Users shall provide wastewater treatment as necessary to comply with this Part
2 and shall achieve compliance with all categorical pretreatment standards, local limits, and the prohibitions set out in §
146-44 within the time limitations specified by EPA, the state or the Superintendent, whichever is more stringent. Any facilities necessary for compliance shall be provided, operated and maintained at the user's expense. Detailed plans describing such facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the Superintendent for review, and shall be acceptable to the Superintendent before such facilities are constructed. The review of such plans and operating procedures shall in no way relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying such facilities as necessary to produce a discharge acceptable to the Town under the provisions of this chapter.
The Superintendent shall evaluate whether each
significant industrial user needs an accidental discharge/slug control
plan. The Superintendent may require any user to develop, submit for
approval, and implement such a plan. Alternatively, the Superintendent
may develop such a plan for any user. An accidental discharge/slug
control plan shall address, at a minimum, the following:
A. Description of discharge practices, including nonroutine
batch discharges;
B. Description of stored chemicals;
C. Procedures for immediately notifying the Superintendent of any accidental or slug discharge, as required by §
146-72; and
D. Procedures to prevent adverse impact (including the
potential impact of an industrial user's discharge on the treatment
ability or efficiency of the Town's wastewater treatment plant) from
any accidental or slug discharge. Such procedures include, but are
not limited to, inspection and maintenance of storage areas, handling
and transfer of materials, procedures to assure equalization of discharge
flows and/or loads; loading and unloading operations, control of plant
site runoff, worker training, building of containment structures or
equipment, measures for containing toxic organic pollutants, including
solvents, and/or measures and equipment for emergency response.
E. Procedures to assure that waste or pollutants discharged,
emitted, or otherwise emanating from the industrial user's site and/or
property are in compliance with applicable federal, state and local
requirements and do not otherwise cause objectionable odors, nuisances,
pose a threat to human health and the environment or otherwise interfere
with the health, safety, peace, comfort or convenience of the general
community.
Any hauled industrial and commercial waste,
including grease trap waste, is specifically prohibited. The Superintendent
may require septic tank waste haulers to obtain wastewater discharge
permits. The Town may require persons to provide evidence of waste
disposal practices, including documentation of the hauling, discharge,
or other disposition of wastewaters and/or pollutants generated at
the facility or otherwise associated with the activities at the industrial
user site.
