Where a public sewer is not available, under the provisions of § 94-11, the building lateral shall be connected to a private wastewater disposal system complying with the provisions of the rules and regulations of the NYSDOH, to be enforced by the DPW Superintendent and/or WWTP Chief Operator, and/or the Clinton County Health Department.
No two separate permanent buildings, where the intended use for either is for a distinct and separate business or a dwelling place for a private family or families, shall be connected to the same individual septic tank and tile absorption field.
A completed application form containing results of percolation tests, computations, and a plot plan, including the design and cross section of the wastewater disposal system, in relation to lot lines, adjacent and on-site well or water supply and buildings, shall be submitted to the Village of Rouses Point. A permit and inspection fee of $10 shall be paid to the Village at the time the application is filed. The wastewater disposal system shall be in accordance with the NYSDOH "Standards for Waste Treatment Works," or NYSDEC "Standards for Commercial and Institutional Facilities," as appropriate.
A written construction permit shall be obtained from the Code Enforcement Officer before construction commencement. The Code Enforcement Officer, DPW Superintendent and/or WWTP Chief Operator or their designated representative shall be permitted to inspect the construction work at any stage, without prior notice.
When the liquid or liquid-borne effluent from a private wastewater disposal system enters any watercourse, ditch, storm sewer, or water supply system located in the Village of Rouses Point in such a manner, volume, and concentration so as to create a hazardous, offensive, or objectionable condition, in the opinion of the DPW Superintendent and/or WWTP Chief Operator, Clinton County Health Department, or the NYSDOH, the owner of the premises upon which such wastewater disposal system is located, upon receiving written notice from the DPW Superintendent and/or WWTP Chief Operator to do so, shall, within 90 days after receipt of such notice, repair, rebuild, or relocate such wastewater disposal system for the purpose of eliminating such hazardous, offensive, or objectionable conditions. The repair, rebuilding, or relocation of the system shall be accomplished in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NYSDOH and the Clinton County Health Department at the owner's expense.
The owner shall operate and maintain the private wastewater disposal system in a satisfactory manner at all times at the owner's expense.
Where a private wastewater disposal system utilizes a cesspool or a septic tank, septage shall be removed from the cesspool or septic tank by a licensed hauler of trucked and hauled wastes at three-year intervals or more frequently.
At such time that a public sewer becomes available to a property, a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer, in compliance with this chapter, and any cesspool, septic tank, and similar wastewater disposal facilities shall be cleaned of septage by a licensed septage hauler and backfilled with suitable material.
No statement in this article shall be construed to prevent or interfere with any additional requirements that may be deemed necessary by the DPW Superintendent and/or WWTP Chief Operator, to protect public health and public welfare.
