limitations on discharges established in the individual discharge
permits.
b) Discharges from each separate discharge of a User, as measured under
the provisions of this Ordinance, shall not contain in excess of the
permitted allocation of the pollutants based upon a 24 hour com-
posite sample. Multiply industrial wastewater discharges from a
permitted facility may be combined in a flow weighted manner to deter-
mine compliance with the permitted limitations.
c) The Village will maintain a reserve of 10% to 15% of the maxizue
allowable infulent limit of each pollutant for new industries
or increase with existing industries. The Village will recalculate
the maximum concentrations from time to time to refelct removal
credits allowed, based on using site specific data.
Section 300.115 Incorporation of National Categorical Pretreatment Standards
a) National Categorical Pretreatment Standards (NCPS) shall be

through or to violate the regulatory provisions of this Ordinance
shall provide portection form accidental discharge to the POTW of
prohibited materials or other substances regulated by this Ordinance
Facilities to prevent accidental discharge of prohibited materials
shall be provided and maintained at the User's expense.
b) All Industrial Users whose wastewater includes or could include
compatible or incompatible pollutants in amounts great enough

such pollutants to the POTW after the effective date of this
Ordinance shall be permitted to introduce such pollutants into the
POTW until accidental discharge facilities and procedures, as .

to modify its facility as necessary to meet the requirements of this
Ordindance.
c) In the case of an accidental or deliberate discharge of compatible
or incompatible pollutants which may cause Interference or Pass
Through or violate requirements of this Ordinance, it shall
be the responsibility of the Industrial User to immediately
telephone and notify the Village of the incident. The notificaticn
shall include name of caller, location and time of discharge, and the
characteristics and volume of the discharge.
d) Wihtin fifteen (15) days following such an accidental or deliberate
discharge, the Industrial User shall submit to the Village a detailed
written report describing the cause of the discharge and the measures
to be taken by the User to prevent similar fuure occurrences. Follow-
up reports may be required by Village as needed. Such report, or
reports, shall not relieve the Industreial User of any expense, loss,
damage or other liability which may be incurred as a result of
damage to the POTW, fish kills, or any other damage to person or
porperty; nor shall such report relieve the User of any fines,
civil penalties, or other liability which may be imposed under this
Ordinance or otherwise. Failure to report accidental or deliberate
discharges may, in addition to any other remedies available to
Village, result in the revocation of the discharges Wastewater
Discharge Permit.
e) The Industrial User shall control its production and discharges to the
extent necessary to maintain in compliance with all. applicable
Pretreatment Standards and Requirements upon complete or partial
breakdown, or malfunction or failure of its treatment facility until

d) Wastewater discharged by a wastewater hauler shall comply with
the provisions of Part 300.
e) Each load delivered to the wastewater pumping station must be
accompanied by a water hauler manifest properly filled out by the
scale operator on duty and signed by the wastewater hauler. The
sources of all liquied wastes being hauled to the POTW treat-
ment plant shall be properly documented using the Village
manifest system.
f) All procedures for discharging, cleanliness and sanitary operation
prescribed by the Village shall be strictly adhered to by all
wastewater haulers delivering wastewater to the POTW dumping station.
g) Wastewater from non -Industrial Users shall not be mixed with
wastewater from Industrial Users. Vehicles hauling wastewater
from an Industrial User shall not be used to haul Wastewater from
a non -Industrial User for disposal at the POTW.
