[Ord. No. 227, 9/5/2006]
Users shall provide wastewater treatment as necessary to comply with this Part and shall achieve compliance with all categorical pretreatment standards, local limits and the prohibitions set out in § 23-330 of this Part within the time limitations specified by the EPA, the state, or the Township, whichever is more stringent. Any facilities necessary for compliance shall be provided, operated, and maintained at the user's expense. Detailed plans describing such facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the Township for review, and shall be acceptable to the Township before such facilities are constructed. The review of such plans and operating procedures shall in no way relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying such facilities as necessary to produce an acceptable discharge to the Township under the provisions of this Part.
[Ord. No. 227, 9/5/2006]
The Township may provide legal authority to do the following:
(a)
Whenever deemed necessary, the Township may require users to restrict
their discharge during peak flow periods, designate that certain wastewater
be discharged only into specific sewers, relocate and/or consolidate
points of discharge, separate sewage waste streams from industrial
waste streams, and such other conditions as may be necessary to protect
the POTW and determine the user's compliance with the requirements
of this Part.
(b)
Each person discharging into the POTW greater than 25,000 gallons
per day or greater than 5% of the average daily flow in the POTW,
whichever is less, 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 Township. A wastewater
discharge permit may be issued solely for flow equalization.
(c)
Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the
opinion of the Township, they are necessary for the proper handling
of wastewater containing excessive amounts of grease and oil, or sand;
except that such interceptors shall not be required for residential
users. All interception units shall be of type and capacity approved
by the Township and shall be so located to be easily accessible for
cleaning and inspection. Such interceptors shall be inspected, cleaned
and repaired regularly, as needed, by the user at his expense. The
Township may require documentation from the user to confirm that adequate
grease, oil, and sand interceptor maintenance is being performed.
(d)
Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be
required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection
meter.
[Ord. No. 227, 9/5/2006]
At least once every two years the Township shall evaluate whether
each significant industrial user needs an accidental discharge/slug
control plan. The Township may require any user to develop, submit
for approval, and implement such a plan. Alternatively, the Township
may develop such a plan for any user. An accidental discharge/slug
control plan shall address, at a minimum, the following:
(a)
Description of discharge practices, including nonroutine batch discharges;
(b)
Description of stored chemicals;
(c)
Procedures for immediately notifying the POTW of any accidental or slug discharge, as required by § 23-363 of this Part; and
(d)
Procedures to prevent adverse impact from any accidental or slug
discharge. Such procedures include, but are not limited to, inspection
and maintenance of storage areas, handling and transfer of materials,
loading and unloading operations, control of plant site runoff, worker
training, building of containment structures or equipment, measures
for containing toxic organic pollutants (including solvents), and/or
measures and equipment for emergency response.
[Ord. No. 227, 9/5/2006]
Hauled waste will not be accepted into the POTW without prior
written approval from the Township.
