A.
This Part 2 sets forth uniform requirements for direct
and indirect contributors into the wastewater collection and treatment
system for the Town of Deerfield and enables the Town to comply with
all applicable state and federal laws required by the Clean Water
Act of 1977 and the General Pretreatment Regulations (40 CFR 403).
B.
The objectives of this Part 2 are to:
(1)
Prevent the introduction of pollutants into the municipal
wastewater system which will interfere with the operation of the system
or contaminate the resulting sludge.
(2)
Prevent the introduction of pollutants into the municipal
wastewater system which will pass through the system, inadequately
treated, into receiving waters or the atmosphere or otherwise be incompatible
with the system.
(3)
Improve the opportunity to recycle and reclaim wastewaters
and sludges from the system.
(4)
Provide for equitable distribution of the cost of
the municipal wastewater system.
C.
This Part 2 provides for the regulation of direct
and indirect contributors to the municipal wastewater system through
the issuance of permits to certain nondomestic users and through enforcement
of general requirements for users and through enforcement of general
requirements for the other users, authorizes monitoring and enforcement
activities, requires user reporting, assumes that existing customer's
capacity will not be preempted and provides for the setting of fees
for the equitable distribution of costs resulting from the program
established herein.
