No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any stormwater,
surface water, groundwater, water from sump pumps, roof runoff, subsurface
drainage, cooling water or unpolluted industrial process water into
any public or private sanitary sewer system or individual sanitary
sewage disposal facility.
Stormwater, cooling water and all other unpolluted process water
or drainage shall be discharged to such sewers as are specifically
designated as storm sewers or to a natural outlet approved by the
Department of Public Works.
Except as set forth in Article VI herein, as applicable to industrial users, no person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any of the following described wastes or waters to any public or private sanitary sewer system or individual sanitary sewage disposal facility:
A.
Any liquid or vapor having a temperature higher than 150° F.
B.
Any water or waste which may contain more than 100 parts per million,
by weight, of fat, oil or grease.
C.
Any gasoline, benzene, naphtha, fuel oil, petroleum hydrocarbon-based
product or other flammable or explosive liquid, solid or gas.
D.
Any improperly shredded garbage.
E.
Any ashes, cinders, sand, mud, straw, shavings, metal, glass, rags,
feathers, tar, plastics, wood, paunch manure or any other solid or
viscous substance capable of causing obstruction to the flow in sewers
or other interference with the proper operation of the sewage works.
F.
Any waters or wastes having a pH lower than 5.0 or higher than 10.0
or having other corrosive property capable of causing damage or hazard
to structures, equipment and personnel of the sewage works or sewers.
G.
Any waters or wastes containing a toxic or poisonous substance in
sufficient quantity to injure or interfere with any sewage treatment
process or to constitute a hazard to humans or animals or create any
hazard in the receiving waters of the sewage treatment plant.
H.
Any waters or wastes containing suspended solids of such character
and quantity that unusual attention or expense is required to handle
such materials at the sewage treatment plant.
I.
Any noxious or malodorous gas or substance capable of creating a
public nuisance.
Grease interceptors and removal/retention equipment shall be
installed on the process-discharge piping from all restaurants/fast-food
facilities as required and specified by wastewater discharge permits
issued by the Wayne Township Pretreatment Program.
The connection to the sanitary sewer collection system of any
device used to process, dilute, settle, filter or otherwise treat
petroleum hydrocarbon-based products and/or wastes is strictly prohibited.
A.
The admission of any of the following into the public sewers shall
be subject to the review and approval of the Superintendent of Water
and Sewers:
B.
Where necessary in the opinion of the Superintendent of Water and
Sewers and the Township Engineer, the owner shall provide, at his/her
own expense, such preliminary treatment as may be necessary to:
(1)
Reduce the carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand to 300 parts per
million and the suspended solids to 350 parts per million by weight;
or
(2)
Reduce objectionable characteristics or constituents so that they do not exceed the maximum limits provided in § 159-35; or
(3)
Control the quantities and rates of discharge of such waters or wastes.
C.
Plans, specifications and any other pertinent information relating
to proposed preliminary treatment facilities shall be submitted for
the approval of the Superintendent of Water and Sewers and the Township
Engineer. Construction of such facilities shall not be commenced until
approval is obtained in writing.
Where preliminary treatment facilities are provided for any
waters or wastes, they shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory
and effective operation by the owner at his/her expense.
A.
When required by the Superintendent of Water and Sewers, the owner
of any property served by a sewer lateral carrying industrial wastes
shall install a suitable control manhole in the service connection
to facilitate observation, sampling and measuring of the wastes. Such
manhole, when required, shall be accessible and safely located and
shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the Engineer.
B.
The manhole shall be installed by the owner at his/her expense and
shall be maintained by him so as to be safe and accessible at all
times.
All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in §§ 159-18, 159-35 and 159-38 shall be determined in accordance with recognized standard methods for the examination of water and sewage and shall be determined at the control manhole provided for in § 159-40 or upon suitable samples taken at said control manhole. If a special manhole has not been required, the control manhole shall be considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in the street sewer to the point at which the sewer lateral is connected. The effluent from all preliminary treatment facilities shall be sampled and analyzed by a New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection certified lab, with costs of same borne by the owner, on a frequency to be determined by the Department of Public Works, Division of Water and Sewers; and the results of said analyses shall be submitted to the Department of Public Works, Division of Water and Sewers.
No provision of this article shall be construed to prevent a
special agreement or arrangement between the Township and an industrial
concern whereby industrial waste of unusual strength or character
may be accepted by the Township for treatment, subject to additional
payment therefor by the industrial concern.
