[Amended 5-29-1984]
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged the following
described substances, materials, waters or wastes if it appears likely,
in the opinion of the Superintendent, that such wastes can harm either
the sewers, sewage treatment process or equipment, can have an adverse
effect on the receiving stream or can otherwise endanger life, limb,
public property or constitute a nuisance. In forming his opinion as
to the acceptability of these wastes, the Superintendent will give
consideration to such factors as the quantities of subject wastes
in relation to flows and velocities in the sewers, materials of construction
of the sewers, nature of the sewage treatment process, capacity of
the sewage treatment plant, degree of treatability of wastes in the
sewage treatment plant and other pertinent factors. The substances
are:
A.
Any water or waste containing fats, wax, grease or oils, whether
emulsified or not, in excess of 100 milligrams per liter or containing
substances which may solidify or become viscous at temperatures between
32° F. and 150° F. (0° C. and 65° C.).
B.
Any garbage that has not been properly shredded. The installation
and operation of any garbage grinder shall be subject to the review
and approval of the Superintendent.
C.
Any waters or wastes containing strong-acid iron-pickling wastes
or concentrated plating solutions, whether neutralized or not.
D.
Any waters or wastes containing iron, chromium, copper, zinc and
similar objectionable or toxic substances or wastes exerting an excessive
chlorine requirement to such degree that any such material received
in the composite sewage at the sewage treatment works exceeds the
limits established by the Superintendent.
E.
Any waters or wastes containing phenols or other taste- or odor-producing
substances in such concentrations exceeding limits which may be established
by the Superintendent as necessary, after treatment of the composite
sewage, to meet the requirements of the state, federal or other public
agencies of jurisdiction for such discharge to the receiving waters.
F.
Any radioactive wastes or isotopes of such half-life or concentration
as may exceed limits established by the Superintendent in compliance
with applicable state or federal regulations.
G.
Any waters or wastes having a pH in excess of 9.5.
H.
Any materials which exert or cause:
(1)
Unusual concentrations of inert suspended solids (such as but not
limited to fuller's earth, lime slurries and lime residues) or
of dissolved solids (such as but not limited to sodium chloride and
sodium sulfate).
(2)
Excessive discoloration, such as but not limited to dye wastes and
vegetable tanning solutions.
(3)
Unusual BOD, chemical oxygen demand or chlorine requirements in such
quantities as to constitute a significant load on the sewage treatment
works.
(4)
Unusual volume of flow or concentration of wastes constituting slugs,
as defined herein.
(5)
Waters or wastes containing substances which are not amenable to
treatment or reduction by the sewage treatment processes employed
or are amenable to treatment only to such degree that the sewage treatment
plant effluent cannot meet the requirements of other 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 public sewers, which waters contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in § 248-13 and which, in the judgment of the Superintendent, may have a deleterious effect upon the sewage works, processes, equipment or receiving waters or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the Superintendent may:
(1)
Reject the wastes.
(2)
Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge to
the public sewers.
(3)
Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge.
(4)
Require payment to cover the added cost of handling and treating
the wastes not covered by existing taxes or sewer charges.
B.
If the Superintendent permits the pretreatment or equalization of
waste flows, the design and installation of the plants and equipment
shall be subject to the review and approval of the Superintendent
and subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances
and laws.
Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in
the opinion of the Superintendent, they are necessary for the proper
handling of liquid wastes containing grease in excessive amounts or
any flammable wastes, sand or other harmful ingredients, except that
such interceptors shall not be required for private living quarters
or dwelling units. All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity
approved by the Superintendent 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 Superintendent, 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 manhole, when required,
shall be accessibly and safely located and shall be constructed in
accordance with plans approved by the Superintendent. 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 public sewer 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 premises 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 pHs are determined from periodic grab samples.)
A.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged into any public
sewer, either directly or indirectly, any overflow or effluent from
a septic tank, cesspool, subsurface drainage trench, bed or filter
or other receptacle storing organic waste.
