[R.O. 1966 C.S. § 21:3-1]
No person shall connect or maintain any source of inflow, or
discharge or cause to be discharged any volume of inflow to municipal,
JMEUC, PVSC, or SRJM wastewater facilities without the controlling
organization's prior written approval.
[R.O. 1966 C.S. § 21:3-2]
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any of the
following wastes into any public sewer:
a. Wastes that may create a fire or explosion hazard in the sewer or
wastewater facility, such as gasoline, fuel oil, cleaning solvents,
etc.;
b. Wastes that may impair or cause to impair the hydraulic capacity
of the sewerage system, such as ashes, sand, metal, precipitates,
etc.;
c. Wastes that contain toxic wastes in toxic amounts;
d. Wastes discharged at a flow rate that is excessive over a relatively
short period of time, such that there is an upset of the treatment
process and a substantial loss of treatment efficiency;
e. Wastes that may: create a hazard to people; create a hazard or cause
damage to the wastewater facilities; endanger or interfere with the
treatment process; create a hazard to receiving waters; or result
in a violation of effluent limitations or other conditions contained
in any NPDES permit;
f. Radioactive wastes or isotopes of such half-life or concentration
that may exceed limits established by the City, JMEUC, SRJM, or PVSC
in compliance with applicable State or Federal regulations;
g. Noxious or malodorous wastes capable of creating a public nuisance.
[R.O. 1966 C.S. § 21:3-3]
No industrial user shall directly or indirectly discharge or
cause to be discharged any of the following wastes to the wastewater
facilities controlled by the City, JMEUC, PVSC, or SRJM without the
controlling organization's prior written permission:
a. Wastes with a temperature in excess of 150° F. (65° C.);
b. Wastes containing more than 100 mg/L mineral oil or grease;
c. Wastes containing floatable oil;
d. Waste containing heavy metals;
e. Wastes discharged at such a concentration or rate so as to constitute
a slug;
f. Wastes with pH outside the limits of 5.0 to 9.0;
g. Wastes containing toxic wastes in less than toxic amounts.
Permission to discharge the above wastes may be granted upon
a determination by the controlling organization (i.e. the City, JMEUC,
SRJM, and/or PVSC) that the proposed discharge will not be detrimental
to the wastewater facilities or the receiving waters; the burden of
proof in such cases shall lie with the discharger.
[R.O. 1966 C.S. § 21:3-4]
Without having first obtained the signed, written permission of the Director of Water and Sewer Utilities, no person shall directly or indirectly discharge or cause to be discharged any quantity of waste or wastewater to any public sewer or natural outlet from a nonstationary source, including for example, but not limited to the discharge of industrial waste from any tank truck. Each and every individual operator and/or owner of a nonstationary source that discharges in violation of this section shall, upon conviction, serve the maximum penalties allowed by Section
32:1-7.
[R.O. 1966 C.S. § 21:3-5]
a. All major industries shall provide a structure for the sampling of
wastewater before the point of discharge to a public sewer or natural
outlet. The sampling structure shall be constructed and maintained
by the major industry at its own expense, and shall be kept safe and
accessible at all times. Sampling structure designed shall be subject
to the City's approval.
b. When required by the City, JMEUC, PVSC, SRJM, NJDEP, and/or USEPA,
a major industry shall install and maintain additional facilities
at its own expense including for example, meters, sealed automatic
monitoring systems, or other appurtenances to facilitate observation,
sampling and measurement of wastes. Construction, installation, and
maintenance of such additional facilities shall be the responsibility
of the major industry which shall keep these facilities safe and accessible
at all times. Design and construction of such additional facilities
shall be subject to the requirements of the governmental authority
requiring them.
[R.O. 1966 C.S. § 21:3-6]
When required by the City, JMEUC, PVSC, SRJM, NJDEP, and/or USEPA, minor industries shall be subject to the requirements of Section
32:3-5.
[R.O. 1966 C.S. § 21:3-7]
When pretreatment standards are adopted by the USEPA for any
given class of industries, then any industry within that class shall
conform to the USEPA timetable for adherence to pretreatment requirements
as well as all other applicable requirements promulgated by the USEPA
in accordance with the provisions of law. Additionally, such industries
shall comply with such more stringent standards necessitated by local
conditions as determined from time to time by the City, JMEUC, SRJM,
and/or PVSC.
[R.O. 1966 C.S. § 21:3-8]
All persons subject to this Title shall be required to provide
information to the City, JMEUC, PVSC, SRJM, NJDEP, and/or USEPA, as
needed, to determine compliance with this Title. This information
may include:
a. Wastewater discharge rate and volume over a specified time period;
b. Chemical analysis of wastewater;
c. Information on raw materials, processes, and products affecting wastewater
volume and quality;
d. Quantity and disposition of specified liquid, sludge, oil, solvent,
or other materials important to sewer use control;
e. A plot plan of sewers on the user's property showing sewer and
pretreatment facility location;
f. Details of wastewater pretreatment facilities;
g. Details of systems designed to prevent and/or control the loss of
spilled materials to the municipal sewer (i.e. spill prevention plan).
[R.O. 1966 C.S. § 21:3-9]
All measurements, tests, and analyses of the characteristics
of wastewater, to which reference is made in this Title, shall be
determined in accordance with the latest edition of Standard Methods
of Water and Wastewater, published jointly by the American Public
Health Association, and the Water Pollution Control Federation, or
other methods of procedure that may be acceptable to the governmental
authority requiring the measurements, tests, or analyses. Sampling
method, location, time, duration, and frequency shall be determined
on an individual basis by the governmental authority requiring the
sampling.
[R.O. 1966 C.S. § 21:3-10]
All users of the wastewater facilities shall comply with the
requirements of the written rules and regulations of the City, JMEUC,

[Ord. 6 S+FF, 4-17-1991, § 21:3-11]

sewer.
[Ord. 6 S+FF, 4-17-1991 § 21:3-12]
Storm and other unpolluted drainage shall be discharged to such
sewers as are specially designated as combined sewers or storm sewers
or to a natural outlet as approved by the Director of the Department
of Water and Sewer Utilities. Industrial cooling water or unpolluted
process waters may be discharged, upon approval of the Director of
the Department of Water and Sewer Utilities, to a storm sewer, combined
sewer or a natural outlet, provided that a NJPDES permit has been
approved by the N.J. Department of Environmental Protection, Division
of Water Resources.
