It shall be unlawful for any person to discharge directly or indirectly into public sewers or into any private sewer or any combined sewer discharging into a public sewer sewage combined with industrial wastes or other wastes, industrial wastes or other wastes, the characteristics of which, at the point of discharge, exceed the concentration limits prescribed for normal sewage under Article II herein or fall within the categories prohibited under Article VI herein, except under the issuance of a permit therefor by the Superintendent and upon such terms and conditions as may be established by the Superintendent in the issuance of such a permit.
All applicants for a permit to discharge sewage combined with industrial wastes or other wastes into public sewers shall fill out and file with the Superintendent an industrial sewer connection application as a prerequisite for the consideration of such a permit. The following is a partial list of information to be furnished by the applicant.
A. 
Plans of the property showing accurately all sewers, drains and house connections.
B. 
Plans and specifications covering any work proposed to be performed under the permit.
C. 
A complete schedule of all process waters and industrial wastes produced or expected to be produced at said property or premises, including a description of the character of each waste, the daily volume and maximum rates of discharge and representative analyses.
D. 
The name and address of the person or firm who will be responsible for the performance of the work to be covered by the permit, and the name and address of the person or firm who will be responsible for operating the facilities in accordance with the terms and conditions of the permit.
Terms and conditions as may be required and imposed by the Superintendent in the issuance of the permit are as follows:
A. 
A limitation upon the volume of sewage and the rate of flow permitted from the premises.
B. 
The installation and maintenance by the permittee, at his own expense, of facilities or equipment for intermittent or continuous measurement of sewage, industrial wastes or other wastes discharged from the premises into a public sewer.
C. 
The installation and maintenance by the permittee, at his own expense, of detention tanks or other facilities or equipment for reducing the maximum rates of discharge of sewage to such a percentage of the twenty-four-hour rate as may be required by the Superintendent.
D. 
The installation and maintenance by the permittee, at his own expense, of such preliminary treatment facilities as may be required by the Superintendent.
E. 
The installation and maintenance by the permittee, at his own expense, of a suitable control or sampling manhole or manholes in any sewer discharging to a public sewer for which a permit is issued.
F. 
The installation and maintenance by the permittee, at his own expense, of grease, oil and sand interceptors, separators or traps that are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing such substances in excessive quantities or any flammable waste or other harmful ingredients.
G. 
The submission to and approval by the Superintendent of the plans for any of the facilities or equipment required to be installed and maintained by the permittee.
H. 
Such other terms and conditions as may be necessary to protect the sewer system and carry out the intent and provisions of these rules and regulations.
I. 
Such terms and conditions may also provide that, subsequent to the commencement of operation of any preliminary treatment facilities, periodic reports shall be made by the permittee to the Superintendent setting forth adequate data upon which the acceptability of the sewage, industrial wastes or other wastes, after treatment, may be determined.
J. 
Where preliminary treatment or flow-equalizing facilities are provided for any water or wastes, they shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory and effective operation by the permittee, at his expense.
K. 
A violation by the permittee of the permit shall be a cause for revocation or suspension of the permit.
Whenever sewage, industrial wastes or other wastes having characteristics other than prescribed for normal sewage as defined in Article II herein or falling within the categories of waste prohibited from public sewers pursuant to these rules and regulations is discharged into public sewers from any premises, the Superintendent shall have the right to take samples and tests as may be necessary to determine the nature and concentration of such wastes and shall have the right to reassess his determinations by taking samples and tests at any time or by periodic rechecks without notice to the person discharging such wastes.
A. 
Samples shall be taken and flow measurements made normally at the control manhole or manholes.
B. 
In the event that the requirement for a control manhole or manholes has been specifically waived, the samples shall be taken at a point or points to be selected by the Superintendent.
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 meters and other appurtenances in the building sewer as are necessary 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 these rules and regulations shall be determined in accordance with the latest edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Waste Water, published by the American Public Health Association, and shall be determined at the control manhole 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 suitable one downstream 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.
