No person shall discharge into the POTW's treatment
plant any hauled wastewater containing hazardous wastes. The Chief
Operator has the discretion to refuse to accept any hauled wastewater
load based on the type, concentration, or quantity of pollutants,
or on the capability or capacity of the POTW to treat the wastewater.
All hauled wastewater discharges must comply with all pretreatment
standards and pretreatment requirements.
No person may discharge hauled wastewater to
any locations except those on the POTW treatment plant site designated
by the POTW as hauled wastewater receiving stations, or those locations
off the treatment plant site at which the POTW has given the hauler
specific permission to discharge. The Chief Operator also may restrict
hauled wastewater discharges to certain times, to certain days of
the week, or to certain seasons of the year.
Each discharge of hauled wastewater shall be
made only with the approval of the Chief Operator. The wastewater
hauler shall contact the POTW to obtain permission to discharge hauled
wastewater containing materials other than sanitary sewage prior to
delivering the wastewater load to the POTW. The Chief Operator may
require inspection, sampling, and analysis of each load of hauled
wastewater prior to the discharge of the load. Any costs associated
with such inspection, sampling, and analysis shall be paid by the
wastewater hauler.
The POTW shall bill wastewater haulers and/or
wastewater generators for dumping fees associated with the discharge
of hauled wastewater, pursuant to a schedule of rates as set by the
Special Joint Committee or municipalities. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
unless and until Tompkins County conveys ownership of its hauled wastewater
receiving station to the municipalities, the POTW shall bill Tompkins
County for all discharges of septage and grease. All dumping fees
shall include a fee for the cost of solids disposal.
