(4)
Upon the effective date of the categorical pretreatment
standard for a particular industrial subcategory, the standard, if
more stringent than limitations imposed under this article for sources
in that subcategory, shall immediately supersede the limitations imposed
herein.
(5)
State requirements and limitations on discharges shall
apply in any case where they are more stringent than categorical pretreatment
standards promulgated by the EPA or those in this article.
(6)
No user shall ever increase the use of process water
or in any way attempt to dilute a discharge as a partial or complete
substitute for adequate treatment to achieve compliance with the limitations
for adequate treatment, to achieve compliance with the limitations
contained in the categorical pretreatment standards or to achieve

D.
If any wastewaters are discharged or are proposed
to be discharged into the local collection sewerage system which contain
the substances or possess the characteristics in excess of the concentration
of limitations specified in Section 3.01 and which, in the judgment
of the Borough or the Sussex County Municipal Utilities Authority,
may have a deleterious effect upon the local sewerage system or the
SCMUA sewerage system, receiving waters, life or constitute a public
nuisance, the Borough or the Sussex County Municipal Utilities Authority
will exercise one or more of the following:
(1)
Reject the wastes.
(2)
Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for
discharge to the SCMUA sewerage system or the local collection sewerage
system.
(3)
Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge.
(4)
Charge a surcharge for those quantities over and above
the maximum levels defined herein pursuant to § 213-20C(6)
of this chapter and/or the service contract between the SCMUA and
the Borough.
A.
Pretreatment will be required for all industrial wastes
discharged by major industries as defined in Title 40 of the Code
of Federal Regulations for which pretreatment standards or other requirements
have been promulgated by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency in accordance with Section 307 of the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act, Amendments of 1972; for any discharge requirements developed
by the New Jersey State Department of Environmental Protection; or
which, in the judgment of the Borough, may have deleterious effect
upon the local sewerage system, receiving water or life; or which,
in the judgment of the Sussex County Municipal Utilities Authority,
may have a deleterious effect upon the SCMUA sewerage system.
B.
If the SCMUA requires the pretreatment or flow equalization
of industrial wastes which are to be discharged into the SCMUA sewerage
system or the local collection sewerage system, such facilities shall
require review and approval by the SCMUA prior to their construction.
C.
Where pretreatment or flow-equalization facilities
are required for any industrial wastes discharged into the SCMUA sewerage
system, they shall be continuously maintained in satisfactory and
effective operation by the person at his expense.
D.
In such instances where it is agreed that the industrial
waste will be received following preliminary treatment, drawings and
specifications shall be submitted for approval, showing all pertinent
details of the construction proposed to accomplish the pretreatment,
to include details of the indicator-recorder-register type of flow
meter, and housing to be used, to meter the flow of industrial wastes,
and also details of the control manhole to be constructed on the industrial
wastes connection within the sidewalk area. The control manhole shall
be provided with adequate access manhole covers of approved type,
through which access shall be possible to Borough and SCMUA personnel
at all times, and include a sampling location. Drawings, specifications,
reports, etc., shall be submitted in duplicate to each agency and
shall be prepared by a registered professional engineer in the State
of New Jersey who shall possess expertise in industrial waste treatment
and disposal design.
A.
All persons desiring to discharge industrial wastes
must file with the Borough and SCMUA a complete physical and chemical
analysis of the wastes proposed to be discharged into the SCMUA sewerage
system and the local collection sewerage system. This information
shall be filed in accordance with the instructions outlined in EPA
Form 5700-22A (7-73) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System,
Application for Permit to discharge Wastewater, Supplementary Instructions
- for Standard Form A - Municipal.
B.
All industries, as defined in § 213-14 of this article, and any other industries or businesses not included in § 213-14, but which are deemed necessary by the Borough or the SCMUA, which are discharging industrial wastes into the SCMUA sewerage system or the local collection sewerage system, shall semiannually file with the Borough and the SCMUA a report on the constituents and characteristics of their industrial waste [EPA Form 7500-22A (7-73), page IV-1]. Each industry shall maintain a permanent record of all reports and data furnished to the Borough and the SCMUA.
C.
Any industry which is connected to the local collection
sewerage system and is discharging industrial wastes thereto, which
shall change its method of operation so as to alter the type of wastes
previously discharged, shall notify the Borough and the SCMUA at least
15 days prior to such change, in order that representatives of the
Borough and/or SCMUA can sample and determine whether or not the new
waste can be accepted in both the SCMUA sewerage system and the local
collection system.
D.
Representatives of the SCMUA, State of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Federal Environmental Protection Agency and the Borough shall have the right to enter onto all properties of the contributing industry for the purpose of inspection, observation, measurement, sampling and testing. A user which discharges wastewater in excess of 50,000 gallons per day at any time during the year or has been required to provide pretreatment of wastes under § 213-14 of this article is required to install a suitable control manhole with the necessary metering and sampling equipment on the building sewer on its site to facilitate inspection, observation, measurement, sampling and testing of wastes.
E.
Such manhole shall be readily accessible and safely
located and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved
by the Borough and the SCMUA. The manhole shall be determined in accordance
with the analytical methods described in Title 40 Code of Federal
Regulations and shall be determined at the control manhole provided
for above.
[Amended 1-29-2000 by Ord. No. 1-2000; 6-13-2000 by Ord. No.
8-2000]
A.
This article shall be enforced by the Franklin Borough
Public Works Committee personnel and/or the Franklin Borough Construction
Code Official and/or Health Officer. Suspected violators shall be
issued a summons and are subject to the penalties provided below.
[Amended 3-8-2016 by Ord.
No. 6-2016]
No person shall maliciously, willfully or negligently
break, damage, destroy, uncover, deface or tamper with any structure,
appurtenance or equipment which is a part of the local sewerage system.
The Borough will take appropriate action against any person violating
this provision.
A.
The Borough will make connections to the mains of
its local sewerage system and, where said system is located in streets,
will furnish, install and maintain all service laterals, all of which
service laterals shall remain the sole property of the Borough and
shall not be trespassed on or interfered with in any respect. Where
the Borough's local sewerage system is located in a right-of-way,
the Borough will make the connection between the service lateral and
the mains of the Borough's system and install the service lateral.
B.
The Borough reserves the right to determine the size
and kind of the service lateral. New building sewers of all sizes
(minimum four-inch pipe) shall be constructed of heavy duty cast-iron
soil pipe, or P.V.C. Schedule 40, and all installations shall be in
accordance with the standards and requirements of the New Jersey State
Plumbing Code, as adopted by the Borough and, as modified in this
article, the stricter provisions shall prevail. The building sewer
shall be furnished, installed and maintained by the owner of the property
and shall be laid in a straight line, if practical, from the end of
the Borough-constructed service lateral to the structure to be served
and shall be at least two feet below the surface of the ground at
all times when final grading of the property has been completed and
shall be laid with a minimum grade of 1/4 inch per foot. Changes in
direction shall only be made with suitable pipe fittings of the same
material as the building sewer. Cleanouts shall be provided immediately
outside the building being served at all changes in direction and
at every 75 feet of building sewer, measured from the building. The
building sewer and connection to the service lateral to be installed
by the owner or a licensed plumber and maintained by the owner shall
be inspected and approved by the Borough's agent prior to backfilling
the trench. Any construction not approved shall be immediately removed
and reconstructed in an approved manner. All building sewers shall
be properly constructed in order to avoid the creation of infiltration
and/or inflow sources within the Borough's system.
C.
No building sewer shall be laid within three feet
of any open excavation, service lateral, vault or meter pit.
D.
Where the renewal of the service lateral is found
to be necessary, the Borough will renew the service in the location
as previously used. If the property owner or user, for his own convenience,
desires the new service lateral at some other location and agrees
to pay all expenses of such relocation and cutting and disconnecting
the old service lateral, the Borough will lay the new service lateral
at the location desired.
E.
All connections, building sewers and fixtures furnished
by the user shall be maintained by him in good order, and all piping
and connections furnished and owned by the Borough and on the property
of the customer shall be protected properly and cared for by the user.
All leaks in the building sewer or any other pipe or fixture in or
upon the premises served must be repaired immediately by the owner
or occupant of the premises. The user shall be responsible for notifying
the Borough of the party engaged by the user to do any maintenance
work to the customer's building sewer, prior to work being commenced,
and the party shall not backfill any trench until the work has been
inspected and approved by the Borough's agent. Any work not acceptable
shall be immediately removed and replaced by work which is acceptable.
F.
The Borough shall in no way be responsible for maintaining
any portion of the building sewer owned by the user or, due to blockages
in any portion of the building sewer owned by the user, for damage
done by sewage escaping therefrom; or for lines or fixtures on the
user's property; and the user shall at all times comply with applicable
Borough regulations with respect thereto and make changes therein
required by reason of relocation of main or otherwise.
G.
A building sewer shall not serve more than one structure;
however, any of the properties classified below may, upon proper application
of the owner, be supplied by two or more service laterals, each of
which, for billing purposes, shall be considered as being one user
account:
(1)
An industrial, commercial or manufacturing establishment.
(2)
A building separated from adjacent buildings by a
party-wall or party-walls and comprising apartments or stores or offices,
or any combination thereof.
(3)
A detached building comprising apartments or stores
or offices, or any combination thereof.
H.
Building sewers to public buildings, churches, commercial
establishments and industrial establishments shall be installed to
conform to detailed plans and specifications submitted to the Borough
by the applicant, and only after review and approval of those plans
and specifications by the Borough.
I.
Where the trench bottom is soft and yielding, the
Borough reserves the right to require that the building sewer be laid
in partial or total concrete encasement. Junctions of two different
types of pipe shall be made with adapters manufactured in accordance
with the New Jersey State Plumbing Code for the purpose of making
the transition between the specific types and grades of pipe being
used.
J.
If it is found there is infiltration or inflow caused
by a broken pipe, open joints or some other problem with the user's
piping, it shall be reported and repaired immediately by the user
or owner.
K.
Prior to approving an application for a connection
involving the acceptance of industrial wastes, the applicant shall
submit complete data with respect to the following:
(1)
Average, maximum and minimum rates of flow to be expected
daily and seasonally.
(2)
Flow diagram, showing points of application of chemicals,
type and quantity of each chemical used per day and per shift, a schedule
of operations, expected chemical characteristics of the untreated
wastes and the point or points of connection to the sewage system.
The Borough may require the separation of, and separate points of
connection for, domestic sewage and industrial wastes from each industrial
establishment.
L.
Under no circumstances will any of the following be
connected to the sanitary sewers, either directly or indirectly:
(1)
Floor drain, area drain or yard drain, except floor
drains are permitted in food service establishments and public rest
rooms.
(2)
Rain conductor or downspout or sump pumps.
(3)
Grease pit unless pit is cleaned by methods not using
sewers.
(4)
Air-conditioning equipment.
(5)
Stormwater inlets or catch basins.
(6)
Drains from equipment or manufacturing unless specifically
authorized under the provisions of this article.
(7)
Garbage grinders.
M.
Wastes containing any substances or possessing the characteristics listed in § 213-13 will not be accepted.
N.
When, in the opinion of the Borough, grease, oil and
sand interceptors or oil reclaimers are required, they shall be provided
and maintained, at the expense of the owner, in continuously efficient
operating condition. Grease and oil interceptors shall be constructed
of impervious materials, capable of withstanding abrupt and extreme
changes in temperature. They shall be watertight, substantially constructed
and equipped with readily removable access covers. Where deemed necessary,
cold water sprays shall be installed. The design and pertinent data
shall be submitted to the Borough for review and approval, prior to
construction or installation. Separators must be constructed entirely
on the property of the owner.[1]
P.
Where the owner or industry provides its own water
supply entirely separate from that supplied by the Public Works Committee
or provides from its own sources a portion of the water consumed on
the premises which eventually finds its way into the sewage system
of the Borough, all aforementioned provisions will apply. This does
not relieve the owner from the requirement to furnish, install and
maintain a meter of the indicator-register-record type to measure
the discharge of industrial waste as provided herein. All costs of
furnishing, installing and maintaining the industrial waste flow meter
shall be borne by the owner.
[Amended 3-8-2016 by Ord.
No. 6-2016]
Q.
Each industry discharging industrial waste into the
sewer system of the Borough shall provide facilities and means whereby
the waste being discharged may be inspected by designated representatives
of the Borough for the purpose of determining the character, concentration
and rate flow. Such determinations by the Borough shall be binding
for the purpose of computing user charges. Samples may be collected
and evaluated pursuant to standard methods of analysis for the purpose
of determining the quality and quantity of such industrial waste.
R.
Each industry discharging industrial waste into the
sewer system of the Borough shall adopt a schedule of discharges of
such waste, which schedule is subject to the approval of the Borough
to the end that peak concentration of sewage flows shall be minimized
giving due consideration to the capacities of the sewer system and
to the necessities of factory production.
S.
In the event that a change in a previously approved
industrial waste discharged by an industry interferes with the efficiency
of the operation of the sewer system of the Borough or with the disposal
of sewage flowing therein, or increases the cost of the operation
of such system, then such industry shall be required by the Borough
to:
(1)
Reduce its peak discharge.
(2)
Construct equalizing tankage.
(3)
Partially pretreat the wastes.
(4)
Eliminate troublesome wastes.
(5)
Use any approved means to produce industrial waste
of a quality acceptable to the Borough before such waste can be discharged
into the sewage system of the Borough.
T.
In the event that any industry fails to conform to
these regulations, which failure causes damage of any sort to the
Borough or the SCMUA treatment plant or their respective employees
or representatives, the Borough shall determine the extent of the
damage and bill the industry accordingly. If such bill is not paid
within five calendar days from the date of the bill, legal action
may be instituted to enforce collection; the charge shall become a
lien upon the property or the Borough may resort to termination of
the connection after giving 24 hours notice. The Borough reserves
the right to cancel service upon 90 days' written notice, in the event
of repeated failure to comply with the rules and regulations of the
Borough.
U.
Connection to, alterations to or repairs to any public
sewer or the manholes or other appurtenances of the local sewerage
system shall not be made by any persons without a permit issued by
the Borough.
V.
No unauthorized person shall open the cover of, enter
or alter any manhole or other appurtenance of any public sewer; place
or insert in any public sewer or its appurtenances any foreign material
which said sewer or its appurtenances was not intended to receive;
nor shall any person damage, destroy, uncover, deface or tamper in
any way with any public sewer or its appurtenances. Any person violating
this provision of these regulations shall be subject to arrest under
a charge of disorderly conduct.
W.
Permits.
(2)
Property owners or their duly authorized agents shall
obtain the permit by making application on the appropriate form furnished
by the Borough. The application shall state the location and character
of the work to be performed, the person granted permission to perform
such work, the time limit for completion of the work, the general
character of the wastes which are or may be discharged into the sewer
in question and any other pertinent information or conditions. The
permit application shall be supplemented by any plans, specifications
or other information considered to be pertinent by the Borough. A
permit and inspection fee shall be paid to the Borough at the time
the application is filed.
X.
No person, other than those working for and under
the direction of the Borough, shall excavate, construct, install,
lay, repair, alter or remove any property owner's connection or any
appurtenance thereof within the Borough if such sewer is connected
or discharges or is intended at some future time to be connected or
discharged, directly or indirectly, into any public sewer of the Borough,
until said person has a permit secured by the owner of the property
to do such work.
Y.
Any permit may be suspended or terminated by the Borough
on written notice to the party to which the permit was issued for
violation of requirements of these regulations or for other reasons
in the public interest.
Z.
The following requirements of this article shall apply to any person who has a connection permit to do so such sewer work as provided in § 213-18 of this article:
(1)
No building shall be connected to a public sewer unless
the plumbing system of said building has a soil vent pipe extended
to a point above the roof. The plumbing inspector may require that
no running trap, main house trap or other device, which might prevent
free flow of air throughout the whole course of the building sanitary
system, building drain and said soil vent pipe, will be allowed.
(2)
The property owner's trench excavations, installations
and connection to the public sewer shall be in accordance with the
relevant provisions of the New Jersey State Plumbing Code which has
been adopted and enforced by the Borough. The provisions of this code
define the material and workmanship and installation techniques approved
for the installation and connections to the public sanitary sewer
system, as amended by the specific requirements of this article.
(3)
In all buildings where the building drain is too low
to permit gravity flow to the public sewer, sewage or other permitted
waste carried by such drain shall be lifted by approved sump or ejector
pumps in accordance with the New Jersey State Plumbing Code and discharged
to the property owner's service lateral through a heavy-duty cast-iron
soil pipe or PVC Schedule 80 force main.
(4)
When the property owner's building sewer trench has
been excavated, the property owner's building sewer repaired, altered
or constructed and connected to the public sewer and the same is ready
for inspection, the Borough's agent shall be notified within 24 hours
of the making of such connection and prior to backfilling, during
the regular working hours of 8:30 a.m. through 4:30 p.m. and excluding
weekends and holidays. Connection to the Borough's system shall not
be made until a notice to connect has been issued to the property
owner by the Borough. A written clearance to backfill shall be given
when the entire building sewer has been tested by the owner with water
to a pressure of not less than 10 feet of head for a period of not
less than 15 minutes. Said testing shall be made at the time of the
inspection by the Borough's agent. No leakage shall be permitted.
If the person shall not provide the notice of inspection requirement
of this article, the Borough's agent may order all or any portion
of said work to be uncovered for inspection and approval. All building
sewers, drains and plumbing fixtures must conform to all other applicable
provisions of the New Jersey State Plumbing Code.
AA.
Exemptions to the required hookup to the public local
sewerage system may be granted when the following circumstances exist:
(1)
Where a public or private sanitary sewer system is
not available, a septic tank or other individual sewage disposal system
may be allowed subject to application to and approval by the Public
Works Committee. At such time as a public or private sewer system
becomes available to a property served by an individual sewage disposal
system, a direct connection shall be made to said system in accordance
with the requirements of this article, within 180 days of availability.
[Amended 3-8-2016 by Ord.
No. 6-2016]
(2)
Where the use to be served is not within 200 feet
of the sanitary sewer main, provided that any existing sewage facility
is adequate and not contrary to any rule or regulation of the County
Health Department or State Department of Health. Any failure of the
existing on-site sewage system, subsequent to the granting of the
exemption, must be resolved to the satisfaction of the County Health
Department and the Public Works Committee in order for an exemption
to remain in effect.
[Amended 3-8-2016 by Ord.
No. 6-2016]
(3)
Where by reason of unusual property elevations or
characteristic not contemplated in the sewer system design, the mandated
connection would cause undue hardship to the property owner or user,
provided that any existing sewage facility is adequate and not contrary
to any rule or regulation of the County Health Department or State
Department of Health.
A.
Plans and specification for construction of sanitary
sewerage systems by developers or other persons shall be submitted
to the Borough and the SCMUA for approval. Said plans and specifications
shall be prepared by a licensed professional engineer (signed and
sealed) and shall conform with all requirements of the NJDEP for the
design and construction of sanitary sewerage systems. All new sewers
shall be properly designed and constructed in order to avoid the creation
of infiltration and inflow sources within the sanitary sewer system.
B.
Approval by the Borough for construction of said sanitary
sewerage systems shall not be provided until the following are obtained:
C.
In the event construction conditions require field
changes, a written request for approval of such changes, stating reasons
for such changes, must first be submitted to and approved in writing
by the Borough and the SCMUA.
D.
The person constructing said sewer system shall supervise
and direct the work efficiently and safely.
E.
Leakage tests shall be performed by the contractor
and approved by the Borough prior to the connection of new sewer lines
to the Borough's mains. Connections to building sewers shall not be
made until notice to connect is provided by the Borough.
F.
Following completion of construction of any sewers,
the developer shall submit to the Borough certified as-built plans
of the system constructed.
G.
Said new sewer system shall be operated and maintained
by the developer in accordance with good practice, until ownership
of the new sewer system is conveyed to the Borough, at which time
operation and maintenance shall be performed by the Borough. Ownership
of the new sewer system shall be conveyed to the Borough after 24
months of operation of the new system.
A.
The following charges and fees for connection to and
the use of the local sewerage system and the SCMUA sewage treatment
plant are hereby fixed and/or prescribed and the Borough shall charge
the same to the user and the user shall pay such to the Borough on
a quarterly basis. For purposes of this article, the quarterly periods
shall be calendar quarter.
B.
The charges and rents shall draw interest and be a
lien upon the premises until paid, and the Borough may exercise the
remedies for the collection thereof with interest, costs and penalties
provided in N.J.S.A. 40A:26A-12 and as it has by law for the collection
of taxes upon real estate. Charges for sewer use shall be a lien upon
the premises as provided by statute.
C.
The owner of each premises will be held responsible for the sewer charges of their tenant since the sewer charge is a lien on the property as stated in § 213-20B of this article.
D.
If a bill remains unpaid for a period of over 30 days after presentation, it shall be classed as delinquent, and upon five days' notice to the property owner, service may be discontinued. If service is thus discontinued, it will not be restored until all unpaid bills, statutory interest and all reconnection charges, in accordance with Subsection F of this section are paid.
E.
No abatement will be made for leaks or for water wasted
by damaged fixtures.
F.
Applicants for a new connection or the enlargement or modification of an existing connection to the Borough of Franklin’s sewer line shall pay a connection charge for each service lateral or connection to the Borough’s sewer system as provided for in Chapter 119, Fees, of the Code of the Borough of Franklin. The connection charge shall be calculated based on the equivalent single-family dwelling unit (EDU) system as reflected in the chart below. In the event of the enlargement or modification of an existing connection, the applicant shall be responsible for paying a connection fee based on the difference between the new estimated EDUs and the number of EDUs that the applicant or its predecessor had previously paid for. The estimate for the new EDUs shall be prepared by the applicant’s engineer and must be approved by the Public Works Committee. In the event the engineer’s estimate, as approved by the Public Works Committee, results in a reduction in the number of EDUs, there shall be no refund or reduction in the connection fee previously paid by the applicant or its predecessors.

G.
All annual costs for debt services operation maintenance
and replacements attributable to the SCMUA and Borough systems will
be divided among the users and expressed as a fee which is billed
to the user. The method for determining this charge will be based
on an equivalent single-family dwelling unit (EDU) system. The unit
system will distribute the proportional share of operational costs
of the Borough and SCMUA systems among all the users of the system.
The unit assignments are shown below.

|
2.
|
The Borough reserves the right to modify the
number of EDU's assigned to any user, based on actual discharge volume.
The Borough shall require all property owners connecting to the Borough's
sewer system that are served by a private water supply, including,
but not limited to, private wells, to install a water meter to monitor
water usage. Residential dwelling units using a private water source
shall be exempt from the water meter installation requirement contained
in this section.

|
To the extent a proposed use is not addressed
by one of the above-referenced categories, the Borough reserves the
right to utilize the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
regulations, including those found in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-23.3 et seq.,
as same may be amended from time to time, as the basis for calculating
the estimated sewer flows.
| ||||
H.
A surcharge may be imposed on a user of the Borough's
system when a user's sewage volume, quality or other characteristics
are not in compliance with the Borough or SCMUA rules and regulations,
and said noncompliance causes an increase in cost to the Borough and/or
SCMUA for managing all sewage and sludges affected by said noncomplying
discharge. Such surcharge shall be equal to the increase in cost to
the Borough and/or SCMUA for the treatment of all sewage and sludges
affected by the noncomplying sewage discharge.
I.
Laboratory analyses will be performed, if deemed necessary,
on composite samples of a user's sewage flow to determine its biological
and chemical composition. The results of those analyses will be used
to determine a user's surcharge, if any. The standard laboratory procedures
shall be those found in the latest edition of Standard Methods for
the Examination of Water and Wastewater. The costs for these analyses
shall be paid by the user.
J.
In cases where the BOD of the sewage, in the opinion
of the Borough, does not represent the true character of the oxygen
demand, the Borough reserves the right to use chemical oxygen demand
("COD") instead of BOD.
K.
The fee for the closing of a sewer line or lateral to a building shall be as set forth in Chapter 119, Fees. Upon the closing of a sewer line or a lateral to a building, the property owner shall be responsible for paying a new connection fee as provided for in § 213-20F in the event that the connection is reopened or a new connection is made to an existing or replacement building or structure. However, in the event that the sewer line is temporarily closed in order to accommodate construction on the lot and block where the sewer connection previously existed, a new sewer connection fee will not be charged, except to the extent of an enlargement or modification of the sewer connection.
[Amended 6-10-2008 by Ord. No. 7-2008]
L.
The fee for reopening any sewer line or lateral to a building shall be as set forth in Chapter 119, Fees. Upon the closing of a sewer line or a lateral to a building, the property owner shall be responsible for paying a new connection fee as provided for in § 213-20F in the event that the connection is reopened or a new connection is made to an existing or replacement building or structure. However, in the event that the sewer line is temporarily closed in order to accommodate construction on the lot and block where the sewer connection previously existed, a new sewer connection fee will not be charged, except to the extent of an enlargement or modification of the sewer connection.
[Amended 6-10-2008 by Ord. No. 7-2008]
A.
Failure on the part of the Borough or any user in
any instance or under any circumstances to observe or fully perform
any obligation assumed by or imposed upon it by the foregoing section
or by law shall not make the Borough liable in damages to any user
or relieve any user from making any payment to the Borough or fully
performing any other obligation required of it, but such user may
have and pursue any and all other remedies provided by law for compelling
performance by the Borough of said obligation assumed by or imposed
upon the Borough.
B.
Acceptance by the Borough into the local system of
sewage or other wastes in volume or at a rate or with characteristics
exceeding or violating any limit or restriction provided for by or
pursuant to this article in one or more instances or under one or
more circumstances shall not constitute a waiver of such limit or
restriction or of any of the provisions of this article and shall
not in any way obligate the Borough thereafter to accept or make provisions
for sewage or wastes delivered into the system in a volume or at a
rate or with characteristics exceeding or violating any such limit
or restriction in any other instance or under any other circumstance.
C.
Whenever, under the terms of this article, the Borough
is authorized to give its written consent, the Borough, in its discretion,
may give or refuse such written consent and, if given, may restrict,
limit or condition such consent in such manner as it shall deem advisable.
D.
The Borough reserves the right to amend this article
or to adopt additional ordinances from time to time as it shall deem
necessary for the operation, maintenance and protection of the local
sewerage system, for meeting revised standards of influent or effluent
quality of any regulatory agencies having jurisdiction in this regard
or for any other reason the Borough deems is desirable or necessary
for performing its functions. Any such amendments or additions shall
become effective within 15 days of their issuance by the Borough or
as may be specifically required by any federal or state regulatory
agency having jurisdiction.
E.
References herein to laws, regulations, forms and
other official documents shall be deemed to include amendments or
modifications hereinafter adopted or promulgated.
F.
At such time as a public or private sewer system becomes available to a property presently served by an individual sewage disposal system, a direct connection shall be made to the public or private sewer system in compliance with § 213-18 of this article, and any septic tanks, cesspools and similar waste facilities shall be abandoned and dismantled and filled with suitable material under the direction of and subject to inspection by the Borough's agent.
G.
No provision of this article is intended to negate
any provision of any other Borough ordinance as they may pertain to
the installation of any sanitary sewerage facilities due to land subdivision
or any other major construction project.
[Added 9-28-1999 by Ord. No. 5-99]
A.
General requirements.
(1)
Grease interceptors shall be installed on the waste
piping for all connections to the Borough sewer system from commercial
establishments, including but not limited to restaurants, delicatessens,
food preparation and kitchen areas of supermarkets, department stores,
motels, hotels and institutions such as schools, hospitals and assisted
living institutions and any other connections which, in the opinion
of the Borough Public Works Committee, could cause a detrimental effect
on the sewer system if a grease interceptor is not installed and properly
maintained.
[Amended 3-8-2016 by Ord.
No. 6-2016]
(2)
When the Borough determines that a grease interceptor
is necessary for a new connection to the Borough sewer system, the
property owner, lessee or person occupying the property shall furnish
and install an outdoor, buried grease interceptor as approved by the
Public Works Committee. The grease interceptor must be installed prior
to issuance of an approval to connect to the Borough sewer collection
system. The Public Works Committee may also require the installation
of a Board-approved outdoor, buried grease interceptor for existing
connections to the Borough sewer system where the Borough has determined
that the wastewater discharged from the connection is causing an accumulation
of grease or having other deleterious impact on the Borough sewer
collection system.
[Amended 3-8-2016 by Ord.
No. 6-2016]
(3)
Grease interceptors shall be sized, designed and constructed
in accordance with procedures stipulated in the United States Environmental
Protection Agency Design Manual for On-Site Wastewater Treatment and
Disposal Systems dated 1980, or latest revision, for outdoor interceptors,
and the Plumbing and Drainage Institute Standard PI-G1O1 - Testing
and Rating Procedure for Grease Interceptors with Appendix of Sizing
and Installation Data, latest revision, for indoor interceptors.
(4)
Grease interceptors shall be sized based on the design
flow tributary to the interceptor as outlined in the above standards.
Interior interceptors shall be equipped with devices to control the
rate of water flow through the interceptors so as not to exceed the
rated design flow of the interceptors and shall have a grease retention
capacity of not less than two pounds for each gallon per minute (GPM)
of design flow. The size of interior grease interceptors shall be
limited to no greater than 50 pounds of grease.
(5)
Food waste grinders and commercial dishwashers shall
not discharge through a grease interceptor. Fixtures discharging to
grease interceptors shall be individually trapped and vented except
as permitted otherwise by the National Plumbing Code.
B.
Approval and permits. Grease interceptors shall not
be installed without having obtained the prior approval of the Public
Works Committee and a Plumbing Subcode permit from the Borough Construction
Office. All applications for installation of a grease interceptor
shall include the complete sizing basis which includes all information
deemed necessary by the Borough, including but not limited to the
following:
[Amended 3-8-2016 by Ord.
No. 6-2016]
(1)
Number and size of fixtures to be connected to the
grease interceptor.
(2)
Flow rates for fixtures to be connected to the grease
interceptor.
(3)
Number of seats for restaurants, cafeterias and similar
eateries.
(4)
Maximum population/capacity for institutional facilities.
(5)
Drawing (in the form of a riser diagram for new installations)
showing the relationship of the grease interceptor to the remainder
of the waste piping system.
(6)
Such other information as the Borough may deem necessary
to make a proper evaluation of the application.
C.
Maintenance schedule and records.
(1)
Cleaning and maintenance schedule.
(a)
Any property owner, lessee or person occupying
any building in which a grease interceptor is installed shall be required
to clean and maintain the interceptors on a regular schedule as determined
by the Borough at such time as the plumbing permits for grease interceptors
are issued. In the event a cleaning and maintenance schedule is not
provided to the applicant at the time the plumbing permits are secured,
the schedule for cleaning and maintenance for currently existing grease
traps shall apply, as set forth below.
(c)
The Borough reserves the right to alter the
above-stated cleaning frequencies on a case-by-case basis if necessary
to ensure that excessive grease accumulations are not occurring in
the Borough sewer system.
(2)
Recordkeeping.
(a)
Property owners, lessees or persons occupying
buildings in which interior grease interceptors are installed shall
maintain a cleaning/maintenance log on the premises which documents
the dates on which grease is removed from the interceptors.
(b)
A log shall also be maintained which shows the
date on which accumulated grease is removed from the building site
to an ultimate disposal location by a renderer or other licensed septage/sludge
transportation service. The logs for ultimate disposal of grease may
be in the form of invoices from the renderer or transportation service.
The logs shall show the date, amount of grease removed from the site
for disposal and the name of the firm which performed the grease removal.
Grease removal log sheets shall be maintained for all locations where
grease interceptors are installed, whether they are interior or exterior
units.
D.
Inspections.
(1)
Any property owner, lessee or person occupying any
property in which a grease interceptor is required by the Borough
to be installed shall allow Franklin Borough Public Works Committee's
personnel, as well as the Borough Health and/or Construction Official,
to access the grease interceptor at any reasonable time as is necessary
for the purpose of inspection or observation. The propose of the inspection
is to determine that the equipment is functioning properly and is
being maintained in such a manner that it does not discharge grease
in concentrations in excess of those permitted by these ordinances
or the SCMUA regulations or any state of federal regulations, codes
or statutes. At the time of the inspection, all log books for the
grease interceptor(s) shall be made available to the Franklin Borough
personnel.
[Amended 3-8-2016 by Ord.
No. 6-2016]
(2)
The property owner, lessee or person occupying the
property shall provide the Borough personnel with such tools, equipment
and labor as is necessary to open the interceptor access cover in
the presence of the Borough personnel in order to conduct the required
inspection.
E.
Enforcement and penalties.
(1)
This section shall be enforced by the Borough Construction
Code Official and/or Health Officer. Suspected violators shall be
issued a summons and are subject to the penalties provided below.
(2)
Any person violating any provision of this section,
upon conviction, shall be subject to a fine not exceeding $1,000 or
imprisonment for a term not exceeding 90 days or a period of community
service not exceeding 90 days, or any combination thereof. Each violation
of any of the provisions of this section and each day that such offense
shall continue shall be deemed to be a separate and distinct offense.
