NOTES:
1As determined from a composite sample taken from the sewer users daily discharge over a typical operation or production day, except for hexavalent chromium at metal limits are in terms of "total metal."
Exceptions to these limits may be considered and allowed within the requirements contained in Article X, Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permits, of this chapter.
O. 
Any food-canning wastes except after pretreatment approved by the Village Board or Engineer and conducted by the owner to remove all bulk solids and particles greater than one-eighth-inch size in any dimension.
P. 
Any wastewater with objectionable color which is not removed in the treatment process, such as, but not limited to, dye wastes and vegetable tanning solutions.
Q. 
Unusual flow rate or concentration of wastes, constituting slugs, except by Industrial Wastewater Permit.
R. 
Any wastewater which causes a hazard to human life or which creates a public nuisance, either by itself or in combination, in any way, with other wastes.
S.

A. 
Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided when the above set limits for those substances are exceeded, or when, in the opinion of the Village, they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing grease in excessive amounts or any flammable wastes, sand and other harmful ingredients; except that such interceptors shall not be required for private living quarters or dwelling units. All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Village and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
B. 
Grease and oil interceptors shall be constructed of impervious materials capable of withstanding abrupt and extreme changes in temperature. They shall be of substantial construction, watertight, and equipped with easily removable covers, which when bolted in place, shall be gastight and watertight.
A. 
The admission into the public sewers of any waters or wastes containing the following shall be subject to the review and approval by the Engineer:
(1) 
A five-day biochemical oxygen demand greater than 300 parts per million;
(2) 
Containing more than 350 parts per million of suspended solids;
(3) 
Containing more than 15 parts per million of chlorine requirement;
(4) 
Containing more than 20 mg/l of total phosphorus;

Where necessary in the opinion of the Engineer, the owner shall provide, at his expense, such preliminary treatment as may be necessary to:
(1) 
Reduce the biochemical oxygen demand to 300 parts per million and suspended solids to 350 parts per million by weight;
(2) 
Reduce the chlorine requirements to 15 parts per million;
(3) 
Reduce the total phosphorus to 20 mg/l and the total Kjeldahl nitrogen to 85 mg/l;
(4) 
Reduce objectionable characteristics or constituents to within the maximum limits provided for in § 163-40; or
(5) 
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 Engineer and Village Board, and no construction of such facilities shall be commenced until said approvals are obtained in writing. Failure to comply with one or more of the remedial procedures as required by the Engineer will constitute a violation of this chapter.
When required by the Engineer, the owner of any property served by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install a suitable control manhole in the building sewer to facilitate observation, sampling, and measurement of the wastes. Such manhole, when required, shall be accessibly and safely located and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the Engineer. The manhole shall be installed by the owner at his 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 § 163-40 and § 163-43 shall be determined in accordance with Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater upon suitable samples taken at the control manhole provided for in § 163-45. In the event that no special manhole has been required, the control manhole shall be considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in the public sewer to the point at which the building sewer is connected.
All industrial establishments contributing or intending to contribute industrial wastes to the public sewers shall comply with the following provisions:
A. 
Users of the Village sewers and wastewater treatment plant shall comply with the General Pretreatment Regulations (40 CFR 403) and any amendments thereto.
B. 
Disposal into the public sewers of any pollutant by any person is unlawful except in compliance with federal standards promulgated pursuant to the FWPCA.
C. 
Permission shall be granted to authorized employees of the EPA and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) to enter properties of contributing industries for the purpose of inspection, observation, measurement, sampling and testing.
D. 
All industrial establishments, as a prerequisite for authorization for disposal into the public sewer, must provide information to the Village describing wastewater constituents and characteristics and the type of industrial activity involved.
E. 
Major contributing industries and other contributing industries, as deemed necessary, shall file periodic reports with the Village on the constituents and characteristics of their wastewaters. Frequency of reporting and information to be contained in such reports shall be determined by the Village.
All of the preceding standards are to apply at the point where the industrial wastes are discharged into the public sanitary sewerage system, and any chemical or mechanical corrective treatment required must be accomplished to practical completion before the wastes reach that point. The laboratory methods used in the examination of all industrial wastes shall be those set forth in the latest edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater published by the American Public Health Association. However, alternate methods for the analysis of industrial wastes may be used subject to mutual agreement between the Village Board and the producer of such wastes. The frequency and duration of the sampling of any industrial waste shall not be less than once every three months for a twenty-four-hour period. However, more frequent and longer periods may be required at the discretion of the Village Board.
A. 
Licenses and application. The discharge of trucked or hauled wastes into the Village sewer system and public sewers tributary thereto will be permitted only with the written approval (license) of the Village. Applicants for such license shall apply on a form provided by the Village. These forms may require information such as vehicle specifications, vehicle license number, vehicle color, NYSDEC permits issued under 6 NYCRR Part 364, approximate annual septage volume expected, service area, and any other information that the Village may require to determine whether the trucked or hauled wastes could adversely impact the sewage treatment plant. The application shall be accompanied by a fee prescribed by the Village not to exceed $100. The licensee of trucked or hauled wastes will also be charged a fee for each dumping in accordance with Article 12. The dumping fee shall be paid prior to dumping.
B. 
Concurrent requirements. The applicant for a license to truck or haul wastes shall be the owner of the vehicle or vehicles to be used for such discharge. Any false or misleading statement in any license application shall be grounds for invalidating the license. All licenses issued by the Village for this purpose shall be for one year. The licensee shall also be duly permitted by the NYSDEC under 6 NYCRR Part 364 ("364 permit"). If, for any reason, the 364 permit is revoked, the 364 permit lapses or becomes invalid, then the license issued under this article shall become invalid immediately. All acts performed in connection with the license shall be subject to the inspection and regulations, as established by the Village, the terms and conditions of the license and all local and general Codes ordinances, and regulations which are now or may come into effect, and such license may be suspended or revoked, at any time, by the Village for willful, continued or persistent violation thereof.
C. 
Dumping location and timing. The Village may require discharging at only certain locations within the sewage treatment plant, and only at certain times, and on only certain days of the week or seasons of the year as shall be stated on said license or as may be relocated by the Village, after appropriate notice. The time and conditions for permissible discharge shall be as set forth on the license, or as may be revised by the Village, after appropriate notice.
D. 
Notification of dumping. Each discharge of trucked or hauled wastes shall be made only with the approval of the Village. The Village may require inspection, sampling and analysis of each load prior to the discharge of a load. Any extra costs associated with such inspection, sampling and analysis shall be paid by the licensee.
