Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the Inspector, they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing floatable grease in excessive amounts, as specified in §
230-172B(4), 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 Inspector and shall be located so as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. In the maintaining of these interceptors, the owner 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 Inspector. Any removal and hauling of the collected materials not performed by the owners' personnel must be performed by currently licensed waste disposal firms.
Where pretreatment or flow-equalizing facilities
are provided or required for any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained
continuously in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner
at his or her expense.
When required by the Inspector, the owner of
any property serviced by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes
shall install a suitable structure, together with such necessary meters
and other appurtenances in the building sewer to facilitate observation,
sampling and measurement of the wastes. Such structure, when required,
shall be accessible and safely located and shall be constructed in
accordance with plans approved by the Inspector. The structure shall
be installed by the owner at his or her expense and shall be maintained
by him or her so as to be safe and accessible at all times.
The Inspector may require a user of sewer services
to provide information needed to determine compliance with this Part
3. These requirements may include:
A. Wastewater discharge peak rate and volume over a specified
time period.
B. Chemical analyses of wastewaters.
C. Information on raw materials, processes and products
affecting wastewater volume and quality.
D. Quantity and disposition of specific liquid, sludge,
oil, solvent or other materials important to sewer use control.
E. A plot plan of sewers on the user's property showing
sewer and pretreatment facility location.
F. Details of wastewater pretreatment facilities.
G. Details of systems to prevent and control the losses
of materials through spills to the municipal sewer.
All measurements, tests and analyses of the
characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in
this Part 3 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. Sampling methods, location,
times, durations and frequencies are to be determined on an individual
basis, subject to approval by the Inspector.
No statement contained in this article shall
be construed as preventing any special agreement or arrangement between
the Town and any industrial concern whereby an industrial waste of
unusual strength or character may be accepted by the Town for treatment.
Acceptance of such waste shall not cause the POTW to violate its SPDES
permit or the receiving water quality standards or any pretreatment
regulations promulgated by the USEPA or NYSDEC in accordance with
Section 307 of P.L. 95-217.
No user shall ever increase the use or process
water or in any way attempt to dilute a discharge as a partial or
complete substitute for adequate treatment to achieve compliance with
the limitations contained in the Federal Categorical Pretreatment
Standards or in any other pollutant specific limitation developed
by the Town or state unless authorized by state or federal regulations.
A user shall notify the Town and the operator
of the POTW immediately upon accidentally discharging wastes in violation
of this Part 3. This notification shall be followed, within 15 days
of the date of occurrence, by a detailed statement describing the
causes of the accidental discharge and the measures being taken to
prevent future occurrence. Such notification will not relieve users
of liability for any expense, loss or damage to the sewer system,
treatment plant or treatment process or for any fines imposed on the
Town under applicable state and federal regulations.
