No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any of the
following described waters or wastes to any public sewers:
A.
Any gasoline, benzene, naphtha, fuel oil, or other flammable or explosive
liquid, solid, or gas.
B.
Any waters or wastes containing toxic or poisonous solids, liquids,
or gases in sufficient quantity, either singly or by interaction with
other wastes, to injure or interfere with any sewage treatment process,
constitute a hazard to humans or animals, create a public nuisance,
or create any hazard in the receiving waters of the sewage treatment
plant.
C.
Any waters or wastes having a pH lower than 5.5 or having any other
corrosive property capable of causing damage or hazard to structures,
equipment, and personnel of the sewage works.
D.
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 sewage works, such as, but not limited
to, ashes, cinders, sand, mud, straw, shavings, metal, glass, rags,
feathers, tar, plastics, work, unground garbage, whole blood, paunch
manure, hair and fleshings, entrails and paper dishes, cups, milk
containers, etc., either whole or ground by garbage grinders.
No industrial user may discharge sewage into any public sewer
until the Village has adopted an industrial cost recovery system which:
A.
Meets the requirements of Section 204(b)(1)(B) of the Federal Water
Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 and applicable federal regulations;
and
B.
Has been approved by the agency in accordance with the council, of
any grant made to the Village by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency or by the State of Illinois for the construction of any part
of the sewer system or sewage treatment works of the Village.
A.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged the following
described substances, materials, waters, or wastes if it appears likely,
in the opinion of the Superintendent, that such wastes can harm either
the sewers, sewage treatment process, or equipment; have an adverse
effect on the receiving stream; or can otherwise endanger life, limb,
public property, or constitute a nuisance. In forming his opinion
as to the acceptability of these wastes, the Superintendent will give
consideration to such factors as the quantities of subject wastes
in relation to flows and velocities in the sewers, materials of construction
of the sewers, nature of the sewage treatment plant, degree of treatability
of wastes in the sewage treatment plant, and maximum limits established
by regulatory agencies.
B.
The substances prohibited are:
(1)
Any liquid or vapor having a temperature higher than 150° F.
(65° C.).
(2)
Any waters or wastes containing toxic or poisonous materials or oils,
whether emulsified or not, in excess of 100 milligrams per liter or
containing substances which may solidify or become viscous at temperatures
between 32° F. and 150° F. (0° C. and 65° C.).
(3)
Any garbage that has not been properly shredded. The installation
and operation of any garbage grinder equipped with a motor of three-fourths
horsepower (0.76 horsepower metric) or greater shall be subject to
the review and approval of the Superintendent.
(4)
Any waters or wastes containing strong acid, iron pickling wastes,
or concentrated plating solutions, whether neutralized or not.
(5)
Any waters or wastes containing iron, chromium, copper, zinc, or
similar objectionable or toxic substances; or wastes exerting an excessive
chlorine requirement, to such degree that any such material received
in the composite sewage at the sewage treatment works exceeds the
limits established by the Superintendent for such materials.
(6)
Any waters or wastes containing phenols or other taste- or odor-producing
substances, in such concentrations exceeding limits which may be established
by the Superintendent as necessary, after treatment of the composite
sewage, to meet the requirements of the state, federal, or other public
agencies of jurisdiction for such discharge to the receiving waters.
(7)
Any radioactive wastes or isotopes of such half-life or concentration
as may exceed limits established by the Superintendent in compliance
with applicable state or federal regulations.
(8)
Any waters or wastes having a pH in excess of 9.5.
(9)
Any mercury or any of its compounds in excess of 0.005 milligram
per liter as Hg at any time except as permitted by the Superintendent
in compliance with applicable state and federal regulations.
(10)
Materials which exert or cause:
(a)
Unusual concentrations of inert suspended solids (such as, but
not limited to, Fullers earth, lime slurries, and lime residues) or
of dissolved solids (such as, but not limited to, sodium chloride
and sodium sulfate).
(b)
Excessive discoloration (such as, but not limited to, dye wastes
and vegetable tanning solutions).
(c)
Unusual BOD, chemical oxygen demand, or chlorine requirements
in such quantities as to constitute a significant load on the sewage
treatment works.
(11)
Waters or wastes containing substances which are not amenable
to treatment or reduction by the sewage treatment processes employed,
or are amenable to treatment only to such degree that the sewage treatment
plant effluent cannot meet the requirements of agencies having jurisdiction
over discharge to the receiving waters.
A.
If any waters or wastes are discharged or are proposed to be discharged to the public sewers, which waters contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in § 222-31, and/or which are in violation of the standards for pretreatment provided in 40 CFR Part 128, Pretreatment Standards, and any amendments thereto, and which in the judgment of the Superintendent may have a deleterious effect upon the sewage works, processes, equipment, or receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the Superintendent may:
B.
If the Superintendent permits the pretreatment or equalization of
waste flows, the design and installation of the plants and equipment
shall be subject to the review and approval of the Superintendent
and subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances,
and laws.
Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in
the opinion of the Superintendent, they are necessary for the proper
handling of liquid wastes containing grease in excessive amounts,
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 Superintendent and shall be located so as to be readily
and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
Where preliminary treatment or flow-equalizing facilities are
provided, they shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory and
effective operation by the owner at his expense.
Each industry shall be required to install a control manhole
and, when required by the Superintendent, the owner of any property
serviced by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install
a suitable control manhole together with such necessary meters and
other appurtenances 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 Superintendent. 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.
A.
The owner of any property serviced by a building sewer carrying industrial
wastes shall provide laboratory measurements, tests, and analyses
of waters and wastes to illustrate compliance with this chapter and
any special conditions for discharge established by the Village or
regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over the discharge.
B.
The number, type, and frequency of laboratory analyses to be performed
by the owner shall be as stipulated by the Village, but no less than
once per year the industry must supply a complete analysis of the
constituents of the wastewater discharge to assure that compliance
with the federal, state, and local standards is being met. The owner
shall report the results of measurements and laboratory analyses to
the Village at such times and in such manner as prescribed by the
Village. The owner shall bear the expense of all measurements, analyses,
and reporting required by the Village.
C.
At such times as deemed necessary, the Village reserves the right
to take measurements and samples for analysis by an outside laboratory
service.
A.
All measurements, tests, and analyses of the characteristics of waters
and wastes to which reference is made in this chapter 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, and shall be determined at the control manhole
provided, or upon suitable samples taken at the control manhole.
B.
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.
Sampling shall be carried out by customarily accepted methods to reflect
the effect of constituents upon the sewage works and to determine
the existence of hazards to life, limb, and property.
C.
The particular analyses involved will determine whether a twenty-four-hour
composite of all outfalls of a premises is appropriate or whether
a grab sample or samples should be taken. Normally, but not always,
BOD and suspended solid analyses are obtained from twenty-four-hour
composites of all outfalls, whereas pHs are determined from periodic
grab samples.
No statement contained in §§ 222-27 through 222-37 shall be construed as preventing any special agreement or arrangement between the Village and any industrial concern whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength or character may be accepted by the Village for treatment, subject to payment therefor, in accordance with this chapter, by the industrial concern, provided such payments are in accordance with federal and state guidelines for a user charge system and industrial cost recovery system.
