No person shall discharge or deposit or cause or allow to be
discharged or deposited into the treatment works or public sewer any
waste which causes or contains the following:
A. Explosive wastes: wastes which create a fire or explosion hazard
to the treatment works, collection system or to the operation of the
system. Prohibited materials include, but are not limited to, gasoline,
kerosene, naptha, benzene, toluene, exylene, ethers, etc. in sufficient
quantities to create a fire or explosion hazard.
B. Corrosive wastes: wastes which will cause corrosion or deterioration
of the treatment works. All wastes shall have a pH not less than 6.0
or greater than 8.0. Prohibited materials include, but are not limited
to, acids, sulfides, concentrated chloride or fluoride compounds,
etc. in sufficient quantities to cause wastes having pH values less
than 6.0 or greater than 8.0.
C. Solids or viscous wastes: wastes in amounts which would cause obstruction
to the flow in a sewer or otherwise interfere with the proper operation
of the treatment works. Prohibited materials include, but are not
limited to, uncomminuted garbage, bones, hides or fleshings, cinders,
sand, stove or marble dust, glass, etc.
D. Oils and grease:
(1)
Any industrial wastes containing floatable fats, wax, grease
or oils;
(2)
Any industrial wastes containing more than 75 mg/l of emulsified
mineral oil or grease.
E. Noxious materials: noxious or malodorous solids, liquids or gases
which, either singly or by interaction with other wastes, are capable
of creating a public nuisance or hazard to life or are or may be sufficient
to prevent entry into a sewer for its maintenance and repair.
F. Radioactive wastes: radioactive wastes or isotopes of such half-life
or concentration that they do not comply with regulations or orders
issued by the appropriate authority having control over their use
and which will or may cause damage or hazards to the treatment works
or personnel operating the system.
G. Interference: any waste, including oxygen-demanding wastes (BOD,
etc.) released in a discharge to a flow rate and/or pollutant concentration
which an industrial user knows or has reason to know will cause interference
with the Town treatment works.
H. Excessive discharge rate: industrial wastes discharged in a slug
of such volume or strength so as to cause a treatment process upset
and subsequent loss of treatment efficiency.
I. Heat: heat in amounts which would inhibit biological activity in
the Town treatment works resulting in a treatment process upset and
subsequent loss of treatment efficiency, but in no case heat in quantities
that the temperature at the POTW treatment plant influent exceeds
40° C. (104° F.).
J. Unpolluted waters: any unpolluted water, including, but not limited
to, noncontact cooling water or uncontaminated stormwater which will
increase the hydraulic load on the treatment system, except as approved
by the Town.
K. Dilution water: any water added for the purpose of diluting wastes
which would otherwise exceed applicable maximum concentration limits.
If an industrial user is suspected of dilution, the Town will be allowed
to determine equivalent mass and concentration-based limits using
categorical pretreatment standards as stated in 40 CFR 403.6(d). The
industrial user must comply with the equivalent limits calculated
by the Town in lieu of production-based limits in categorical standards.
L. Violations: wastes which cause the Town treatment plant to violate
its SPDES permit, applicable receiving water standards, permit regulating
sludge which is produced during treatment or any other permit issued
to the Town.
M. Ultrahazardous toxics: those wastes designated by EPA as sufficiently
toxic that they shall not be discharged to the sanitary sewer in any
concentrations.
N. Pass-through: pollutants which pass through the Town POTW or interfere
with the operation or performance of the POTW. For purposes of this
subsection, pass-through shall have the same meaning as defined in
40 CFR 403.3(p).
No person shall discharge or deposit or cause or allow to be
discharged or deposited into the treatment works or public sewer any
waste which violates pretreatment standards. As pretreatment standards
for toxic or other hazardous pollutants are promulgated by USEPA for
a given industrial category, all industrial users within that category
shall conform to the USEPA timetable as well as any numeric limitations
imposed by USEPA. In addition, an industrial user shall comply with
any more stringent standards as determined by the Town or other agency.
Pretreatment limitations established by the Town shall be contained
in individual industrial discharge permits. Changes and additions
shall be made as necessary from time to time by resolution of the
Town Board.
Every industrial user to whom a permit is issued shall file
a periodic discharge monitoring report at such intervals as are designated
by the Town prior to the issuance of or contained in the sewer use
permit. The discharge report may include, but at the discretion of
the Town shall not be limited to, nature of processes, volume, rates
of flow, mass discharge emission rate, production quantities, hours
of operation, concentrations of controlled pollutants or other information
which relates to the generation of industrial waste.
Laboratory analysis of industrial waste samples shall be performed
in accordance with the current edition of Standard Methods, Methods
of Chemical Analysis of Water and Waste, published by the EPA. Analysis
of those pollutants not covered by this publication shall be performed
in accordance with procedures established by the NYSDEC or other applicable
agency.
