A.
No industrial user shall discharge, or cause to be discharged, any
industrial wastes directly or indirectly to sewerage facilities owned
by the Town of West Seneca without first applying for a WSPDES (West
Seneca Pollution Discharge Elimination System) permit for industrial
wastewater discharge. After review and evaluation of the application,
the Town Engineer may issue that person a permit. At a minimum, all
significant industrial users shall be issued permits.
B.
The Town may deny or condition any new or increased discharge to
its system or discharges which have changed with respect to their
physical or chemical character if, in the opinion of the Town Engineer,
such discharge would not be in compliance with applicable federal,
state or local pretreatment standards and requirements or where such
discharge would cause the Receiving POTW treatment plant to violate
its SPDES permit, inhibit or interfere with the operation and maintenance
of the POTW collection and treatment facilities or concentrate in
the sludge and interfere with its disposal by approved methods. If
the volume or character of the waste to be discharged to the Town's
collection facilities requires that wastewater collection, treatment
or other disposal facilities of the Town be improved, expanded or
enlarged in order to treat or convey the waste, then prior to approval,
the Town and the person making the discharge shall enter into an agreement
which provides that the discharger pay in full all added costs the
Town may incur due to acceptance of the waste.
C.
A WSPDES permit may require pretreatment of industrial wastewaters
before discharge, restriction of peak-flow discharges, discharge of
certain wastewaters only to specified sewers, relocation of points
of discharge, prohibition of discharge of certain wastewater components,
restriction of discharge to certain hours of the day and such other
conditions as may be required to effectuate the purpose of this chapter.
D.
No WSPDES permit is transferable without the prior written consent
of the Town Engineer. No person shall discharge industrial wastewaters
in excess of the quantity or quality limitations set by his WSPDES
permit. Any person desiring to discharge wastewaters or use facilities
which are not in conformance with his WSPDES permit must apply to
the Town Engineer for an amended WSPDES permit. Such amended permit
shall be granted, provided that its terms shall comply with these
regulations.
A.
Applicants for WSPDES permits shall complete a Town of West Seneca
application form. Blank application forms may be obtained at the following
address: Town Engineer, Town of West Seneca, 1250 Union Road, West
Seneca, New York 14224. All completed applications shall also be submitted
to the above address.
B.
If, after review, the Town determines the applicant to be a surchargeable
user or a significant industrial user, a WSPDES permit shall be issued
after a check for regulation compliance is complete.
The conditions of any permit issued by the Town to an industrial
user will be subject to the provisions and requirements of this chapter,
all applicable federal and state pretreatment standards and requirements
and applicable requirements of the receiving sewer agencies.
Permits issued by the Town shall be valid for a period of three
years. Users shall apply for permit renewal a minimum of 180 days
prior to their permit expiration date.
As EPA, DEC or another appropriate enforcement agency adds or
amends specific pretreatment and effluent guidelines, or as the Town
deems necessary, the restrictions or conditions of any WSPDES permit
may require the introduction of changes or amendments, as circumstances
dictate. When necessary, the Town shall require an industrial user
to develop a time schedule for the installation of technology to comply
with all applicable federal, state and local pretreatment standards
and requirements. In the event that an existing user becomes subject
to a newly promulgated national categorical pretreatment standard,
that user shall submit a report to the Town within 180 days of promulgation
of any applicable federal categorical pretreatment standard, describing
the nature and concentration of any and all substances contained in
the existing discharge which are impacted by the categorical standard.
This report shall further specify whether the existing discharge complies
with the categorical standard and, if not, shall provide a schedule
for incorporation of additional pretreatment necessary to comply.
A.
All persons owning vacuum or cesspool pump trucks, or other transport
trucks, and desiring to discharge septic tank, seepage pit, interceptor
or cesspool contents or industrial wastes to sewerage facilities of
the Town or to facilities that discharge directly or indirectly to
such sewerage facilities shall first have a valid Town of West Seneca
trucker's discharge permit. All applicants for a trucker's
discharge permit shall complete an application form, pay the appropriate
permit fee as determined by resolution of the Town Board, receive
a copy of the Town's ordinance governing discharge to Town facilities
of waste from trucks and shall agree, in writing, to abide by this
chapter.
B.
Discharge of septic tank, seepage pit, interceptor or cesspool contents
or industrial wastes shall be made by truckers holding a permit only
at the locations specified by the Town Engineer for the specific waste.
The Town shall require payment for treatment and disposal costs of
the waste, or may refuse permission to discharge prohibited wastes.
C.
The trucker's discharge permit shall be valid for one year from
date of issuance, subject to receipt of the permit fee.
D.
Any person violating the Town's requirements for liquid waste
discharges from trucks may have his permit revoked by the Town Engineer.
