(A) Pretreatment facilities. Users shall provide wastewater treatment as necessary to comply with this chapter and wastewater permits issued under § 52.041, and shall achieve compliance with all National Categorical Pretreatment Standards, local limits, and the prohibitions set out in § 52.010 of this chapter within the time limitations as specified by EPA, the state, or the Superintendent or Director, whichever is more stringent. Any facilities necessary for compliance shall be provided, operated, and maintained at the user's expense. Detailed plans showing the pretreatment facilities and operating procedures shall be approved by the Superintendent or Director before construction of the facility. The review of such plans and operating procedures shall in no way relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying the facility as necessary to produce an effluent acceptable to the town under the provisions of this chapter. Any subsequent changes in the pre- treatment facilities or method of operation shall be reported to and be approved by the Superintendent or Director prior to the user's initiation of the changes.
(B) Additional pretreatment measures.
(1) Whenever deemed necessary, the Superintendent or Director may require users to restrict their discharge during peak flow periods, designate that certain wastewater be discharged only into specific sewers, relocate and/or consolidate points of discharge, separate sewage waste streams from industrial waste streams, and such other conditions as may be necessary to protect the POTW and determine the users compliance with the requirements of this chapter.
(2) The Superintendent or Director may require any person discharging into the POTW to install and maintain, on their property and at their expense, a suitable storage and flow-control facility to ensure equalization of flow. A wastewater discharge permit may be issued solely for flow equalization.
(3) Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the Superintendent or Director, they are necessary for the proper handling of wastewater containing excessive amounts of grease and oil, or sand; except that such interceptors shall not be required for residential users. All interception units shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Superintendent or Director and shall be so located to be easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Such interceptors shall be inspected, cleaned, and repaired regularly, as needed, by the user at the user's expense.
(4) Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter.
