[Ord. 627A, 2/12/1985, Art. VII, § 1]
1.
All industrial dischargers shall file with the Borough wastewater information deemed necessary by the Manager for determination of compliance with this Part, the Borough's NPDES permit conditions, and state and federal law. Such information shall be provided by completion of a questionnaire designed and supplied by the Manager and by supplements thereto as may be necessary. Information requested in the questionnaire and designated by the discharger as confidential is subject to the conditions of confidentiality as set out in Subsection 3 of this section.
2.
Where a person owns, operates or occupies properties designated as
an industrial discharger at more than one location, separate information
submittals shall be made for each location as may be required by the
Manager.
A.
40 CFR 2.
3.
The Manager shall implement measures to ensure the confidentiality
of information provided by a discharger pursuant to this Part. In
no event shall the Manger delegate this responsibility or disclose
any claimed confidential information to any person without prior notice
in writing to the owner and without providing the owner with the opportunity
to protect such confidential information, including the right to seek
judicial relief.
[Ord. 627A, 2/12/1985, Art. VII, § 2]
1.
40 CFR 403.12.
A.
When required by the Manager, the owner of any property serviced
by a building sewer carrying industrial wastewater discharges shall
provide suitable access and such necessary meters and other appurtenances
in the building sewer to facilitate observation, sampling and measurement
of the wastewater. Such access shall be in a readily and safely accessible
location and shall be provided in accordance with plans approved by
the manager. The access shall be provided and maintained at the owner's
expense so as to be safe and accessible at reasonable times.
B.
The Manager shall consider such factors as the volume and strength
of discharge, rate of discharge, quantities of toxic materials in
the discharge, wastewater treatment facility removal capabilities
and cost effectiveness in determining whether or not access and equipment
for monitoring industrial wastewater discharges shall be required.
C.
Where the Manager determines access and equipment for monitoring
or measuring industrial wastewater discharges is not practicable,
reliable or cost effective, the Manager may specify alternative methods
of determining the characteristics of the wastewater discharge which
will, in the Manager's judgment, provide an equitable measurement
of such characteristics.
[Ord. 627A, 2/12/1985, Art. VII, § 3]
1.
Measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of wastewater
to which reference is made in this Part 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
or such alternate methods approved by the Manager and which comply
with state and federal law. Sampling methods, locations, times, durations
and frequencies are to be determined on an individual basis subject
to approval by the Manager. The discharger shall have the option to
use, at his own expense, more complete sampling methods, locations,
times, durations and frequencies than specified by the Manager.
2.
Measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of wastewater
required by this Part shall be performed by a qualified laboratory.
When such analyses are required of a discharger, the discharger may,
in lieu of using the Borough's laboratory, make arrangement with any
qualified laboratory, including that of the discharger, to perform
such analyses.
A.
40 CFR 403.12.
3.
Monitoring of wastewater characteristics necessary for determination
of compliance with applicable pretreatment standards shall be conducted
on the basis of the following schedule, unless more frequent monitoring
is required by authority other than this Part, or if the Manager,
in his judgment, determines that the characteristics of the specific
discharge warrant a different frequency monitoring:
|
Average Actual Daily User Discharge
|
Monitoring Frequency
| |
|---|---|---|
|
Less than 100,000 gpd
|
Semiannually
| |
|
100,000 - 999,999 gpd
|
Quarterly
| |
|
More than 999,000 gpd
|
Monthly
|
4.
Monitoring of wastewater characteristics for any purpose other than
the determination of compliance with pretreatment standards shall
be conducted on a frequency deemed necessary by the Manager.
5.
Upon demonstration by any person that the characteristics of the
wastewater discharged by that person are consistent, the Manager may
reduce the frequency as may be required by authority other than this
Part, except in no case shall the frequency of monitoring be less
than semi-annual for the determination of compliance with pretreatment
standards.
6.
In determining the discharge characteristics factors such as continuous
or batch operation, and seasonal operation and the information requirements
of other provisions of this Part shall be considered by the Manager.
The Manager may obtain wastewater samples as required to verify the
consistency of discharge characteristics.
7.
Fees for any given measurement, test or analysis of wastewater required
by this Part and performed by the Borough shall be the same for all
classes of dischargers, regardless of the quantity of the discharge
and shall reflect only direct cost. Costs of analyses performed by
an independent laboratory at the option of discharger shall be borne
directly by the discharger.
[Ord. 627A, 2/12/1985, Art. VII, § 4]
If the drainage or discharge from any establishment causes a
deposit, obstruction or damage to any of the Borough's wastewater
facilities, the Manager shall cause the deposit or obstruction to
be promptly removed or cause the damage to be promptly repaired. The
cost for such work, including materials, labor and supervision, shall
be borne by the person causing such deposit, obstruction or damage.
