This chapter replaces in its entirety Ordinance Nos. 460, 492,
507, 524 and 551.
The terms as used in this chapter hereinafter shall have the
following definitions:
APPLICABLE RULES
The most current version of "Rates, Rules and Regulations
for Johnstown Regional Sewage Regarding the Use of the Sewage Collection
or Treatment Systems" which have been formally adopted by the Board
of the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Johnstown, and notice
of which adoption has been provided to each municipality. The applicable
rules shall include all exhibits to the rules.
APPROVAL AUTHORITY
The United State Environmental Protection Agency or other
governmental agency authorized to review and approve the JRS' industrial
pretreatment or other source control program.
APPROVED PRETREATMENT PROGRAM
A program for pretreatment of industrial waste approved by
the Environment Protection Agency or the Department of Environmental
Resources in accordance with the Federal Water Pollution Control Act,
62 Stat. 1155, 33 U.S.C. § 1251 et seq.
JRS
Johnstown Regional Sewage, an enterprise operation of the
Redevelopment Authority of the City of Johnstown, and operating as
and fulfilling the functions of PWTA, Public Wastewater Treatment
Authority, and POTW, publicly owned treatment works, as referred to
in applicable state and federal laws and regulations.
LOCAL LIMITS
Limitation on concentrations and absolute volumes of contaminants
introduced into the sewage collection system.
MUNICIPALITY
The Township of Stonycreek, Cambria County, Pennsylvania.
All wastewater entering the sanitary sewage system shall be
pretreated to typical domestic levels unless otherwise stated in writing
by the JRS by way of significant industrial user permit or other permit.
Typical domestic levels shall be documented in a set of local limits
for pollutants, capable of effecting efficient operation of the sewage
treatment plant, in the "Rates, Rules, and Regulations," Appendix
A, in a format as attached hereto. Typical domestic levels
and specific pollutant limitations may be changed periodically due
to changing NPDES requirements, changes in overall characteristics
of wastewater throughout the system, required reevaluations of the
local limits analysis, or other reasons. At such times that it becomes
necessary, modified local limits will be established and formally
adopted by the JRS. Such revisions shall only be implemented after
the modifications have been reviewed and determined to be acceptable
by the approved authority (US EPA). Revised pretreatment program local
discharge limits will be issued as Appendix A to the applicable rules,
and issued to all municipalities.
The JRS is hereby authorized to carry out all inspection, surveillance,
and monitoring procedures necessary to determine, independent of information
supplied by industrial users, compliance or noncompliance with applicable
pretreatment standards and requirements by industrial users. Representatives
of the JRS shall be authorized to enter any premises of any industrial
user, in which a discharge source or treatment system is located or
in which records are required to be kept under 40 CFR 403.12(o), to
assure compliance with pretreatment standards.
