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. 
Pollutants creating fire or explosion hazard: pollutants which create a fire or explosion hazard in the POTW, including but not limited to waste streams with closed cup flash points less than 140° F. or 60° C. using the test methods specified in 40 CFR 261.21.
B. 
Noxious materials: nonconventional pollutants which, either singly or by interaction with other wastes, are noxious or malodorous, are capable of creating a public nuisance or are or may be sufficient to prevent entry into the treatment works for its maintenance and repair.
C. 
Improperly shredded garbage: garbage that has not been ground or comminuted to such a degree that all particles will be carried freely in suspension under flow conditions normally prevailing in the treatment works, with no particle greater than 1/2 inch in any dimension.
D. 
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 which will or may cause damage or hazards to the sewerage facilities or personnel operating the system.
E. 
Solid or viscous wastes: solids or viscous wastes which will or may cause obstruction to the flow in a sewer or otherwise interfere with the proper operation of the treatment works. Prohibited materials include, but are not limited to, uncomminuted garbage, animal guts or tissues, diseased human organs or tissue fluids, paunch manure, bones, hair, hides or fleshing, entrails, whole blood, feathers, ashes, cinders, sand, spent lime, stone or marble dust, metal, glass, straw, shavings, grass clippings, rags, spent grains, spent hops, wastepaper, wood, plastic, tar, asphalt residues, residues from refining or processing of fuel or lubricating oil and similar substances. (Other materials may be specified at the discretion of the Director).
F. 
Toxic pollutants: any toxic pollutant in an amount exceeding standards promulgated by the Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to Section 307(a) of P.L. 95-217 and chemical elements or compounds, phenols or other taste- or odor-producing substances, or any other substances normally not found in unpolluted waters which are not susceptible to treatment or which may interfere with the biological process or efficiency of the treatment system or that will pass through the system or preclude the selection of the most cost-effective alternative for wastewater treatment and sludge disposal.
G. 
Discolored material: wastes which cause discoloration or other condition in the quality of the Authority's treatment plant effluent in such a manner that the receiving water quality requirements established by law cannot be met.
H. 
Corrosive wastes: any waste which will cause corrosion or deterioration of the treatment system. All wastes discharged to the public sewer system must have a pH value in the range of 6.0 to 9.0 standard units. Prohibited materials include, but are not limited to, acids, alkalines, sulfides, concentrated chloride and fluoride compounds and substances which will react with water to form acidic or alkaline products.
I. 
Incompatible waste and water: waters or wastes containing substances which are not amenable to treatment or reduction by the wastewater treatment processes employed or are amendable to treatment plant effluent cannot meet the requirements of other agencies having jurisdiction over discharge to the receiving waters. No waste shall be discharged to a community sewer that causes, threatens to cause or is capable of causing, either alone or by interaction with other substances, conditions at or near the Authority's facilities which violate any statute or any rule, regulation or ordinance of any public agency or state or federal regulatory body.
J. 
Transported material: any trucked or hauled pollutants, except at discharge points designated by the WNYMUA POTW.
K. 
Pass-through and interference: any pollutants which cause a pass-through or interference.
L. 
Unauthorized pollutant(s): any pollutant(s), except in conformity with a valid permit issued by the WNYMUA and/or the NJDEP.
A. 
No person shall discharge any wastewater containing in excess of:
[Amended 8-7-1996 by Ord. No. 31/96]
(1) 
Ten thousand milligrams per liter biochemical oxygen demand (five-day, 20° C.).
(2) 
Ten thousand milligrams per liter suspended solids.
(3) 
Three-tenths milligrams per liter mercury.
(4) 
Four-tenths milligrams per liter tetrachloroethylene.
(5) 
One hundred milligrams per liter petroleum hydrocarbons (monthly average).
(6) 
One hundred fifty milligrams per liter hydrocarbons (maximum instantaneous).
B. 
No person shall discharge any wastewater:
(1) 
Having a temperature higher than 40° C. (104° F.) or which, on contact with water or sewage, will generate heat in excess of 40° C. (104° F.); or
(2) 
Containing materials which exert or cause unusual concentrations of dissolved solids such as, but not limited to, sodium chloride and sodium sulfate.
C. 
Any person diluting wastewater for the purpose of meeting the above limitations shall be considered in violation of this chapter.
D. 
A person/user and/or industrial user may not introduce into the WNYMUA POTW any pollutant(s) at a flow rate and/or pollutant concentration which will cause interference in the operation of the POTW.
E. 
A person/user and/or industrial user may not introduce into the WNYMUA POTW petroleum oil, nonbiodegradable oil or products of mineral oil origin in amounts that will cause interference or a pass-through at the POTW.
F. 
A person/user and/or industrial user may not introduce into the WNYMUA POTW any pollutant(s) which cause a pass-through and/or interference.
G. 
A person/user and/or industrial user may not introduce into the WNYMUA POTW any pollutant(s), including oxygen demanding pollutant(s), discharged at a flow rate and/or pollutant concentration which will cause interference with the POTW.
Holding tank waste shall be discharged into the community sewer only at point with approved permits for this type and quantity of pollutant.
Disposal of stormwater, groundwater, rainwater, street drainage, subsurface drainage or yard drainage directly or indirectly to any community sewer will not be allowed unless a permit is issued by the Authority. The Authority may approve such discharge only when no reasonable alternative is available or such water is determined to constitute a pollution hazard. If approval is granted for discharge of such water into the community sewers, the user shall pay the applicable wastewater service charge and fees and meet such other conditions that may be required by the Authority.
Unpolluted water, including but not limited to cooling water, process water or blow-down from cooling towers or evaporative coolers or any other unpolluted water will not be permitted to be discharged through direct or indirect connection to a community sewer without written approval of the Authority. The Authority may approve the discharge of such water only when no reasonable alternative method of disposal is available or such alternative is unacceptable. If approval is granted for the discharge of such water, the user shall pay the applicable wastewater service charges and fees and shall meet such other conditions as required by the Authority.
No person shall discharge any substances directly into a manhole or other opening in a community sewer other than through a building sewer approved by the Authority. However, upon written application by the user and payment of the applicable wastewater service charges and fees, the Authority may grant permission for such direct discharges at approved locations.
A. 
If any wastes are discharged or are proposed to be discharged to the Authority's sewer which contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in this chapter and which, in the judgment of the Authority, may have a deleterious effect upon the sewage works, processes, equipment or receiving waters or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the Authority may:
(1) 
Reject the wastes;
(2) 
Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge to the public sewers;
(3) 
Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge; and/or
(4) 
Require payment to cover the added cost of handling and treating the wastes.
B. 
If the Authority permits the pretreatment or equalization of waste flows, the design and installation of the plants and equipment shall be subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances and laws.
