The Wastewater Treatment Operator shall, from time to time, notify each
industrial user of applicable pretreatment standards and of other applicable
requirements under Sections 204(B) and 405 of the Clean Water Act, and Subtitles
C and D of RCRA.
All significant industrial users and other industrial users whose industrial
waste discharge has or may cause interference or pass-through shall install
and maintain a suitable monitoring station, at their expense, to facilitate
the observation, sampling and measurement of their industrial wastewater discharge.
The Wastewater Treatment Operator shall require that such monitoring station
include equipment for the continuous measurement and recording of wastewater
flow rate and for the sampling of the wastewater. Such station shall be accessible
and safely located, and the industrial user shall allow immediate access to
the station by the Wastewater Treatment Operator or his designated representatives.
The Wastewater Treatment Operator and other authorized representatives
of the Village of Oxford, representatives of the EPA, NYSDEC and/or NYSDOH,
bearing proper credentials and identification, shall be permitted to enter
upon all nonresidential properties at all reasonable times for the purpose
of inspection, observation, sampling, flow measurement and testing to ascertain
a user's compliance with applicable provisions of federal and state law
governing use of the Village of Oxford POTW and with the provisions of this
chapter. Inspections of residential properties shall be performed in proper
observance of the resident's civil rights. Such representatives shall
have the right to set up on the user's property such devices as are necessary
to conduct sampling or flow measurement. Such representatives shall have access
to and may copy any records the user is required to maintain under this chapter.
Where a user has security measures in force which would require proper identification
and clearance before entry into the premises, the user shall make necessary
arrangements so that upon presentation of suitable identification, inspecting
personnel will be permitted to enter without delay for the purpose of performing
their specific responsibilities.
All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of water and wastes required in any section of this chapter shall be carried out in accordance with standard methods. Such samples shall be taken at the approved monitoring stations described in § 230-54, if such a station exists. If an approved monitoring station is not required, then samples shall be taken from another location on the industrial sewer lateral before discharge to the public sewer. Unless specifically requested otherwise or unless specifically not allowed in federal regulation, samples shall be gathered as composite samples made up of individual samples taken not less than once per hour for the period of time equal to the duration of industrial wastewater discharge during daily operations (including any cleanup shift).
No unauthorized person shall maliciously, willfully or negligently break,
damage, destroy, uncover, deface or tamper with any structure, appurtenance
or equipment which is a part of the Village of Oxford POTW. No person shall
tamper with or knowingly render inaccurate any measuring device or mechanism
installed pursuant to any requirement under this chapter.
