characteristics. The owner shall reimburse the Borough of Roselle
Park for all costs of sampling and testing.
h.
The volume of sewage and/or industrial waste from each industrial
establishment may be determined by meters paid for and installed and
maintained by the owner, actual water meter records and/or private
well meter records combined with municipal water records or from estimates
or measurements made by the Borough Engineer.
i.
The characteristics of the industrial waste shall be determined from
actual samplings or other approved means and shall be based upon analyses
made in accordance with the procedures outlined in the latest edition
of Standard Methods of Analysis of Water and Sewage, published by
the American Public Health Association. The Borough may require the
installation of automatic samplers at the cost of the owner to obtain
representative samples during a calendar quarter or as may be required.
j.
Additional classifications of waste characteristics or modifications
of the rate schedule may be established by the Borough from time to
time as deemed necessary.
k.
The Borough of Roselle Park will accept industrial wastes into the
sanitary sewerage system upon execution of a formal written agreement
and under and subject to the provisions appearing in the agreement
and the rules, regulations and rates stated herein. The agreement
will set out in detail the characteristics of the wastes, the flow
conditions which shall govern and the conditions with respect to the
physical connection or connections. It will be the policy of the Borough
to consider each application on its own merits and to establish specific
conditions applicable to the particular situation for each agreement.
No connection shall be made prior to execution of the agreement.
l.

nuisance.
[1980 Code § 170-15]
a.
The Borough of Roselle Park reserves the right to require preliminary
treatment where the chemical characteristics of the proposed industrial
wastes, in the opinion of the Borough or in the opinion of the State
Department of Environmental Protection or the local Board of Health,
make such preliminary treatment desirable or mandatory. Some of the
characteristics which may dictate preliminary treatment are listed
below:
1.
Five-day BOD in excess of three hundred fifty (350) milligrams per
liter.
2.
Suspended solids in excess of three hundred fifty (350) milligrams
per liter.
3.
Presence of arsenic, barium, cadmium, chloride, copper, cyanide,
fluoride, iron, lead, magnesium, manganese, nickel, nitrate, selenium,
sulfate, zinc or pH values outside the acceptable limits.
4.
pH below or above the allowable limits.
5.
A chlorine demand in excess of thirty (30) milligrams per liter.
b.
In such instances where it is agreed that the industrial waste will
be received following preliminary treatment, drawings and specifications
shall be submitted for approval showing all pertinent details of the
construction proposed to accomplish the preliminary treatment, to
include details of the indicator-record-register type of fluid meter
and the housing to be used to meter the flow of industrial wastes,
and also details of the control manhole to be constructed on the industrial
wastes' connection within the sidewalk area. The control manhole shall
be provided with adequate access manhole covers of approved type,
through which access shall be possible to the Borough of Roselle Park
personnel at all times. Drawings, specifications, reports, etc., shall
be submitted in quadruplicate and shall be prepared by a registered
professional engineer.
c.
Where preliminary treatment facilities are required, they shall be
provided and continuously maintained in an effectively operating condition
at all times, at the expense of the owner.
d.
Each owner connected shall be responsible for maintaining a quality
of effluent from his premises which conforms to the provisions established
in his agreement with the Borough. Sampling and analysis shall be
done to conform to accepted practice and in accordance with the current
edition of Standard Methods for Examination of Water, Sewage and Industrial
Wastes, published by the American Public Health Association.
e.
The cost of preparing and submitting this data for consideration
by the Borough of Roselle Park shall be borne by the industry; likewise,
the cost of sampling and analysis to determine compliance with the
terms of the agreement shall be borne by the owner, although conducted
by said Borough or its duly authorized representative.
[1980 Code § 170-16]
Industrial permitted to connect to the Borough sewers, even
though not initially required to provide preliminary treatment, may
be required to provide a control manhole and/or meter as described
above.
[1980 Code § 170-17]
a.
Where the owner provides its own water supply entirely separate from
that supplied by the Borough of Roselle Park or provides from its
own sources a portion of the water consumed on the premises which
eventually finds its way into the sewerage system of the Borough,
all of the aforementioned provisions will apply. This does not relieve
the owner from the requirement to furnish, install and maintain a
meter of the indicator-register-record type, to measure the discharge
of industrial wastes, as provided herein. All costs of furnishing,
installing and maintaining the industrial waste flow meter will be
borne by the owner.
b.
The Borough of Roselle Park representative shall have access at reasonable
times to industrial establishments and to any meters used to determine
waste volumes discharged into the sewer system or excluded from the
sewer system.
[1980 Code § 170-18]

[1980 Code § 170-19]
A separate connection shall be provided for domestic sewage,
and the waste shall not be commingled with the industrial waste within
the plant. The Borough of Roselle Park shall determine the equivalent
household connections from the discharge of domestic sewage from each
industrial plant. This shall be determined by dividing the average
daily domestic sewage flow by three hundred (300) gallons per day,
the latter representing the average household domestic sewage discharge.
The annual rate for discharge of domestic sewage into the Borough
sewer system shall be computed by multiplying the number of equivalent
units, as determined by the formula above, times the annual sewer
charge applied to each household unit (presently fifteen ($15.00)
dollars per year).
[1980 Code § 170-20]
a.
The rates and charges fixed by the Borough of Roselle Park shall
be in lieu of and in substitution for any other sewer charges heretofore
made by any other agency for such quarter or any succeeding period.
b.
Bills for said charges and rents shall be rendered to the owner of
each premise quarterly in advance as soon as may be practicable after
the beginning of each quarter and may be rendered with the tax bills
covering real estate, and the charges and rents shall become due and
payable as herein prescribed.
c.
The charges and rents shall drawn interest and be a lien upon the
premises until paid, and the Borough of Roselle Park shall have and
exercise the remedies for the collection thereof with interest, costs
and penalties provided in § 40:63-8 of the New Jersey Statutes
and as it has by law for the collection of taxes upon real estate.
[1980 Code § 170-21]
a.
Each owner of premises located on streets in which sewers are available
shall connect all sewerage facilities on the premises to the sewer
system immediately upon such sewerage facilities becoming available
and shall use the sewerage facilities at all times for sewage disposal
therefrom.
b.

thereto shall be made, except by duly authorized representatives or
employees of the Borough of Roselle Park, without application for
such having been made to the Borough and approved and except upon
compliance with the rules and regulations of the Borough relating
thereto.
c.
No cesspool, privy vault, subsoil or cellar drains, rainwater or
surface drains shall be connected with the sewer system or any part
thereof. Only the sewerage system of the premises shall be so connected.
[1980 Code § 170-22; New]
[1980 Code § 170-23]
No person, firm or corporation shall cause, permit or suffer
to be dumped within the confines of the Borough of Roselle Park, or
