Editor's Note: This local law also redesignated former Arts.
I and II as Arts. II and III.
The purpose of this article is to reduce wet-weather peak inflow
to the sewage treatment plant to avoid violation of the Village's
SPDES permit and to reserve plant capacity for Village development
requirements. In order to avoid a moratorium or delay construction
until the Village's sanitary sewer infiltration and inflow work is
complete, developers may contribute to offset their new flow contribution
and thereby accelerate the Village's ability to make the required
infiltration and inflow improvements.
In order to create a fund sufficient to fund the required infiltration
and inflow work and improvements, an "I/I fee" in an amount set forth
in the Village of Suffern Standard Schedule of Fees shall be paid
as a condition of issuance of a certificate of occupancy or issuance
of a wastewater discharge permit or amendment thereto, except for
one- and two-family homes, by any person, corporation, or entity who:
A.
Increases wastewater flow above the permit limits established for
significant industrial users; or
B.
Is required to obtain site plan approval and is determined during
the review to have a substantial increase in wastewater flow as compared
to the existing use; that is, an increase of more than 2,000 gallons
per day.
An applicant for site plan approval or subdivision approval
and any significant industrial user who proposes to increase wastewater
flow above existing permit limits shall complete an application regarding
sewage system flow on a form provided by the Village. Based on the
fee set forth in the Standard Schedule of Fees, the Superintendent
of the Department of Public Works shall compute the I/I fee, which
shall be paid prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
The fees so received shall be maintained in a dedicated trust account
to be used only for the purposes set forth herein, including studies,
engineering and construction to eliminate or minimize infiltration
and inflow.
