(A) Pursuant to the requirements
imposed on publicly owned wastewater treatment works by the Federal Water
Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 and later amendments, all pretreatment
standards promulgated by the U.S. EPA under 40 CFR Subchapter N and 40
CFR 403 for new and existing industrial discharges to public sewer systems
are hereby made a part of this chapter. Any industrial waste discharge
which violates these EPA pretreatment standards shall be in violation of
this chapter.
(B) Where pretreatment or flow
equalizing facilities are provided or required for any waters or wastes,
they shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory and effective operation
by the owner(s) at his expense.
(C) Any person who transports septic
tank contents, seepage pit or cesspool contents, liquid industrial waste
or other batch liquid waste and wishes to discharge such waste to the public
sewer system shall first obtain permission for such discharge from the
Superintendent. All persons receiving such permission shall abide by all
applicable provisions of this chapter and any other special provisions
that may be established by the Superintendent as necessary for the proper
operation and maintenance of the sewerage system. Waste haulers who have
been granted permission to discharge to the public sewer system shall pay
fees for such discharge in accordance with a fee schedule established by
the Superintendent and approved by the city. It shall be illegal
to discharge any batch liquid waste into any manhole or other part of the
public sewer system, or any building sewer or other facility that discharges
to the public sewer system, except at points of discharge designated by
the Superintendent for such purposes. Any liquid waste hauler illegally
discharging to the public sewer system shall be subject to immediate revocation
of discharge privileges (if granted) and further subject to the penalties
and enforcement actions. Nothing in this chapter shall relieve waste haulers
of the responsibility for compliance with County Health Department, state
or federal regulations.
