As a means of determining compliance with this Part 1, with applicable
SPDES permit conditions and with applicable state and federal law, each industrial
user shall be required to notify the Superintendent or Town Engineer of any
new or existing discharges to the POTW by submitting a completed industrial
chemical survey (ICS) form and a completed industrial wastewater survey (IWS)
form to the Superintendent or Town Engineer. The Superintendent or Town Engineer
may require any user discharging wastewater into the POTW to file wastewater
discharge reports and to supplement such reports as the Superintendent or
Town Engineer deems necessary. All information shall be furnished by the user
in complete cooperation with the Superintendent or Town Engineer.
The Superintendent or Town Engineer shall, from time to time, notify
each industrial user of applicable pretreatment standards and of other applicable
requirements under Section 204(B) and Section 405 of the Clean Water Act and
Subtitles C and D of RCRA.
No person shall cause the discharge of slugs to the POTW. Each person
discharging into the POTW greater than 100,000 gallons per day or greater
than 5% of the average daily flow in the POTW, whichever is lesser, shall
install and maintain, on his property and at his expense, a suitable storage
and flow control facility to ensure equalization of flow over a twenty-four-hour
period. The facility shall have a capacity for at least 50% of the daily discharge
volume and shall be equipped with alarms and a rate of discharge controller,
the regulation of which shall be directed by the Superintendent or Town Engineer.
A wastewater discharge permit may be issued solely for flow equalization.
Preliminary treatment and flow equalization facilities or monitoring
stations, if provided for any wastewater, shall be constructed and maintained
continuously clean, safe and operational by the owner at his expense. Where
an industrial user has such treatment, equalization or monitoring facilities
at the time this Part 1 is enacted, the Superintendent or Town Engineer may
approve or disapprove the adequacy of such facilities. Where the Superintendent
or Town Engineer disapproves of such facilities and construction of new or
upgraded facilities for treatment, equalization or monitoring is required,
plans and specifications for such facilities shall be prepared by a licensed
professional engineer and submitted to the Superintendent and Town Engineer.
Construction of new or upgraded facilities shall not commence until written
approval of the Superintendent or Town Engineer has been obtained.
No unauthorized person shall maliciously, willfully or negligently break,
damage, destroy, uncover, deface, tamper with, prevent access to or render
inaccurate or cause or permit the malicious, willful or negligent breaking,
damaging, destroying, uncovering, defacing, tampering with preventing access
to or rendering inaccurate of:
A. Any structure, appurtenance or equipment which is a part
of the Town POTW; or
B. Any measuring, sampling and/or testing device or mechanism
installed pursuant to any requirement under this Part 1.
All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes required in any section of this Part
1 shall be carried out in accordance with Standard Methods by a laboratory certified by NYSDOH to perform the analyses. Such samples shall be taken at the approved monitoring stations described in §
148-62 if such a station exists. If an approved monitoring station is not required, then samples shall be taken from another location on the industrial sewer lateral before discharge to the public sewer. Unless specifically requested otherwise or unless specifically not allowed in federal regulation, samples shall be gathered as composite samples made up of individual samples taken not less than once per hour for the period of time equal to the duration of industrial wastewater discharge during daily operations (including any cleanup shift).
In order that the industrial user's employees shall be informed
of the Town requirements, a notice shall be permanently posted on appropriate
bulletin boards within the user's facility advising employees of the
Town requirements and whom to call in case of an accidental discharge in violation
of this Part 1.
When so requested in advance by an industrial user and when taking a
sample of industrial wastewater, the Town representatives shall gather sufficient
volume of sample so that the sample can be split into two nearly equal volumes,
each of size adequate for the anticipated analytical protocols. One of the
volumes shall be given to the industry whose wastewater was sampled and the
other shall be retained by the Town for its own analysis.
Nothing in this Article shall be construed as preventing any special
agreement or arrangement between the Town and any user of the POTW whereby
wastewater of unusual strength or character is accepted into the POTW and
specially treated, subject to any payments or user charges, as may be applicable.
A. In entering into such a special agreement, the Town Board
shall consider whether the wastewater will:
(1) Pass through or cause interference.
(2) Endanger the public municipal employees.
(3) Cause violation of the SPDES permit.
(4) Interfere with any of the purposes of this Part 1.
(5) Prevent the equitable compensation to the Town for wastewater
conveyance and treatment and sludge management and disposal.
B. No discharge which violates the Federal Pretreatment
Standards will be allowed under the terms of such special agreements.
