A. 
If any wastewater which contains substances or particular characteristics shown (or known) to have deleterious effect upon the wastewater treatment system, or which contains any prohibited substance as described in § 135-22, which contains any concentration in excess of those described in § 135-23, is discharged or proposed to be discharged into the Town wastewater treatment system or to any system tributary thereto, the person or owner so discharging shall:
(1) 
Demonstrate that in-plant modifications will reduce or eliminate the discharge of such substances in conformity with this chapter;
(2) 
Provide such pretreatment, including storage facilities, or flow equalization necessary to reduce or eliminate the objectionable characteristics or substances so that the discharge will conform to the pretreatment standards and will not violate this chapter;
(3) 
Provide control over the quantities and rates of discharges;
(4) 
Provide payment to cover added cost of handling and treatment of the wastewaters not covered by existing fees or charges;
(5) 
Provide compliance schedule to meet any applicable pretreatment requirements;
(6) 
Provide reports necessary to assure compliance with applicable pretreatment requirements.
B. 
The Superintendent shall:
(1) 
Carry out all inspection, surveillance, and monitoring necessary to determine compliance with applicable pretreatment requirements;
(2) 
Obtain remedies for noncompliance by any user. Such remedies may include injunctive relief, the civil penalties specified in Article XIII of this chapter, or appropriate criminal penalties; and/or
(3) 
Take such other remedial action as may be deemed to be desirable or necessary to achieve the purpose of this chapter.
A. 
Where pretreatment, equalization or holding (storage for scheduled discharge of wastewater flows prior to discharge into any part of the wastewater treatment system) is required, the user shall submit engineering reports, construction plans, construction specifications and other pertinent data or information relating to such pretreatment or flow control facilities as prepared by a professional engineer licensed to practice in New York State to the Superintendent and appropriate state or federal agency for review and approval.
B. 
No construction of such facilities shall be commenced until approval from the Superintendent is obtained in writing and until necessary approval is received from any state or federal agency having approval power.
C. 
Review and approval of the proposed facilities and operating procedures shall not relieve the industrial user from the responsibility to modify his or her facility if it does not achieve the required performance.
D. 
Any subsequent alterations or additions to such pretreatment or flow control facilities shall not be made without due notice to and prior approval of the Superintendent.
If pretreatment or control of wastewater flow is required, such facilities shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory and effective operation at the expense of the owner and in compliance with this chapter. Monitoring of the pretreatment facilities discharge shall be in compliance with Article VII.
Interceptors (commonly called "traps") for the treatment of grease, oil and solids shall be provided and maintained by the user when the existing or proposed discharge exceeds the limits specified in: § 135-22A (flammable), § 135-22D (solids) and § 135-22E (grease or oil), or when deemed necessary by the Superintendent to protect the operation and efficiency of the wastewater treatment system. Establishments for which such interceptors shall be required include but are not limited to: commercial kitchens such as for restaurants and banquet facilities; gas stations; and motor vehicle maintenance garages. Grease and oil traps shall be constructed of impervious materials capable of withstanding abrupt and extreme changes in temperature. They shall be of substantial construction, watertight and equipped with easily removable covers which, when secured in place, shall be gastight and watertight. Interceptors shall not be required for the discharge of normal domestic wastes from residential users. All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Superintendent and the burden of proof of adequacy shall be the responsibility of the owner. All interceptors shall be located so as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
Each industrial user shall provide protection from accidental discharge of prohibited materials or other wastes regulated by this chapter. Facilities to prevent accidental discharge of prohibited materials shall be provided and maintained at the owner's own cost and expense. Detailed plans showing facilities and operating procedures to provide this protection shall be submitted to the Superintendent for review and shall be approved before construction of such facilities. Review and approval of such plans and operating procedures shall not relieve the industrial user from the responsibility to modify this facility as necessary to meet the requirements of this chapter.
If, for any reason, a facility does not comply with or will be unable to comply with any prohibition or limitations in this chapter, the facility responsible for such discharge shall immediately notify the Superintendent so that corrective action may be taken to protect the wastewater treatment system. In addition, a written report addressed to the Town detailing the date, time and cause of accidental discharge, the quantity and characteristics of the discharge and corrective action taken to prevent future discharges, shall be filed by the responsible industrial user within five days of the occurrence of the noncomplying discharge.
The Superintendent shall have the right to inspect and/or test any building sewer and building drain and appurtenances or private sewers that discharge wastewater directly or indirectly to the Town's wastewater treatment system. This includes the authority to inspect basements for illegal connections such as sump pumps. In the case of basement inspection, the Superintendent shall give prior notice of no less than 12 hours nor more than 48 hours if requested by the owner. If it is found that such sewers or drains are used or maintained in such a way as to cause any discharge that violates this chapter, the Superintendent will initiate enforcement actions in accordance with Article XIII.
All costs incurred by the Town in carrying out the control actions specified in this article shall be the responsibility of the actual or proposed user. These costs shall include but not be limited to such items as: laboratory tests and consultant services. The Town will invoice the owner for its costs.
Nothing in this article shall be construed as preventing any special agreement or arrangement, not inconsistent with the Act and rules and regulations of this chapter, between the Town and any user of the wastewater treatment system whereby wastewater of unusual strength or character is accepted into the system and specially treated, subject to any additional payments or user charges as may be applicable. This approval shall be in accordance with Article V, § 135-23. No special agreements shall circumvent federal categorical pretreatment standards.
