(A) Users shall provide wastewater treatment as necessary to comply with this subchapter and shall achieve compliance with all categorical pretreatment standards, local limits, and the prohibitions set out in §§ 55.300 through 55.309 within the time limitations specified by EPA, the state, or the Wastewater Operations Manager, whichever is more stringent.
(B) Any equipment necessary for compliance shall be provided, operated, and maintained at the user's expense. Detailed plans describing such facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the Wastewater Operations Manager for review, and shall be acceptable to the Wastewater Operations Manager before such facilities are constructed. The review of such plans and operating procedures shall in no way relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying such facilities as necessary to produce a discharge acceptable to the utility under the provisions of this subchapter.
(C) Whenever deemed necessary, the Wastewater Operations Manager 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 sewage works and determine the user's compliance with the requirements of this subchapter.
(D) When requested by the Wastewater Operations Manager, a user must submit information on the nature and characteristics of its wastewater within 30 days of the request. The Wastewater Operations Manager is authorized to prepare a form for this purpose and may periodically require users to update this information.
(E) The Wastewater Operations Manager may require any person discharging into the sewage works 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.
(F) Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the Wastewater Operations Manager, 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 type and capacity approved by the Wastewater Operations Manager and shall be so located to be easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Shop drawings for all interceptors shall be submitted to the utility for approval prior to being put in service. Such interceptors shall be inspected, cleaned, and repaired regularly, as needed, by the user at their expense. Maintenance and hauling operations should be documented and records made available at the request of the Wastewater Operations Manager.
(G) Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter.
(H) If the Wastewater Operations Manager allows the pretreatment or equalization of waste flows, the design and installation of the plant and equipment shall be subject to the review and approval of the Wastewater Operations Manager and subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances and laws. Plans, specifications and any other pertinent information relating to pretreatment or control facilities shall be submitted for approval of the town and no construction of those facilities shall be commenced until approval in writing is granted.
