No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any stormwater,
surface water, groundwater, roof runoff, subsurface drainage, uncontaminated
cooling water or unpolluted industrial process waters into any sanitary
sewer.
Stormwater and all other unpolluted drainage shall be discharged
to such sewers as are specifically designated as storm sewers or to
a natural outlet approved by the Township Engineer. Industrial cooling
water or unpolluted process waters may be discharged, on approval
of the Township Engineer, to a storm sewer or natural outlet.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any of the
following described waters or wastes to any public sewers:
A. Any gasoline, benzene, naphtha, fuel oil or other flammable or explosive
liquid, solid or gas.
B. Any waters or wastes containing toxic or poisonous solids, liquids
or gases in sufficient quantity, either singly or by interaction with
other wastes, so as to injure or interfere with any sewage treatment
process or to constitute a hazard to humans or animals or to create
a public nuisance.
C. Any waters or wastes having a corrosive property capable of causing
damage or hazard to the structures, equipment and personnel of the
sewage works.
D. Solid or viscous substances in quantities or of such size capable
of causing obstruction to the flow in sewers or other interference
with the proper operation of the sewage works, such as, but not limited
to, ashes, cinders, sand, mud, straw, shavings, metal, glass, rags,
feathers, tar, plastics, wood, unground garbage, whole blood, paunch
manure, hair and fleshings, entrails and paper dishes, cups, milk
containers and the like, either whole or ground by garbage grinders.
When required by the Authority, the owner of any property serviced
by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install a suitable
control manhole, together with such necessary meters and other appurtenances,
in the building sewer to facilitate observation, sampling and measurement
of the wastes. Such manhole, when required, shall be accessibly and
safely located and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved
by the Authority. The manhole shall be installed by the owner at his
expense and shall be maintained by him so as to be safe and accessible
at all times.
All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics
of waters and wastes, to which reference is made in this Part 1, shall
be determined in accordance with the latest edition of Standard Methods
for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, published by the American
Public Health Association, and shall be determined at the control
manhole provided or upon suitable samples taken at said control manhole.
In the event that no special manhole has been required, the control
manhole shall be considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in
the public sewer to the point at which the building sewer is connected.
