All users of the Village POTW will comply with all standards and requirements of the Act and standards and requirements promulgated pursuant to the Act, including but not limited to 40 CFR Parts 406 through 471. Such standards have been adopted by the Village Board in the Sewer Use Rules and Standards Manual.[1]

Editor's Note: The Sewer Use Rules and Standards Manual is included at the end of this chapter.
No user shall contribute or cause to be contributed, in any manner or fashion, directly or indirectly, any pollutant or wastewater which will interfere with the operation or performance of the POTW. These general prohibitions apply to all such users of a POTW whether or not the user is subject to national categorical pretreatment standards, or any other national, state, or local pretreatment standards or requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a user may not contribute the substances to the POTW which are itemized in the Sewer Use Rules and Standards Manual.[1]

A. 
At no time shall the influent to the POTW contain quantities in excess of those specified in the Sewer Use Rules and Standards Manual.[1]

B. 
Allowable influent load.
(1) 
The Superintendent shall determine the total allowable influent load of each substance from significant industrial users. In determining the total load of each substance that significant industrial users shall be allowed to discharge, the Superintendent shall consider:
(a) 
The quantities of each substance that are uncontrollable because they occur naturally in wastewater;
(b) 
The quantities of each substance that are anthropogenic but are nonetheless uncontrollable;
(c) 
Historical discharge trends;
(d) 
Past pollution control efforts of each significant industrial user as compared to other significant industrial dischargers of the same substance;
(e) 
Potential for growth in the POTW service area;
(f) 
Potential for more restrictive regulatory requirements to be placed on the POTW discharge or sludge disposal or sludge reuse method; and
(g) 
Treatability of the substance.
(2) 
The Superintendent shall apply a minimum 15% safety factor to be protective of the POTW.
C. 
To assure that the total loads so calculated, for each substance, are not violated, the Superintendent shall issue permits to significant industrial users limiting discharge loads.
D. 
Permits issued in accordance with this section may allow for discharges in excess of limitations set forth under § 235-63.
A. 
Limitations on wastewater strength or mass discharge contained in this chapter may be supplemented with more stringent limitations according to standards specified in the Sewer Use Rules and Standards Manual.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: The Sewer Use Rules and Standards Manual is included at the end of this chapter.
B. 
The limitations on wastewater strength or mass discharge shall be recalculated not less frequently than once every five years. The results of these calculations shall be reported to the Village Board. This chapter shall then be amended appropriately. Any issued industrial wastewater discharge permits which have limitations based directly on any limitations, which were changed, shall be revised and amended, as appropriate.
A. 
Except where expressly authorized to do so by an applicable pretreatment standard, no user shall ever increase the use of process water or, in any other way, attempt to dilute a discharge as a partial or complete substitute for adequate treatment to achieve compliance with a pretreatment standard.
B. 
Dilution flow shall be considered to be inflow.
Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the Superintendent, they are necessary for the proper handling of wastewater containing excessive amounts of grease, flammable substances, sand, or other harmful substances; except that such interceptors shall not be required for private living quarters or living units. All interceptors shall be of type and capacity approved by the Superintendent and shall be so located to be easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Such interceptors shall be inspected, cleaned, and repaired regularly, as needed, by the owner, at his expense. Specifications for grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be found in the Sewer Use Rules and Standards Manual.[1]

Editor's Note: The Sewer Use Rules and Standards Manual is included at the end of this chapter.
Solid waste grinders at or serving commercial establishments, institutions or industries shall not discharge into the Village POTW if there is a combined sewer overflow (CSO) on the sewer lines conveying the waste to the POTW treatment plant.
The Village Board may reject a user's wastewater, on recommendation of the Superintendent, when it is has been determined that the wastewater contains substances or possesses characteristics which have a deleterious effect on the POTW and its processes, or on the receiving water, or which constitute a public nuisance or hazard. See § 235-86.
