[Ord. 627A, 2/12/1985, Art. VI, § 1]
All discharges of stormwater, surface water, groundwater, roof runoff, subsurface drainage or other waters not intended to be treated in the treatment facility shall be made to storm sewers or natural outlets designed for such discharges, except as authorized under Subpart E, §
18-147. Any connection, drain or arrangement which will permit any such waters to enter any other wastewater sewer shall be deemed to be a violation of this section and this Part.
[Ord. 627A, 2/12/1985, Art. VI, § 2]
1. No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged to any of the
Borough's wastewater facilities any substances, materials, waters
or wastes in such quantities or concentrations which will:
A. 40 CFR 403.5.
(1)
Create a fire or explosion hazard including, but not limited
to, gasoline, benzene, naphtha, fuel oil or other flammable or explosive
liquid, solid or gas.
(2)
Cause corrosive damage or hazard to structures, equipment or
personnel of the wastewater facilities, but in no case discharges
with the following properties:
(a)
40 CFR 403.5(b)(2).
(i) Having a pH lower than five or greater than 10
for more than 10% of the time in a twenty-four hour period.
(ii) Having a pH lower than 3.5 or greater than 12
for any period exceeding 15 minutes.
|
These requirements may be modified for facilities designed to
accommodate greater ranges.
|
(3)
Cause obstruction to the flow in sewers, or other interference
with the operation of wastewater facilities due to accumulation of
solid or viscous materials.
(4)
Constitute a rate of discharge or substantial deviation from
normal rates of discharge ("sludge discharge") sufficient to cause
interference in the operation and performance of the wastewater facilities.
(5)
Contain heat in amounts which will accelerate the biodegradation
of wastes, causing the formation of excessive amounts of hydrogen
sulfide in the wastewater sewer or inhibit biological activity in
the wastewater treatment facilities, but in no case shall the discharge
of heat cause the temperature in the Borough wastewater sewer to exceed
58° C. (150° F.) or the temperature of the influent to the
treatment facilities to exceed 50° C. (104° F.) unless the
facilities can accommodate such heat.
(6)
Contain more than 100 milligrams per liter of nonbiodegradable
oils of mineral or petroleum origin.
(7)
Contain floatable oils, fats or grease.
(8)
Contain noxious, malodorous gas or substance which is present
in quantities that create a public nuisance or a hazard to life.
(9)
Contain radioactive wastes in harmful quantities as defined
by applicable state and federal regulations.
(10)
Contain any garbage that has not been properly shredded.
(11)
Contain any odor or color producing substances exceeding concentration
limits which may be established by the Manger for purposes of meeting
the Borough's NPDES permit.
2. If, in establishing discharge restrictions, discharge limits or pretreatment
standards pursuant to this Part, the Manager establishes concentration
limits to be met by an industrial user, the Manager in lieu of concentration
limits, shall establish mass limits of comparable stringency for an
individual industrial user at the request of such user.
[Ord. 627A, 2/12/1985, Art. VI, § 3]
1. No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged to any wastewater
facilities, wastewaters containing substances subject to an applicable
Federal Categorical Pretreatment Standard promulgated by EPA in excess
of the quantity prescribed in such applicable pretreatment standard
except as otherwise provided in this section. Compliance with such
applicable pretreatment standard shall be within three years of the
date the standard is promulgated; provided, however, compliance with
a categorical pretreatment standard for new sources shall be required
upon promulgation.
2. Upon application by an industrial user, the Manager shall review
any limitations on substances specified in the applicable pretreatment
standards to reflect removal of the substances by the wastewater treatment
facility. The revised discharge limit for specified substances shall
be derived in accordance with federal law.
3. Upon application by an industrial user, the Manager shall adjust
any limitation on substances specified in the applicable pretreatment
standards to consider factors relating to such person which are fundamentally
different from the factors considered by EPA during the development
of the pretreatment standard. Requests for any determinations of a
fundamentally different adjustment shall be in accordance with federal
law.
4. The Manager shall notify any industrial user affected by the provisions
of this section and establish an enforceable compliance schedule for
each.
[Ord. 627A, 2/12/1985, Art. VI, § 4]
Nothing in this Part shall be construed as preventing any special
agreement or arrangement between the Borough and any user of the wastewater
facilities whereby wastewater of unusual strength or character is
accepted into the system and specially treated subject to any payments
or user charges as may be applicable.
[Ord. 627A, 2/12/1985, Art. VI, § 5]
The conservation of water and energy shall be encouraged by
the Manager. In establishing discharge restrictions upon industrial
users, he shall take into account already implemented or planned conservation
steps revealed by the industrial user. Upon request of the Manager,
each industrial user will provide the Manger with pertinent information
showing that the quantities of substances or pollutants have not been
nor will be increased as a result of the conservation steps. Upon
such a showing to the satisfaction of the Manager, he shall make adjustments
to discharge restrictions, which have been based on concentrations,
to reflect the conservation steps.
