The purposes of this Part 2 are specifically stated as follows:
A.Â
To prohibit excessive volumes and/or inordinate rates of flow of
sewage and wastes into the Village and/or county sewerage system.
B.Â
To prohibit the contribution of sewage, industrial wastes or other
wastes of a flammable nature or which create in any way a poisonous
or hazardous environment for sewerage maintenance and operation personnel.
C.Â
To prohibit the contribution of sewage, industrial wastes or other
wastes which may cause maintenance difficulties in the lateral and
trunk sewers, force mains, pumping stations, sewage regulators and
other structures and appurtenances of the Village and/or county sewerage
system.
D.Â
To prohibit the contribution of sewage, industrial wastes or other
wastes which may create operating difficulties at the water pollution
control plants as they may be constructed, modified or improved in
the future.
E.Â
To prohibit and/or to regulate the contribution of sewage, industrial
wastes or other wastes which require for treatment at the plants greater
expenditures than are required for equal volumes of normal sewage.
F.Â
To require the treatment, before introduction into the Village sewers,
of such wastes as may otherwise impair the strength and/or durability
of the structures appurtenant to the sewer system, by direct or indirect
chemical action, or interfere with the normal treatment processes.
G.Â
To provide cooperation with the Albany County Sewer District, the

Definitions. Unless the context specifically indicates otherwise,
the meanings of terms used in Part 2 shall be as follows:
The quantity of oxygen utilized in the biochemical oxidation
of organic matter under standard laboratory procedure in five days
at 20° C. (68° F.), expressed in milligrams per liter (mg/l).
Measurement shall be as set forth in the latest edition of Standard
Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater.
The difference between the amount of chlorine added to water,
sewage or industrial wastes and the amount of residual chlorine remaining
at the end of a twenty-minute contact period at room temperature.
A sewer designed to receive and transport both surface runoff
and sewage.
The Board of Commissioners appointed by the County Legislature
to the Albany County Sewer District.
The water discharged from any system of condensation, air
conditioning, cooling, refrigeration or other sources. It shall contain
no polluting substances which would produce BOD or suspended solids
in excess of 10 parts per million by weight or toxic substances as
limited elsewhere herein.
The County of Albany.
The trunk sewers, force mains, pumping stations, sewage regulators,
water pollution control plants (sewage treatment plants) and other
appurtenant structures owned and operated by the Albany County Sewer
District.
Any county sanitary sewer district as created, altered or
modified by action of the Albany County Legislature.
The Albany County Department of Health.
The Executive Director of the Albany County Sewer District.
Food wastes from the domestic and commercial preparation,
cooking and dispensing of food and from the handling, storage and
sale of produce.
The duly appointed Commissioner of Health of Albany County.
The liquid wastes from industrial manufacturing processes,
trade or business, as distinct from sanitary sewage.
Any outlet into a watercourse, pond, ditch, lake or other
body of surface or groundwater.
Sewage, industrial wastes or other wastes which, when analyzed,
show by weight the following characteristics:
Garbage (shredded or unshredded), refuse, wood, eggshells,
coffee grounds, sawdust, shavings, bark, sand, lime, cinder, ashes
and all other discarded matter not normally present in sewage or industrial
wastes.
Any individual, firm, company, association, society, corporation
or group contributing directly or indirectly to the Village sewer
system.
The negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration
in moles per liter. It indicates the intensity of acidity and alkalinity
of the pH scale running from 0.0 to 14.0. A pH value of 7.0, the midpoint
of the scale, represents neutrality. Values above 7.0 represent alkaline
conditions, and those below 7.0 represent acid conditions.
Garbage that has been shredded to such a degree that all
particles will be carried freely under the flow conditions normally
prevailing in the public sewer to which it is discharged, with no
particle having a dimension greater than 1/2 inch in any dimension.
A sewer controlled by a public body.
A natural watercourse or body of water into which treated
or untreated sewage is discharged.
Sewage discharging from the sanitary conveniences of dwellings,
including apartment houses and hotels, office buildings, factories
or institutions, and free from stormwater, surface water, industrial
wastes and other wastes.
A sewer which carries sewage and to which storm-, surface
and groundwaters are not intentionally admitted.
A combination of the water-carried wastes from residences,
business buildings, institutions and industrial establishments, together
with such ground-, surface and stormwater as may be inadvertently
present. The admixture of "sewage," as above defined, with industrial
wastes or other wastes also shall be considered sewage within the
meaning of this definition.
The demand payment for the use of the county sewerage system
for handling and sewage, industrial wastes or other wastes accepted
for admission thereto in which the characteristics thereof exceed
the maximum values of such characteristics in normal sewage.
A pipe or conduit for carrying sewage.
Any discharge of water, sewage or industrial waste which,
in concentration of any given constituent or in quantity of flow,
exceeds for any period of duration longer than 15 minutes more than
five times the average twenty-four-hour concentration or flow during
normal operation.
A sewer which carries storm- and surface waters and drainage
but excludes sewage and industrial wastes other than cooling waters
and other unpolluted waters.
Solids that either float on the surface of or are in suspension
in water, sewage or other liquids and which are removable by flotation,
skimming and sedimentation. Measurement shall be as set forth in the
latest edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and
Wastewater.
