As a means of determining compliance with this
chapter, with applicable SPDES permit conditions and with applicable
state and federal law, each industrial user shall be required to notify
the Superintendent of any new or existing discharges to the POTW by
submitting a completed industrial chemical survey form and industrial
wastewater survey form to the Superintendent. The Superintendent may
require any user discharging wastewater into the POTW to file wastewater
discharge reports and to supplement such reports as the Superintendent
deems necessary. All information required by the Superintendent shall
be furnished by the user in complete cooperation with the Superintendent.
The Superintendent shall, from time to time,
notify each industrial user of applicable pretreatment standards and
of any other applicable requirements under Subsections 204(b) and
405 of the Clean Water Act and Subtitles C and D of RCRA.
All significant industrial users and other industrial
users whose industrial waste discharge has caused or may cause interference
or pass-through shall install and maintain a suitable monitoring station
on their industrial waste discharge to facilitate observation, sampling
and measurement of the wastes. The Superintendent shall require that
such monitoring station include equipment for the continuous measurement
and recording of wastewater flow rate and for the sampling of the
wastewater at intervals of time. Such station shall be accessibly
and safely located, and the industrial user shall allow immediate
access to the station by the Superintendent or his designated representatives.
When preliminary treatment, flow equalizing
facilities or monitoring stations are provided for any waters or wastes,
they shall be constructed and maintained continuously in satisfactory
and effective operation by the owner at his expense. Where an industrial
user has such treatment, equalization or monitoring facilities at
the time this chapter is enacted, the Superintendent shall have the
power to approve or disapprove of the adequacy of such facilities.
Where construction of new or upgraded facilities for treatment, equalization
or monitoring is required, plans and specifications prepared by a
licensed professional engineer for such facilities shall be submitted
to the Superintendent. No construction of such new or upgraded facilities
shall commence until approval of the Superintendent is obtained in
writing.
All measurements, tests and analyses of the
characteristics of waters and wastes required in any section of this
chapter shall be carried out in accordance with the most recent edition
of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater and
in accordance with regulations promulgated by the USEPA in 40 CFR,
Part 136, Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis
of Pollutants. Such samples shall be taken at the approved monitoring
stations, if such a station exists. If an approved monitoring station
is not required, samples shall be taken from another manhole or other
structure on the industrial sewer lateral before discharge to the
public sewer. Unless specifically requested otherwise or unless specifically
not allowed in federal regulations, samples shall be gathered as composite
samples made up of individual samples taken not less than once per
hour for a period of time equal to the duration of industrial waste
discharge during daily operations.
Each user shall provide for protection from
accidental discharges of prohibited materials or of materials in volume
or concentration exceeding limitations of this chapter or of an industrial
wastewater permit. Detailed plans and procedures to provide for this
protection shall be submitted to the Superintendent when so requested.
Users shall immediately notify the Superintendent of the discharge
of wastes in violation of this chapter or a permit resulting from
breakdown of pretreatment equipment, accidents caused by human error
or negligence or by mechanical failure or other causes, such as acts
of nature, to allow the Village to take countermeasures. The Superintendent
shall be notified within five days of such occurrence by a detailed
written statement describing the causes of the discharge and the measures
being taken to prevent future occurrences.
In order that employees of industrial users
are informed of Village requirements, a notice shall be permanently
posted on appropriate bulletin boards within the user's facility advising
employees of Village requirements and whom to call in case of an accidental
discharge in violation of this chapter.
When so requested in advance by an industrial
user and when taking a sample of industrial wastewater, Village representatives
shall gather sufficient volume of sample so that the sample can be
split into two equal volumes. One of the volumes then shall be given
to the industry whose wastewater was sampled, and the other shall
be kept by the Village for its own analysis.
