As a means of determining compliance with this chapter, with
applicable SPDES permit conditions, and with applicable state and
federal law, each significant industrial user shall be required to
notify the Superintendent of any new or existing discharges to the
Town sewerage system by submitting a completed industrial chemical
survey (ICS) form and a completed industrial wastewater survey (IWS)
form to the Superintendent. The Superintendent may require any user
discharging wastewater into the Town sewerage system to file wastewater
discharge reports and to supplement such reports as the Superintendent
deems necessary. All information shall be furnished by the user in
complete cooperation with the Superintendent.
The Superintendent shall, from time to time, notify each significant
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 user shall contribute slug discharges to the Town sewerage
system. Each user that discharges greater than 100,000 gallons per
day, or greater than 5% of the average daily flow, to the Town sewerage
system, whichever is lesser, 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 Superintendent. A
wastewater discharge permit may be issued solely for flow equalization.
Wastewater pretreatment facilities, flow equalization facilities,
and monitoring stations, if provided for any wastewater, shall be
constructed and continuously operated and maintained in a clean and
safe manner by the owner at the owner's expense. Where an industrial
user has such treatment, equalization, or monitoring facilities at
the time this chapter is enacted, the Superintendent may approve or
disapprove the adequacy of such facilities. Where the Superintendent
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 New York State licensed professional engineer and submitted to the
Superintendent. Construction of new or upgraded facilities shall not
commence until written approval of the Superintendent has been obtained.
An approved implementation schedule will be required.
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, or rendering
inaccurate to:
A. Any structure, appurtenance, or equipment which is a part of the
Town sewerage 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 Superintendent.
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 Town representative(s)
shall gather sufficient volume of sample so that the sample can be
split into two nearly equal volumes, each of a size adequate for the
anticipated analytical protocols, including any quality control (QC)
procedures. One of the portions shall be given to the representative
of the industrial user whose wastewater was sampled, and the other
portion shall be retained by the Town for its own analysis. Likewise,
when so requested in advance by the Superintendent, the industrial
user shall gather sufficient volume of sample so that the sample can
be split into two nearly equal volumes, each of a size adequate for
the anticipated analytical protocols, including any quality control
(QC) procedures.
