The Town may require an industrial user to install and operate
an industrial wastewater pretreatment system to treat industrial flows
prior to discharge to the Town sewerage system when it is necessary
to measure, sample, restrict or prevent the discharge to the sewer
of certain waste constituents, to more equally distribute peak discharges
of industrial wastewater or to accomplish any pretreatment results
required by the Town or other appropriate regulatory agency. All pretreatment
systems shall be subject to the approval of the Town. Approval by
the Town does not constitute a waiver of compliance with these regulations
or other appropriate regulations, ordinances and codes.
Each user shall incorporate measures to prevent or control accidental
discharges of substances and wastewater prohibited or limited by the
requirements of this chapter. These measures shall include facilities
and operating procedures as necessary to prevent the entrance of accidental
spills into the POTW. When required by the Town, detailed plans describing
these facilities and procedures shall be submitted to the Town Engineer
for review and shall be approved by the Town before construction of
these facilities. No user who commences contribution to the POTW after
the effective date of this chapter shall be permitted to discharge
into the system until accidental discharge procedures have been approved
by the Town.
Where pretreatment facilities are required and provided for
wastes, these facilities shall be maintained continuously and operated
in a satisfactory and effective manner by the industrial user at his
expense.
Where installed, all grease, oil and sand interceptors shall
be maintained by the owner at his expense in continuously efficient
operation at all times.
If an industrial user is required to install and operate a pretreatment or control system for the purposes identified in Article
VII, §§
97-35 and
97-36 above, the industrial user shall develop and submit a compliance schedule to define the shortest schedule by which the user will provide such pretreatment or operation and maintenance. The following conditions shall apply to this schedule:
A. The schedule shall contain increments of progress in the form of dates for the commencement and completion of major events leading to the construction and operation of pretreatment required for the user to comply with the objectives stated in §
97-35. These shall include hiring an engineer, completing preliminary plans, completing final plans, executing contract(s) for major components, commencing construction, completing construction, etc.
B. No increment referred to in Subsection
A shall exceed nine months.
C. Not later than 14 days following each milestone date in the schedule
and the final date for compliance, the user shall submit a progress
report to the Town Engineer, including, as a minimum, whether or not
it complied with the increment of progress to be met on such date
and, if not, the date on which it expects to comply with this increment
of progress, the reason for delay and the steps being taken by the
user to bring the construction back into compliance with the schedule.
In no event shall more than nine months elapse between such progress
reports.
