.
The Superintendent may require the use of grinder pumps or separate
grinders for the waste stream on large developments if deemed necessary.
A.
Each user shall provide for protection from accidental or slug discharges
of prohibited materials or discharges of materials in volume or concentration
exceeding limitations of this chapter or of an industrial wastewater
discharge permit. Users shall immediately notify the Superintendent
of the discharge of wastes in violation of this chapter or any permit.
Such discharges may result from:
B.
Where possible, such immediate notification shall allow the Superintendent
to initiate appropriate countermeasure action at the POTW. The user
shall prepare a detailed written statement following any accidental
or slug discharge which describes the causes of the discharge and
the measures being taken to prevent future occurrences within five
days of the occurrence, and the Superintendent shall receive a copy
of such report no later than the fifth calendar day following the
occurrence. Analytical results and their interpretation may be appended
to the report at a date not exceeding 45 calendar days after the occurrence.
C.
When required by the Superintendent, detailed plans and procedures
to prevent accidental or slug discharges shall be submitted to the
Superintendent for approval. These plans and procedures shall be called
a "spill prevention, control and countermeasure (SPCC) plan." The
plan shall address, at a minimum, the following:
(1)
Description of discharge practices, including nonroutine batch discharges.
(2)
Description of stored chemicals.
(3)
Procedures for immediately notifying the POTW of any accidental or
slug discharge. Such notification must also be given for any discharge
which would violate any provision of the permit and any National Prohibitive
Discharge Standard.
(4)
Procedures to prevent adverse impact from any accidental or slug
discharge. Such procedures include, but are not limited to, inspection
and maintenance of storage areas, handling and transfer of materials,
loading and unloading operations, control of plant site runoff, worker
training, building of containment structures or equipment, measures
for containing toxic organic pollutants (including solvents), and/or
measures and equipment for emergency response.
In order that the Industrial user's employees be informed
of the Village's requirements, a copy of the individual wastewater
discharge permit for that facility shall be permanently posted on
appropriate bulletin boards within the user's facility advising
employees of the Village's requirements.
The Village Board may reject a user's wastewater, on recommendation of the Superintendent, when it is has been determined that the wastewater contains substances or possesses characteristics which have a deleterious effect on the POTW and its processes, or on the receiving water, or which constitute a public nuisance or hazard. See § 355-101.
