As a means of determining compliance with this
chapter, with applicable SPDES permit conditions, and with applicable
state and federal law, each industrial user shall be required to notify
the Superintendent of any new or existing discharges to the POTW by
submitting a completed industrial chemical survey (ICS) form and a
completed industrial wastewater survey (IWS) form to the Superintendent.
The Superintendent may require any user discharging wastewater into
the POTW to file wastewater discharge reports and to supplement such
reports as the Superintendent deems necessary. All information shall
be furnished by the user in complete cooperation with the Superintendent.
The Superintendent shall, from time to time,
notify each industrial user of applicable pretreatment standards and
of other applicable requirements under Section 204(B) and Section
405 of the Clean Water Act, and Subtitles C and D of RCRA.
No user shall cause the discharge of slugs to
the POTW. Each user discharging into the POTW greater than 100,000
gallons per day or greater than 5% of the average daily flow in the
POTW, whichever is lesser, may be required to install and maintain,
on its property and at its expense, a suitable storage and flow control
facility to insure equalization of flow over a twenty-four-hour period.
The facility, if required, shall have a capacity for at least 50%
of the daily discharge volume and shall be equipped with alarms and
a rate of discharge controller, the regulation of which shall be directed
by the Superintendent. A wastewater discharge permit may be issued
solely for flow equalization.
Preliminary treatment and flow equalization
facilities, or monitoring stations, if provided for any wastewater,
shall be constructed and maintained continuously clean, safe, and
continuously operational by the owner at his expense. Where an industrial
user has such treatment, equalization, or monitoring facilities at
the time this chapter is enacted, the Superintendent may approve or
disapprove the adequacy of such facilities. Where the Superintendent
disapproves of such facilities and construction of new or upgraded
facilities for treatment, equalization, or monitoring are required,
plans and specifications for such facilities shall be prepared by
a licensed professional engineer and submitted to the Superintendent.
Construction of new or upgraded facilities shall not commence until
written approval of the Superintendent has been obtained.
No unauthorized person shall negligently break,
damage, destroy, uncover, deface, tamper with, prevent access, or
render inaccurate, or cause or permit the negligent breaking, damaging,
destroying, uncovering, defacing, tampering with, preventing access,
or rendering inaccurate to:
A. Any structure, appurtenance, or equipment which is
a part of the Village POTW; or
B. Any measuring, sampling, and/or testing device or
mechanism installed pursuant to any requirement under this chapter
except as approved by the Superintendent.
Sampling shall be performed so that a representative
portion of the wastewater is obtained for analysis by a laboratory
certified by NYSDOH to perform the analyses according to standards
specified in the Sewer Use Rules and Standards Manual.
Each user shall provide for protection from
accidental or slug discharges of prohibited materials or discharges
of materials in volume or concentration exceeding limitations of this
chapter or of an industrial wastewater discharge permit. Users shall
immediately notify the Superintendent of the discharge of wastes in
violation of this chapter in accordance with rules established in
the Sewer Use Rules and Standards Manual.
In order that the industrial user's employees
be informed of the Village requirements, a notice shall be permanently
posted on appropriate bulletin boards within the user's facility advising
employees of the Village requirements and whom to call in case of
an accidental discharge in violation of this chapter.
When so requested in advance by an industrial
user, and when taking a sample of industrial wastewater, the Village
representative(s) shall gather a sufficient volume of sample so that
the sample can be split into two nearly equal volumes, each of size
adequate for the anticipated analytical protocols, including any quality
control (QC) procedures. One of the portions shall be given to the
representative of the industrial user whose wastewater was sampled,
and the other portion shall be retained by the Village for its own
analysis.
