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 to 471.
A.
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.
B.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
a user may not contribute the following substances to the POTW:
(1)
Any solids, liquids or gases which, by reason of their
nature or quantity, are or may be sufficient, either alone or by interaction
with other substances, to cause a fire or an explosion or be injurious,
in any way, to the POTW, or to the operation of the POTW. At no time
shall both of two successive readings on a flame type explosion hazard
meter, at the point of discharge into the system (or at any other
point in the system), be more than 25% nor any single reading be more
than 40% of the lower explosive limit (LEL) of the meter. Unless explicitly
allowable by a written permit, prohibited materials include, but are
not limited to, gasoline, kerosene, naphtha, benzene, toluene, xylene,
ethers, alcohols, carbides, hydrides and sulfides, and any other substance
which the Village, the state or the EPA has determined to be a fire
hazard, or hazard to the POTW.
(2)
Solid or viscous substances which may cause obstruction
to the flow in a sewer or otherwise interfere with the operation of
the wastewater treatment facilities. Unless explicitly allowable by
a written permit, such substances include, but are not limited to,
grease, garbage with particles greater than 1/2 inch in any dimension,
animal guts or tissues, paunch manure, bones, hair, hides or fleshings,
entrails, whole blood, feathers, ashes, cinders, sand, spent lime,
stone or marble dust, metal, glass, straw, shavings, grass clippings,
rags, spent grains, spent hops, wastepaper, wood, plastics, gas, tar
asphalt residues, residues from refining or processing fuel or lubricating
oil, mud, or glass or stone grinding or polishing wastes.
(3)
Any wastewater having a pH less than 5.0 or greater
than 10.0, unless the POTW was specifically designed to manage such
wastewater, or wastewater having any other corrosive property capable
of causing damage or hazard to structures, equipment and/or POTW personnel.
(4)
Any wastewater containing toxic pollutants in sufficient
quantity, either singly or by interaction with other pollutants (including
heat), to injure or interfere with any wastewater treatment process,
constitute a hazard to humans or animals, create a toxic effect in
the receiving waters of the POTW, or to exceed the limitation set
forth in a categorical pretreatment standard. A toxic pollutant shall
include, but not be limited to, any pollutant identified pursuant
to Section 307(A) of the Act.
(5)
Any noxious or malodorous solids, liquids or gases
which either singly or by interaction with other wastes are sufficient
to create a public nuisance or a hazard to life or are sufficient
to prevent entry into the sewers for their maintenance or repair.
(6)
Oils and grease. Any commercial, institutional or
industrial wastes containing fats, waxes, grease or oils which become
visible solids when the wastes are cooled to 10° C. (50° F.);
any petroleum oil, nonbiodegradable cutting oil or products of mineral
oil origin, in excess of 100 milligrams per liter or in amounts that
will cause interference or pass-through.
(7)
Any wastewater which will cause interference or pass-through.
(8)
Any wastewater with objectionable color which is not
removed in the treatment process, such as, but not limited to, dye
wastes, and vegetable tanning solutions.
(9)
Any solid, liquid, vapor or gas having a temperature
higher than 65° C. (150° F.); however, such materials shall
not cause the POTW treatment plant influent temperature to be greater
than 40° C. (104° F.). The Superintendent reserves the right,
in certain instances, to prohibit or limit the discharge of wastes
whose maximum temperatures are lower than 65° C.
(10)
Unusual flow rate or concentration of wastes,
constituting slugs, except by industrial wastewater permit.
(11)
Any wastewater containing any radioactive wastes
except as approved by the Superintendent, and in compliance with applicable
state and federal regulations.
(12)
Any wastewater which causes a hazard to human
life or which creates a public nuisance, either by itself or in combination,
in any way, with other wastes.
(13)
Any wastewater with a closed cup flashpoint
of less than 140° F. or 60° C., using the test methods specified
in 40 CFR Part 261.21.
(14)
Any pollutants which result in the presence
of toxic gases, vapors or fumes within the POTW in a quantity that
may cause acute worker health and safety problems.
No person shall discharge, directly or indirectly, into the POTW wastewater containing any of the following substances in concentrations exceeding the limits on either a daily or an instantaneous basis as may be established by the Village of Brewster Board of Trustees from time to time by resolution, except by permit or as provided for in § 193-87. Concentration limits are applicable to wastewater effluents at the point just prior to discharge into the POTW ("end of pipe" concentrations).

B.
The Superintendent shall determine the total allowable
influent load of each substance from significant industrial users.
(1)
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.
A.
Limitations on wastewater strength or mass discharge
contained in this Part 2 may be supplemented with more stringent limitations
when, in the opinion of the Superintendent:
(1)
The limitations in this Part 2 are not sufficient
to protect the POTW;
(2)
The limitations in this Part 2 are not sufficient
to enable the POTW treatment plant to comply with applicable water
quality standards or the effluent limitations specified in the POTW's
SPDES permit;
(3)
The POTW sludge will be rendered unacceptable for
disposal or reuse as the Village desires, as a result of discharge
of wastewaters at the above-prescribed concentration limitations;
(4)
Municipal employees or the public will be endangered;
or
(5)
Air pollution and/or groundwater pollution will be
caused.
B.
The limitations on wastewater strength or mass discharge
shall be recalculated not less frequently than once every two years.
The results of these calculations shall be reported to the Village
of Brewster Board of Trustees. This Part 2 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.
The Superintendent shall have the authority
to copy any record related to wastewater discharges to the POTW.
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. 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.
Solid waste grinders at or serving commercial
establishments, institutions or industries shall not discharge into
the Village POTW.
The Village of Brewster Board of Trustees may reject a user's wastewater, on recommendation of the Superintendent, when it is 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 § 193-121.
