The following pollutant limits are established to protect against pass through and interference.
A. Non-Toxic Limits For Discharge: No user should discharge any wastewater containing concentrations greater than the local limits as set forth in section 8-2A-2-1 of this chapter into any sewers that connect either directly or indirectly to the POTW.
B. Toxic Pollutants: No user should discharge any wastewater containing concentrations greater than the local limits as set forth in section 8-2A-2-2 of this chapter into any sewers that connect either directly or indirectly to the POTW.
C. The village will apply the local limits found in subsections A and B above normally at the end-of-pipe point where the non-residential waste is discharged to the municipal sewer system.
D. Quantities And Rates Of Discharge: The village reserves the right to establish requirements, by ordinance or in a wastewater discharge permit or general permit, to require control over the quantities and rates of discharge from any user.
E. Mass Limitations On Discharges: The village reserves the right to establish, by ordinance or in a wastewater discharge permit, mass limitations rather than concentration limitations on discharges particularly if users are using dilution to meet applicable pretreatment standards and requirements, or in other cases when the imposition of mass limitations is appropriate.
F. The village reserves the right to set specific limits for those pollutants not identified in sections 8-2A-2-1 or 8-2A-2-2 on a case by case basis for impacts caused to the POTW including but not limited to interference, upset, pass through and prevention of beneficial biosolids re-use. Those limits shall be set forth in a wastewater discharge permit per section 8-2-8 of this chapter.
1. Local limits for additional pollutants not identified in sections 8-2A-2-1 or 8-2A-2-2 will be noticed to the permit holder a minimum of thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the wastewater discharge permit. In the event that the village receives written comment on said limit during the comment period, the limit will take effect within sixty (60) days of the public notice date to allow review and comment by the village.
G. The village may develop best management practices (BMPs), by ordinance or in individual wastewater discharge permits or general permits, to implement local limits and the requirements of section 8-2-5-2.
H. Any user, whose discharge may be pre-treated or treated more effectively and which discharges to the village's facilities that cause the village's alteration of its method of wastewater treatment or biosolid disposal to a more costly method, shall be assessed the differential cost between the more costly method of treatment and the less costly method of treatment. Such costs shall only be assessed upon approval of the village board. (Ord. 20-08-25, 8-10-2020)
