partnership, trust, company or corporations as well as an individual.
B.Â
The present tense includes the future tense and the singular includes
the plural.
C.Â
The word "shall" is mandatory and the word "may" is permissive.
For the purpose of this chapter, the following terms are defined:
The total pounds of a constituent discharged to a sanitary
sewer over a sampling day expressed in pounds per day. This rate shall
be calculated by utilizing the daily average concentration and total
daily flow for a given day.
The total pounds of a constituent discharged to a sanitary
sewer over a sampling day, divided by 24 hours and expressed in pounds
per hour.
The quantity of oxygen utilized in the biochemical oxidation
of organic matter under standard laboratory procedures expressed in
milligrams per liter.
The lowest horizontal piping of a drainage system which receives
the discharge from waste discharge pipes inside the building and conveys
same to the building sewer.
The extension from the building drain beginning at the immediate
outside foundation wall to its connection with the sanitary sewer
or other place of disposal.
The measure of the oxygen-consuming capacity of inorganic
and organic matter present in water or wastewater expressed as the
amount of oxygen consumed from a chemical oxidant in a specific test.
It does not differentiate between stable and unstable organic matter
and this does not necessarily correlate with biochemical oxygen demand.
It is also known as "OC" and "DOC," oxygen consumed and dichromate
oxygen consumed, respectively.
Any connection between two otherwise separate systems, one
of which contains potable water from the Village public water system
and the other water from a private source, water of unknown or questionable
safety or steam, gases or chemicals, whereby there may be a flow from
one system to the other, the direction of flow depending on the pressure
differential between the two systems.
The concentration of a parameter or constituent in a wastewater
sample collected in proportion to flow over a sampling day.
Water-carried waste emanating from any residential dwelling,
commercial buildings, industrial and manufacturing facility which
is not metered or sampled for volume or waste constituents.
The sum of the gross horizontal area of the several floors
of a building measured from the exterior faces of the exterior walls
or from the center line of walls separating two buildings, excluding
public corridors, restrooms, attic areas, unenclosed stairways, elevator
structures, heating or other building equipment or basement space.
A sample which is taken from a waste stream without regard
to the flow in the waste stream and over a period of time not to exceed
15 minutes.
Liquid processing wastes from an industrial or manufacturing
process, trade or business which is metered for volume and sampled
for waste constituents by the Village.
A system for the provision to the public of piped water for
human consumption owned and operated by the Village.
A well or pump installation which does not comply with the
provisions of Ch. NR 812, Wis. Adm. Code, in effect at the time the
well was constructed, a contamination source was installed, the pump
was installed or work was done on either the well or pump installation.
A measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution expressed
in standard units.
Dredged spoil, solid waste incinerator residue, filter backwash,
sewage, garbage, sewage sludge, munitions, medical wastes, chemical
wastes, biological materials, radioactive materials, heat, wrecked
or discarded equipment, rock sand, dirt, municipal, agricultural and
industrial wastes and certain characteristics of wastewater (e.g.,
pH, temperature, TSS, turbidity, color, BOD, COD, toxicity or odor).
The reduction of the amount of pollutants, the elimination
of pollutants or the alteration of the nature of pollutant properties
in wastewater prior to or in lieu of introducing such pollutants into
the public wastewater treatment facilities. This reduction or alteration
can be obtained by physical, chemical or biological processes; by
process changes or by other means, except by diluting the concentration
of the pollutants unless authorized by the Village.
A system comprised of a septic tank and effluent absorption
area designed for the purpose of processing sewage or other privately
owned sewage disposal systems.
The system of sanitary sewers and interceptors owned, maintained,
operated and controlled by the Village.
The pump and related equipment used for withdrawing water
from a well, including the discharge piping, the underground connections,
pitless adapters, pressure tanks, pits, sampling faucets and well
seals or caps.
The twenty-four-hour period between sample collections at
a wastewater sampling facility over which the collected sample is
deemed to be representative of the wastewater discharged.
A pipe or conduit owned and maintained by the Village which
conveys wastewater.
Human excrement and gray water (household showers, dishwashing,
etc.)
Any discharge of sewage or wastewater which, in concentration
of any given constituent or in quantity of flow, exceeds normal or
average discharge in a manner that inhibits or adversely affects the
ability of the wastewater collection system or treatment facilities
to function properly. (This can be assessed in combination with other
waste contributors or alone.)
A classification pursuant to the Standard Industrial Classification
Manual issued by the United States Office of Management and Budget.
A sewer which carries stormwater and surface waters and drainage,
but excludes sanitary sewage.
Solids that are visible and in suspension in the liquid;
the quantity being determined by "Standard Methods for the Examination
of Water and Wastewater."
The volume of wastewater discharged to a sanitary sewer over
a sampling day.
Water which is not chemically or physically changed as a
result of use.
A well or pump installation which produces water which is
bacteriologically contaminated or contaminated with substances in
excess of the standards of Chapters NR 109 or 140, Wis. Adm. Code,
or for which a health advisory has been issued by the Wisconsin Department
of Natural Resources.
A well or pump installation which is not in use or does not
have a functioning pumping system.
A source of indirect discharge.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch.
1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
The Village of Greenville, Outagamie County, Wisconsin.
Liquid- and water-carried industrial wastes and sewage from
residential dwellings, commercial buildings, industrial and manufacturing
facilities and institutions, whether pretreated or untreated, which
are contributed to the wastewater treatment facility.
A component or element of wastewater.
The publicly owned facility designed to provide for the treatment
of municipal sewage and wastewater.
An excavation or opening into the ground made by digging,
boring, drilling, driving or other method for the purpose of obtaining
groundwater for consumption or other use.
The filling and sealing of a well according to the provisions
of Chapter NR 812, Wis. Adm. Code.
