Specific limitations on wastewater discharges.

Table I represents the maximum concentration of specific pollutants for wastewater discharges to the treatment works by any person. Dilution of any wastewater discharge for the purpose of satisfying these requirements is a violation of this chapter. No user shall discharge wastewater with pollutant levels exceeding the maximum concentration in Table I, unless a variance has been granted by an industrial user discharge permit pursuant to the permit provisions of this chapter.

	Table I Specific Pollutant Maximum Permissible Concentration (mg/l)
	Parameter	Maximum Concentration From Industrial Connections to POTW (mg/l)
	Arsenic (As)	0.01
	Cadmium	0.01
	Chromium	0.30
	Chromium Hex. (Cr(H)	0.30
	Copper (Cu)	0.31
	Cyanide (CN)	Not detectable
	Lead (Pb)	0.05
	Mercury (Hg)	Not detectable
	Nickel (Ni)	1.65
	Oil and grease (O/G)	30.0
	pH	Greater than 6.0 but less than 9.0 standard units
	Petroleum hydrocarbons	15.0
	Phenols	0.09
	Silver (Ag)	0.05
	Total toxic organic (TTO)	3.7
	Total halogenated organics	5.0
	Zinc	0.30

All users will meet the following compatible pollutant limits unless specified in writing by the Township of Pohatcong:

	Parameter	Max Concentration From Industrial Connections to POTW (mg/l)
	Biological oxygen demand (BOD5)	250.0
	Total suspended solids (TSS)	250.0
	TKN	40.0
	Ammonia nitrogen	25.0

All concentration for metallic substances are for "total" metals unless indicated otherwise.

All parameters with a "not detectable" (ND) limit should be analyzed down to the NJDEP recommended quantitation levels.

The above-listed concentrations and characteristics may be altered and/or explained as necessary to meet treatment or sludge disposal requirements or in the event of cumulative overload of the Phillipsburg Sewage Treatment Plant.

The admission into the treatment works any water or wastes having a five-day BOD in excess of 250 mg/l, on a twenty-four-hour composite basis, or for any grab sample having a BOD in excess of 400 mg/l, will be subject to review by the approval authority. Where necessary in the opinion of the approval authority, the owner shall provide at his own expense, such pretreatment as may be required to reduce the BOD to meet the above requirements.

(7)

The permittee will be required to monitor for TTOs for three successive months at the commencement of said permit. Results shall be submitted along with the second required quarterly monitoring report as noted within the permittee's Effluent Guidelines and Monitoring Requirements Table. If all three successive monthly sampling analyses fall below the quarterly limit for TTOs stated within the final pretreatment permit, the permittee may apply for an exemption of the TTO test. Should the permittee qualify for an exemption of the TTO test, the permittee will remain responsible to continue sampling for TTOs on a quarterly basis per the reporting dates stated within the final industrial pretreatment permit, until approval concerning exemption of the TTO test is granted by this township.

(8)

If the permittee does not qualify for exemption of the TTO test by not achieving all three successive monthly sampling analysis below the quarterly limit for TTOs stated within the final industrial pretreatment permit, the permittee must continue to sample for TTOs on a quarterly basis thereafter until the expiration of the industrial pretreatment permit.

(9)

The above-stated conditions are applicable to all facilities with the exemption of hospitals, medical centers, learning institutions, and all laboratories (commercial, industrial, research, etc.) which are required to test for TTOs on a quarterly basis during the life on the industrial pretreatment permit. Food industries are required to submit only two successive monthly sampling analysis. All remaining conditions remain applicable as noted. Furthermore, all permitted industries governed by Federal Categorical Standards may be subject to a TTO Management Plan.

(10)

All facilities having multiple point discharges may composite for their TTO samples based upon flow percentage from each of the multiple point discharge sampling locations. Acrolein, acrylonitrile, and dioxin are generally exempt parameters pertaining to all TTO sampling and analysis. However, the township does reserve the right to require analytical data on such parameters if necessary.

Federal Categorical Pretreatment Standards. Upon promulgation of a Federal Categorical Pretreatment Standard for a particular industrial subcategory, the Federal Standard, if more stringent than limitations imposed under this chapter for sources in that subcategory, shall immediately supersede these limitations, and affected industrial users shall comply with the stated deadlines. The approval authority shall make reasonable attempts to notify affected industrial users of the applicable reporting requirements under 40 CFR 403.12, but a failure to notify does not relieve such industries of the obligation to comply with such reporting requirements.

Modification of Federal Categorical Pretreatment Standards. If the township's wastewater treatment system achieves consistent removal of pollutants limited by the Federal Pretreatment Standards, the township may apply to the Director of the NJDEP Division of Water Resources for modification of specific limits in the Federal Pretreatment Standards. If the requirements contained in 40 CFR 403.7 are fulfilled and prior approval from the Director of the NJDEP Division of Water Resources is obtained, the township may modify pollutant discharge limits in the Federal Pretreatment Standards.

State requirements. State requirements and limitations on discharges shall apply where they are more stringent than this chapter or the federal requirements.

Township's right of revision. The township reserves the right to establish more stringent limitations or requirements on discharges to the treatment works than are contained in this chapter.

Excessive discharge. No industrial user shall increase the use of process water or in any way otherwise dilute a discharge as a substitute for adequate treatment to comply with the Federal Categorical Pretreatment Standards or any other pollutant-specific limitation developed by the township or the state.

Local requirements. Any participant's requirements and limitations on discharges which are more stringent than this chapter or the federal requirements shall apply to discharges within their respective service areas.

Delegation. A participant who can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the approval authority that they have in place requirements equal to or more stringent than those set forth herein and the institutional capabilities to administer same may request that this program be delegated to them. A participant's requirements must maintain conformity with those requirements set forth herein and may be subject to modifications and addendum upon review. The approval authority shall, once satisfied as to the participant's ability to run the program, negotiate a delegation agreement and present it to the Board of Commissioners for approval.

§ 220-28 Control of prohibited wastes.

Regulatory actions. If wastewaters violating the permit conditions or restrictions imposed under § 220-27 of this chapter are discharged into the treatment works, the approval authority may take any of the following actions:

Prohibit the discharge of such wastewater.

Require an industrial user to demonstrate that in-plant modifications will reduce or eliminate the discharge so as to be in conformance with this chapter.

Require pretreatment, including storage facilities or flow equalization, necessary to ensure compliance with this chapter.

Require the discharger to pay the costs, shown to be resulting from a violation of this permit, incurred by township for any damages, including engineering, legal and administrative costs.

Accidental discharges.

Each industrial user shall provide protection from accidental discharge of prohibited materials or other substances regulated by this chapter. If required by the approval authority, facilities to prevent accidental discharge of prohibited materials shall be provided and maintained at the owner's or industrial user's own cost and expense. Upon request, detailed plans showing facilities and operating procedures to provide this protection shall be submitted to the approval authority for review and comment prior to construction of the facility. All existing industrial users, where required, shall complete such a plan within 120 days of being notified by the township the need for such a plan. No industrial user who commences contribution to the POTW after the effective date of this chapter shall be permitted to introduce pollutants into the system until accidental discharge prevention procedures have been reviewed by the approval authority. Review of such plans and operating procedures shall not relieve the industrial user from the responsibility of modifying his/her facility as necessary to meet the requirements of this chapter.

Telephone notice. In the case of an accidental discharge of prohibited materials or other substances under this chapter, or if for any reason an industrial user does not comply or will be unable to comply with any prohibition or limitation in this chapter, the industrial user responsible for such discharge shall immediately telephone and notify the township of the incident. The notification shall include the location of discharge, type of waste, concentration and volume. Furthermore, such industrial user shall take immediate action to contain and minimize the accidental discharge to the POTW so as to prevent interference with the treatment process and/or damage to the treatment works.

Written notice. Within five working days following an accidental or noncomplying discharge under this section, the industrial user shall submit to the approval authority a detailed written report describing the date, time and cause of the discharge, corrective action taken at the time of the discharge, and the measures to be taken by the industrial user to prevent similar future occurrences. Such notification shall not relieve the industrial user of any expenses, loss, damage, or other liability which may be incurred as a result of damage to the POTW, fish kills, or any other damage to person or property; nor shall such notification relieve the industrial user of any fines, civil penalties, or other liability which may be imposed by this chapter or other applicable law.

Notice to employees. All industrial users shall develop an emergency notification procedure. A notice shall be permanently posted on the industrial user's bulletin board or other prominent place advising employees of the responsible individual whom to notify in the event of an accidental or noncomplying discharge. Employers shall ensure that all employees who may cause such a discharge are advised of the emergency notification procedures.

Notification of hazardous waste discharges.

All industrial users shall notify the POTW, the EPA Regional Waste Management Division Director, and state hazardous waste authorities in writing of any discharge into the POTW of a substance, which, if otherwise disposed of, would be hazardous waste under 40 CFR Part 261. Such notification must include the name of the hazardous waste as set forth in 40 CFR Part 261, the EPA hazardous waste number, and the type of discharge (continuous, batch or other), an identification of the hazardous constituents contained in the wastes, an estimation of the mass and concentration of such constituents in the waste stream discharged during that calendar month, and an estimation of the mass constituents in the waste stream expected to be discharged during the following twelve months. All notifications must take place within 30 days of the effective date of this chapter. Industrial users who commence discharging after the effective date of this chapter shall provide the notification no later than 30 days after the discharge of the hazardous waste. Any notification under this subsection need be submitted only once for each hazardous waste discharged. The notification requirement in this section does not apply to pollutants already reported under the self-monitoring requirements.

Industrial users are exempt from the above requirements during a calendar month in which they discharge no more than 15 kilograms of hazardous wastes, unless the wastes are acute hazardous wastes as specified in 40 CFR 261.30(d) and 261.33(e). Discharge of more than 15 kilograms of nonacute hazardous wastes in a calendar month or of any quantity of acute hazardous wastes as specified in 40 CFR 261.30(d) and 261.33(e), requires a one-time notification. Subsequent months during which the industrial user discharges additional quantities of such hazardous waste do not require additional notification.

In the case of new regulations under Section 3001 of RCRA identifying additional characteristics of hazardous waste or listing an additional substance as a hazardous waste, the industrial user must notify the POTW, the EPA Regional Waste Management Division Director, and state hazardous waste authorities of the discharge such substance within 90 days of the effective date of such regulations.

In the case of any notification made under this rule, the industrial user shall certify that it has a program in place to reduce the volume and toxicity of hazardous wastes generated to the degree it has determined to be economically practical.

Annual public notification. The township shall annually publish in the local newspaper a list of the industrial users which, during the previous 12 months, were significantly violating [as defined by 40 CFR 308.8(f)(2)(vii)] applicable categorical pretreatment standards or other pretreatment requirements. The notification shall also summarize any enforcement actions taken against such industrial user during the same 12 months.

§ 220-29 Industrial discharge permits.

Existing major industrial users. Within 60 calendar days after the effective date of this chapter, or at such time as the system to which their discharge ties into the township's treatment works, whichever is later, major industrial users shall apply for an industrial discharge permit. Such application shall be made by completing a form obtained from the approval authority. The terms of such permit may be modified by the approval authority after issuance and a reasonable time provided for compliance with such modified terms. Violations of the terms of such permits are violations of this chapter.

New major industrial users. New major industrial users may not connect to treatment works of the township unless an industrial discharge permit has been obtained. Such users shall apply for an industrial discharge permit at least 120 calendar days before connecting to such treatment works. A written certification from the appropriate federal and state regulatory agencies as to whether the applicant is included within particular industrial categorical or subcategorical for purposes of industrial pretreatment standards may be obtained in the event the industry and township cannot agree to the classification.

Categorical industrial users. Within 90 calendar days of the adoption by a federal or state regulatory agency of a categorical pretreatment standard, existing industrial users subject to such standards shall submit an application for an industrial discharge permit as required under this section of this chapter. Industrial users subject to categorical pretreatment standards shall also submit a baseline monitoring report containing information required under federal and state industrial pretreatment regulations in the form required by the approval authority. The permit application and baseline monitoring report shall be reviewed as a condition of the industrial permit if the applicable categorical standards are not being met.

Permit application procedure.

Upon receipt by the approval authority of necessary information (in the form of a completed permit application) and the permit application fee, the application shall be reviewed and a permit prepared for approval. A copy of duly issued permits shall be forwarded to the participant where the industrial user is located.

Permit applications submitted by corporations shall be signed by a corporate officer or other authorized executive officers.

Notification of violation and show-cause hearing.

Whenever the approval authority finds that any person has violated or is violating this chapter, the approval authority may serve upon person a written notice stating the nature of the violation and providing a reasonable time, not to exceed 30 days, for the satisfactory correction thereof. Such notice of violation is not a condition precedent to legal action under Subsection C of this section.

If the violation is not corrected by timely compliance, the approval authority may order any person who causes, or allows an unauthorized discharge, or show why service should not be terminated. A notice shall be served on the offending party to show cause why the proposed enforcement action should not be taken. The notice of the hearing shall be served personally or by registered or certified mail (return receipts requested) at least 10 days before the hearing. Services may be made on any agent or officer of a corporation. Such show cause hearing is not a condition precedent to legal action under Subsection C of this section.

A hearing officer designated by the approval authority shall conduct the hearing and take the evidence. Such hearing officer is empowered to:

Issue notices of hearings requesting the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of evidence relevant to any matter involved in any such hearing.
