A.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged
any stormwater, surface water, groundwater, roof runoff, subsurface
drainage, cooling water or unpolluted industrial process waters to
any sanitary sewer.
B.
Stormwater and all other unpolluted drainage shall
be discharged to such sewers as are specifically designated as combined
sewers or storm sewers, or to a natural outlet approved by the Superintendent.
Industrial cooling water or unpolluted process waters may be discharged,
upon approval of the Superintendent, to a storm sewer, combined sewer
or natural outlet.
Except hereinafter provided, no person shall
discharge or cause to be discharged any of the following described
waters or wastes to any public sewers:
A.
Any liquid or vapor having a temperature higher than
150° F.
B.
Any water or waste which may contain more than 100
parts per million, by weight, of fat, oil or grease.
C.
Any gasoline, benzene, naphtha, fuel oil or other
flammable or explosive liquid, solid or gas.
D.
Any garbage that has not been properly shredded.
E.
Any ashes, cinders, sand, mud, straw, shavings, metal,
glass, rags, feathers, tar, plastics, wood, paunch manure or any other
solid or viscous substance capable of causing obstruction to the flow
in sewers or other interference with the proper operation of the sewage
works.
F.
Any waters or wastes having a pH lower than 5.5 or
higher than 9.0, or having any other corrosive property capable of
causing damage or hazard to structures, equipment and personnel of
the sewage works.
G.
Any waters or wastes containing toxic or poisonous
substance in sufficient quantity to injure or interfere with any sewage
treatment process, constitute a hazard to humans or animals or create
any hazard in the receiving waters of the sewage treatment plant.
H.
Any waters or wastes containing suspended solids of
such character and quantity that unusual attention or expense is required
to handle such materials at the sewage treatment plant.
I.
Any noxious or malodorous gas or substance capable
of creating a public nuisance.
J.
Any waters or wastes containing strong acid iron pickling
wastes or concentrated plating solutions, whether neutralized or not.
K.
Any water 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 for such materials.
L.
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.
M.
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.
N.
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 solution).
(3)
Unusual chemical oxygen demand or chlorine requirements
in such quantities as to constitute a significant load on the sewage
treatment works.
A.
Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided
when, in the opinion of the Superintendent, they are necessary for
the proper handling of liquid waste 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.
B.
Grease and oil interceptors shall be constructed of
impervious materials capable of withstanding abrupt and extreme changes
in temperature. They shall be of substantial construction, watertight
and equipped with easily removable covers which when bolted in place
shall be gastight and watertight.
C.
Where installed, all grease, oil and sand interceptors
shall be maintained by the owner, at his expense, in continuously
efficient operation at all times.
A.
The admission into the public sewers of any waters or wastes having a five-day biochemical oxygen demand greater than 300 parts per million by weight; or containing more than 350 parts per million by weight of suspending solids; or containing any quantity of substances having the characteristics described in § 98-27; or having an average daily flow greater than 2% of the average daily sewage flow of the Village, shall be subject to the review and approval of the Superintendent.
B.
Where necessary in the opinion of the Superintendent, the owner shall provide, at his expense, such preliminary treatment as may be necessary to reduce the biochemical oxygen demand to 300 parts per million and the suspended solids to 350 parts per million by weight; or reduce objectionable characteristics or constituents to within the maximum limits provided for in § 98-27 or control the quantities and rates of discharge of such waters and wastes.
C.
Plans, specifications and any other pertinent information
relating to proposed preliminary treatment facilities shall be submitted
for the approval of the Superintendent and of the Water Pollution
Control Commission of the State of New York, and no construction of
such facilities shall be commenced until the approvals are obtained
in writing.
D.
Where preliminary treatment 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 served by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes
shall install a suitable control manhole 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 §§ 98-27 and 98-29 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 for in § 98-30 or upon suitable samples taken at the 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.
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 therefore by the industrial concern.
