If any waters or wastes discharged or proposed to be discharged
to the public sewers or at the wastewater treatment facility contain
substances or possess characteristics which, in the judgment of the
Village, may have deleterious effects upon the wastewater treatment
facility, processes, equipment, or receiving waters, or which otherwise
create a hazard to life or health or constitute a public nuisance,
the Village may:
A.
Each person discharging industrial wastes into a public sewer shall
construct and maintain one or more control manholes or access points
to facilitate observation, measurement, and sampling of its wastes,
including domestic sewage.
B.
Control manholes or access facilities shall be located and built
in a manner acceptable to the Village Board. If measuring devices
are to be installed, they shall be of a type acceptable to the Village
Board. Appendix B contains the requirements including drawings and
specifications for these facilities.[1] Plans for installation of the control manholes or access
facilities and related equipment shall be approved by the Village
Board prior to the beginning of construction.
[1]
Editor's Note: Appendix B is included as an attachment to this chapter.
C.
Control manholes, access facilities, and related equipment shall
be installed by the person discharging the industrial waste, at its
expense, and shall be maintained by the person discharging the waste
so as to be in safe condition, accessible, and in proper operating
condition at all times.
Devices for measuring the volume of waste discharged may be
required by the Village if this volume cannot be determined. Where
required by the Village, metering devices for determining the volume
of water shall be installed, owned, and maintained by the person discharging
the wastewater. Following approval and installation, such meters may
not be removed without the consent of the Village.
A.
Industrial and permitted outside users discharging into the Village
sewers shall be subject to periodic inspection and sampling of character
and concentration of the waste. The inspections and sampling of the
industry and permitted hauled waste user shall be as often as deemed
necessary by the Village.
B.
Samples shall be collected in such a manner as to be representative
of the composition of the wastes. The sampling may be accomplished
either manually or by the use of permanent monitoring equipment capable
of continuously measuring and recording flow rates and total flows
and collection of flow-based composite samples for quality and quantity
determinations of all of its wastewater discharged to the Village's
wastewater system. Calibration of the flow measurement system will
be performed annually and at any other additional intervals which
the Village deems necessary.
C.
Sample collection and analysis will be by a Village representative.
Access to sampling locations shall be granted to the Village or its
duly authorized representative at all times. The associated costs
of sample collection and analysis will be the responsibly of the industry.
Sample collection and analysis will be in accordance with procedures
set forth in the most recent edition of Standard Methods.
When required, in the opinion of the Village, to modify or eliminate
wastes that are harmful to the structures, processes, or operation
of the wastewater treatment facility, the discharger shall provide
at its expense such preliminary treatment or processing facilities
as may be required to render its wastes acceptable for admission to
the public sewers.
Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided by the industrial
discharger and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible
for cleaning and Village inspection. In the maintaining of these interceptors,
the discharger shall be responsible for the proper removal and disposal
by appropriate means of the captured material and shall maintain records
of the dates and means of disposal which are subject to review by
the Village. Any removal and hauling of the collected materials not
performed by the discharger's personnel must be performed by currently
licensed disposal firms.
All measurements, tests, and analyses of the characteristics
of waters, wastes, and hauled waste to which reference is made in
this chapter shall be determined in accordance with Standard Methods
for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, published by the American
Public Health Association, and Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures
for the Analysis of Pollutants (1978, 40 CFR 136). Sampling methods,
locations, times, durations, and frequencies are to be determined
on an individual basis by the Village. The cost of lab analysis will
be the responsibility of the user. The Village will make the analyses
of the wastes (at the user's cost) and these determinations shall
be used as a basis for calculation of user charges.
Plans, specifications, and any other pertinent information relating
to proposed flow equalization, pretreatment, or processing facilities
shall be submitted for review by the Village prior to the start of
their construction if the effluent from such facilities is to be discharged
into the public sewers.
Industries desiring to make a new connection to a public sewer
for the purpose of discharging industrial process wastes shall prepare
and file with the Village a report that shall include actual or predicted
data relating to the quantity and characteristics of the waste to
be discharged.
When it can be demonstrated that circumstances exist which would
create an unreasonable burden on the person proposing to discharge
a waste to comply with the time schedule imposed herein, a request
for extension of the time may be presented for consideration by the
Village Board.
