As a means of determining compliance with this chapter, with
applicable SPDES permit conditions, and with applicable state and
federal law, each industrial user shall be required to notify the
Inspector of any new or existing discharges to the municipal sewer
system by submitting a completed industrial chemical survey (ICS)
form and a completed industrial wastewater survey (IWS) form to the
Inspector. The Inspector shall require any user discharging wastewater
into the municipal sewer system to file wastewater discharge reports
and to supplement such reports as the Inspector deems necessary. All
information shall be furnished by the user in complete cooperation
with the Inspector.
The Inspector shall, from time to time, notify each industrial
user of applicable pretreatment standards, and of other applicable
requirements under Section 204(b) and Section 405 of the Clean Water
Act, and Subtitles C and D of RCRA.
No significant industrial user or discharger of abnormal sewage
and dischargers of sewage of unusual strength or character shall discharge
wastewater to the municipal sewer system.
The Inspector may require and issue wastewater discharge permits
to other industrial users of the municipal sewer system.
There shall be no discharge of any wastewater to a storm sewer
without an appropriate SPDES permit.
No person shall cause the discharge of slugs to the municipal
sewer system. Each person discharging into the municipal sewer system
greater than 10,000 gallons per day or greater than 5% of the average
daily flow in the municipal sewer system, whichever is less unless
otherwise waived by the Town Board, shall install and maintain, on
his property and at his expense, a suitable storage and flow control
facility to ensure equalization of flow over a twenty-four-hour period.
The facility shall have a capacity for at least 50% of the daily discharge
volume and shall be equipped with alarms and a rate of discharge controller,
the regulation of which shall be directed by the Inspector. A wastewater
discharge permit may be issued solely for flow equalization.
Preliminary treatment and flow-equalization facilities, or monitoring
stations, if provided for any wastewater, shall be constructed and
maintained continuously clean, safe, and continuously operational
by the owner at his expense. Where an industrial user has such treatment,
equalization, or monitoring facilities at the time this chapter is
enacted, the Inspector may approve or disapprove the adequacy of such
facilities. Where the Inspector, after consultation with appropriate
agencies, disapproves of such facilities and construction of new or
upgraded facilities for treatment, equalization, or monitoring are
required, plans and specifications for such facilities shall be prepared
by a licensed professional engineer and submitted to the Inspector.
Construction of new or upgraded facilities shall not commence until
written approval of the Inspector has been obtained.
No person shall intentionally or negligently break, damage,
destroy, uncover, deface, tamper with, prevent access to, or render
inaccurate, or cause or permit the negligent breaking, damaging, destroying,
uncovering, defacing, tampering with, preventing access to, or rendering
inaccurate:
A. Any structure, appurtenance, or equipment which is a part of the
municipal sewer system; or
B. Any measuring, sampling, and/or testing device or mechanism installed
pursuant to any requirement under this chapter except as approved
by the Inspector.
In order that the industrial user's employees be informed
of the Town requirements, a notice shall be permanently posted on
appropriate bulletin boards within the user's facility advising
employees of the Town requirements and whom to call in case of an
accidental discharge in violation of this chapter.
When so requested in advance by an industrial user, and when
taking a sample of industrial wastewater, the sewer district representative(s)
shall gather sufficient volume of sample so that the sample can be
split into two nearly equal volumes, each of size adequate for the
anticipated analytical protocols, including any quality control (QC)
procedures. One of the volumes shall be given to the industry whose
wastewater was sampled, and the other shall be retained by the sewer
district for its own analysis.
