(A) If any waters or wastes are discharged or are proposed to be discharged to the public sewers, which waters contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in § 51.062, and/or which are in violation of the standards for pretreatment provided in 40 CFR 403, June 26, 1978 and any amendments thereto, and which in the judgment of the Superintendent may have a deleterious effect upon the sewage works, processes, equipment or receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the Superintendent may:
(1) Reject the wastes, and require the violator to cease and desist discharging said materials into the sewer system immediately.
(2) Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge and also require payment to cover the added costs of handling and treating the wastes not covered by the existing sewer charges.
(B) If the Superintendent permits the pretreatment or equalization of waste flows, the design and installation of the plants and equipment shall be subject to review and approval of the Superintendent and subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances and laws.
('71 Code, § 8-6-5(E)) (Ord. 2566, passed 4-28-86)
Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the Superintendent, they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing grease in excessive amounts, or any flammable wastes, sand, or other harmful ingredients; except that such interceptors shall not be required for private living quarters or dwelling units. All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Superintendent, and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
('71 Code, § 8-6-5(F)) (Ord. 2566, passed 4-28-86) Penalty, see § 10.99
Where preliminary treatment or flow equalizing facilities are provided for any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner at his expense.
('71 Code, § 8-6-5(G)) (Ord. 2566, passed 4-28-86)
Each new industry shall be required to install a control manhole, and when required by the Superintendent, the owner of any property serviced by an existing building sewer carrying industrial or commercial 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 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.
('71 Code, § 8-6-5(H)) (Ord. 2566, passed 4-28-86) Penalty, see § 10.99
(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 stipulated by the city, but no less than once per year the industry must supply a 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 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.
('71 Code, § 8-6-5(I))
(C) 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 of hazards to life, limb and property. The particular analyses involved will determine whether a 24-hour composite of all out-falls 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 24-hour composites of all outfalls, whereas pH's are determined from periodic grab samples.
('71 Code, § 8-6-5(J))
(D) Any person discharging wastes having concentrations greater than the normal concentrations as set forth herein shall upon notification by the approving authority install a composite sample with a compatible pacing (metering) device for monitoring said substances. The pacing and sampling devices shall be of a type approved by the Superintendent. All testing and measuring procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall be in conformance with title 40-CFR-part 136.
(E) The cost of all required measurements, tests and analyses shall be borne by the contributor.
('71 Code, § 8-6-5(K))
(Ord. 2566, passed 4-28-86)
No statement contained in this subchapter 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 §§ 51.095 through 51.098, of this chapter, by the industrial concern, provided such payments are in accordance with federal and state guidelines for user charge systems.
