(A) If wastewater containing any substance described in §§ 51.36 and 51.37 is discharged or proposed to be discharged into the system, the Superintendent or Village Solicitor may take any action necessary to:
(1) Prohibit the discharge of such wastewater.
(2) Require the discharge unit to demonstrate that inplant modifications will control, reduce, or eliminate the discharge of such substances in conformity with this subchapter. This may include control over the quantities and rates of discharge.
(3) Require pretreatment, including storage facilities, or flow equalization necessary to reduce or eliminate the objectionable characteristics or substances so that the discharge will not violate this subchapter and such rules, and regulations as shall relate thereto.
(4) Require the discharge unit making, causing, or allowing the discharge to pay any additional cost or expense incurred by the village for handling and treating excess loads imposed on the system.
(5) Take such other remedial action as may be deemed to be desirable or necessary to achieve the purpose of this subchapter.
(B) All industrial wastes discharged to the system by major contributing industries shall as a minimum meet the national pretreatment standards or best practical control technology currently available for incompatible pollutants as published in the latest federal regulations, unless the village is committed, in its NPDES permit to remove a specified percentage of the incompatible pollutant. In those instances the applicable pretreatment standards may be correspondingly reduced to levels determined by the Superintendent.
(C) No statement contained in this section shall be construed as preventing any special agreement or arrangement between the village and any discharge unit concern whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength or character may be accepted by the village for treatment, subject to possible payment therefor by the discharge unit for subsequent treatment.
(D) After passage of this section, each discharge unit which discharges industrial wastes into the system shall prepare and file with the village a written statement setting forth the nature of the operation contemplated or presently carried on, the amount and source of water required for use, the proposed point of discharge of said wastes into the system, subject to possible payment therefor by the discharge unit for subsequent treatment, the estimated amount to be so discharged and a fair statement setting forth the expected bacterial, physical, chemical, and other known characteristics of said wastes. Within a reasonable time of receipt of such statement, it shall be the duty of the village to set any minimum restrictions which are stricter than those for other discharge units as in the judgment of the Superintendent may be necessary to guard adequately against prohibited uses of the system.
