Each industry shall be required to install a control manhole and, when required by the wastewater treatment superintendent, the owner of any property serviced by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install a suitable control manhole together with such necessary meters and other appurtenances in the building sewer to facilitate observation, sampling, and measurement of the wastes. Such manhole, when required, shall be accessibly and safely located, and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the wastewater treatment superintendent. The manhole shall be installed by the owner at his expense, and shall be maintained by him so as to be safe and accessible at all times. (Ord. 1268, 12-5-1989)
(A) The owner of any property serviced by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall provide laboratory measurements, tests, and analyses of waters and wastes to illustrate compliance with this chapter and any special conditions for discharge established by the city or regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over the discharge.
(B) The number, type, and frequency of laboratory analyses to be performed by the owner shall be as required by the city, but no less than once per year the industry must supply a full and complete analysis of the constituents of the wastewater discharge to assure that compliance with the federal, state, and local standards are being met. The owner shall report the results of measurements and laboratory analyses to the city at such times and in such a manner as prescribed by the city. The owner shall bear the expense of all measurements, analyses, and reporting required by the city. At such times as deemed necessary the city reserves the right to take measurements and samples for analysis by an outside laboratory service. (Ord. 1268, 12-5-1989)
(C) The city is not required to accept any remediation waters if samples have not been tested or if the testing reflects levels not acceptable under subsection 8-19-31(M) of this article. (Ord. 1454, 3-7-1995)
All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in this chapter shall be determined in accordance with the latest edition of IEPA division of laboratories manual of laboratory methods, and shall be determined at the control manhole provided, or upon suitable samples taken at said control manhole. In the event that no special manhole has been required, the control manhole shall be considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in the public sewer to the point at which the building sewer is connected. Sampling shall be carried out by customarily accepted methods to reflect the effect of constituents upon the sewage works and to determine the existence involved will determine whether a twenty four (24) hour composite of all outfalls of a premises is appropriate or whether a grab sample or samples should be taken. Normally, but not always, BOD and suspended solids analyses are obtained from twenty four (24) hour composites of all outfalls, whereas pH's are determined from periodic grab samples. (Ord. 1268, 12-5-1989)
No statement contained in this article IV shall be construed as preventing any special agreement or arrangement between the city and any industrial concern whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength or character may be accepted by the city for treatment, subject to payment therefor, in accordance with article I of this chapter, by the industrial concern, provided such payments are in accordance with federal and state guidelines for user charge system.
