[Added 2-25-1980]
A.
State and federal laws require that certain water quality standards
be realized in order that the lakes, rivers and streams of our nation
be suitable for such human activities as fishing and swimming and
as a source for safe drinking water. As a result, improved treatment
of municipal sewage has been ordered. The Village of Rothschild, Marathon
County, Wisconsin, holds a permit to discharge effluent from its sewage
treatment plant into the Wisconsin River. The treatment plant presently
serves the Village of Rothschild and a portion of the Town of Weston
Sanitary District pursuant to an order to do so issued by the State
Department of Health.
B.
In order that the Rothschild plant function as designated and meet
the requirements of the discharge permit, the material it receives
and treats must be controlled.
C.
This article is created to provide for uniform standards for all
users served in a manner that is free from discrimination and to ensure
the costs to users for pretreatment are alike in each jurisdiction.
All persons now receiving sewer service from the Utility or
who may hereafter make application therefor are deemed to be bound
by rules and regulations of the Village of Rothschild and such state
and federal statutes and administrative rules as are applicable.

a written permit allowing discharges of higher strengths or other
unusual characteristics into the system, and the discharger shall
pay such additional fee to the local utility for such permit as the
approving authority determines. No such permit shall issue unless
countersigned by the Rothschild approving authority.
A.
Regulatory action. If wastewaters containing any substance described in § 535-16 are discharged or proposed to be discharged into any system subject to this article, the Superintendent shall issue an order to provide for one or more of the following:
(1)
Prohibit the discharge of such wastewater.
(2)
Require a user to demonstrate that in-plant modifications will reduce
or eliminate the discharge of such substances in conformity with this
article.
(3)
Require pretreatment, including storage facilities, or flow equalization
necessary to reduce or eliminate the objectionable characteristics
or substances so that the discharge will not violate these rules and
regulations.
(4)
Require the person making, causing or allowing the discharge to pay
any additional cost or expense incurred by the system or Utility for
handling and treating excess loads imposed on the treatment plant.
(5)
Take such other remedial action as the Superintendent deems necessary
to achieve the purposes of this article.
(6)
Forward within five days written copy of any action taken under this
subsection to the Weston Sanitary District if the user is located
in the district.
B.
Submission of plans. Where pretreatment or equalization of wastewater
flows prior to discharge into any part of the system is required,
plans, specifications and other pertinent data or information relating
to such pretreatment or flow-control facilities shall first be submitted
to the Superintendent for review and approval. Such approval shall
not exempt the discharge or such facilities from compliance with any
applicable code, ordinance, rule, regulation or order of any governmental
authority. Any subsequent alterations or additions to such pretreatment
or flow-control facilities shall not be made without due notice to
and prior approval of the Superintendent.
C.

Monitoring.
(1)
An industrial user discharging wastewater into the Village sewers
shall be subject to periodic inspection and a determination of volume,
character and concentration by the Wastewater Monitoring Team, as
often as deemed necessary by the Superintendent. The volume of flow
shall be determined from the metered water consumption of the industry
or from a wastewater metering survey. Sampling may consist of either
instantaneous grab samples or composite samples of wastewater. The
costs of such testing and flow determination shall be charged to the
industrial waste discharger.
[Amended 9-28-1987]
(2)
An industrial user discharging wastewater into the Village sewers shall install and pay for a suitable control manhole or access facilities to facilitate the accurate observation, sampling and measurement of wastes. Such equipment shall be maintained in proper working order and kept safe and accessible at all times. The control manhole or access facilities shall be constructed on each lateral discharging industrial wastes to the sewer, in accordance with the following minimum requirements based on either the average daily industrial waste flow rates (AWFR) occurring on the days of production during the previous six-month period or on the concentration levels of those industrial wastes which could contain any of the pollutants in toxic concentrations listed in § 535-16C(2):
[Amended 9-28-1987]
(a)
Average daily industrial waste flow rate of less than 9,999
gallons per 24 hours: a control manhole with removable ninety-degree
V-notch weir, baffle plate and one-hundred-twenty-volt power supply.

a location would be impractical or cause undue hardship on the user,
the Superintendent may allow such access to be constructed in the
public street or sidewalk area, with the approval of the local governing
body, and located so that it will not be obstructed by public utilities,
landscaping or parked vehicles.
(4)
When more than one local user can discharge into a common lateral,
the Superintendent may require installation of separate control manholes
or access facilities for each user. When there is a significant difference
in wastewater constituents and characteristics produced by different
operations of a single user, the local Superintendent may require
that separate control manholes or access facilities be installed for
each separate discharge.
(5)
Whether constructed on public or private property, the control manhole
or access facilities shall be constructed in accordance with the Superintendent's
requirements and all applicable standards and specifications. A location
plan and construction details of the control manhole or access facilities
shall be submitted to the Superintendent for review and approval prior
to construction.

may be required by the Superintendent if this volume cannot otherwise
be determined from the metered water consumption records. Metering
devices for determining the volume of waste shall be installed, owned
and maintained by the user. Following approval and installation, such
meters may not be removed without the consent of the Superintendent.
B.
Discharge reports.
(1)
Every significant industrial user shall file a periodic discharge
report (the NR 101 report is acceptable in lieu of that report required
herein) at such intervals as are designated by the Superintendent.
The Superintendent may require any other industrial users discharging
or proposing to discharge into the treatment system to file such periodic
reports.
(2)
The discharge report shall include but, in the discretion of the
Superintendent, shall not be limited to nature of process, volume,
rates of flow, mass emission rate, production quantities, hours of
operations, concentrations of controlled pollutants or other information
which relates to the generation of waste. Such reports may also include
the chemical constituents and quantity of liquid materials stored
on site even though they are not normally discharged. In addition
to discharge reports, the Superintendent may require information in
the form of self-monitoring reports.
(3)
Such records shall be made available upon request by the Superintendent.
A summary of such data indicating the industrial user's compliance
with this article shall be prepared quarterly and submitted to the
Superintendent.
C.
Inspection, sampling and analysis.
