(A) This chapter sets forth uniform requirements for users of the publicly owned treatment works (POTW) for the Village of Carol Stream, hereafter referred to interchangeably as the village. This chapter provides for the use of public and private sewers and drains, private sewage disposal, and authorizes the installation and continuing of connections into the sewage works of the village upon certain conditions, including permission thereof; providing for the installation and maintenance of such connections and enforcements thereto; regulating the use of municipal and private sewers and drains; individual wastewater disposal, the installation, connection and disconnection of building sewers, the discharge of water and waste in the public sewer system; and providing for penalties for violation thereof; and providing for termination of permits issued by the village pursuant to the provisions hereof.
(B) This chapter enables the village to comply with all applicable state and federal laws, including the Clean Water Act (33 United States Code § 1251 et seq.) and General Pretreatment Regulations of 40 CFR Part 403. Additional objectives of this chapter are:
(1) To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the POTW that will interfere with its operation;
(2) To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the POTW that will pass through the POTW, inadequately treated, into receiving waters, or otherwise be incompatible with the publicly owned treatment works;
(3) To protect POTW personnel who may be affected by air, wastewater and bio-solids in the course of their employment and the general public;
(4) To promote reuse and recycling of industrial wastewater and bio-solids from the POTW;
(5) To enable the village to comply with its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit conditions, bio-solids use and disposal requirements, and any other federal or state laws to which the POTW is subject;
(6) To provide for fees for the equitable distribution of the cost of operation, maintenance, and improvement of the POTW; and
(7) To regulate private wastewater disposal systems.
(C) This chapter shall apply to all users of the POTW and provides for the enforcement of general requirements for users. The chapter authorizes the issuance of wastewater connection and discharge permits; provides for monitoring, compliance, and enforcement activities; establishes administrative review procedures; requires user reporting; and provides for the setting of fees for the equitable distribution of costs resulting from the programs established herein. The chapter authorizes the issuance of wastewater discharge permits that do not allow the discharge of defined process waste streams but continue to allow the discharge of domestic or sanitary wastewater.
