Except as provided in §
196-7.3, no industrial user shall discharge or cause to be discharged any wastes either directly or indirectly into the Town treatment works without first obtaining a sewer connection permit issued by the Town.
New industrial users which desire to locate into the sewer district
sewer service area or existing industrial users which desire to commence
operations at a new facility within the sewer district shall apply
for and receive a sewer use permit prior to the commencement of operations
at the new facility. Although a sewer use application may be submitted
to the Town at any time, the Town shall issue a permit only after
the user either procures title to the property or signs a lease agreement
with the property owner.
All industrial users discharging wastes directly or indirectly to the Town treatment works prior to the effective date of these rules and regulations are hereby granted temporary authority to discharge these wastes. This temporary authority shall expire two months after enactment of this local law, unless prior to that date the discharger has filed an application for a sewer use permit pursuant to §
196-7.1, §
196-7.6 and §
196-7.8 of these rules and regulations. In such case, this temporary authority shall expire on the date the sewer use permit is issued. Any person discharging pursuant to the temporary authority provided for is hereby subject to all the provisions of these rules and regulations and such authority may be suspended or revoked according to the terms and provisions set forth in §
196-7.10 and §
196-7.11 of these rules and regulations.
If a permittee wishes to continue discharging to the Town treatment
works, he shall request a renewal of his sewer use permit no less
than three months prior to the expiration date of the permit then
in force. Failure to make a timely application may result in the suspension
or revocation of the permit. The request shall be contained in a form
prepared by the Town. Renewal of the permit shall be contingent upon
the permittee having complied with the terms and conditions of the
expired permit. Sewer use permit forms are contained in Appendix A
of this chapter.
Permits will expire as indicated in the permit (usually two years). Renewal of the permit will be dependent upon compliance with the terms and conditions included in §
196-7.4.
Any industrial user that proposes to make any changes in its
facility or processing which significantly affects either the quality
or quantity of its discharge to the Town treatment works shall apply
for an amended permit. Forms may be procured from the Town and should
be submitted at least 90 days prior to proposed changes being made.
Sewer connection permits are issued to a specific industrial
user for a specific operation and are not transferable. A permit shall
not be reassigned or transferred or sold to a new owner, new industrial
user or a new or changed operation. The permittee shall notify the
Superintendent within 14 days of any change in ownership or corporate
structure.
