[Amended 10-16-1995 by L.L. No. 27, 1995]
No person shall discharge septage into the POTW's treatment plant without a license from the Director. Applicants for said licenses shall apply on a form provided by the Director. These forms may require information such as vehicle specifications, vehicle license number, vehicle color, DEC permits issued under 6 NYCRR Part 364, approximate annual septage volume expected, service area, lists of residences from which the applicant expects to pick up septage and any other information that the Director may require to determine whether the septage could adversely impact the POTW. The application shall be accompanied by a fee prescribed by the Director, not to exceed $250. If a license is issued, the licensee may then purchase from the Director tickets to discharge septage into a designated place at the POTW. Provided that the licensee complies with all requirements of this article, each ticket shall permit the licensee to discharge 1,000 gallons of septage into the POTW at a cost not to exceed $100 per ticket.
The applicant for a septage license shall be the owner of the vehicle or vehicles to be used for septage discharges. Any false or misleading statement in any license application shall be grounds for invalidating the license. All licenses issued by the Director shall be for one year's duration. The licensee shall also be duly permitted by the DEC under 6 NYCRR Part 364. If, for any reason, the DEC permit issued under 6 NYCRR Part 364 is revoked, lapses or becomes invalid, then the license issued under this article shall become invalid immediately. Said license may be suspended or revoked at any time by the Director for violation of its terms or of the requirements of this chapter or the Act.
No person shall discharge into the POTW's treatment plant septage containing any substance other than sanitary sewage from a residence located within the Town of Orangetown. Before discharging a load of septage into the treatment plant, the septage hauler shall provide the POTW with a list of residences from which the hauler picked up septage for that load, a statement of the volume and nature of the septage, a certification from an owner or occupant of each residence as to the volume of septage and the date the septage hauler picked up its load from that residence and any other information requested by the Director. The Director has the discretion to refuse to accept any septage load based on the type, concentration or quantity of pollutants or on the capability or capacity of the POTW to treat the septage. All septage discharges must comply with all pretreatment standards and pretreatment requirements and may not contain hazardous wastes.
The Director shall restrict septage discharges to certain designated locations at the POTW. The Director also may restrict septage discharges to certain times, to certain days of the week or to certain seasons of the year.
Each discharge of septage shall be made only with the approval of the Director. The Director may require inspection, sampling and analysis of each load of septage prior to the discharge of the load. Any costs associated with such inspection, sampling and analysis shall be paid by the licensee and shall be in addition to the dumping fee set forth in § 30A-30 of this chapter.
