[Ord. 1984-4, 8/6/1984, § 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 Part 5, § 18-507. Any connection, drain, or arrangement which will permit any such waters to any other wastewater sewer shall be deemed to be a violation of this section and this chapter.
[Ord. 1984-4, 8/6/1984, § 2; as amended by Ord. 1997-1, 4/7/1997]
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. 
Create a fire or explosion hazard including, but not limited to, gasoline, benzene, naptha, fuel, oil, or other flammable or explosive liquid, solid, or gas.
B. 
Cause corrosive damage or hazard to structures, equipment or personnel of the wastewater facilities, but in no case discharges with the following properties:
(1) 
Having a pH lower than 5.0 or greater than 10.0 for more than 10% of the time in a twenty-four-hour period;
(2) 
Having a pH lower than 3.5 or greater than 12.0 for any period exceeding 15 minutes.
C. 
Cause obstruction to the flow in sewers, or other interference with the operation of wastewater facilities due to accumulation of solid or viscous materials.
D. 
Constitute a rate of discharge or substance deviation for normal rates of discharge, "slug discharge," sufficient to cause interference in the operation and performance of the wastewater facilities.
E. 
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° F. or the temperature of the influent to the treatment facilities to exceed 40° F. unless the facilities can accommodate such heat.
F. 
Contain more than 100 milligrams per liter of nonbiodegradable oils of mineral or petroleum origin,
G. 
Contain floatable oils, fat, or grease.
H. 
Contain noxious, malodorous gas or substance which is present in quantities that create a public nuisance or a hazard to life.
I. 
Contain radioactive wastes in harmful quantities as defined by applicable state and federal regulations.
J. 
Contain any garbage that has not been properly shredded.
K. 
Contain any odor- or color-producing substances exceeding concentration limits which may be established by the Manager for purposes of meeting the Borough's NPDES permit.
2. 
If, in establishing discharge restrictions, discharge limits, or pretreatment standards pursuant to this Part 6, 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 user at the request of such user.
3. 
Grease traps and/or interceptors shall be required to be installed in commercial user (Class II) and/or industrial user (Class III) to receive the drainage from fixtures and equipment with grease-laden waste, floatable oils, fat and waste containing more than 100 milligrams per liter of nonbiodegradable oils of mineral or petroleum origin, located in food preparation areas, to include, but not be limited to, restaurants, hotel kitchens, hospitals, school kitchens, bars, factory cafeterias, repair garages with grease pits or work racks, clubs, fast-food facilities and nursing houses/facilities.
[Ord. 1984-4, 8/6/1984, § 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 standards except as otherwise provided in this section. Compliance with such applicable pretreatment standards 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 a Class III user, the Manager shall revise 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 a Class III 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 and determinations of a fundamentally different adjustment shall be in accordance with federal law.
4. 
The Manager shall notify any Class III user affected by the provisions of this section and establish an enforceable compliance schedule for each.
[Ord. 1984-4, 8/6/1984, § 4]
Nothing in this Part 6 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. 1984-4, 8/6/1984, § 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 Class III user. Upon request of the Manager, each industrial user will provide the Manager with pertinent information showing that the quantities of substances or pollutants have not been or 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.
