(A) Pretreatment facilities. Users shall provide wastewater treatment as necessary to comply with this subchapter and wastewater permits issued under § 51.60(B) of this chapter and shall achieve compliance with all national categorical pretreatment standards, local limits and the prohibitions set out in § 51.49 of this chapter within the time limitations as specified by EPA, the state or the POTW Director, whichever is more stringent. Any facilities necessary for compliance shall be provided, operated and maintained at the user’s expense. Detailed plans showing the pretreatment facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the town for review, and shall be approved by the POTW Director before construction of the facility. The review of such plans and operating procedures shall in no way relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying the facility as necessary to produce an effluent acceptable to the town under the provisions of this subchapter. Any subsequent changes in the pretreatment facilities or method of operation shall be reported to and be approved by the POTW Director prior to the user’s initiation of the changes.
(B) Additional pretreatment measures.
(1) Whenever deemed necessary, the POTW Director 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 wastestreams from industrial wastestreams and such other conditions as may be necessary to protect the POTW and determine the user’s compliance with the requirements of this subchapter.
(2) The POTW Director may require any person discharging into the POTW to install and maintain, on his or her property and at his or her expense, a suitable storage and flow-control facility to ensure equalization of flow. A wastewater discharge permit may be issued solely for flow equalization.
(3) Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the POTW Director, they are necessary for the proper handling of wastewater containing excessive amounts of grease and oil, or sand. All interception units shall be of type and capacity approved by the POTW Director and shall be so located to be easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Such interceptors shall be inspected, cleaned and repaired regularly, as needed, by the user at his or her expense. Whenever the POTW’s inspection of the interceptor results in a written notice for action on the part of the person responsible for the interceptor, such action shall be completed within the compliance period granted by the POTW. No waste removed from the interceptor shall be introduced into the sanitary sewer or back into the interceptor which will cause the interceptor’s discharge to exceed the limits established by this subchapter. The owner shall maintain a written record of interceptor disposals and maintenance for three years.
(4) Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter at the user’s sole expense.
