No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any stormwater,
surface water, groundwater, roof runoff, subsurface drainage, uncontaminated
cooling water or unpolluted industrial process waters to any sanitary
sewer.
[Amended 6-24-1985 by L.L. No. 5, 1985]
Stormwater and all other unpolluted drainage shall be discharged
to such sewers as are specifically designated as combined sewers or
storm sewers, or to a natural outlet approved by the Superintendent.
Industrial cooling water or unpolluted process waters may be discharged,
on approval of the Superintendent, to a storm sewer, combined sewer
or natural outlet. Notwithstanding the foregoing, users desiring to
discharge cooling water to the waters of the state must apply for
and obtain a SPDES permit. Similarly, such discharges are subject
to state and federal regulations which are not superseded by this
chapter.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any of the
following described waters or wastes to any public sewers:
A.
Any gasoline, benzene, naphtha, fuel oil or other flammable or explosive
liquid, solid or gas.
B.
Any waters or wastes containing toxic or poisonous solids, liquids
or gases in sufficient quantity, either singly or by interaction with
other wastes, to injure or interfere with any sewage treatment process,
constitute a hazard to humans or animals, create a public nuisance
or creating any hazard in the receiving waters of the sewage treatment
plant, including:

[Amended 3-10-1969, effective 4-1-1969]
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged the following
described substances, materials, waters or wastes if it appears likely,
in the opinion of the Superintendent, that such wastes can harm either
the sewers, sewage treatment process or equipment, have an adverse
effect on the receiving stream or can otherwise endanger life, limb,
public property or constitute a nuisance. In forming his opinion as
to the acceptability of these wastes, the Superintendent will give
consideration to such factors as the quantities of subject wastes
in relation to flows and velocities in the sewers, materials of construction
of the sewers, nature of the sewage treatment process, capacity of
the sewage treatment plant, degree of treatability of wastes in the
sewage treatment plant and other pertinent factors. The substances
prohibited are:
A.
Any liquid or vapor having a temperature higher than 104° F.
[40° C.]
[Amended 6-24-1985 by L.L. No. 5, 1985]
B.
Any water or waste containing fats, wax, grease or oils, whether
emulsified or not, in excess of 100 milligrams per liter or containing
substances which may solidify or become viscous at temperatures between
32 and 150° F., zero and (0° and 65° C.).
C.
Any garbage that has not been properly shredded. The installation
and operation of any garbage grinder equipped with a motor of 3/4
horsepower [0.76 horsepower metric] or greater shall be subject to
the review and approval of the Superintendent.
D.
Any waters or wastes containing strong acid iron pickling wastes,
or concentrated plating solutions, whether neutralized or not.
E.
Any waters or wastes containing iron, chromium, copper, zinc and
similar objectionable or toxic substances, or wastes exerting an excessive
chlorine requirement, to such degree that any such material received
in the composite sewage at the sewage treatment works exceeds the
limits established by the Superintendent for such materials.
F.
Any waters or wastes containing phenols or other taste- or odor-producing
substances, in such concentrations exceeding limits which may be established
by the Superintendent as necessary, after treatment of the composite
sewage, to meet the requirements of the state, federal or other public
agencies of jurisdiction for such discharge to the receiving waters.
G.
Any radioactive wastes or isotopes of such half-life or concentration
as may exceed limits established by the Superintendent in compliance
with applicable state or federal regulations.
H.
Any waters or wastes having a pH in excess of 9.5.
I.
Materials which exert or cause:
(1)
Unusual concentrations of inert suspended solids, such as but not
limited to Fullers earth, lime slurries and lime residues, or of dissolved
solids, such as but not limited to sodium chloride and sodium sulfate.
(2)
Excessive discoloration, such as but not limited to dye wastes and
vegetable tanning solutions.
(3)
Unusual BOD, chemical oxygen demand or chlorine requirements in such
quantities as to constitute a significant load on the sewage treatment
works.
(4)
Unusual volume of flow or concentration of wastes constituting "slugs"
as defined herein.
J.
Waters or wastes containing substances which are not amenable to
treatment or reduction by the sewage treatment processes emloyed,
or are amenable to treatment only to such degree that the sewage treatment
plant effluent cannot meet the requirements of other agencies having
jurisdiction over discharge to the receiving waters.
[Added 6-24-1985 by L.L. No. 5, 1985]
Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in
the opinion of the Superintendent, they are necessary for the proper
handling of liquid wastes containing floatable grease in excessive
amounts, as specified in Section 4(c) of the Regulation of Sewer Use
Manual of Practice Number 3 of the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation, or any flammable wastes, sand or other harmful ingredients,
except that such interceptors shall not be required for private living
quarters or dwelling units. All interceptors shall be of a type and
capacity approved by the Superintendent, and shall be located as to
be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. In the
maintaining of these interceptors, the owner(s) shall be responsible
for the proper removal and disposal by appropriate means of the captured
material and shall maintain records of the dates and means of disposal
which are subject to review by the Superintendent. Any removal and
hauling of the collected materials not performed by the owner(s)'
personnel must be performed by currently licensed waste disposal firms.
A.
If any waters or wastes are discharged or are proposed to be discharged
to the public sewers which, in the judgment of the Superintendent,
may have a deleterious effect upon the sewage works, processes, equipment
or receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to life or
constitute a public nuisance, the Superintendent may:
B.
If the Superintendent permits the pretreatment or equalization of
waste flows, the design and installation of the plants and equipment
shall be subject to the review and approval of the Superintendent,
and subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances
and laws, and such facilities shall be continuously maintained in
satisfactory and effective operation by and at the owner's expense.
When required by the Superintendent, the owner of any property
serviced by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install
a suitable control manhole, together with such necessary meters and
other appurtenances in the building sewer to facilitate observation,
sampling and measurement of the wastes.
All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics
of waters and wastes to which reference is made in this ordinance
shall be determined in accordance with the latest edition of Standard
Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, published by
the American Public Health Association, and shall be determined at
the control manhole provided or upon suitable samples taken at said
control manhole.
[Amended 6-24-1985 by L.L. No. 5, 1985]
No statement contained in this Article shall be construed as
preventing any special agreement or arrangement between the village
and any industrial concern whereby an industrial waste of unusual
strength or character may be accepted by the village for treatment,
subject to payment therefor, by the industrial concern. No special
agreements shall circumvent federal categorical pretreatment standards.
