Terms and conditions as may be required and
imposed by the Superintendent in the issuance of the permit are as
follows:
A. A limitation upon the average and maximum volume of
wastewater constituents and characteristics and the rate of flow permitted
from the premises.
B. The installation and maintenance by the permittee,
at his own expense, of facilities or equipment for intermittent or
continuous measurement of sewage, industrial wastes or other wastes
discharged from the premises into a public sewer.
C. The installation and maintenance by the permittee,
at his own expense, of detention tanks or other facilities or equipment
for reducing the maximum rates of discharge of sewage to such a percentage
of the twenty-four-hour rate as may be required by the Superintendent.
D. The installation and maintenance by the permittee,
at his own expense, of such pretreatment facilities as may be required
by the Superintendent.
E. The installation and maintenance by the permittee,
at his own expense, of a suitable control or sampling manhole or manholes
in any sewer discharging to a public sewer and carrying such sewage.
F. The installation and maintenance by the permittee,
at his own expense, of grease, oil and sand interceptors, separators
or traps that are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes
containing such substances in excessive quantities or any flammable
waste or other harmful ingredients.
G. The submission to and approval by the Superintendent
of the plans for any of the facilities or equipment required to be
installed and maintained by the permittee.
H. Such other terms and conditions as may be necessary
to protect the sewer system and carry out the intent and provisions
of this chapter, including but limited to a requirement that, subsequent
to the commencement of operation of any pretreatment facilities, periodic
reports shall be made by the permittee to the Superintendent setting
forth adequate data upon which the acceptability of the sewage, industrial
wastes or other wastes, after treatment, may be determined.
I. Where pretreatment or flow-equalizing facilities are
provided for any water or wastes, they shall be maintained continuously
in satisfactory and effective operation by the permittee at his own
expense.
J. A violation by the permittee of the permit shall be
a cause for revocation or suspension of the permit.
K. A unit charge or schedule of user charges, surcharges
or other fees for the wastewater to be discharged to a Town sanitary
sewer.
L. Specifications for monitoring programs which may include
sampling locations, frequency of sampling, number, types and standards
for tests and reporting schedule.
O. Requirements for maintaining and retaining plant records
relating to wastewater discharge as specified by the Town and affording
the Town access thereto.
P. Requirements for notification of the Town of any new
introduction of wastewater constituents or any substantial change
in the volume or character of the wastewater constituents being introduced
into the wastewater pretreatment system.
Q. Requirements for notification of slug discharges.
R. Other conditions as deemed appropriate by the Superintendent
to ensure compliance with this chapter.
All measurements, tests and analysis of the
characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in
this chapter shall be determined in accordance with the requirements
of 40 CFR 136, as amended, and shall be determined at the control
manhole or, if the point of connection with the public sewer is inaccessible,
control manholes shall be considered to be the nearest suitable ones
upstream and downstream in the public sewer from the point at which
the building sewer is connected. Sampling shall be carried out by
customarily accepted methods to reflect the effect of constituents
upon the sewage works and to determine the existence of hazards to
life, limb and property. The particular analyses involved will determine
whether a twenty-four-hour composite of all discharges of a user are
appropriate or whether grab samples should be taken.
Within 90 days following the date for final
compliance with applicable pretreatment standards or, in the case
of a new source, following commencement of the introduction of wastewater
into the Town sanitary sewer, any user subject to pretreatment standards
and requirements shall submit to the Superintendent a report indicating
the nature and concentration of all pollutants in the discharge from
the regulated process which are limited by pretreatment standards
and requirements and the average and maximum daily flow for these
process units in the user's facility which are limited by such pretreatment
standards or requirements. The report shall state whether the applicable
pretreatment standards or requirements are being met on a consistent
basis and, if not, what additional operation and maintenance and/or
pretreatment is necessary to bring the user to compliance with the
applicable pretreatment standards or requirements. This statement
shall be signed by an authorized representative of the user and certified
by a duly licensed professional engineer.
Within nine months of the promulgation of a national categorical pretreatment standard, the wastewater discharge permit of users subject to such standards shall be revised to require compliance with such standard within the time frame prescribed by such standard. Where a user becomes subject to a national categorical pretreatment discharge permit as required by §
173-23, the user shall apply for a wastewater discharge permit within 180 days after the promulgation of the applicable national categorical pretreatment standard. In addition, the user with an existing wastewater discharge permit shall submit to the Supervisor within 180 days after the promulgation of an applicable federal categorical pretreatment standard the information required by §
173-24B(7) and
(8).
Permits shall be issued for a specified time period, not to exceed three years. The user shall apply for permit reissuance a minimum of 180 days prior to the expiration of the user's existing permit. The terms and conditions of the permit may be subject to modification by the Town during its term as the limitations or requirements prescribed in Article
V are altered or if other just cause exists. Any changes or new conditions in the permit shall include a reasonable time schedule for compliance.
Wastewater discharge permits are issued to a
specific user for a specific operation. A wastewater discharge permit
shall not be reassigned or transferred or sold to a new owner, new
user, different premises or a new or changed operation without the
approval of the Superintendent. Any succeeding owner or user shall
also comply with the terms and conditions of the existing permit.
