[Ord. #84-5, A VI, § 1]
All discharges of stormwater, surface water, groundwater, roof
runoff, and subsurface drainage shall be made to storm sewers or natural
outlets designed for such discharges. Any connection, drain, or arrangement
which will permit any such waters to enter any wastewater sewer shall
be deemed to be a violation of this subsection and this Chapter.
[Ord. #84-5, A VI, § 2]
a.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged to any of the
wastewater facilities any substances, materials, waters, or wastes
in such quantities or concentrations which will:
1.
Create a fire or explosion hazard, including, but not limited to,
gasoline, benzene, naptha, fuel oil, or other flammable or explosive
liquid, solid, or gas; including but not limited to any liquid having
a flash point lower than two hundred thirty-five (235°F) degrees
Fahrenheit as determined by the Tagliabue closed cup method.
2.
Cause corrosive damage or hazard to structures, equipment, or personnel
of the wastewater facilities, but in no case discharges having a pH
lower than five point five (5.5) or greater than nine point zero (9.0).
3.
Cause obstruction to the flow in sewers, or other interference with
the operation of wastewater facilities due to accumulation of solid
or viscous materials.
4.
Contain fats, wax or grease, or oils, whether emulsified or not,
in excess of one hundred (100) milligrams per liter (mg/1) or containing
substances which may solidify or become viscous at temperatures between
thirty-two (32°F) degrees Fahrenheit and one hundred fifty (150°F)
degrees Fahrenheit.
5.
Have a temperature higher than one hundred fifty (150°F) degrees
Fahrenheit of sixty-five (65°C) degrees Centigrade.
6.
Contain phenolic compounds over one point zero (1.0) parts per million,
expressed as phenol.
7.
Contain any radioactive substances.
8.
Have a bio-chemical oxygen demand (5-Day BOD) in excess of three
hundred fifty (350) milligrams per liter (mg/1).
9.
Have a suspended solids content in excess of three hundred (300)
milligrams per liter (mg/1), or containing suspended solids of such
character or specific gravity that unusual attention or expense is
required to handle or treat such materials.
10.
Contain corrosive, toxic, or poisonous substances in sufficient quantity
to cause injury, damage or hazard to personnel, structures or equipment,
or interfere with the wastewater facilities including but not limited
to any portion of the liquid or solids treatment or handling processes,
or that which will pass through the treatment facilities in such condition
that they will not achieve State, Federal, or other existing, pending,
or future requirements for the effluent discharge, including but not
limited to the NPDES permit requirements imposed upon the Cape May
County Municipal Utilities Authority.
11.
Cause unusual volume or concentration of wastes being delivered in
a "slug" manner by which it is meant that the normal (i.e. twenty-four
(24) hour average) concentration of loadings shall not be exceeded
by more than a factor of four point zero (4.0) for any sixty (60)
minute period.
12.
Have objectionable color which is not removable in the wastewater
treatment facility.
13.
Be discharged by tank trucks into manholes or appurtenances of the
wastewater sewer system, including but not limited to septic tank
wastes. These septic tank wastes will, however, be accepted directly
at the CMCMUA Wastewater Treatment Facilities.
14.
Contain noxious, malodorous gas or substance which is present in
quantities that create a public nuisance or a hazard to public health.
15.
Contain any garbage that has not been properly shredded.
If any wastewaters are discharged or are proposed to be discharged
to the wastewater facilities which consist of the substances or possess
the characteristics enumerated above, or which may be set forth by
regulatory agencies now or in the future, and which in the judgment
of the City, the Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority and/or
the New Jersey Water Company, have a deleterious effect upon the wastewater
facilities or constitute a public nuisance, the City may:
[Ord. #84-5, A VI, § 3]
In an effort to conserve water resources, no discharger shall be permitted to dilute their waste to avoid violation of subsection 15-3.27.
