No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged
any stormwater, surface water, groundwater, roof runoff, subsurface
drainage, uncontaminated cooling water or unpolluted industrial process
waters to any sanitary sewer.
Stormwater and all other unpolluted drainage
shall be discharged to such sewers as are specifically designated
as storm sewers, or to a natural outlet. Uncontaminated industrial
cooling water or unpolluted industrial process waters may be discharged
on approval of the Superintendent and DEC to a storm sewer or natural
outlet.
No person shall discharge or deposit or cause
or allow to be discharged or deposited into the wastewater treatment
system any wastewater which contains the following:
A. Explosive mixtures: liquid, solids or gases which
by reason of their nature or quantity are or may be sufficient, either
alone or by interaction with other substances, to cause fire or explosion
or be injurious in any other way to the wastewater treatment system
or to the operation of the system. At no time shall two successive
readings on an explosion hazard meter, at the point of discharge into
the public sewer system, be more than 5% nor any single reading over
10% of the lower explosive limit (LEL) of the meter. Prohibited materials
include but are not limited to gasoline, kerosene, naphtha, benzene,
toluene, xylene, ethers, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, peroxides,
chlorates, perchlorates, bromates, carbides, hydrides and sulfides.
B. Toxic substances: any toxic substances in amounts
exceeding standards promulgated by the Administrator of the United
States Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to the Act [now § 307(a)]
and chemical elements or compounds, phenols or other taste- or odor-producing
substances, or any other substances which singly or by interaction
with other wastes are not susceptible to treatment or which may interfere
with the biological processes or efficiency of the wastewater treatment
system, or that will pass through the system without being treated
to the required degree.
C. Corrosive wastes: any waste which will cause corrosion
or deterioration of the wastewater treatment system. All wastes discharged
to the public sewer system must have a pH value in the range of six
to nine standard units. Prohibited materials include, but are not
limited to, acids, sulfides, concentrated chloride and fluoride compounds
and substances which will react with water to form acidic products.
D. Solid or viscous wastes: solid or viscous substances
in quantities or of such size capable of causing obstruction to the
flow in sewers, or other interference with the proper operation of
the wastewater treatment system, such as but not limited to ashes,
cinders, sand, mud, straw, shavings, metal, glass, rags, feathers,
tar, plastics, wood, whole blood, hair and fleshings or hides, animal
guts or tissues, entrails, bones, spent lime, stone or marble dust,
grass clippings, spent grains, spent hops, waste paper, asphalt residues,
residues from refining or processing of fuel or lubricating oil and
similar substances. This prohibition includes any wastewater which
by interaction with other waters or wastes in the public wastewater
treatment system forms suspended solids which obstruct the flow in
the sewer or create a condition that interferes with the proper operation
of the wastewater treatment system.
E. Oil and grease: any wastewater containing fats, wax,
grease or oils, whether emulsified or not, in excess of 100 mg/l or
containing substances which may solidify or become viscous at temperatures
between 32º F. and 150º F. (0º C and 65º C.).
F. Excessive temperature: any wastewater causing the
temperature in the Village public sewer to exceed 150º F. (65º
C.) or the temperature of the influent to the treatment facilities
to exceed 104º F. (40º C.).
G. Improperly shredded garbage: garbage that is not properly
shredded garbage as heretofore defined.
H. Noxious materials: noxious or malodorous solids, liquids
or gases, which, either singly or by interaction with other wastes,
are capable of creating a public nuisance or hazard to any form of
life, or are or may be sufficient to prevent entry into a sewer for
its maintenance and repair.
I. Radioactive wastes: radioactive wastes or isotopes
of such half-life or concentration that they do not comply with regulations
or orders issued by the appropriate authority having control over
their use and/or which will or may cause damage or hazards to the
wastewater treatment system or personnel operating the system.
J. Excessive discharge rate: quantities of wastewater
flow, concentrations, or both, which constitute a slug as defined
herein.
K. Discolored material: wastes with color such as but
not limited to dye water or vegetable tanning solution that are not
removable by the treatment process.
No person shall discharge waste other than from
premises within the Village which are the source of such waste except
in the discretion of the Superintendent and on terms and conditions,
including fees, established by the Superintendent.
