H. 
Contain radioactive wastes or isotopes of such half-life or concentration as may exceed limits established by the Administrator in compliance with applicable Village, state and federal regulations.
I. 
Any waters or wastes having a pH in excess of 12.0.
J. 
Materials which exert or cause:
(1) 
Unusual concentration of inert suspended solids, such as but not limited to fuller's earth lime residues, or dissolved solids, such as but not limited to sodium chlorine and sodium sulfate.
(2) 
Excessive coloration, such as but not limited to dye wastes and vegetable tanning solutions.
(3) 
Other properties.
(a) 
A BOD in excess of 240 milligrams per liter.
(b) 
A chlorine demand in excess of 25 milligrams per liter.
(c) 
A chemical oxygen demand in excess of 600 milligrams per liter.
(d) 
Suspended solids in excess of 300 milligrams per liter.
K. 
Waters or wastes containing substances which are not amenable to treatment or reduction by the sewage treatment process employed by the Village or are amenable to treatment only to such degree that the sewage treatment plant effluent cannot meet the requirements of agencies having jurisdiction over discharge to the receiving waters.
A. 
If any waters or wastes are discharged or are proposed to be discharged to the Village sewer system, which waters contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in § 68-32 of this article and which, in the judgment of the Village Board, may have a deleterious effect upon the sewage works, process, equipment or other receiving waters or which otherwise creates a hazard to life or constitutes a public nuisance, the Village Board may:
(1) 
Reject the waters or waste;
(2) 
Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge to the Village sewer system;
(3) 
Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge; and/or
(4) 
Require that periodic reports be filed with them at intervals not exceeding six months each, containing the following material:
(a) 
The specific action, if any taken, to achieve compliance with Section 307 of the United States Public Law No. 95-217, and any pretreatment requirements mandated by any statute, rule or regulation of New York State or any of its departments, agencies or bureaus.
(b) 
Results of a comprehensive sampling and laboratory testing program indicating the characteristics of the wastewater so discharged in terms of parameters that will adequately identify the waste. The types of testing and frequency of testing for each such person to discharging such wastewater shall be specified by the Administrator. All sampling and laboratory testing, required by the Administrator, shall be performed by each such person, and all costs and expenses incident to the testing, sampling, monitoring and reporting with respect to providing data to the Administrator, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the United States Environmental Protection Agency or any other agency having jurisdiction shall be borne by such person.
(5) 
Require payment in excess of the existing taxes or sewer charges or rents to cover the added cost of handling and treating the wastes pursuant to the provisions of § 68-24 of this chapter and any applicable law.
B. 
If the Village Board permits the pretreatment or equalization of waste flows, the design and installation of the pretreatment/equalization works and equipment shall be subject to the review and approval of the Village Board and subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances and laws.
[Amended 1-6-1999 by L.L. No. 1-1999]
Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided and maintained by the property owner when, in the opinion of the Village Board or the Administrator, such interceptors are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing grease in excessive amounts, or any flammable wastes, sand or other harmful ingredients. All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Administrator and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
Where preliminary treatment or flow-equalizing facilities are provided for any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner at his expense.
When required by the Village Board, the owner of any property serviced by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install a suitable control manhole, together with such necessary meters and other appurtenances in the building sewer to facilitate observation, sampling and measurement of the wastes. Such a manhole, when required, shall be accessibly and safely located and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the Administrator. The manhole shall be installed by the owner at his expense and shall be maintained by him so as to be safe and accessible at all times.
All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in this article shall be determined in accordance with the latest edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, published by the American Public Health Association, and shall be determined at the control manhole provided or upon suitable samples taken at said control manhole. In the event that no special manhole has been required, the control manhole shall be considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in the Village sewer system to the point at which the building sewer is connected. Sampling shall be carried out by customarily accepted methods to reflect the effect of constituents upon the sewage works and to determine the existence of hazards to life, limb and property. The particular analyses involved will determine whether a twenty-four-hour composite of all outfalls of a premise is appropriate or whether a grab sample or samples should be taken. Normally, but not always, BOD and suspended solids analyses are obtained from twenty-four-hour composites of all outfalls, whereas pH's are determined from periodic grab samples.
A. 
Any persons aggrieved by any decision or determination made by the Village Board or Administrator of the Village pursuant to § 68-33 hereof may bring a proceeding to review such determination in the manner provided by Article 78 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules.
B. 
No statement contained in this article shall be construed as preventing any special agreement or arrangement between the Village and any industrial concern whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength or character may be accepted by the Village for treatment, subject to payment thereof, by the industrial concern, in accordance with applicable provisions of law.
