receiving waters
(o) Discharges that would result in excess foaming during the treatment process.
Excess foaming is any foam which, in the opinion of the Manager, is a nuisance
in the treatment
process.
SECTION 4. If any waters or wastes are discharged, or are proposed to be
discharged, to the public sewers, which waters contain the substances or possess
the characteristics enumerated in Section 3 of this Article, and which in the
judgment of the Manager may have a deleterious effect upon the sewage works,
processes, equipment or receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to
life or constitute a public nuisance, the Village may:
(a) Reject the waste
(b) Require pretreatment to the level defined as "normal strength sewage".
(c) Require pretreatment to a compatible level and in accordance with applicable
Federal and State pretreatment regulations (other than normal strength sewage)
for discharge to the public sewers.
If the Village permits the pretreatment or equalization of waste flows, the
design and installation of the plants and equipment shall be subject to the
review and approval of the Manager and subject to the requirements of all
applicable codes, ordinances and laws.
SECTION 5. Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the

SECTION 7. When required by the Village, the owner of any property serviced by a
building sewer caring industrial wastes shall install a suitable control manhole
together with such necessary meters and other appurtenances in the building
sewer to facilitate observation, sampling and measurement of the wastes. Such
manhole, when required, shall be accessible and safely located, and shall be
constructed in accordance with plans approved by the Village. The manhole shall
be installed by the owner at his expense, and shall be maintained by him so as
to be safe and accessible at all time.
SECTION 8. All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of water
and wastes to which reference is made in this ordinance shall be determined in
accordance with the most recent
edition of "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Sewage and/or
Federal Regulation 40CFR136 and shall be determined at the control manhole
provided for, or upon suitable samples taken at, said control manhole. In the
event that no special manhole has been required, the control manhole shall be
considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in the public sewer to the point
at which the building sewer is connected.
Sampling shall be carried out by customarily accepted methods to reflect the
effect of constituents upon the sewage works and to determine the existence of
hazards to life, limb and property. The particular analyses involved will
determine whether a 24-hour composite of all out falls of a premises is
appropriate or whether grab sample or samples should be taken. The
responsibilities of industry are further defined in the "Industrial Waste
Control Program" shown in Article VI of this ordinance.
SECTION 9. No statement contained in this article shall be construed as
preventing any special agreement or arrangement between the Village and any
industrial concern whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength or character
may be accepted by the Village for treatment, subject to payment therefore, by
the industrial concern.
SECTION 10. Industrial cooling water containing such pollutants as insoluble
oils or grease, or other suspended solids shall be treated for removal of the
pollutants and then discharged to the storm sewer or drain.
SECTION 11. Agents of the Village, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, or
US Environmental Protection Agency shall have the right to enter all properties
for the purpose of inspecting, measuring, sampling and testing the wastewater
discharge.
ARTICLE VI - INDUSTRIAL WASTE CONTROL PROGRAM
SECTION 1. One person from each industry shall be delegated the authority to be
responsible for industrial wastes admitted to the Village sewers. He shall be
involved with maintaining any pretreatment facility operations and assuring a
continual high level of performance. In case no pretreatment is provided, he
shall be involved with prevention of accidental discharges of process wastes
admitted to the sanitary sewer system. He must become aware of all potential and
routine toxic wastes generated by his industry. He must be informed of all
process alterations which could, in any manner, increase normal daily flow or
waste strength discharged to the sanitary sewers.
SECTION 2. This industrial representative shall catalogue all chemicals stored,
used or manufactured by his industry. Such a listing shall include specific
chemical names, not manufacturer's codes. These wastes admitted to the sanitary
sewer are a prime concern; however, all discharges shall be catalogued. An
estimate of daily average flows and strengths shall be made including process,
cooling, sanitary, etc. Such a determination should separate the flows according
to appropriate categories. The aforementioned flow and chemical listing is to be
sent to the Manager and shall be treated as confidential information.
SECTION 3. The industrial representative should attempt to determine whether or
not large process alterations will occur during the next few years - one year,
two years, five years. He should consult with management to determine if such
alterations are scheduled and forthcoming.
SECTION 4. A sketch of the plant buildings shall be made, including a diagram of
process and chemical storage areas. Location of any pretreatment equipment must
be indicated, and floor drains located near process and storage areas must be
noted. Manhole and sewer locations at the industry's point of discharge into the
municipal collection system must be included on the plant layout sketch.
SECTION 5. There shall be separation of spent concentrates from the sanitary
sewer to prevent toxic wastes from upsetting the treatment plant. Supervision
and operation of equipment for pretreatment of spent concentrates, toxic wastes
and high strength organic wastes, to and acceptable level as detailed in the
Village Sewer Use Ordinance, is the responsibility of the industrial
representative. All sludge's generated by such treatment must be handled in an
acceptable manner - such as in a designated area of a sanitary landfill or by a
licensed waste hauler. Adequate segregation of those waters and wastes to be
pretreated to meet discharge limits is a vital portion of the industrial effort
to prevent operational problems at the wastewater treatment plant.
SECTION 6. Adequate secondary containment or curbing must be provided to protect
all floor drains from accidental spills and discharges to the receiving sewers.
Such curbing should be sufficient to hold 150% of a total process area tank
volume. All floor drains within a containment area must be plugged and sealed.
Spill through or sumps within process areas must discharge to appropriate
pretreatment tanks. Secondary containment shall be provided for chemical storage
areas and for storage tanks which may be serviced by commercial hailers.
SECTION 7. If so directed by the Village, an adequate sampling vault or manhole
must be provided at the Owner's expense, in a fully accessible place for
personnel to obtain waste samples and flow measurement data. The complexity of
the vault will vary with the sampling requirements the Manager determines
necessary to protect the treatment plant and receiving streams. Should the
Village desire continual flow recording and long duration, 24-hour composite
sampling, then a more complex manhole would be mandatory - complete with 120
volt AC. Samples collected may be divided between the industry and Village for
analysis if so desired by the industry. Industrial users which are subject to
"Industrial Cost Recovery," as defined in the Village Sewer Rate and Connection
Ordinance, shall install suitable monitoring equipment as described above and as
approved by the Village.
SECTION 8. A yearly surveillance fee may be initiated to reduce some equipment
costs or for maintenance of monitoring devices. If a graduated surcharge is
deemed necessary to monitor industrial discharges, then a factor may be
incorporated to reduce the costs as industry lowers its waste strength. The
Village will encourage continued progress in industrial waste control. A
graduated surcharge may not be required if industry provides adequate safeguard
devices and treatment facilities to insure protection of the municipal treatment
plant and biological processes involved.
ARTICLE VII - POWERS AND AUTHORITY OF INSPECTORS
SECTION 1. The Manager and other duly authorized employees of the Village,
bearing proper credentials and identification, shall be permitted to enter upon
all properties for the purpose of inspection, observation, measurement, sampling
and testing in accordance with the provision of this ordinance. The Manager or
his representatives shall have no authority to inquire into any proprietary
processes beyond any information having a direct bearing on the kind and source
of discharge to the sewers and waterways or facilities for waste treatment.
SECTION 2. While performing the necessary work on private properties referred to
in Article VII, Section 1 above, the Manager or duly authorized employees of the
Village shall observe all safety rules applicable to the previous established by
the property owner, and the property owner shall be held harmless for injury or
death to the employees, and the Village shall indemnify the claims and demands
for personal injury or property damage asserted against the company and growing
out of the gauging and sampling operation, except as such may be caused by
negligence or failure of the company to maintain safe conditions as required in
Article V. Section 8.
ARTICLE VIII - PROTECTION FROM DAMAGE
SECTION 1. No unauthorized person shall maliciously, willfully or negligently
break, damage, destroy, uncover, deface or tamper with any structure,
appurtenance or equipment which is a part of the sewage works. Any person
violating this provision shall be subject to immediate arrest under charge of
disorderly conduct.
ARTICLE IX - CONDITIONS OF SERVICE
SECTION 1. At the time of original construction of the public sewer, the Village

Works which were funded in part by US EPA Construction Grants received after
March 1, 1973. The charge will be levied in accordance with Federal Regulations
in force after July 1, 1980 and will be based on waste volume, delivery flow
rate, and pollutant loadings as they may affect the capacity of eligible Sewage
Works. The Village shall reserve the right to adjust said industrial cost
recovery charges to any sewer user that significantly alters its waste volume or
delivery flow rate. Affected users shall only be required to pay charges for

Capacity per unit of time per unit of time)
Industrial cost recovery charges shall be calculated and paid annually in an
amount equal to the total industrial cost recovery charge for any industrial
user divided by thirty (30) years.
SECTION 5. For purposes of industrial cost recovery calculations, the affected
industrial user shall monitor its industrial waste stream(s) as directed by the
Manager, and no less than quarterly and at the user's expense. The Manager shall
