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 inspector of any new or existing discharges to the municipal WWTP
sewer system by submitting a completed industrial chemical survey
(ICS) form and a completed industrial wastewater survey (IWS) form
to the Inspector. The Inspector may require any user discharging wastewater
into the municipal WWTP sewer system to file wastewater discharge
reports and to supplement such reports as the Inspector deems necessary.
All information shall be furnished by the user in complete cooperation
with the Inspector.
The Inspector shall, from time to time, notify
each industrial user of applicable pretreatment standards and of other
applicable requirements under Section 204(B) and Section 405 of the
Clean Water Act, and Subtitles C and D of RCRA.
No person shall cause the discharge of slugs
to the municipal WWTP sewer system. Each person discharging, into
the municipal WWTP sewer system greater than 100,000 gallons per day
or greater than 5% of the average daily flow in the municipal WWTP
sewer system, whichever is less unless otherwise waived by the Town
Board, shall install and maintain, on his property and at his expense,
a suitable storage and flow control facility to insure 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 Inspector. 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 Inspector may approve or disapprove
the adequacy of such facilities. where the Inspector, after consultation
with appropriate agencies, 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
Inspector. Construction of new or upgraded facilities shall not commence
until written approval of the Inspector has been obtained.
No unauthorized person shall intentionally or
negligently break, damage, destroy, uncover, deface, tamper with,
prevent access to or render inaccurate, or cause or permit the negligent
breaking, damaging, destroying, uncovering, defacing, tampering with,
preventing access to, or rendering inaccurate:
A. Any structure, appurtenance, or equipment which is
a part of the municipal WWTP sewer system; or
B. Any measuring, sampling, and/or testing device or
mechanism installed pursuant to any requirement under this chapter
except as approved by the Inspector.
In order that the industrial user's employees
be informed of the Town requirements, a notice shall be permanently
posted on appropriate bulletin boards within the user's facility advising
employees of the Town 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
representative(s) shall gather sufficient volume of sample so that
the sample can be split into two nearly equal volumes, each of a 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 for its own analysis.
