The Superintendent should initially rely upon the federal categorical pretreatment standards of Article IV to protect the Village wastewater treatment system and receiving waters; however, if any wastewater which contains substances or particular characteristics shown to have a deleterious effect upon the wastewater treatment system, or which contains any prohibited substance as described in § 122-18, or which contains any concentration in excess of those described in § 122-19, is discharged or proposed to be discharged into the wastewater treatment system or to any system tributary thereto, the Superintendent shall:
A. 
Prohibit the discharge of such wastewater, including disconnection of the user's building sewer from the Village public sewer, if necessary;
B. 
Require a discharger to demonstrate that in-plant modifications will reduce or eliminate the discharge of such substances in conformity with this chapter;
C. 
Require pretreatment, including storage facilities, or flow equalization necessary to reduce or eliminate the objectionable characteristics or substances so that the discharge will conform to the pretreatment standards and will not violate this chapter;
D. 
Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge;
E. 
Require payment to cover added cost of handling and treatment of the wastewaters not covered by existing fees or charges;
F. 
Require the development of compliance schedules to meet any applicable pretreatment requirements;
G. 
Require the submission of reports necessary to assure compliance with applicable pretreatment requirements;
H. 
Carry out all inspection, surveillance and monitoring necessary to determine compliance with applicable pretreatment requirements;
I. 
Obtain remedies for noncompliance by any user. Such remedies may include injunctive relief, appropriate civil penalties and criminal penalties specified in Article X of this chapter; and/or
J. 
Take such other remedial action as may be deemed to be desirable or necessary to achieve the purpose of this chapter.
A. 
Where pretreatment, equalization or holding (storage for scheduled discharge) of wastewater flows prior to discharge into any part of the wastewater treatment system is required; engineering reports, construction plans, construction specifications and other pertinent data or information relating to such pretreatment or flow control facilities shall first be submitted to the Superintendent for review and approval.
B. 
Review and approval of the proposed facilities and operating procedures shall not relieve the industrial user from the responsibility to modify his facility if it does not achieve the required performance. Any subsequent alterations or additions to such pretreatment or flow control facilities shall not be made without due notice to and prior approval of the Superintendent.
If pretreatment or control of wastewater flow is required, such facilities shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory and effective operation at the expense of the user and in compliance with this chapter. Monitoring of the pretreatment facilities discharge shall be in compliance with Article VI.
In the event that the federal government promulgates a regulation for a given new or existing user in a specific industrial subcategory that establishes pretreatment standards or establishes that such a user is exempt from pretreatment standards, such federal regulations shall immediately supersede § 122-22 of this article, unless the Superintendent determines that the revised standards, if implemented, would be deleterious to the operation of the Village treatment system.
Interceptors (commonly called traps) for the treatment of grease, oil and solids shall be provided and maintained by the user when the existing or proposed discharge exceeds the limits specified in Subsections A (flammable), D (solids) and E (grease or oil) of § 122-18 or when deemed necessary by the Superintendent to protect the operation and efficiency of the wastewater treatment system. Establishments for which such interceptors shall be required include but are not limited to: commercial kitchens, such as for restaurants and banquet facilities, gas stations, and motor vehicle maintenance garages. Interceptors shall not be required for the discharge of normal domestic wastes from residential users. All existing and future interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Superintendent, and the burden of proof of adequacy shall be the responsibility of the user. All interceptors shall be located so as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
Each industrial user shall provide protection from accidental discharge of prohibited materials or other wastes regulated by this chapter. Facilities to prevent accidental discharge of prohibited materials shall be provided and maintained at the user's own cost and expense. Detailed plans showing facilities and operating procedures to provide this protection shall be submitted to the Superintendent for review and shall be approved before construction of such facilities. Review and approval of such plans and operating procedures shall not relieve the industrial user from the responsibility to modify this facility as necessary to meet the requirements of this chapter.
If, for any reason, a facility does not comply with or will be unable to comply with any prohibition or limitations in this chapter, the facility responsible for such discharge shall immediately notify the Superintendent so that corrective action may be taken to protect the wastewater treatment system. In addition, a written report addressed to the Village detailing the date, time and cause of accidental discharge, the quantity and characteristics of the discharge and corrective action taken to prevent future discharges shall be filed by the responsible industrial user within five days of the occurrence of the noncomplying discharge.
The Superintendent shall have the right to inspect and/or test any building sewer and building drain and appurtenances or private sewers that discharge wastewater directly or indirectly to the Village's wastewater treatment system. This includes the authority to inspect basements for illegal connections, such as sump pumps. In the case of basement inspection the Superintendent shall give prior notice of no less than 12 hours nor more than 48 hours if requested by the owner. If it is found that such sewers or drains are used or maintained in such a way as to cause any discharge that violates this chapter, the Superintendent will initiate enforcement actions in accordance with Article X.
All costs incurred by the Village in carrying out the control actions specified in this article shall be the responsibility of the actual or proposed user. These costs shall include but not be limited to such items as laboratory tests and consultant services. The Village will invoice the owner for its costs.
While sections of this chapter allow for special agreements for prohibited, limited or excessive compatible pollutants, no special agreements shall circumvent federal categorical pretreatment standards.
