[Amended 5-18-2015 by L.L. No. 4-2015]
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any water
that is not sewage such as stormwater, groundwater, roof runoff, subsurface
drainage, or cooling water to any sewer, pipe or conveyance that leads
to the Town POTW. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Superintendent
may designate stormwater runoff in certain areas which may be discharged
to the sanitary sewer by permission of the Town Board.
[Amended 5-18-2015 by L.L. No. 4-2015]
Stormwater other than that exempted under §
230-24, 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 and other regulatory agencies. Unpolluted industrial cooling water or process waters may be discharged, on approval of the Superintendent, to a storm sewer, combined sewer, or natural outlet. (NOTE: If required by applicable law, a SPDES permit must be obtained prior to any such discharge.)
[Amended 5-18-2015 by L.L. No. 4-2015]
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any of the
following described waters or wastes to the POTW:
A. Any gasoline, benzene, naptha, fuel oil, or other flammable or explosive
liquid, solid, or gas which by reason of their nature or quantity
are, or may be, sufficient either alone or by interaction with other
substances to cause fire or explosion or be injurious in any other
way to the POTW or to the operation of the POTW.
B. Any waters containing toxic or poisonous solids, liquids, or gases
in sufficient quantity, either singly or by interaction with other
wastes, to injure or interfere with any waste treatment process, constitute
a hazard to humans or animals, create a public nuisance, or create
any hazard in the receiving waters of the wastewater treatment plant.
C. Any waters or wastes having a pH lower than 5.5 or higher than 8.0,
or having any other acidic or corrosive property or capable of causing
damage or hazard such as, but not limited to, ashes, bones, cinders,
sand, mud, straw, shavings, metal, glass, rags, cloths and other fibrous
materials, feathers, tar, plastics, wood, unground garbage, whole
blood, paunch manure, hair and fleshings, entrails and paper dishes,
cups, milk containers, etc., either whole or ground by garbage grinders.
[Amended 5-18-2015 by L.L. No. 4-2015]
Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided by the owner when, in the opinion of the Superintendent, they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing floatable grease in excessive amounts, as specified in §
230-27B(3), or any flammable wastes, sand, or other harmful ingredients; except that such interceptors shall not be required for residential 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. In the maintaining of these interceptors, the owner shall be responsible for the proper removal and disposal by appropriate means of the captured material and shall maintain records of the dates, and means of disposal which are subject to review by the Superintendent. Any removal and hauling of the collected materials not performed by the owner's personnel must be performed by currently licensed waste disposal firms.
Where pretreatment or flow-equalizing facilities
are provided or required for any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained
continuously in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner
at his or her expense.
When required by the Superintendent, the owner
of any property serviced by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes
shall install a suitable structure together with such necessary meters
and other appurtenances in the building sewer to facilitate observation,
sampling, and measurement of the wastes. Such structure, when required,
shall be accessibly and safely located and shall be constructed in
accordance with plans approved by the Superintendent. The structure
shall be installed by the owner at his or her expense and shall be
maintained by him or her as to be safe and accessible at all times.
The Superintendent may require a user of sewer
services to provide information needed to determine compliance with
this Part 1. These requirements may include:
A. Wastewaters discharge peak rate and volume over a
specified time period.
B. Chemical analyses of wastewaters.
C. Information on raw materials, processes, and products
affecting wastewater volume and quality.
D. Quantity and disposition of specific liquid, sludge,
oil, solvent or other materials important to sewer use control.
E. A plot plan of sewers of the user's property showing
sewer and pretreatment facility location.
F. Details of wastewater pretreatment facilities.
G. Details and plans of operation of wastewater pretreatment
facilities.
H. Details of systems to prevent and control the losses
of materials through spills to the municipal sewer.
All measurements, tests and analyses of the
characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in
this Part 1 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. Sampling methods, locations,
times, durations and frequencies are to be determined on an individual
basis subject to approval by the Superintendent.
Special agreements and arrangements between
the municipality and any persons or agencies may be established when
in the opinion of the municipality, unusual or extraordinary circumstances
compel special terms and conditions. Acceptance of such waste shall
not cause the POTW to violate its SPDES permit or the receiving water
quality standards or any pretreatment regulations promulgated by USEPA
or NYSDEC in accordance with Section 307 of the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act (P.L. 95-217, also known as the "Clean Water Act").
