(A) Whenever deemed necessary, the Superintendent may require that users:
(1) Restrict their discharge during peak flow periods; and/or
(2) Designate that certain wastewater be discharged only into specific sewers; and/or
(3) Relocate and/or consolidate points of discharge; and/or
(4) Separate sewage wastestreams from non-residential wastestreams; and/or
(5) Install and maintain, at the user’s expense, one or more control manholes at specified locations to facilitate observation, wastewater monitoring and analysis; and/or
(6) Implement such other requirements as may be necessary to protect the POTW and determine the user’s compliance with the requirements of this chapter.
(B) The Superintendent 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. An individual or general wastewater discharge permit may be issued solely for flow equalization.
(C) The Superintendent shall require the installation of grease, oil, or solids interceptors when they are necessary for the proper handling of wastewater containing excessive amounts of grease, oil, or solids (i.e., sand, food scraps, particulates, etc.); except that such interceptors shall not be required for discharges of domestic wastewater from residential users.
(2) Wastewater containing grease, oil or solids, which does not otherwise violate this chapter; but which alone or in conjunction with other discharges necessitates increased maintenance activity to ensure the effective operation of the POTW, shall be considered to contain excessive amounts of grease, oil, or solids for purposes of this requirement.
(3) Wastewater generated by activities involving the preparation, handling, packaging or manufacture of food products for human consumption shall be considered to contain excessive amounts of grease and oil for purposes of this requirement; except where it can be demonstrated, to the satisfaction of the Superintendent, that:
(a) Such activities are substantially similar in nature to food preparation and handling activities which would be conducted in a single-family residential dwelling; and
(b) Such activities are not conducted in a manner or frequency exceeding that which would be expected to occur during a 24-hour period in a single-family residential dwelling.
(4) All interceptor units shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Superintendent, and shall be so located to be easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
(5) All interceptor units shall be inspected, cleaned, and repaired regularly by the user at their expense and as necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements of this chapter.
(D) Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter.
