No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any stormwater,
surface water, groundwater, roof runoff, subsurface drainage, cooling
water or unpolluted industrial process waters to any sanitary sewer.
Stormwater and all other unpolluted drainage shall be discharged
to such sewers as are specifically designated as storm drains or storm
sewers, or to a natural outlet approved by the Borough Engineer. Where
this may not be feasible, the deactivated individual disposal system
may be used for this purpose, upon approval of the Waldwick Board
of Health. Industrial cooling water or unpolluted process waters may
be discharged, upon approval of the Borough Engineer, and the Waldwick
Board of Health, to a storm drain or natural outlet.

sewer:
A. Gasoline, benzene, naptha, fuel oil, lubricating oils and greases,
inflammable or explosive liquids, solid or gases, paint and lacquers,
or other combustible materials.
B. Improperly shredded garbage.
C. Abrasives, ashes, cinders, sand, mud, straw, shavings, metal, glass,
rags, feathers, tar, plastics, wood, paunch manure.

in sewers, or interference with the proper functioning of the treatment
processes.
E. Wastes containing viable pathogenic bacteria other than those normal
to domestic sewage.
F. All wastes containing corrosive matters or toxic or poisonous substances,
or chemicals in sufficient quantity to injure or interfere with the
sewage-treatment process, or create any hazard to sewers, structures,
equipment or personnel of the sewage works.

singly or by interaction with other substances are capable of creating
a public nuisance or hazard to life or preventing entry into sewers
for their maintenance and repair.
H. Any radioactive materials or isotopes without obtaining a special
permit from the Waldwick Board of Health.
I. All waters, wastes or deleterious substances which shall be excluded
from discharge to intercepting or trunk sewers of the Northwest Bergen

of the Authority, and existing or future agreements between the Borough
and the Authority.
Except as hereinafter provided, no person shall discharge or
cause to be discharged any of the following described waters or wastes
to any public sewers:
A. Any liquid or vapor having a temperature higher than one hundred
fifty degrees Fahrenheit (150 F.).
B. Any water or wastes which may contain more than one hundred (100)
parts per million by weight of fat, oil or grease.
C. Any water wastes having a pH lower than five point five (5.5) or
higher than nine point five (9.5), or having any other corrosive property
capable of causing damage or hazard to structures, equipment and personnel
of the sewage works.
D. Any water or wastes having a five-day Biochemical Oxygen Demand greater
than three hundred fifty (350) parts per million by weight.
E. Any water or wastes containing more than three hundred fifty (350)

The admission into the public sewers of any water or wastes having (a) a five-day Biochemical Oxygen Demand greater than three hundred fifty (350) parts per million by weight, or (b) containing more than three hundred fifty (350) parts per million by weight of suspended solids, or (c) containing any quantity of substances having the characteristics described in section
75-10, or (d) having an average daily flow greater than two percent (2%) of the average daily sewage flow of the Borough, shall be subject to the review and approval of the Borough. Where necessary in the opinion of the Borough, the owner shall provide at his expense, such preliminary treatment as may be necessary to (a) reduce the Biochemical Oxygen Demand to three hundred fifty (350) parts per million and the suspended solids to three hundred fifty (350) parts per million by weight, or (b) reduce objectionable characteristics or constituents to within the acceptable limits provided for in section
75-10, or (c) control the quantities and rates of discharge of such waters or wastes. Plans, specifications and any other pertinent information relating to proposed preliminary treatment facilities shall be submitted for the approval of the Borough of Waldwick, the Waldwick Board of Health and of the Department of Health of the State of New Jersey, and no construction of such facilities shall be commenced until said approvals area obtained in writing.
Where preliminary treatment facilities are provided for any
waters or wastes, they shall be maintained continuously by satisfactory
and effective operation, and facilities for sampling shall be installed
by the owner at his own expense.
When required by the Borough, the owner of any property served
by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install a suitable
control manhole in the building sewer to facilitate observation, sampling
and measurement of the wastes. Such manhole, when required, shall
be accessibly and safely located, available for inspection, and shall
be constructed under the supervision of the Borough Engineer, in accordance
with plans approved by the Borough. The manhole shall be maintained
by him so as to be safe and accessible at all times.
No statement contained in this Article shall be construed as
prohibiting any special agreement or arrangement between the Borough,
the Board of Health and any person whereby an industrial waste system,
either before or after pretreatment, provided that there is no impairment
of the functioning of the sewerage system or any sewerage-treatment
plan by reason of the admission of such wastes, and no extra costs
are incurred by the Borough without recompense by the person.
