Stormwater, groundwater, rainwater, street drainage, subsurface
drainage or yard drainage shall not be discharged through direct or
indirect connections to a community sewer.
Unpolluted water, including but not limited to cooling water,
process water or blowdown from cooling towers or evaporative coolers,
shall not be discharged through direct or indirect connection to a
community sewer.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any radioactive
waste into a community sewer except:
A. When the person is authorized to use radioactive materials by the
State Department of Health or other governmental agency empowered
to regulate the use of radioactive materials.
B. When the waste is discharged in direct conformity with current New
York State Department of Environmental Conservation regulations and
the Atomic Energy Commission regulations and recommendations for safe
disposal.
C. When the person is in compliance with all rules and regulations of
all other applicable regulatory agencies.
Waste from garbage grinders shall not be discharged into a community
sewer except:
A. Wastes generated in preparation of food normally consumed on the
premises.
B. Where the user has obtained a permit for that specific use from the
agency, and agrees to undertake whatever self-monitoring is required
to enable the agency to equitably determine the charges and fees based
on the waste constituents and characteristics.
C. Such grinders must shred the waste to a degree that all particles
will be carried freely under normal flow conditions prevailing in
the community sewer. Garbage grinders shall not be used for grinding
plastic, paper products, inert materials or garden refuse.
No person shall discharge any substances directly into a manhole
or other opening in a community sewer other than through an approved
building sewer, unless they have been issued a permit by the agency.
If a permit is issued for such direct discharge, the user shall pay
the applicable charges and fees and shall meet such other conditions
as required by the agency.
No person shall discharge any holding tank waste into the community
sewer unless they have been issued a permit by the agency. Unless
otherwise allowed by the agency under the terms and conditions of
the permit, a separate permit must be secured for each separate discharge.
This permit will state the specific location of the discharge, the
time of day the discharge is to occur, the volume of the discharge
and the wastewater constituents and characteristics. If a permit is
granted for discharge of such waste into a community sewer, the user
shall pay the applicable charges and fees and shall meet other conditions
as required by the agency. An exception to the above is that no permit
will be required for discharge of domestic wastes from mobile holding
tanks, provided that such discharges are made into an agency-approved
facility designed to receive such wastes. Issuance of a permit to
a person does not in any manner alleviate said person from the responsibilities
stated herein.
