and requirements promulgated pursuant to the Act, including but not

108-96. Concentration limits are applicable to wastewater effluents at the point just prior to discharge into the POTW ("end of pipe" concentrations).

Except for chromium (hex), all concentrations
listed for metallic substances shall be as "total metal," which shall
be defined as the value measured in a sample acidified to a pH value
of two or less, without prior filtration.

|
Average daily concentrations will be as determined
on a composite sample taken from the user's daily discharge over a
typical operational and/or production day.
|
(3)
|
Maximum instantaneous concentrations will be
as determined on a grab sample taken from the user's discharge at
any time during the daily operational and/or production period.

The Superintendent shall have the authority
to copy any record related to wastewater discharges to the POTW.
Except where expressly authorized to do so by
an applicable pretreatment standard, no user shall ever increase the
use of process water or, in any other way, attempt to dilute a discharge
as a partial or complete substitute for adequate treatment to achieve
compliance with a pretreatment standard. Dilution flow shall be considered
to be inflow.
Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be
provided, when, in the opinion of the Superintendent, they are necessary
for the proper handling of wastewater containing excessive amounts
of grease, flammable substances, sand, or other harmful substances;
except that such interceptors shall not be required for private living
quarters or living units. All interceptors shall be of type and capacity
approved by the Superintendent and shall be so located to be easily
accessible for cleaning and inspection. Such interceptors shall be
readily accessible and open to inspection by the Superintendent at
any time. Such interceptors shall be inspected, cleaned, and repaired
regularly, as needed, by the owner, at his expense.
Solid waste grinders at or serving commercial
establishments, institutions or industries shall not discharge into
the Village of Pulaski POTW.
The Village of Pulaski Board may reject a user's wastewater, on recommendation of the Superintendent, when it has been determined that the wastewater contains substances or possesses characteristics which have a deleterious effect on the POTW and its processes, or on the receiving water, or which constitute a public nuisance or hazard. See Article
X.
The Village of Pulaski does not have the authority
to issue permits for the discharge of any wastewater to a storm sewer.
This authority rests with the NYSDEC.
No statement contained in this article shall
be construed as preventing any special agreement between the Village
and any industrial concern whereby an industrial waste of unusual
strength or character may be accepted by the Village POTW for treatment,
subject to payment thereof by the industrial concern.
