Section 134-9 PRETREATMENT MEASURES
A.
The Administrator is authorized and may require industrial
users to restrict their discharge during peak flow net periods, to
designate
that certain wastewater be discharged only into specific sewer lines,
to
relocate and/or consolidate points of discharge, to separate domestic
sewage
waste streams from industrial sewage waste streams and to impose such
other
conditions as may be necessary to protect the municipal wastewater
system and
to ensure the industrial user's compliance with the requirements of
this
Article.
B. Each
person discharging into the municipal
wastewater system an amount greater than one hundred thousand (100,000)
gallons
per day or an amount greater than five percent (5%) of the average
daily flow
in the system shall install and maintain on his property and at his
sole
expense a suitable storage and flow-control facility designed to ensure
equalization of flow over a twenty-four hour period. Said
facility shall
have a capacity for at least fifty percent (50%) of the daily discharge
volume
by the user and shall be equipped with alarms and a rate of discharge
controller. The regulation of flow from said facility shall be
directed
by the Administrator. The Town may issue a wastewater permit
solely for
flow equalization.
C. Grease,
oil and sand interceptors shall be
provided when, in the opinion of the Administrator, said interceptors
are
necessary for the proper handling of wastewater containing excessive
amounts of
grease, flammable substances, sand or other harmful substances.
All
interception units shall be of a type and capacity approved by the
Administrator and shall be so located as to be easily accessible for
cleaning
and inspection. The Administrator shall determine a schedule for
the
inspection, cleaning and repair of said interceptors, the costs of
which shall
be borne by the property owner at his sole expense.
D. The
Town may require industrial users with the
potential to discharge flammable substances to install and maintain at
their
own expense an approved combustible gas detection meter.
E. All
facilities constructed after the date of this
Article shall separate domestic sewage from industrial wastewater until
the
industrial wastewater has passed through, the required pretreatment
system and
the industrial user's monitoring facility. The Administrator may
require
industrial users with previously existing facilities to separate
domestic sewage
from industrial waste streams when it appears that the combination of
domestic
sewage and industrial waste streams causes or contributes to
interference with
the municipal wastewater system.
