No person shall cause the discharge of slugs to the POTW. Each
person discharging into the POTW greater than 100,000 gallons per
day or greater than 5% of the average daily flow in the POTW, whichever
is lesser, 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 Superintendent. A wastewater discharge
permit may be issued solely for flow equalization.
Preliminary treatment and flow equalization facilities, or monitoring
stations, if provided for any wastewater, shall be constructed and
maintained continuously clean and safe and continuously operational
by the owner at his expense. Where an industrial user has such treatment,
equalization, or monitoring facilities at the time this chapter is
enacted, the Superintendent may approve or disapprove the adequacy
of such facilities. Where the Superintendent disapproves of such facilities
and construction of new or upgraded facilities for treatment, equalization,
or monitoring is required, plans and specifications for such facilities
shall be prepared by a licensed professional engineer and submitted
to the Superintendent. Construction of new or upgraded facilities
shall not commence until written approval of the Superintendent has
been obtained.
No unauthorized person shall negligently break, damage, destroy,
uncover, deface, tamper with, prevent access to, or render inaccurate,
or cause or permit the negligent breaking, damaging, destroying, uncovering,
defacing, tampering with, preventing access to, or inaccurate rendering
of, any structure, appurtenance, or equipment which is a part of the
Village POTW, or any measuring, sampling, and/or testing device or
mechanism installed pursuant to any requirement under this chapter,
except as approved by the Superintendent.
