(A) Submission of plans for pretreatment. Where pretreatment or equalization of wastewater flows prior to discharge into any part of the system is required, plans, specifications, other pertinent data or information, including installation of facilities and equipment relating to such pretreatment or flow-control facilities shall be subject to the review and approval of the Superintendent. Such approval shall not exempt the discharge unit from compliance with any applicable code, ordinance, rule, regulation, or order of any governmental authority. Any subsequent alterations or additions to such pretreatment or flow-control facilities shall not be made without due notice to and prior approval of the Superintendent.
(B) Required pretreatment facilities and their operation.
(1) For grease, oil, and inorganic materials such as sand, grit, and the like, interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the Superintendent, they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing floatable grease in excessive amounts, as specified in § 51.37(A)(2), or any flammable wastes, sand, or other harmful ingredients, except that such interceptors shall not be required for private residences 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. In maintaining the interceptors, the owner shall be responsible for the proper removal and disposal by appropriate means of the captured material and shall maintain records of the dates and means of disposal which are subject to review by the Superintendent. Any removal and hauling of the collected materials not performed by the owner must be performed by currently licensed waste disposal firms.
(2) If pretreatment of control of waste flows is required, such facilities shall be continuously maintained in good working order and operated as effectively and efficiently as possible by the owner at his own expense, subject to the requirements of these rules and regulations and all other applicable codes, ordinances, and laws. All pretreatment activities shall comply with federal law 40 CFR 403.
