A.
Grease, oil and/or sand interceptors or retainers
shall be installed by the industrial user at its own expense when,
in the opinion of the JRSB, such are necessary for the proper handling
of liquid wastes containing grease, oils and/or sand in excessive
amounts and/or any flammable wastes and/or such other harmful ingredients.
Such interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the
JRSB and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible for
cleaning by industrial users and/or for inspection by the JRSB.
B.
Where installed, all grease, oil and/or sand interceptors
shall be maintained by the industrial user at its own expense and
shall be kept in continuous and efficient operation at all times.
C.
Prior to the JRSB approving any industrial source, the admission of any materials into its sewers as set forth in § 137-26B of this law, the JRSB shall direct the industrial user causing admission of any such materials to construct, install and operate, at its own expense, such preliminary treatment plants and/or facilities as may be required in order to:
D.
No preliminary treatment plant and/or facility shall
be constructed or operated unless all plans, specifications, technical
operating data and/or other information pertinent to its proposed
operation and/or maintenance shall conform to all JRSB, EPA and New
York State Department of Environmental Conservation standards.
E.
All such preliminary treatment facilities as required
by the law shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory and effective
operating condition by the industrial user or person operating and
maintaining the facility served thereby and at the industrial user's
sole expense.
F.
No provision contained in the law shall be construed
to prevent or prohibit a separate or special contract or agreement
between the JRSB and any industrial user whereby industrial waste
and/or material of unusual strength, character or composition may
be accepted by the POTW for treatment subject to additional payment
therefor by the industrial user; provided, however, that such contract
or agreement shall have the prior approval and that such contract
will require compliance with pretreatment standards.
G.
The participating members and/or the JRSB reserve
the right to reject admission to the system or otherwise deny or condition
any new or increased loadings of any waste harmful to the POTW or
to the receiving stream.
H.
Industrial users shall provide necessary wastewater
treatment as required to comply with this law and shall achieve compliance
with all pretreatment standards within the time limitations as specified
by the national pretreatment regulations. Any facilities required
to pretreat wastewater to a level acceptable to the JRSB shall be
provided, operated and maintained at the industrial user's sole expense.
Detailed plans showing the pretreatment facilities and operating procedures
shall be submitted to the JRSB for review and shall be acceptable
to the JRSB before construction of the facility. The review of such
plans and operating procedures will in no way relieve the industrial
user from the responsibility of modifying the facility as necessary
to produce an effluent acceptable to the JRSB under the provisions
of this law. Any subsequent changes in the pretreatment facilities
or method of operation shall be reported to and must be acceptable
to the JRSB prior to the industrial user's initiation of the changes.
The JRSB shall annually publish in the official newspaper of the municipality
a list of the industrial users which were in significant noncompliance
with pretreatment standards during the 12 months. The notification
shall also summarize any enforcement actions taken against the industrial
users during the same 12 months. All records relating to compliance
with pretreatment standards shall be made available to officials of
the EPA or approval authority upon request.
