A.
While the Manager should initially rely upon the federal categorical pretreatment standards of § 158-44 of Article VII to protect wastewater facilities or receiving waters, if any wastewater which contains substances or possesses characteristics shown to have deleterious effects upon the wastewater facilities, processes, equipment or receiving waters, or constitutes a public nuisance or hazard, is discharged or is proposed for discharge to the wastewater sewers, the Manager may:
(1)
Require pretreatment to a condition acceptable for discharge to the wastewater sewers.
(2)
Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge.
(3)
Require payment to cover the added cost of handling and treating the wastewaters not covered by existing fees or charges.
(4)
Require the development of compliance schedules to meet any applicable pretreatment requirements.
(5)
Require the submission of reports necessary to assure compliance with applicable pretreatment requirements.
(6)
Carry out all inspection, surveillance and monitoring necessary to determine compliance with applicable pretreatment requirements.
(8)
Reject the wastewater if scientific evidence discloses that discharge will create unreasonable hazards or have unreasonable deleterious effects on the wastewater facilities.
B.
When considering the above alternatives, the Manager shall assure that the conditions of the NPDES permits of the wastewater treatment facilities providing treatment for wastewater discharges from the Patterson Township Municipal Authority are met. The Manager shall also take into consideration the cost-effectiveness and the economic impact of the alternatives on the discharger. If the Manager allows the pretreatment or equalization of wastewater flows, the installation of the necessary facilities shall be subject to review. The Manager shall review and recommend any appropriate changes to the program within 60 days of submittal.
C.
Where pretreatment or flow-equalizing facilities are provided or required for any wastewater, they shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory and effective operation at the expense of the owner.
