A.
Public wastewater collection facilities are required
to be used for the deposit of human waste, garbage and/or other liquid
wastes that cannot be discharged into a receiving stream or disposed
of in any other manner in accordance with federal and/or state statutes
and/or state administrative regulations as approved by the appropriate
agencies.
B.
No building or facility shall be connected to any sewer unless the entire property on which the building or facility is situated is located within the jurisdictional limits of the JRSB, except as provided in § 137-38 of this law.
C.
No person shall place, deposit or discharge or cause
to be placed, deposited or discharged upon public or privately owned
property any wastewater within the jurisdictional limits of the JRSB
unless done so within adequately sized holding facilities as approved
by all applicable federal, state, county and local agencies.
D.
No person shall deposit or discharge or cause to be
deposited or discharged to any wastewater collection facilities any
solid, liquid and/or gaseous waste unless through a connection approved
under the terms of this law.
E.
No person shall discharge any sewage, waste or material,
industrial waste or any polluted water into a stream or into the air
or onto the land except where the person has made and provided for
treatment of such wastes which will render the content of such wastes'
discharge in accordance with applicable state and federal laws, ordinances
and regulations, county law and local laws.
F.
In case of natural outlet discharges, at the time
construction of the POTW is commenced, each industrial user shall
furnish to the JRSB an approved NPDES permit setting forth the effluent
limits to be achieved by the industrial user's treatment facility
and a schedule for achieving compliance with such limits by the required
date. The NPDES permit shall be kept on file with the JRSB and updated
by such information as periodically required by the participating
members, local agencies, state agencies and/or federal agencies.
G.
Any person owning property within the jurisdictional
limits of the JRSB, which property is improved with one or more residences,
houses, buildings or structures for or intended for human use, occupancy,
employment or any other similar purpose whatever and which property
abuts on any street, alley or right-of-way in which there is located
a sewer within 100 feet of the nearest property line, shall, within
90 days after such sewer is in service and at his expense, install
suitable toilet and waste disposal facilities in the residences, houses,
buildings or structures and connect the facilities with the sewer
in accordance with the terms and provisions of this law; provided,
however, that in the event that compliance with this section of the
law causes economic hardship to the person, he may apply to the JRSB
for an exemption. An application for exemption shall state in detail
the circumstances which are claimed to cause the economic hardship.
Exemptions shall only be granted to residential users and shall not
be available to commercial and/or industrial users. Any connection
to a sewer line under this law shall be made only if the JRSB determines
that there is capacity, including BOD and TSS capacity, available
in all downstream sewer lift stations, sewer lines and in the POTW.
