No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any of the
following described liquids or solid wastes to any sanitary sewer
or to the wastewater treatment facility:
A. Any stormwater, surface water, groundwater, roof runoff or surface
drainage or any other connections from inflow sources to the sanitary
sewer. Such waters may be discharged to a storm sewer or other waterway
with permission of the Village Board.
B. Any gasoline, benzene, naphtha, fuel oil, lubricating oil or other
flammable or explosive liquid, solid or gas or other substances which
by themselves or by interaction with other substances may cause fire
or explosion hazards, or in any other way be injurious to persons,
property or the operation of the wastewater facilities.
C. Any waters or waste containing toxic or poisonous substances in sufficient
quantity, either singly or by interaction with other wastes, which
will injure or interfere with any wastewater treatment process, constitute
a hazard to humans or animals, create a public nuisance in the receiving
waters of the wastewater treatment plant or interfere with the disposal
of sludge.
D. Any waters or wastes having a pH lower than five or having any other
corrosive property capable of causing damage or hazard to structures,
equipment and personnel of the wastewater facility.
E. Any waters or wastes having a pH in excess of 10.
F. Solid or viscous substances in quantities or of such size capable
of causing obstruction to the flow in sewers or other interference
with the proper operation of the wastewater facilities, such as, but
not limited to, ashes, cinders, sand, rocks, mud, straw, shavings,
metal, glass, rags, feathers, tar, plastics, wood, unground garbage,
whole blood, paunch manure, hair or fleshings, entrails, and paper
dishes, cups, milk containers, etc., either whole or ground by garbage
grinders.
G. Any discharge into the sanitary sewerage system that is in violation
of the requirements of the WPDES permit and the modifications thereof.
H. Wastewater having a temperature higher than 150° F. or cause
the wastewater at the treatment facility to exceed 104° F.
I. Any water or wastes which may contain more than 100 parts per million
by weight of oils, fat or grease.
J. Any garbage that has not been properly shredded. Garbage grinders
may be connected to sanitary sewers from homes, hotels, institutions,
restaurants, hospitals, catering establishments, or similar places
where garbage originates from the preparation of food in kitchens
for the purpose of consumption on the premises or when served by caterers.
K. Any waters or waste containing iron, chromium, copper, zinc, mercury
and similar objectionable or toxic substances to such degree that
any such material received in the composite wastewater at the wastewater
treatment facility exceeds the limits established by the Village Board
for such materials.
L. Any waters or wastes containing odor-producing substances exceeding
limits which may be established by the Village Board.
M. Any radioactive wastes or isotopes of such half-life or concentration
as may exceed limits established by the Village Board in compliance
with applicable state or federal regulations.
N. Quantities of flow, concentrations, or both, which constitute a slug
load as defined herein.
O. Incompatible pollutants containing substances which are not amenable
to treatment or reduction by the wastewater treatment processes employed
or are amenable to treatment only to such degree that the wastewater
treatment facility effluent cannot meet the requirements of other
agencies having jurisdiction over discharge to the receiving waters.
P. Any water or wastes which, by interaction with other water or wastes
in the public sewer system, release obnoxious gases, form suspended
solids which interfere with the collection system, or create a condition
deleterious to structures and treatment processes.
Q. Materials which exert or cause:
(1) Unusually high BOD5, chemical oxygen demand
or chlorine requirements, such as, but not limited to, whey in such
quantities as to constitute a significant load on the wastewater treatment
facility.
(2) Unusual flow or concentrated wastes constituting a slug load as defined
herein.
(3) Unusual concentrations of inert suspended solids (such as, but not
limited to, fuller's earth, lime slurries, and lime residues)
or of dissolved solids (such as, but not limited to, sodium sulfate).
(4) Excessive discoloration (such as, but not limited to, dye wastes
and vegetable tanning solutions).
No person or licensed disposer shall dispose of septage into
any storage area or sewer manhole located within the Village without
written approval of the Director.
No statement contained in this article shall be construed as
prohibiting any special agreement between the Village and any person
whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength or character may be
admitted to the wastewater treatment facility, either before or after
pretreatment, provided that there is no impairment of the functioning
of the wastewater treatment facility by reason of the admission of
such wastes and no extra costs are incurred by the Village without
recompense by the person, provided that all rates and provisions set
forth herein are complied with.
It shall be unlawful to discharge to any natural waterway within
the Village or in any area under the jurisdiction of the Village any
sewage or other polluted waters without first obtaining a Wisconsin
pollutant discharge elimination system (WPDES) permit.
