All users of the Village POTW will comply with
all standards and requirements of the Act and standards and requirements
promulgated pursuant to the Act, including but not limited to 40 CFR
Parts 406 through 471. Such standards have been adopted by the Village
Board in the Sewer Use Rules and Standards Manual.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: The Sewer Use Rules and Standards
Manual is included at the end of this chapter.
No user shall contribute or cause to be contributed,
in any manner or fashion, directly or indirectly, any pollutant or
wastewater which will interfere with the operation or performance
of the POTW. These general prohibitions apply to all such users of
a POTW whether or not the user is subject to national categorical
pretreatment standards, or any other national, state, or local pretreatment
standards or requirements. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, a user may not contribute the substances to the POTW which
are itemized in the Sewer Use Rules and Standards Manual.[1]

Editor's Note: The Sewer Use Rules and Standards
Manual is included at the end of this chapter.
No person shall discharge, directly or indirectly,
into the POTW, wastewater containing any of the following substances
in concentrations exceeding those established in the Sewer Use Rules
and Standards Manual.[1]

A.
At no time shall the influent to the POTW contain
quantities in excess of those specified in the Sewer Use Rules and
Standards Manual.[1]

Editor's Note: The Sewer Use Rules and Standards
Manual is included at the end of this chapter.
B.
Allowable influent load.
(1)
The Superintendent shall determine the total allowable
influent load of each substance from significant industrial users.
In determining the total load of each substance that significant industrial
users shall be allowed to discharge, the Superintendent shall consider:
(a)
The quantities of each substance that are uncontrollable
because they occur naturally in wastewater;
(b)
The quantities of each substance that are anthropogenic
but are nonetheless uncontrollable;
(c)
Historical discharge trends;
(d)
Past pollution control efforts of each significant
industrial user as compared to other significant industrial dischargers
of the same substance;
(e)
Potential for growth in the POTW service area;
(f)
Potential for more restrictive regulatory requirements
to be placed on the POTW discharge or sludge disposal or sludge reuse
method; and
(g)
Treatability of the substance.
(2)
The Superintendent shall apply a minimum 15% safety
factor to be protective of the POTW.
C.
To assure that the total loads so calculated, for
each substance, are not violated, the Superintendent shall issue permits
to significant industrial users limiting discharge loads.
A.
Limitations on wastewater strength or mass discharge
contained in this chapter may be supplemented with more stringent
limitations according to standards specified in the Sewer Use Rules
and Standards Manual.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: The Sewer Use Rules and Standards
Manual is included at the end of this chapter.
B.
The limitations on wastewater strength or mass discharge
shall be recalculated not less frequently than once every five years.
The results of these calculations shall be reported to the Village
Board. This chapter shall then be amended appropriately. Any issued
industrial wastewater discharge permits which have limitations based
directly on any limitations, which were changed, shall be revised
and amended, as appropriate.
The Superintendent shall have the authority
to copy any record related to wastewater discharges to the POTW.
A.
Except where expressly authorized to do so by an applicable
pretreatment standard, no user shall ever increase the use of process
water or, in any other way, attempt to dilute a discharge as a partial
or complete substitute for adequate treatment to achieve compliance
with a pretreatment standard.
B.
Dilution flow shall be considered to be inflow.
Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be
provided when, in the opinion of the Superintendent, they are necessary
for the proper handling of wastewater containing excessive amounts
of grease, flammable substances, sand, or other harmful substances;
except that such interceptors shall not be required for private living
quarters or living units. All interceptors shall be of type and capacity
approved by the Superintendent and shall be so located to be easily
accessible for cleaning and inspection. Such interceptors shall be
inspected, cleaned, and repaired regularly, as needed, by the owner,
at his expense. Specifications for grease, oil and sand interceptors
shall be found in the Sewer Use Rules and Standards Manual.[1]

Editor's Note: The Sewer Use Rules and Standards
Manual is included at the end of this chapter.
Solid waste grinders at or serving commercial
establishments, institutions or industries shall not discharge into
the Village POTW if there is a combined sewer overflow (CSO) on the
sewer lines conveying the waste to the POTW treatment plant.
The Village Board may reject a user's wastewater, on recommendation of the Superintendent, when it is has been determined that the wastewater contains substances or possesses characteristics which have a deleterious effect on the POTW and its processes, or on the receiving water, or which constitute a public nuisance or hazard. See § 235-86.
