A.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged
any stormwater, swimming pool water, surface water, roof runoff, subsurface
drainage, uncontaminated cooling water or unpolluted industrial process
waters to any sanitary or combined sewer, unless specifically authorized
by the Director of Services. All stormwater, surface water, roof runoff,
subsurface drainage, uncontaminated cooling water or unpolluted industrial
process water shall be discharged to storm sewers or to any natural
watercourse approved by the Director. All existing connections to
a sanitary or combined sewer of any stormwater, swimming pool water,
surface water, roof runoff, subsurface drainage, uncontaminated cooling
water or unpolluted industrial process waters shall be removed from
the sewer within sixty (60) days from the service of a written notice
by the Director to disconnect from the sewer.
B.
If the owner of any property receiving a notice to disconnect from the sanitary or combined sewer, pursuant to § 222-82A hereof, does not disconnect within sixty (60) days from the receipt of such notice, the village shall have the right and power and shall cause the same to be removed at the expense of the property owner and shall charge the total expense of such disconnection to the property so affected. The total expense incurred by the village to perform such work shall be paid by a special assessment upon the real estate so affected, which expense shall be a lien thereon, and which lien shall be superior and have priority to any mortgage, judgment or other lien of any nature affecting said premises. The village shall also have the power to collect, by a civil action brought in the name of the village, any expense it may incur for making such removal; but any civil action so brought shall not impair or affect the lien created under this Part 3 for such expense or be held to constitute a bar to any proceedings for the sale of lands under which said lien exists.
A.
No person shall discharge directly or indirectly in the village public sewer system or into any private sewer emptying into the village public sewer system any substances, materials, waters or wastes in such quantities or concentrations which cause or are capable of causing, either alone or by interaction with other substances, interference with the operation or performance of the village public sewer system or the joint sewage treatment plant or which pass through the joint sewage treatment plant inadequately treated. These general prohibitions and the specific prohibitions of Subsection B of this section apply to all users of the village public sewer system, whether or not the user is subject to any other local, state or federal requirements governing use of the village public sewer system.
B.
No person shall discharge the following into the village
public sewer system:
(1)
Any liquids, solids or gases which by reason of their
nature or quantity are or may be sufficient, either alone or by interaction
with other substances, to create a fire or explosion hazard in or
be injurious in any other way to the village public sewer system or
the joint sewage treatment plant. At no time shall two (2) successive
readings on an explosion hazard meter at the point of discharge into
the system (or at any point in the system) be more than five percent
(5%), nor any single reading over ten percent (10%) of the lower explosive
limit (LEL) of the meter. Prohibited materials include but are not
limited to gasoline, kerosene, naphtha, fuel oil, benzene and any
other substances which the Director of Services, the Joint Sewage
Board the DEC or the EPA has notified the user constitute a fire or
explosion hazard to the system.
(2)
Solid or viscous substances which may cause obstruction
to flow in a sewer or other interference with the operation of the
treatment plant, such as but not limited to grease, shredded garbage
with particles greater than one-half (1/2)inch in any dimension, animal
guts or tissues, paunch manure, bones, hair, hides or fleshings, entrails,
lime, stone or marble dust, metal, glass, straw, shavings, grass clippings,
rags, spent grains, spent hops, wastepapers, wood, plastics, tar,
asphalt residues, residues from refining or processing of fuel or
lubricating oil, mud or glass grinding or polishing wastes, snow,
ice, any other solid objects, materials, refuse and debris not normally
contained in sanitary waste.
(3)
Any wastewater having a pH less than six point zero
(6.0) or higher than ten point zero (10.0) or wastewater having any
other corrosive property capable of causing damage or hazard to structures,
equipment and/or personnel of the village's treatment works.
(4)
Any wastewater containing toxic pollutants in sufficient
quantity, either singly or by interaction with other pollutants, to
injure or interfere with any wastewater treatment process, to constitute
a hazard to humans or animals, to create a toxic effect in the receiving
waters of the treatment plant 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 Federal Act.
(5)
Any noxious or malodorous liquids, gases or solids
which, either singly or by interaction with other wastes, are sufficient
to create a public nuisance or hazard to life or are sufficient to
prevent entry into the sewers for their maintenance and repair.
(6)
Any substance which will cause the village to violate
any State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permit issued
to the village; or to violate the receiving water quality standards.
(7)
Any wastewater with objectionable color not removed
in the treatment process.
(8)
Any wastewater having a temperature at the point of
introduction into the village public sewer system in excess of one
hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit (150º F.) [sixty-five and five-tenths
degrees Celsius (65.5º C.)] or in such quantities that cause
the temperature of the wastewater at the joint sewage treatment plant
to exceed one hundred four degrees Fahrenheit (104º F.) [forty
degrees Celsius (40º C.)].
(9)
Any pollutants, including oxygen demanding pollutants
(BOD, etc.) released at a flow rate and/or pollutant concentration
which will cause interference with the treatment plant.
(10)
Any wastewater which causes a hazard to human
life or creates a public nuisance.
(11)
Any radioactive wastes.
(12)
Any holding tank wastes.
(13)
Any substance, materials, waters or wastes of
such nature or in such quantities or concentrations as are prohibited
by the rules and regulations of the Joint Sewage Board.
No person shall discharge substances directly
into a manhole or other opening in a public sewer other than through
an approved building sewer.
Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided
when, in the opinion of the Director of Services, they are necessary
for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing grease or oil
in excessive amounts, sand or other harmful ingredients; except that
such interceptors shall not be required for private residences. All
interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Director
of Services and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible
for cleaning and inspection. Grease and oil interceptors shall be
constructed of impervious materials capable of withstanding abrupt
and extreme changes of temperature. They shall be of substantial construction,
watertight and equipped with removable covers which, when mounted
in place, shall be gastight and watertight.
No discharger into the village sewer system
shall augment his or her use of process water or otherwise intentionally
dilute his or her discharge as a partial or complete substitute for
adequate treatment to achieve compliance with this Part 3.
