Where a public sewer is not available, under the provisions of §
105-10, the building lateral shall be connected to a private wastewater disposal system complying with the provisions of the Rules and Regulations of the NYSDOH, to be enforced by the Superintendent, and/or the NYSDOH.
No two separate permanent buildings, where the intended use
for either is for a distinct and separate business or a dwelling place
for a private family or families, shall be connected to the same individual
septic tank and tile absorption field unless authorized by the Superintendent.
A completed application form, containing results of percolation tests, computations, and a plot plan, including the design and cross section of the wastewater disposal system, in relation to lot lines, adjacent and on-site well or water supply, and buildings, shall be submitted to the Town. A fee, established by Article
XXX of this Part
2, shall accompany the application. The wastewater disposal system shall be designed by a professional engineer, licensed surveyor, or architect, and shall be in accordance with the NYSDOH "Standards for Waste Treatment Works" or NYSDEC "Standards for Commercial and Institutional Facilities" as appropriate.
A written construction permit shall be obtained from the Superintendent
before construction commencement. The Superintendent, or his designated
representative, shall be permitted to inspect the construction work
at any stage, without prior notice.
When the liquid or liquid-borne effluent from a private wastewater
disposal system enters any watercourse, ditch, storm sewer, or water
supply system located in the Town, in such a manner, volume, and concentration
so as to create a hazardous, offensive, or objectionable condition,
in the opinion of the Superintendent or the NYSDOH, the owner of the
premises upon which such wastewater disposal system is located, upon
receiving written notice from the Superintendent to do so, shall,
within 90 days after receipt of such notice, repair, rebuild, or relocate
such wastewater disposal system for the purpose of eliminating such
hazardous, offensive, or objectionable conditions. The repair, rebuilding,
or relocation of the system shall be accomplished in accordance with
the rules and regulations of the NYSDOH and the Wayne County Health
Department, at the owner's expense.
The owner shall operate and maintain the private wastewater
disposal system in a manner consistent with all applicable rules and
regulations at all times, at the owner's expense.
Where a private wastewater disposal system utilizes a cesspool
or a septic tank, septage shall be removed from the cesspool or septic
tank by a licensed hauler of trucked and hauled wastes at three-year
intervals or more frequently.
At such time that a public sewer becomes available to a property,
a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer if required
by the Superintendent, in compliance with this chapter, and any cesspool,
septic tank, and similar wastewater disposal facilities shall be cleaned
of septage by a licensed septage hauler and finally either filled
with clean sand, bank-run gravel, or dirt, or removed and properly
disposed. When the connection is made to the public sewer, the connection
to the private wastewater disposal facility shall be broken and both
ends of the break shall be plugged, as appropriate. Alternatively,
the septic tank effluent may be piped or pumped to the sewer; the
owner shall provide an easement to the septic tank for septage removal.
No statement in this article shall be construed to prevent,
or interfere with, any additional requirements that may be deemed
necessary by the Superintendent, to protect public health and public
welfare.
