Local limits will be based on a mass allocation system contained
in the Town of Amherst Mass Allocation and Pollutant Control Manual
approved by the Town Board of the Town of Amherst. Mass-based local
limits shall be included in all wastewater discharge permits, for
all users required to be permitted. Discharges, which exceed mass-based
local limits, are prohibited. In addition any user which discharges
a pollutant greater than the unallocated reserve for that pollutant,
shall be considered to be in violation of this Part 1. Further, concentration-based
local limits based on worker health and safety are contained in the
Town of Amherst Mass Allocation and Pollutant Control Manual and shall
be included in all wastewater discharge permits for all users required
to be permitted. In addition, concentration-based local limits applicable
to unpermitted industrial users are contained in this Manual. Discharges,
which exceed concentration-based local limits, are prohibited. The
Town of Amherst Mass Allocation and Pollutant Control Manual and any
limits developed through the use of such Manual are duly enforceable
by this Part 1. Any changes to the Manual must comply with all applicable
requirements of 40 CFR 403. The Town of Amherst Mass Allocation and
Pollutant Control Manual is available at the Town of Amherst Engineering
Department.
The Town reserves the right to establish more stringent limitations
or requirements on discharges to its wastewater facilities if deemed
necessary to comply with the objectives set forth above.
