For brevity and ease of communication, this chapter may be cited
as the "Town of Olive Sewer Use Law."
The general purpose of this chapter is the following: to provide
for efficient, economic, environmentally safe, and legal operation
of the Town of Olive publicly owned treatment works (POTW).
The specific purposes of this chapter are the following:
A.
To prevent the introduction of substances into the POTW that will:
(1)
Interfere with the municipal POTW in any way; or
(2)
Pass through the POTW into the state's waters and cause
contravention of standards for those waters or cause violation of
the POTW's SPDES permit; or
(3)
Hamper the disposal of POTW sludge and/or other residuals; or
(4)
Endanger employees responsible for the operation, maintenance,
and repair of the POTW; or
(5)
Cause air pollution, or groundwater pollution, directly or indirectly;
or
(6)
Cause, directly or indirectly, any public nuisance condition.
B.
To prevent new sources of infiltration and inflow and, to the extent
practicable, eliminate existing sources of infiltration and inflow.
C.
To assure that new sewer connections are properly constructed.
This chapter shall apply only to areas in the Town that are
currently served by the POTW and to areas that will be connected to
the sewer collection system in the future. Those areas include the
Boiceville Sewer District and the Shokan Sewer District and any real
property connected to those sewer systems.
Where this chapter references standards of design or construction,
such as but not limited to ASTM standards, ANSI standards, and Ten
State Standards, or NYCDEP, NYSDEC or USEPA regulations or standards,
such reference will be to the latest edition of any such standard
or regulation.
