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 (ICS) form and a
completed Industrial Wastewater Survey (IWS) 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 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 other applicable requirements under § 204(B) and
§ 405 of the Clean Water Act, and Subtitles C and D of RCRA.
No person shall cause the discharge of slugs
to the POTW. Each person discharging into the POTW greater than 100,000
gallons per day or greater than 5% of the average daily flow in the
POTW, whichever is lesser, shall install and maintain, on his property
and at his expense, a suitable storage and flow control facility to
ensure equalization of flow over a twenty-four-hour period. The facility
shall have a capacity for at least 50% of the daily discharge volume
and shall be equipped with alarms and a rate of discharge controller,
the regulation of which shall be directed by the Superintendent. A
wastewater discharge permit may be issued solely for flow equalization.
Preliminary treatment and flow equalization
facilities or monitoring stations, if provided for any wastewater,
shall be constructed and maintained continuously clean, safe and continuously
operational 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 may approve or disapprove
the adequacy of such facilities. Where the Superintendent disapproves
of such facilities and construction of new or upgraded facilities
for treatment, equalization or monitoring are required, plans and
specifications for such facilities shall be prepared by a licensed
professional engineer and submitted to the Superintendent. Construction
of new or upgraded facilities shall not commence until written approval
of the Superintendent has been obtained.
No unauthorized person shall negligently break,
damage, destroy, uncover, deface, tamper with, prevent access or render
inaccurate or cause or permit the negligent breaking, damaging, destroying,
uncovering, defacing, tampering with, preventing access or rendering
inaccurate to:
A. Any structure, appurtenance or equipment which is
a part of the Town of Ontario POTW; or
B. Any measuring, sampling and/or testing device or mechanism
installed pursuant to any requirement under this chapter except as
approved by the Superintendent.
Sampling shall be performed so that a representative portion of the wastewater is obtained for analysis. 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 Standard Methods, by a laboratory certified by NYSDOH to perform the analyses. Such samples shall be taken at the approved monitoring stations described in Article
X, §
114-70, if such a station exists. If an approved monitoring station is not required, then samples shall be taken from another location on the industrial sewer lateral before discharge to the public sewer. Unless specifically requested otherwise or unless specifically not allowed in federal regulation, samples shall be gathered as flow proportioned (where feasible) composite samples made up of individual samples taken not less than once per hour for the period of time equal to the duration of industrial wastewater discharge during daily operations (including any cleanup shift).
In order that the industrial user's employees
be informed of the Town of Ontario requirements, a notice shall be
permanently posted on appropriate bulletin boards within the user's
facility advising employees of the Town of Ontario 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, the Town of
Ontario representative(s) shall gather sufficient volume of sample
so that the sample can be split into two nearly equal volumes, each
of size adequate for the anticipated analytical protocols, including
any quality control (QC) procedures. One of the volumes shall be given
to the industry whose wastewater was sampled and the other shall be
retained by the Town of Ontario for its own analysis.
