A.
No stormwater, surface water runoff from surrounding
land, footing drain, sump pumps, roof water runoff, groundwater, cooling
waters or unpolluted industrial process waters shall be discharged
to the public sewer system from any residential, commercial, industrial
or institutional establishment which is constructed after the formal
adoption of this chapter.
B.
All existing residential, commercial, industrial or
institutional establishments which now discharge such waters to the
public sewer system shall cease and desist from such practice within
a period of one year after official notice to do so by the Village
Board. The official notice shall identify the particular classification
of unpolluted waters as described above, which must be discontinued
from the public sewer system.
Stormwater and all other unpolluted drainage
shall be discharged to such sewers as are specifically designated
as storm sewers, or to a watercourse approved by the Village. Industrial
cooling water or unpolluted process waters may be discharged, upon
approval of the Village, to a storm sewer or natural outlet.
Except as hereinafter provided, no person shall
discharge or cause to be discharged any of the following described
waters or wastes to any public sanitary sewer:
A.
Any liquid or vapor having a temperature higher than
150° F. (65° C.) or that would cause the temperature of the
treatment plant influent to exceed 104° F. (40° C.).
B.
Any waters or wastes which contain grease or oil or
other substance that will solidify or become discernibly viscous at
temperatures between 32° F. and 150° F.
C.
Any waters or wastes containing fats, wax, grease
or oils, whether emulsified or not, exceeding an average of 50 parts
per million (417 pounds per million gallons) ether-soluble matter.
D.
Any solids, liquids or gases which, by reason of their
nature or quantity, are or may be sufficient, either alone or by interaction
with other substances, to cause a fire or an explosion or be injurious,
in any way, to the sewage treatment plant, or to the operation of
the sewage treatment plant. At no time shall both of two successive
readings on a flame type explosion hazard meter, at the point of discharge
into the system (or at any other point in the system) be more than
25% percent nor any single reading be more than 40% percent of the
lower explosive limit (LEL) of the meter. Unless explicitly allowable
by a written permit, prohibited materials include, but are not limited
to, gasoline, kerosene, naphtha, benzene, toluene, xylene, ethers,
alcohols, carbides, hydrides and sulfides, and any other substance
which the Village, the state or the EPA has determined to be a fire
hazard or hazard to the sewage treatment plant.
E.
Any noxious or malodorous gas such as hydrogen sulfide,
sulfur dioxide or nitrous oxide or other substance which, either singly
or by interaction with other wastes, is capable of creating a public
nuisance or hazard to life or of preventing entry into sewers for
their maintenance and repair.
F.
Any pollutants which result in the presence of toxic
gases, vapors or fumes within the sewage treatment plant in a quantity
that may cause acute worker health and safety problems.
G.
Any garbage that has not been properly shredded. The
installation and operation of any garbage grinder equipped with a
motor of 3/4 horsepower or greater shall be subject to the review
and approval of the Village.

of causing obstruction to the flow of the sewers or other interference
with the proper operation of the sewage system.
I.
Any waters or wastes, acid and alkaline in reaction,
having corrosive properties capable of causing damage or hazard to
structures, equipment and personnel of the sewage system. Free acids
and alkalies must be neutralized at all times within a permissible
pH range of 6.0 to 9.5.
J.
Any cyanides in excess of two parts per million by
weight as CN.
K.
Any radioactive wastes or isotopes of such half-life
or concentration as may exceed limits established by the Village in
compliance with applicable state or federal regulations.
L.
Any waters or wastes that for a duration of 15 minutes
have a concentration greater than five times that of normal sewage
as measured by suspended solids and BOD and/or which are discharged
continuously at a rate exceeding 1,000 gallons per minute, except
by special permit. Normal sanitary sewer shall be construed to fall

septic tank or cesspool or the discharge or effluent from any air
conditioning machine or refrigeration unit.
N.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged
any waters or wastes containing a toxic or poisonous substance, a
high chlorine demand or suspended solids in sufficient quantity to
injure or interfere with any sewage treatment process, constitute
a hazard to humans or animals or create any toxic effect in the receiving
waters or cause the effluent of the Village of Canastota sewer treatment
plant to exceed SPDES discharge limits or pretreatment standards.
Such toxic substances shall be limited to the average concentrations
listed hereinafter in the sewage at its point of entry to the public
sewers, and at no time shall the maximum instantaneous concentration
entering the public sewers exceed three times the average concentration.
If concentrations listed are exceeded, individual establishments will
be subject to control by the Engineer in volume and concentration
of wastes discharged.

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.
Any wastewater with a closed cup flashpoint of less
than 140° F. or 60° C. using the test methods specified in
40 CFR Part 261.21.
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.
Where installed, all grease, oil and sand interceptors
shall be maintained by the owner at his expense in continuously efficient
operation at all times and shall be readily accessible and open to
inspection by the Village at any time.
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;

B.
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.
Where preliminary treatment or flow-equalizing
facilities are provided for any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained
continuously in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner
at his expense.
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.
