& 219-4 SEWER UTILITY & 219-4 Each industry connected to the Utility sewer system shall be responsible for maintaining a quality of effluent from their premises, which conforms to the provisions established in their agreement with the Utility. Sampling and analysis shall be done so as to conform with accepted practice, and in accordance with the current edition of “Standard Methods for the Examination of W ater and W astewater”, published by the American Public Health Association, W ashington, D.C. The owner or operator of all retail food establishments, catering establishments, comm ercial food preparation facilities, meat processing facilities, and such other uses which may be designated by the Superintendent which may result in the accumulation of oils, fats, cellulose, starch, proteins or grease in the sanitary sewer system of the East Brunswick Sewer Utility, shall add into each sanitary sewer line serving such use a continuous application of a bacteriological culture and/or similar additive to control and treat such discharges, which culture formulation and application schedule shall be approved by the Superintendent. All appropriate records concerning the operation of such a program shall be made available to the Utility on a monthly basis. Other remedies shall also be considered if the above program is not successful. The cost of preparing and submitting this data for consideration by the Utility shall be borne by the industry. Likewise, the cost of sampling and analysis to determine compliance with the terms of the agreement shall be borne by the industry, although conducted by the Utility or its duly authorized representative. G. CONTROL MANHOLE Commercial or industrial custom ers permitted to connect to Utility sewers, even though not initially being required to provide pre-treatment, may be required to provide a control manhole and/or meter and sampler as described in & 219-4(F) and (I), whether upon initial connection or change in use. H. PENALTY OF DISCONTINUANCE In the event that any person or business fails to conform to these regulation, or fails to comply with the terms and conditions of their agreement with the Utility, which failure causes damage of any sort to the Utility or Utility’s employees, the Utility shall determine the extent of the damage and bill the industry accordingly. If such bill is not paid within twenty (20) calendar days from the date of the bill, legal action may be instituted to enforce collection, and the Utility may resort to termination of the connection after giving twenty-four (24) hours notice. The Utility reserves the right to cancel the agreement, upon one year’s written notice, in the event of repeated failure to comply with the terms of the agreement, or the Rates, Rules and Regulations of the Utility. In the event of imminent hazard to the system or personnel, or violations of the Clean W ater Enforcement Act (Chapter 28, P.L. 1990) the Utility reserves the right to terminate service immediately, and to substantiate the action within five (5) days thereafter. 21911
10-10 & 219-4 EAST BRUNSWICK CODE & 219-4 I. INDUSTRIAL W ASTE FLOW METER AND SAMPLER The person or business shall furnish, install and maintain a flow meter of the totalizer-indicator-recorder type, if required, to measure the discharge of industrial wastes, and a wastewater sampler to periodically take and preserve a portion of the wastewater stream, as described in & 219-4(F). The flow meter and wastewater sampler m ust be approved by the Utility, but the cost of said equipment and installation is to be borne by the industry. All costs of furnishing, installing and m aintaining the industrial waste flow and sampling equipment will be borne by the industry and the equipment shall be readily accessible to Utility personnel. J. INDUSTRIAL SEW ER RATES Service charges for industrial wastes shall be as shown in the section on rates.
SURCHARGE FOR HIGH-STRENGTH WASTEW ATERS High-strength wastewaters, including pretreated wastewaters, will be subject to rate surcharges. (See section on Rates) Surcharges shall be based on results of Utility surcharge sampling program. A monthly sample shall be taken and the strengths therein averaged for the entire quarter in which the sample was taken.
A single sample per month shall be averaged and the strengths therein charged for the entire month in which the sample was taken. L. INDUSTRIAL SERVICE REVISIONS The industrial wastewater parameters and the criteria for industrial waste limits are subject to future revision or modification as may be required by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, U.S.E.P.A., the Middlesex County Utilities Authority, and/or the East Brunswick Superintendent. M. AIR CONDITIONING UNITS Air conditioning units will not be permitted to discharge clean water into a sanitary sewer. Recirculation devices shall be used, or excess water shall be discharged to a separate point of disposal. Similarly, there shall be no discharge to a sanitary sewer from other sources of clean water, as determined by the Utility, such as condensate pumps, cooling towers, etc.
GREASE TRAPS Grease traps will be required on all food service establishment discharges, or on discharges from any facility which is expected to release quantities of grease and oil in excess of that of domestic waste. The type and manufacture of grease traps must be approved by the Superintendent before installation. The sizing of grease traps will be based upon the following criteria. Each applicant for a new grease or oil producing installation, and each existing user of the Utility system when requested, shall furnish the following information: 21912
10-10 & 219-4 SEWER UTILITY & 219-4 1. Description of establishment, including number of employees, number of patrons, number of seats, frequency of seating, and type of grease producing facilities. 2. A listing of fixtures, including their function, volume, and description, including dishwashers or other grease producing units. 3. A listing of the drain outline sizes or trap sizes of each fixture. 4. Total annual water use and daily minimum and maximum use. The sizing of grease traps will be established by the Superintendent, based upon Standard PDI-G101, as published by the Plumbing and Drainage Institute. The following adjustments may also be considered by the Utility: 1. Flow rate shall be based upon fixture drainage in a one minute period. 2. Additional allowance shall be m ade for dishwashers, or other grease discharging equipment. 3. A safety factor shall be built into all grease trap sizing to allow for inadequate cleaning and maintenance. Safety factors shall be viewed on a case by case basis. Grease traps shall be installed on the exterior of any food service establishment, in order for adequate cleaning and maintenance techniques to be utilized. The Utility may waive this requirement in the event of unusual hardship or other technical difficulty. The decision on the location of the grease trap on the interior or exterior of the building shall be solely that of the Utility. Specifications for grease traps are as follows: Grease trap chambers shall be constructed of non-corrosive materials, such as fiberglass. The chambers, if installed on the exterior of the building, shall be capable of sustaining 10 ton truck H2O loading, and shall have baffles and fittings made of non-corrosive materials. Access shall be available through 24" manhole frames and covers located at each end of the chamber. Units shall be equal to the product of Tyler pipe (Tyler, Texas), Town and Country (as distributed by Trap Zap of South Norwalk, Connecticut), or Zurn Industries (Erie, Pennsylvania) green Turtle. Installation of grease traps shall meet the recommendations of the Plumbing and Drainage Institute, including locations, flow control and venting. Grease Trap installation will also require a plumbing permit and compliance with Township plumbing code regulations. Sampling manholes for food service establishments shall be installed downstream of the grease trap, but upstream of any interconnection of bathroom sanitary service line and shall be inspected by the Superintendent. To obtain optimum operating efficiency of a grease interceptor, a regular schedule of maintenance must be adhered to. All grease interceptors must be cleaned regularly. The frequency of grease removal is dependent upon the capacity of the interceptor and the quantity of grease in the waste water. Grease removal intervals may vary from once a week to once in several weeks. W hen the grease removal interval has been determined for a specific installation, regular cleaning at that interval is necessary to maintain the rated efficiency of the interceptor. After this accumulated grease and waste material has been removed, the interceptor should be thoroughly checked to make sure that the inlet, outlet and air relief ports are clear of obstructions. 21913
10-10 & 219-5 EAST BRUNSWICK CODE & 219-5 & 219-5. Sewer Main Extensions A. GENERAL PROVISIONS Persons proposing subdivisions or developments requiring a main extension for sewer service shall prepare applications described in this section with the necessary supporting docum ents. The policy of the Utility is to permit extensions only when paid for and installed by the applicant. No facilities for collection, treatment or disposal of sewage within the “district” of the Utility (which corresponds with the boundaries of the Township) shall be constructed unless the Utility shall give its consent and the Superintendent shall approve Contract plans and specifications therefor. It is the policy of the Utility to charge connection fees for connection to its sewer system following the rates set forth in the Utility’s Rate Schedule. The connection fee is charged per Service Unit. Connection fees shall be payable prior to submission of Application unless specific arrangements are agreed upon. If payment is not received within this period, the project may not proceed and the connection fee shall be at the prevailing rate at the time of receipt of the check. The applicant shall also be subject to any change in regulations. If the project is to be constructed in sections the connection fees may be paid for each section prior to application for acceptance of each section, at the prevailing connection fee at the time of each section’s acceptance. Unless otherwise approved, where locations do not front the sanitary sewer, residential subdivisions containing three or more building sites or lots or any residential structure to be used by three or more families, regardless of volume of flow, and all non residential developments such as schools, commercial buildings, industrial buildings and other structures will be required to install a sanitary sewer system to be connected with the nearest existing sanitary sewer in the Township. Exceptions may be made only where: 1. developments lie within the Septic System Management Area formed by the Township (where special requirements are imposed), or, 2. the applicant will not create an environmental hazard. 3. the applicant obtains a certification from the Superintendent that mandatory connection is not required under existing municipal law. For residential subdivisions not fronting on a sanitary sewer and containing two or less building sites or lots, or if the lands are deemed by the Utility to be too remote from any existing facilities, consideration will be given to an individual sewage system with a dry sanitary sewer system or approved alternative for future use in lieu of connection to existing facilities. Any main extension and related facilities (other than industrial septic systems) installed under the provisions of this section, or easement required for the purpose, shall be transferred to the Utility as hereinafter described. During construction but before final acceptance, the Utility shall have the right to use any completed portion of the system without waiving its right to further inspection or testing or to order correction of any defects provided the Utility does not unreasonably delay inspection, testing and acceptance of that portion of the system. 21914
10-10 & 219-5 SEWER UTILITY & 219-5 Use of the sanitary sewer system for the discharge of sump pumps, or drainage from cellar drains, leaders, downspouts, drainage tile, cooling system drains and other similar discharges shall not be permitted. Unpolluted industrial cooling waters and unpolluted drainage shall be discharged into a storm sewer or natural outlet. Easements will be required for sewers not located within an existing public right-of- way. The width of such easements will be determ ined by the Superintendent, depending on the size and depth of sewer to be located in the easem ent. Easements must be extended to the nearest adjacent property if future service will be required. Easement documents must be in a form acceptable to the Township Attorney, and must incorporate the following language:
No fill, material, machinery, appliances, or similar objects may be placed on the said premises which will impose an additional loading in excess of 100 lbs. per square inch (100 lbs/sq. inch) without the prior written approval of the Utility. Provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit the ability of grantors to use the land over the easement for the storage of vehicles. No trees may be planted on the easement within ten feet on either side of the location of the sewer line. Said trees shall not grow more than ten feet tall. Other types of shrubbery may be planted within the easement area, however, the same five foot distance from either side of the location of the pipe must be adhered to. No fences may be placed on or around the easement that preclude Utility access. No utilities may be placed across the easement without Superintendent approval; such approval will not be unreasonably withheld provided there is no hazard or exceptional impeding of access to Utility facilities. The Superintendent must be given adequate notice of any surface construction on or over the easement area. B. APPLICATIONS - GENERAL A sequence of applications for sewer extensions are required for the Utility’s determination of needs, availability of service, effect of proposed extension, and inspection of installed extension. Application forms are available from the Utility. No application will be considered unless a Professional Engineer registered in the State of New Jersey is in charge of the planning and design of the proposed sewerage facilities and has affixed his seal and signature to the submissions. Each application shall be submitted in duplicate with the designated fees to the Utility not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Planning Board meeting at which action on the application is desired. Applications shall be signed by the property owner. If the property owner is a partnership, applications shall be signed by a general partner, or in the case of a corporation, by an officer of the corporation. Signature of agent, attorney or engineer is not acceptable. Each application must be accom panied by those fees, deposits and guarantees described herein, or in the section on Fees and Charges. All fees accompanying applications shall be cash, certified check or acceptable other draft at the option of the Utility. (For standard applications, see & 219-11(A)) 21915
10-10 & 219-5 EAST BRUNSWICK CODE & 219-5 The review and inspection fees shall be placed in an escrow fund, with interest as required by law, from which expenses will be paid by voucher. If so required by the Utility, additional deposits shall be made by the Applicant to meet expenses; surplus funds shall be returned to the Applicant after payment of all fees and after final acceptance of the facility by the Utility. The Applicant will be required to pay all costs incurred by the Utility on his project. W here deposits or guarantees are based on estimated construction costs, a submission shall be made by the Applicant’s engineer and verified by the Superintendent. The approved construction cost shall be based on the estimated period of construction and shall include all on-site and off-site work; and for bonding
purposes a 20% contingency allowance will be added. Inspection work by the Township, its employees, engineer or agents is intended only to review compliance of the work with the approved design documents. These inspections or lack thereof are not intended to review safety precautions, adherence to State or Federal regulations, or hazards to the public, contractor employees, or third parties. Each applicant assumes full responsibility for damages or injuries caused on its work sites, and agrees to indemnify and provide separate defense for the Township and representatives against all actions or claims. W here off-site facilities are involved, the following policies shall prevail: 1. The Applicant is considered responsible for providing off-site facilities to provide capacity for his development. 2. The design of off-site facilities is to be undertaken by the Applicant, and shall be subject to design standards established by the Utility and subject to review of the Engineer and approval of the Superintendent. The off-site design is based upon the total community needs, rather than capacity for the development alone. The design parameters shall be provided to the Applicant by the Utility. 3. W here the Utility requires additional capacity for areas outside of the development, it will assume any increment of cost for service to such areas. 4. Off-site facilities shall be installed by the Applicant, and shall be subject to design standards established by the Utility and subject to review of the Engineer and approval of the Superintendent. The Applicant’s share of the costs must be available to finance the initial construction (i.e. the Utility should not be required to finance the Applicant’s share) unless specific alternate arrangements are approved by the Utility. 5. The Utility’s share of off-site facilities may be credited against connection fees. If the Utility’s share exceeds the total of all connection fees, a lump sum payment may be made toward the cost. 6. All approved and accepted on-site and off-site facilities installed by the Applicant shall be transferred to the Utility, where they lie in public rights of way or easements. Said transfer of facilities must take place prior to the release of performance guarantees. 21916
10-10 & 219-5 SEWER UTILITY & 219-5 C. APPLICATION FOR CONCEPTUAL REVIEW -TW O OR MORE RESIDENTIAL UNITS An application describing the proposed residential, com mercial, or industrial development, or other project, shall be submitted to the Superintendent with supporting data to determine the economic and technical feasibility of extending sewer service. This application shall be submitted concurrent with filing of conceptual sub-division or site plan application with the East Brunswick Planning Board or Zoning Board. The Superintendent may defer or waive certain parts of this supporting data at its discretion where the cost of data preparation is excessive for the development or project planning and approvals. Approval of this application shall extend for a period not to exceed one year from date of approval. In addition to the application, the Applicant shall furnish two (2) copies of a general location plan (min. scale 1" = 100') showing streams, streets, lots, blocks and tax map numbers, copy of application submitted to the Planning Board, location of any existing water distribution and/or sanitary systems in the area, proposed system outline and route of construction, and estimated quality and volume of flow. Elevations shall be based on the Township datum (NAVD 88) The Superintendent shall analyze the submitted application and supporting data and report to the Applicant the Utility’s recommendations and/or findings. These findings may be furnished to the Township Planning or Zoning Board as support material. If the Superintendent determines that portions of the existing downstream system do not have sufficient capacity to accept flow from the proposed development, then the Utility may require payment for, or the construction of, supplementary off-site facilities to accommodate the additional flow. Costs shall include all engineering and overhead costs. Download 8.87 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
