Upon the promulgation of the Federal Categorical Pretreatment Standards for a particular industrial subcategory, the federal standard, if more stringent than limitations imposed under this division for sources in that subcategory, shall immediately supersede the limitations imposed under this division for that particular industrial subcategory. The IPP Administrator shall notify all affected users of the more stringent limits and applicable reporting requirements. The national categorical pretreatment standards, located in 40 CFR Chapter 1, Subchapter N, Parts 405-471, are hereby incorporated into this article by reference.
(8)
Any pollutant which creates a fire or explosion in the City's
sewage treatment plant, including, but not limited to, waste streams
with a closed-cup flashpoint of less than 140° F. or 60° C.
using the test method specified in 40 CFR 261.21.
(9)
Except where expressly authorized to do so by an applicable
pretreatment standard or requirement, no industrial user shall ever
increase the use of process water or in any other way attempt to dilute
a discharge as a partial or complete substitute for adequate treatment
to achieve compliance with a pretreatment standard or requirement.
(a)
Information regarding the City of Olean's Fats, Oil, and Grease
(FOG) Management Program can be obtained in the Office of the Department
of Public Works or can be found online at http://www.cityofolean.org/dpw/pdf/CeaseTheGrease.pdf.
(b)
Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided when the limits in Section 27-187 for those substances are exceeded or when, in the opinion of the IPP Administrator, they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing grease in excessive amounts, or any flammable wastes, sand, and 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 IPP Administrator, and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
(c)
Grease and oil interceptors shall be constructed of impervious materials
capable of withstanding abrupt and extreme changes in temperatures.
They shall be of substantial construction, watertight, and equipped
with easily removable covers which, when bolted in place, shall be
gastight and watertight.
(d)
Where installed, all grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be maintained
by the owner, at his expense, in continuously efficient operation
at all times and shall be readily accessible and open to inspection
by the Plumbing and Building Inspector at any time.
(a)
The admission into the public sewers of any waters or wastes having
(1) a five-day biochemical oxygen demand concentration greater than
250 mg/l or (2) containing more than 250 mg/l of suspended solids,
shall be subject to review by the IPP Administrator.
(b)
Where necessary, in the opinion of the IPP Administrator, the owner shall provide, at his expense, such preliminary treatment as may be necessary to (1) reduce the chlorine requirements to 20 mg/l or (2) reduce objectionable characteristics or constituents to within the maximum limits provided for in Section 27-187, or (3) control the quantities and rates of discharge of such waters or wastes. Plans, specifications, and any other pertinent information relating to proposed preliminary treatment facilities shall be submitted for the approval of the IPP Administrator, and no construction of such facilities shall be commenced until such approvals are obtained in writing. Failure to comply with one or more of the remedial procedures as required by the IPP Administrator will constitute a major violation of this section.
(c)
Where preliminary treatment or flow-equalizing facilities are provided
for any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained continuously in
satisfactory and effective operation by the owner at his expense.
All categorical and noncategorical industrial users shall notify
the City immediately of all discharges that could cause problems to
the City of Olean POTW treatment plant. These discharges shall include,
but not be limited to:
(1)
Slug loadings.
(2)
Pollutants which create a fire or explosion hazard in the POTW.
(3)
Pollutants which will cause corrosive structural damage to the
POTW, but in no case discharges with pH lower than 6.0.
(4)
Solid or viscous pollutants in amounts which will cause obstruction
to the flow in the POTW resulting in interference.
(5)
Any pollutant, including oxygen demanding pollutants (BOD, etc.),
released in a discharge at a flow rate and/or pollutant concentration
which will cause interference with the POTW.
(6)
Heat in amounts which will inhibit biological activity in the
POTW resulting in interference, but in no case heat in such quantities
that the temperature at the POTW treatment plant exceeds 40° C.
(104° F.).
If sampling by an industrial user indicates a violation, the
user must notify the IPP Administrator within 24 hours of becoming
aware of the violation. The user must also resample and submit results
of this resampling to the IPP Administrator within 30 days. [Reference
40 CFR 403.12(g).]
All industrial users must notify in writing the IPP Administrator,
the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and the
United States Environmental Protection Agency of any discharge that
would be considered a hazardous waste if disposed of in a different
manner. [Reference 40 CFR 403.12(p).]
When required by the IPP Administrator, the owner of any property
served by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install
a suitable control manhole in the building sewer to facilitate observation,
sampling and measurement of the wastes. Such manhole, when required,
shall be accessibly and safely located and shall be constructed in
accordance with plans approved by the IPP Administrator. The manhole
shall be installed by the owner at his expense, and shall be maintained
by him so as to be safe and accessible at all times.
All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in Sections 27-187 and 27-189 shall be determined in accordance with analytical methods as published in 40 CFR Part 136, titled "Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants," upon suitable samples taken at the control manhole provided for in Section 27-190. In the event that no special manhole has been required, the control manhole shall be considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in the public sewer to the point at which the building sewer is connected.
No special agreement or arrangement between the City and any
industrial concern for treating an industrial waste of unusual strength
or character shall be allowed if the special agreement results in
a violation of applicable pretreatment standards or requirements.
(a)
All of the preceding standards (noncategorical waste standards) in
this division are to apply at the point where the industrial wastes
are discharged into the POTW and any chemical or mechanical corrective
treatment required must be accomplished to practical completion before
the wastes reach that point. The laboratory methods used in the examination
of all industrial wastes shall be those set forth in the latest edition
of analytical methods as published in 40 CFR 136 titled "Guidelines
Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants." The
frequency and duration of the sampling of any industrial waste shall
be determined by the IPP Administrator based upon the contaminants
with respect to its harmfulness to the treatment facility or receiving
stream but no less frequently than semiannually. The IPP Administrator
shall have authority to require monitoring in excess of 24 hours for
the purpose of measuring flow. Variations from this schedule would
be at the discretion of the IPP Administrator. A report outlining
the nature and concentration of pollutants shall be submitted to the
IPP Administrator no more than 30 days after any required sampling
is completed. In the case of an industry which is or would be subject
to a categorical pretreatment standard, a baseline monitoring report
shall be submitted within 180 days after the effective date of the
standard. In the case of an industry that is not yet discharging categorical
waste to the POTW and is subject to a categorical pretreatment standard,
a baseline monitoring report will be submitted to the IPP Administrator
at least 90 days prior to the first discharge. This information shall
at least include identifying information, permits, description of
operations, flow measurements, pollutant measurements certification
and a compliance schedule if necessary. Baseline monitoring reports
must contain a statement reviewed by an authorized representative
of the IU and certified by a qualified professional about the user's
compliance with applicable categorical standards. A compliance schedule
shall be established by the IPP Administrator based upon the extent
of noncompliance. A series of status reports to the City will be outlined
and target dates established for stepwise compliance.
(b)
Where such industrial waste stream monitoring has been required by
the IPP Administrator to demonstrate compliance with applicable pretreatment
standards or other standards, the industry shall submit within 90
days following the date for final compliance (or, if a new source,
following the commencement of its discharge), to the IPP Administrator,
a report that contains flow and pollutant measurements, a certification
of whether pretreatment standards are being consistent, and, if not,
a description of needed additional O&M or pretreatment. Reports
on compliance with categorical standards (ninety-day compliance reports)
must contain a statement reviewed by an authorized representative
of the IU and certified by a qualified professional about the user's
compliance with applicable categorical standards and whether any pretreatment
or operation and maintenance (O&M) is required to attain compliance.
If the industry is not meeting the standards, the report shall outline
additional pretreatment or operations necessary to bring the industry
into compliance. A compliance schedule shall be established by the
IPP Administrator based upon the extent of noncompliance. A series
of status reports to the City will be outlined and target dates established
for stepwise compliance. Prior to any changes or construction, a review
by the IPP Administrator and written permit must be granted before
any construction is to begin. Baseline monitoring reports, ninety-day
compliance reports, and periodic compliance reports from categorical
industrial users must be signed by an appropriate official of the
categorical industrial users and shall contain such certification
statement as provided in 40 CFR 403.6(a)(2)(ii) attesting to the integrity
of the analytical data submitted.
(c)
Information and data on industry obtained from reports, questionnaires,
permit applications, permits and monitoring programs and from inspections
shall be available to the public or other governmental agency inspections
without restriction unless the industry specifically requests and
is able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the City that the release
of such information would divulge information, processes or methods
of production entitled to protection as trade secrets of the industry.
When requested by the person furnishing a report, the portions of
a report which might disclose trade secrets or secret processes shall
not be made available for inspection by the public but shall be made
available upon written request to governmental agencies for uses related
to this article, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit, State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES)
permit, and/or the pretreatment programs; provided, however, that
such portions of a report shall be available for use by the state
or any state agency in judicial review or enforcement proceedings
involving the person furnishing the report. Wastewater constituents
and characteristics will not be recognized as confidential information.
Status reports must be submitted within 14 days of compliance milestones
and upon the final compliance date.
