The owner shall operate and maintain the private sewage disposal facilities in a sanitary manner at all times, at the owner(s) expense. No statement contained in construed to interfere requirements that may be Officer. this section shall be with any additional imposed by the Health Wastes Which May and Wastes Which Shall Not Be Discharged into Public Sewers and Drains No person shall discharge into any public sewer of the FISD any waste, substance, or waters other than such kinds or types of waters or water-carried wastes for the conveyance of which the particular public sewer is intended, designed, or provided. No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any stgrm water, surface water, ground wager, roof runoff, subsurface drainage, cooling water, air conditioning and refrigerating waste waters, or unpolluted industrial process waters to any sanitary sewer. Industrial cooling water or unpolluted process waters or storm water and all other unpolluted drainage, may not be discharged to sanitary sewers. No person(s) shall discharge or cause to be discharged any of the following described waters or wastes to any public sewers: 1. Any gasoline, benzene, naptha, fuel oil, or other flammable or explosive liquid, solid or gas. 7 Se Any waters containing toxic or poisonous solids, liquids, or gases in sufficient quantity, either singly or by interaction with other ~astes, to injure or interfere with any waste treatment process, constitute a hazard to humans or animals, create a public nuisance, or create any hazard in the receiving waters of the wastewater treatment plant. Any waters or wastes having a pH lower than 6.5 or in excess of 9.0, or having any other corrosive property capable of causing damage or hazard to structures, equipment, and personnel of the wastewater works. Any waters or wastes containing heat in such quantities as to cause influent temperature at the treatment facility to exceed 104~ degrees F (400 degrees C). Solid or highly viscous substances in quantities of or such size capable of causing obstruction to the flow in sewers, or other interference with the proper operation of the wastewater facilities such as, but not limited to, ashes, bones, cinders, sand, mud, straw, shavings, metal, glass, rags, feathers, tar, plastics, wood, unground garbage, whole blood, paunch, manure, hair and fleshings, entrails, paper dishes, cups, milk containers, etc., either whole or ground by garbage grinders. Any substances which may cause the wast·water treatment facility's effluent or any other produce of the wast·water facilitiy such as residues, sludges~ or scums to be unsuitable for reclamation process where the wastewater facility is pursuing a reuse and reclamation program. In no case, shall a substance discharged to the wastewater facility cause the facility to be in non-compliance with sludge use or disposal criteria, guidelines, or regulations developed under Section 405 of the Clean Water Act; any criteria, guidelines or regulations affecting sludge use or disposal developed pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Clean Air Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, or State Criteria, applicable to the sludge management method being used. Any liquids, solids, or gases which by reason of their nature or quantity are, or may be, sufficient either alone or by interaction with (e) other substances to cause fire or explosion or be injurious in any other way to the wastewater treatment facility or to the operation of the wastewater treatment facility. At no time, shall two (2) successive readings on an explosion hazard meter, at the point of discharge into the sewage collection system (or at any point in the system) be more than five (5%) percent nor any single reading over ten (10%) percent of the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) of the meter. The following described substances, materials, waters, or waste shall be limited in discharges to municipal systems to concentrations or quantities which will not harm either the sewers, wastewater treatment process or equipment, will not have an adverse effect on the receiving water or will not otherwise endanger lives, limb, public property, or constitute a nuisance. The FISD, acting upon the recommendation of technical advisors, may set limitations lower than the limitations established in the regulations below, if in their opinion, such more severe limitations are necessary to meet the above objectives. In forminq their opinion as to the acceptability, the Water Pollution Control Authority will give consideration to such factors as the quantity of subject waste in relation to flows and velocities in the sewers. materials of construction of the sewers, the wastewater treatment plant, degree of treatability of the waste in the wastewater treatment plant, and other pertinent factors. The limitations of restrictions on materials or characteristics of waste or wastewaters discharged to the sanitary sewer which shall not be violated without approval of the Water Pollution Control Authority are as follows: 1. Wastewater having a temperature higher than 150c degrees F (65Odegrees C). Any water or waste containing fats, wax, grease, or oils, whether emulsified or not, in excess of one hundred (100) mg/1 or containing substances which may solidify or become highly viscous at temperatures between 32=degrees F and 150°degrees F (0~degrees C and 65Cdegrees C).

Any waters or wastes containing odor producing substances exceeding limits which may be established by the FISD. 7o Any radioactive wastes or isotopes of such half life or concentration as may exceed limits established by the FISD in compliance with applicable state or federal regulations. 10 8. Materials which exert or cause: (i) Unusual concentrations of inert suspended solids (such as, but not limited to, Fullers earth, lime slurries, and lime residues) or of dissolved solids (such as, but not limited to, sodium chloride and sodium sulfate). (ii) Excessive discoloration limited to, dye wastes, solutions). (such as, b,llt ~©t and vegetable tanning (iii) Unusual BOD, COD, such quantities significant load works. or chlorine requirements in as to constitute a on the sewage treatment (iv) Unusual volume of flow or concentration of wastes constituting slugs as defined herein. All slug discharges, despite their severity, will be reported to the FISD prior to the time of discharge. (v) Any other wastes deemed unacceptable by the FISD. Waters or wastes containing substances which are not amenable to treatment or reduction by the wastewater treatment processes employed, or are amenable to treatment only to such degree that the wastewater treatment plant effluent cannot meet the requirements of agencies having jurisdiction over discharge to the receiving waters. 10. Anyl water or wastes which, by interaction with other water or wastes in the public sewer system, release obnoxious gases, form suspended solids which interfere with the collection system, or create a condition deleterious to structures and treatment processes or which may cause the effluent limitations of the NPDES Discharge Permit to be exceeded. If any waters or wastes are discharged or are proposed to be discharged to the public sewers, which waters c~ntain the substance or possess the characteristics enumerated in Section 76-4.(e) of this chapter, and/or which in the judgement of the Water Pollution Control Authority may have a deleterious effect upon the wastewater facilities, processes, equipment, or receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the FISD may: 11 (g) (h) (i) (J) 1. Reject the wastes; 2. Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge to the public sewers; 3. Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge; and/or 4. Require payment to cover the adJed co$~ of handling and treating the ~{astes. If the FISD and DEC allows 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 Water Pollution Control Authority and DEC and subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances, and laws. Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the FISD they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing floatable grease in excessive amounts, or any flammable wastes, sand or other harmful ingredients, except that such interceptors shall not be required for private living quarters or dwelling units. All interceptors shall be a type and capacity approved by the FISD and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Where pretreatment of flow-equalizing facilities are provided or required for any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner(s) at his expense. When required by the DEC or the FISD, the owner of any property serviced by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install a suitable structure together with such necessary meters and other appurtenances in the building sewer to facilitate observation, sampling, and measurement of the wastes. Such structure, when required, shall be accessibly and safely located, and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the FISD. The structure shall be installed by the owner(s) at his expense and shall be maintained by him so as to be safe, accessible, and in satisfactory operation at all times. The FISD may require a user of sewer services to provide information needed to determine compliance with this chapter. These requirements may include but are not limited to: 12 (k) (1) Wastewater discharge peak rate and volume over a specified time period. 2. Periodic chemical analyses of wastewaters. 3. Information on raw materials, processes, and products affecting wastewater volume and quality. Quantity and dispc, sition of specific li~id, sludge, oil, solvent, or other materials ir.p©rtant to sewer use control. 5. A plot plan of sewers of the users property showing sewer and pretreatment facility location. 6. Details of wastewater pretreatment facilities. 7. Details of systems to prevent and control the losses of materials through spills to the municipal sewer. Provide certification that the user is not discharging contaminated water such as storm water, ground water, or sub-surface drainage to the sanitary sewer system, and that the piping system to convey such waters is completely separate from the sanitary sewer system. Ail measurements, tests, and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in this chapter shall be determined in accordance with the latest edition of STANDARD METHODS FOR THE EXAMINATION OF WATER AND WASTEWATER, published by the American Public Health Association. Sampling methods, location, times, durations, and frequencies are to be determined on an individual basis subject to approval by the Superintendent. 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 twenty-four (24) hour composite of all outfalls of a premise is appropriate or whether a grab sample or samples should be taken. Normally, but not always, BOD and suspended so.lids analyses are obtained from twenty-four (24) hour composites of all outfalls whereas pH's are determined from periodic grab samples.) The admission wastes having three hundred in the public sewers of any waters or (1) a five (5) day BOD greater than (300) milligrams per liter by weight, or 13 (2) containing more than three hundred fifty (350) milligrams per liter by weight of suspended solids, or (3) containing any quantity of substance having the characteristics described in Section 76-4.(d) or (4) having a chlorine demand of more than fifteen (15) milligrams per liter by weight or (5) having an average daily flow greater than ten (40%) percent of the average daily sewage flow of the District, shall be subject to the review and approval of the FISD. Where necessary in the opinion of the FISD, the o'~ner(s) shall provide, at his ex?ense, such preliminary treatment as may be necessary to (1) reduce the BOD to three hundred (300) milligrams per liter by weight, the suspended solids to three hundred fifty (350) milligrams per liter by weight, and the chlorine demand to fifteen (15) milligrams per liter by weight, or (2) reduce objectionable characteristics or constituents to within the maximum limits provided for in Section 76-4.(d) or (3) control the quantities and rates of discharge of such waters or wastes. Plans, specifications, and any other pertinent information relating to proposed preliminary treatment facilities shall be submitted for the approval of the FISD and of any or all State Regulatory Agencies having jurisdiction, and no construction of such facilities shall be commenced until said approvals are obtained in writing. (m) Determination of Exclusion of Wastes - In determining whether any waste discharged or proposed to be discharged into any public sewer is to be excluded, consideration will be given to the quantity, time or times, rate and manner of discharge, dilution and character of the waste in question, the size of the sewer into which the waste is to be discharged, the probablle quantity of sewage or other wastes likely in said sewer, and other pertinent facts. Minute quantities of a waste which would be objectionable in larger quantities may be accepted if sufficiently diluted when and as discharged, or if the quantity discharged is small as compared with the flow in the receiving sewer; but any permission to discharge minute quantities of an otherwise excluded waste shall be revocable at any time by the Superintendent. (n) Pre-treatment Facilities At all premises where wastes or substances specified to be excluded from public sewers by these regulations are present and liable to be discharged directly or indirectly into said sewers, suitable and sufficient piping layouts, oil, grease, sand and flammable waste traps or separators, screens, settling tanks, diluting devices, storage or regulating chambers, treatment, cooling or 14 (o) (P) Section 76-5 (a other equipment and devices shall be provided. These shall be maintained and properly operated by the owner(s) of the premises or his agent at his expense to insure that no waste or substance is discharged in violation of the requirements of these regulations. Ail measurements, tests, and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in this section shall be determined ~n accordance with the latest edition of STA~;DARD I<i~THODS FOR THE EXA~<INATION OF WATER AND SE~AGE. 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. Each user shall provide protection from accidental discharge of prohibited materials or other substances regulated by this Chapter. Facilities to prevent accidental discharge of prohibited materials shall be provided and maintained at the owner(s) or user's own cost and expense. The Commissioner of DEC may require that plans showing facilities and operating procedures be submitted for review and approval prior to construction of the facilities. (1) Within five (5) days following an accidental discharge, the user shall submit to the Director and Commissioner of DEC a detailed written report describing the cause of the discharge and the measures to be taken by the user to prevent similar future occurrences. Such notification shall not relieve the user of any expenses, loss, damage, or other liability which may be incurred as a result of damage to the wastewater treatment facility, fish kills, aquatic plants, or any other damage to persons or property; nor shall such notification relieve the user of any fines, civil penalties, or other liability which may be imposed by this chapter or other applicable law. (2) A notice shall be permanently posted on the user's bulletin board or other prominent place advising employeees whom to call in the event of a dangerous discharge. Employers shall insure that all employees are advised of the emergency notification procedure.

(b) A separate and independent building sewer shall be provided for every building except that, when two (2) or more buildings are so situated that separate and independent building sewers for each building would be impractical or impose unnecessary hardship, the FISD may authorize a single building sewer connection to the public sewer subject to such terms and conditions as to easement, design, and construction as the Town Engineer may require. (c) No building shall be connected to a public sewer unless the plumbing system of said building has a soil vent pipe extended to a point above the roof. The FISD may require that no running trap, main house trap or other device which might prevent the free flow of air throughout the whole course of the building sewer, house drain and said soil vent pipe, will be allowed. 19 (d) The building sewer shall be cast iron soil pipe, vitrified clay sewer pipe; polyvinyl chloride pipe or other suitable material approved by the FISD. All pipe materials shall conform with the latest standard specifications of the ASTM as approved by the FISD. Any part of the building sewer that is located within ten (10') feet of a water service pipe shall be constructed of cast iron soil pipe. Wherever possible, water service and house sewer pipes shall be laid in separate trenches. Where lald in the same trench, the water pipe shall be l~id on a bench at least twelve (12") inches above the top of the sewer pipe and at least twelve (12") inches, and preferably eighteen (18") inches from the side of the sewer trench. Cast iron pipe may be required where the building sewer is exposed to damage by tree roots. If installed in filled or unstable ground, the building sewer shall be of cast iron soil pipe, except that nonmetallic material may be accepted if laid on a suitable concrete bed or cradle as approved by the FISD. No building sewer shall be located within twenty-five (25') feet of a cellar drain or ground water drain unless pipe is of cast iron. (e) The size and slope of the building sewer shall be subject to the approval of the FISD, but in no event shall the diameter be less than six (6") inches. The slope of such six (6") inch pipe shall be not less than one quarter (1/4") inch per foot. (f) In all buildings where the building drain is too low to permit gravity flow to the public sewer, sewage or other wastewaters carried by such drain shall be lifted by approved artificial means and discharged to the building sewer through a cast iron force main. All building drains, whether force mains or gravity lines, shall be of ca.st iron soil pipe from the inner face of the building wall to the point of connection with the building or house sewer, and all joints, including that with the building sewer, shall be made gas-tight, and water-tight by a method approved by the Town Engineer. (g) Ail excavations required for the installation of building sewer shall be open trench work unless otherwise approved by the Town Engineer. Whenever possible the building sewer shall be brought to the building at an elevation below the basement floor. No building sewer shall be laid parallel to or within three (3') feet of any bearing wall which might thereby be weakened. The depth of the building sewer shall be sufficient to afford protection from frost and in general such depth shall not be less than three 20 (h) (3') feet below the finished ground surface at all points. All building sewers shall be laid at uniform qrade and in straight alignment in so far as possible. Building sewers shall be laid in the following manner: Gravel bedding material will be required below all pipe and all utility structures. Gravel bedding shall be placed to the full width of the trench and to a depth of six (6") inches below the bottom of the pipe invert. Gravel bedding shall be placed twelve (12") inches beyound the widths of a utility structure foundation (base) and to a depth of six (6") inches from the bottom of the excavation to the bottom of the foundation (base). After a pipe is bedded the trench shall be filled to the centerline of the pipe with gravel bedding except at the joint. After the joint is inspected, that portion around the pipe shall be carefully and thoroughly tamped. From the centerline of the pipe to a point twelve (12") inches above the top of the pipe, the backfill shall be sand, placed by hand and hand tamped. Above this point, backfill shall be suitable material from excavation or, bank-run gravel. This backfill shall be placed in layers eight (8") inches deep and each layer shall be compacted with mechanical tampers to not less than ninety-five (95%) percent of maximum dry density. Building. sewers shall be located at a sufficient distance from other parallel pipes to permit alterations or repairs to any such pipes or the sewer pipe without disturbing the other; they shall be well cleaned inside after laying; and they shall conform to all reasonable requirements for good construction. The open ends of building sewers, building drains and building connection laterals shall be kept closed or protected during construction and during periods when work is suspended in order to exclude from the public sewer all water or debris which might obstruct, damage or otherwise be detrimental to the public sewer or sewage works. Abandoned building sewers or drains shall be likewise promptly closed and sealed off from any public sewer at the expense of the owner of the property. Ail joints and connections for or between building sewers, building drains, and building connection laterals shall be made gas-tight and water tight to wit: Cast iron, vitrified clay sewer pipe, polyvinyl chloride pipe or other suitable material approved by the FISD shall be 9asketed, and equipped with 21 tyton or mechanical joints. The pipe and joints shall conform to all applicable ASA and ASTM specifications. No paint, varnish or other coatings shall be permitted on any joint until after the joint has been tested and approved. The District shall require the use of low pressure air testing of gravity sewers to insure the joints are gas tight and water tight. The sewer line under test shall be plugged at both ends. The air hose shall be connected to a tapped plug to be used for air inlet to the line. The hose will be connected to portable air control equipment which must include a shut off valve, pressure regulating valve, pressure reduction valve, and a monitoring Dressure gauge with range from zero (0) to five (5) psi. Air shall be introduced from the air source through the control equipment to the pipeline. Air shall be slowly supplied to the test section, until a constant pressure of 3.5 psig is maintained. The air pressure shall be regulated to prevent the pressure inside the pipe from exceeding 5.0 psig. When constant pressure of 3.5 psig is reached, the air supply shall be throttled to maintain the internal pressure above 3.0 psig and shut off or disconnected from the air supply.- The gauge shall be observed until the air pressure reaches 3.0 psig. At 3.0 psig, the pressure drop shall be timed with a stop watch until the pressure drops to 2.5 psig. The time required for this 0.5 psig pressure drop shall be recorded and compared to the following tabulation. If the time for the 0.5 psig drop is less than that shown, the section will be considered to have failed, and source of leakage must be located, repaired and the section retested. Time Requirements for Air Testinq Pipe Size (inches) 8" or less 12" Time Minutes Seconds 5 06 6 22 7 39 9 35 22 Where ground water level is above the invert of the sewer line, the air test pressure must be increased 0.43 psi for each foot the ground water level is above the invert of the pipe, and the resulting pressure computed will be used for the starting pressure. The allowable drop (0.5 psig) and the time requirements will not change. All joints in vitrified clay pipe, poi]'v~n¥i chloride pipe, or other approved pipe, or between such pipes shall be made with rubber, or similar, gaskets. Hot poured jointing materials or cement mortar shall not be approved. Pipe and joints shall conform to all applicable ASTM specifications· Any jointing materials, other than those described in 1, 2, and 3, may be used only upon appoval by the Town Engineer. The connection of the building sewer into the public sewer shall be made at the "Y" branch, if such branch is available at a suitable location. If the public sewer is twelve (12") inches in diameter or less, and no properly located "Y" branch is available, the owner(s) shall at his expense install a "Y" branch in the public sewer at the location specified by the Town Engineer. Where the public sewer is greater than twelve (12") inches in diameter, and no properly located "y" branch is available, a neat hole may be cut into the public sewer to receive the building sewer, with entry in the downstream direction at an angle of about forty-five (45) degrees. A forty-five (45) degree "ell" may be used to make such connection, with the spigot end cut so as not to extend past the inner surface of the public sewer. Where street sewers are of asbestos-cement sewer pipe, the connection mav be made with a cast iron saddle, in the event that no fitting is available on the street sewer. The invert of the building sewer at the point of connection to twelve (12") inch diameter sewers or larger shall be connected to either match the center lines of such street sewers or be higher. A smooth neat joint shall be made, and the connection made secure and water-tight by encasement in concrete. Special fittings may be used on the connection only when approved by the District. 23 Section (i) When the building sewer trench has been excavated, and the building sewer repaired, altered or constructed, and is ready for inspection and connection to the public sewer, the Town Engineer shall be notified during regular working hours not less than eight (8) hours in advance of the time when the connection to the public sewer is planned. The connection of the building sewer to the public sewer shall be made under the supervision of the FISD and a record of all said connections, shall be kept by the District. If any person constructs, installs, alters, or repairs any building sewer or drain connecting with a public sewer in the District in violation of any section of these regulations or fails to give adequate notice to the Town Engineer for an inspection of the work, said Town Engineer may order all or any portion of said work to be uncovered for inspection and approval. (j) Ail excavations for building sewer installations shall be adequately guarded with barricades and lights so as to protect the public from hazard. (k) If any person, after proper order or direction from the District fails to remedy any violation of this Section or of any other section of these regulations, the Town Engineer may disconnect the building sewer of the property where the violation exists from the public sewer and may collect the cost of making such disconnection from any person or persons responsible for, or willfully concerned in, or who profited by such violation of the requirements of these regulations. 76-10 Powers and Authority of Inspectors (a) The Superintendent and any duly authorized employees of the District, the EPA, and/or the DEC bearing proper credentials and identification shall be permitted to enter all properties for the purpose of inspection, observation, measurement, sampling, and testing in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.

Require payment to cover the ad~ed handlina and treating the ~{astes. condition rates of cost of If the FISD and DEC allows the equalization of waste flows, installation of the plants and equipment shall be subject to the rev!ew and approval of the Water Pollution Control Authority and DEC and subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances, and laws. pretreatment or the design and Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the FISD they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing floatable grease in excessive amounts, or any flammable wastes, sand or other harmful ingredients, except that such interceptors shall not be required for private living quarters or dwelling units. All interceptors shall be a type and capacity approved by the FISD and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Where pretreatment of flow-equalizing facilities are provided or required for any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained conti~uously in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner[s) at his expense. When required by the DEC or the FISD, the owner of any property serviced by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install a suitable structure together with such necessary meters and other appurtenances in the building sewer to facilitate observation, sampling, and measurement of the wastes. Such structure, when required, shall be accessibly and safely located, and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the FISD. The structure shall be installed by the owner(s) at his expense and shall bs maintained by him so as to be safe, accessible, and · n satisfactory operation at all times. The FISD may require a user of sewer services to provide information needed to determine compliance with this chapter. These requirements may include but are not limited to: 12 (k) (1) 1. Wastewater discharge peak rate and volume over a specified time period. 2. Periodic chemical analyses of wastewaters. 3. Information on raw materials, processes, and products affecting wastewater volume and quality. Quantity and disposition of specific licuid, sludge, oil, solvent, or other materials imporuann to sewer use control~ 5. A plot plan of sewers of the users property showing sewer and pretreatment facility location. 6. Details of wastewater pretreatment facilities. 7. Details of systems to prevent and control the losses of materials through sp!lls to the municipal sewer. Provide certification that the user is not discharging contaminated water such as snorm waner, ground water, or sub-surface drainage to the sanitary sewer system, and that the piping syssem to convey such waters is completely separate from the sanitary sewer system. Ail measurements, tests, and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in this chapter shall be determined in accordance with the latest edition of STANDARD METHODS FOR THE EXAMINATION OF WATER AND WASTEWATER, published by the American Public Health Association. Sampling methods, location, times, durations, and frequencies are to be determined on an individual basis subject to approval by the Superintendent. 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 twenty-four (24) hour composite of all outfalls of a premise is appropriate or whether a grab sample or samples should be taken. Normally, but not always, BOD and suspended s~lids analyses are obtained from twenty-four (24) hour composites of all outfalls whereas pH's are determined from periodic grab samples.) The admission in the public sewers of any waters or wastes having (1) a five (5) day BOD greater than three hundred (300) milligrams per liter by weight, or 13 (m) (n) (2) containing more than three hundred fifty (350) milligrams per liter by weight of suspended solids, or (3) containing any quantity of substance having the characteristics described in Section 76-4.(d) or (4) having a chlorine demand of more than fifteen (15) milligrams per liter by weight or (5) having an average daily flow greater than ten (10%) percent of the average daily sewage flow of the District, shall be subject to the review and approval of the FiSD. Where necessary in tke opinion of the FISD, the owner(s) shall provide, at his expense, such preliminary treatment as may be necessary to (1) reduce the BOD to three hundred (300) milligrams per liter by weight, the suspended solids to three hundred fifty (350) milligrams per liter by weight, and the chlorine demand to fifteen (15) milligrams per liter by weight, or (2) reduce objectionable characteristics or constituents to within the maximum limits provided for in Section 75-4.(d) or (3) control the quantities and rates of discharge of such waters or wastes. Plans, specifications, and any other pertinent information relating to proposed preliminary treatment facilities shall be submitted for the approval of the FISD and of any or all State Regulatory Agencies having jurisdiction, and no construction of such facilities shall be commenced until said approvals are obtained in writing. Determination of Exclusion of Wastes In determining whether any waste discharged or proposed to be discharged into any public sewer is to be excluded, consideration will be given to the quantity, time or times, rate and manner of discharge, dilution and character of the waste in question, the size of the sewer into which the waste is to be discharged, the probabl~e quantity of sewage or other wastes likely in said sewer, and other pertinent facts. Minute quantities of a waste which would be objectionable in larger quantities may be accepted if sufficiently diluted when and as discharged, or if the quantity discharged is small as compared with the flow in the receiving sewer; but any permission to discharge minute quantities of an otherwise excluded waste shall be revocable at any time by the Superintendent. Pre-treatment Facilities - At all premises where wastes or substances specified to be excluded from public sewers by these regulations are present and liable to be discharged directly or indirectly into said sewers, suitable and sufficient piping layouts, oil, grease, sand and flammable waste traps or separators, screens, settling tanks, diluting devices, storage or regulating chambers, treatment, cooling or 14 (o) (P) Section 76-5 (a) other equipment and devices shall be provided. These shall be maintained and properly operated by the owner(s) of the premises or his agent at his expense to insure that no waste or substance is discharged in violation of the requirements of these regulations. Ail measurements, tests, and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in this section shall be determined in accordance with the latest edition of STA~[DARD METHODS FOR THE EXAMINATION OF WATER AND SE~AGE. 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. Each user shall provide protection from accidental discharge of prohibited materials or other substances regulated by this Chapter. Facilities to prevent accidental discharge of prohibited materials shall be provided and maintained at the owner(s) or user's own cost and expense. The Commissioner of DEC may require that plans showing facilities and operasing procedures be submitted for review and approval prior to construction of the facilities. (1) Within five (5) days following an accidental discharge, the user shall submit to the Director and Commissioner of DEC a detailed written report describing the cause of the discharge and the measures to be taken by the user to prevent similar future occurrences. Such notification shall not relieve the user of any expenses, loss, damage, or other liability which may be incurred as a result of damage to the wastewater treatment facility, fish kills, aquatic plants, or any other damage to persons or property; nor sha~l such notification relieve the user of any fines, civil penalties, or other liability which may be imposed by this chapter or other applicable law. (2) A notice shall be permanently posted on the user's bulletin board or other prominent place advising employeees whom to call in the event of a dangerous discharge. Employers shall insure that all employees are advised of the emergency notification procedure. Discharge of Effluents from Private Sewage Disposal Sysnems into Public Sewers and of Cleanings Therefrom No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged into any public sewer, either directly.or indirectly, 15 Section 76-6 (a) (b) Section 76-7 (a) any overflow or effluent from a septic tank, cesspool, subsurface drainage trench, bed or filter, or other receptable storing organic waste. Persons Authorized to Work in or on Public Sewers Connections to, alterations to, or repairs to any public sewer or the manholes or other appurtenances of said sewer system in the FtSD shall not be made by any person without a permit issued by the Superinten~ent. No unauthorized person shall open the cover of, enter or alter any manhole or other appurtenance of any public sewer, place or insert in any public sewer or its appurtenances any foreign material which said sewer or its appurtenances was not intended to receive, nor shall any person damage, destroy, uncover, deface, or tamper in any way with any public sewer or its appurtenances. Any person violating this provision of this chapter shall be subject to arrest under a charge of disorderly conduct. Building or House Sewer Permits There shall be building permits residential and commercial service. his agent shall make application on furnished by the District. for sewers for The owner(s) or a special form The application shall state the location and character of the work to be performed, the person granted permission to perform such work; the time limit for completion of the work, the general character of the wastes which are or may be discharged into the sewer in question; and any other pertinent information or conditions.

Ail costs and expenses incident to the installation and connection of the building sewer shall be borne by the ownerls). All building sewers shall be maintained by the owner(s) of the property served. When a building connection lateral" has been connected with a building sewer, the lateral shall become and thereafter be a part of such building connection and shall be maintained at the expense of the owner(s) of the property. No person, other than those working for and under the direction of the Superintendent shall excavate, construct, install, lay, repair, alter or remove any building or house sewer, or any appurtenance thereof, within the FISD, if such sewer is connected or discharged or is intended an some future time no be connected or discharged, directly or indirectly, into any publc sewer of said District, until said person has a permit secured by the owner(s) (or his agent) of the property in question for doing such work, and futher provided that said person has been granted a license to perform said work by the State of New York under the stipulations and requirements of Section 76-8 of these regulations. Any permit may be suspended or terminated by the FISD on written notice to the permittee for violation of the conditions thereof or for any violation of the requirements of these regulations or for other reasons in the public interest. Those Authorized to do Sewer Work Licensing of Drain Layers, Only the following person or persons shall construct," repair, alter, or remove building sewers or make connections therefrom to a public sewer; 1. Regular forces of or a contractor employed by the FISD. Regular forces of any public utility corporation while engaged in work incidental to the regular structures of said utility company and operating under a permit issued by the FISD. 3o Any .person who shall have been licensed by the State of New York to perform work of this type during the period provided by the license and under the conditions of the license. Such persons 17 (b) (c) (d) shall be called licensed drain layers as defined in Section 76-2.(o); all drains and fixtures within structures shall be connected by plumbers and others in conformance with the requirements of this chapter as to what may or what shall not be discharged into public sewers. Any person licensed as a drain layer shall give personal attention to the work performed and shall employ only competent persons, who are f~mi!iar with this chapter. Each licensed drain layer shall file with the FISD a performance and guaranty bond, which shall remain in full force for at least twelve (12) months from the date of application for a permit as provided in Section 76-7, in the amount of not less than five thousand (S5,000.00) dollars in form and with sureny satisfactory to the FISD.

Section 76-9 Materials and Workmanship for Building Sewers, t~eir Connections and Appurtenances The following requirements of this section shall apply to any person licensed to do sewer work and who has a building or house sewer permit to do such sewer work as provided in Section 76-7 and 76-8 of these regulations: . (a) Old building sewers may be used and connected to a public sewer, when serving new buildings, only when they are found on examination or test by the Town Engineer to meet all requirements of this section. The Town Engineer may require, where indicated, the uncovering of old sewers for inspection. (b) A separate and independent building sewer ~hall be provided for every building except that, when two (2) or more buildings are so situated that separate and independent building sewers for each building would be impractical or impose unnecessary hardship, the FISD may authorize a single building sewer connection to the public sewer subject to such terms and conditions as to easement, design, and construction as the Town Engineer may require. (c) No building shall be connected to a public sewer unless the plumbing system of said building has a soil vent pipe extended to a point above the roof. The FISD may require that no running trap, main house trap or other device which might prevent the free flow of air throughout the whole course of the building sewer, house drain and said soil vent pipe, will be allowed. 19 (d) (e) (f) (g) The building sewer shall be cast iron soil pipe, vitrified clay sewer pipe; polyvinyl chloride pipe or other suitable material approved by the FISD. All pipe materials shall conform with the latest standard specifications of the ASTM as approved by the FISD. Any part of the building sewer that is located within ten (10') feet of a water service pipe shall be constructed of cast iron soil pipe. Wherever possible, water service and house sewer pipes shall be laid in separate trenches. Where laid in the same trench, the water pipe shall be l~id on a bench at least twelve (12") inches above the top of the sewer pipe and at least twelve (12") inches, and preferably eighteen (18") inches from the side of the sewer trench. Cast iron pipe may be required where the building sewer is exposed to damage by tree rooss. If installed in filled or unstable ground, the building sewer shall be of cast iron soil pipe, except that nonmetallic material may be accepted if laid on a suitable concrete bed or cradle as approved by the FISD. No building sewer shall be located within twenty-five (25') feet of a cellar drain or ground water drain unless pipe is of cast iron. The size and slope of the building sewer shall be subject to the approval of the FISD, but in no event shall the diameter be less than slx (6") inches. The slope of such six (6") inch pipe shall be not less than one quarter (1/4") inch per foot. In all buildings where the building drain is too low to permit gravity flow to the public sewer, sewage or other wastewaters carried by such drain shall be lifted by approved artificial means and discharged to the building sewer through a cast iron force main. All building drains, whether force mains or gravity lines, shall be of ca.st iron soil pipe from the inner face of the building wall to the point of connection with t~e building or house sewer, and all joints, including that with the building sewer, shall be made gas-tight, and water-tight by a method approved by the Town Engineer. Ail excavations required for the installation of building sewer shall be open trench work unless otherwise approved by the Town Engineer. Whenever possible the building sewer shall be brought to the building a: an elevation below the basement floor. No building sewer shall be laid parallel to or within three (3') feet of any bearing wall which might thereby be weakened. The depth of the building sewer shall be sufficient to afford protection from frost and in general such depth shall not be less than three 20 (3') feet below the finished ground surface at all points. All building sewers shall be laid at uniform qrade and in straight alignment in so far as possible. Building sewers shall be laid in the following manner: Gravel bedding material will be required below all pipe and all utility structures. Gravel bedding shall be placed to the full width of the trench and to a depth of six (6") inches below the bottom of the pipe invert. Gravel bedding shall be placed twelve (12") inches beyound the widths of a utility structure foundation (base) and to a depth of six (6") inches from the bottom of the excavation to the bottom of the foundation (base). After a pipe is bedded the trench shall be filled to the centerline of the pipe with gravel bedding except at the joint. After the joint is inspected, that portion around the pipe shall be carefully and thoroughly tamped. From the centerline of the pipe to a point twelve (12") inches above the top of the pipe, the backfill shall be sand, placed by hand and hand tamped. Above this point, backfill shall be suitable material from excavation or, bank-run gravel. This backfill shall be placed in layers eight (8") inches deep and each layer shall be compacted with mechanical tampers to not less than ninety-five (95%) percent of maximum dry density. Building. sewers shall be located at a sufficient distance from other parallel pipes to permit alteratlons or repairs to any such pipes or the sewer pipe without disturbing the other; they shall be well cleaned inside after laying; and they shall conform to all reasonable requirements for good construction. The cpen ends of building sewers, building drains an~ building connection laterals shall be kept ~losed or protected during construction and during periods when work is suspended in order to exclude from the publfc sewer all water or debris which might obstruct, damage or otherwise be detrimental to the public sewer or sewage works. Abandoned building sewers or drains shall be likewise promptly closed and sealed off from any public sewer at the expense of the owner of the Property. (h) Ail joints and connections for or between building sewers, buildin~ drains, and building connection laterals shall be made gas-tight and water tight to wit: Cast iron, vitrified clay sewer pipe, polyvinyl chloride pipe or other suitable maEerial approved by the FISD shall be gasketed, and equipped with 21 e tyton or mechanical joints. The pipe and joints shall conform to all applicable ASA and ASTM specifications. No paint, varnish or other coatings shall be permitted on any joint until after the joint has been tested and approved. The District shall require the use of low pressure air testing of gravity sewers to insure the joints are gas tight and water tight. The sewer line under test shall be plugged at both ends. The air hose shall be connected to a tapped plug ~o be used for air inlet to the line. The hose will be connected to portable air control equipment which must include a shut off valve, pressure regulating valve, pressure reduction valve, and a monitorinq pressure gauge with range from zero (0) to five (5) psi. Air shall be introduced from the air source through the control equipment to the pipeline. Air shall be slowly supplied to the test section, until a constant pressure of 3.5 pslg is maintained. The air pressure shall be regulated to prevent the pressure inside the pipe from exceeding 5.0 psig. When constant pressure of 3.5 psig is reached, the air supply shall be throttled to maintain the internal pressure above 3.0 psig and shut off or disconnected from the air supply.- The gauge shall be observed until the air pressure reaches 3.0 psig. At 3.0 pslg, the pressure drop shall be timed with a stop watch until the pressure drops to 2.5-pslg. The time required for this 0.5 psig pressure drop shall be recorded and compared to the following tabulation. If the time for the 0.5 psig drop is iess than that shown, the section will be considered to have failed, and source of leakage must be located, repaired and the section retested. Time Requirements for Air Testing Pipe Size (inches) 8" or less 10" 12" Time Minutes Seconds 5 O6 6 22 7 39 9 35 22 Where ground water level is above the invert of the sewer line, the air test pressure must be increased 0.43 psi for each foot the ground water level is above the invert of the pipe, and the resulting pressure computed will be used for the starting pressure. The allowable drop (0.5 psig) and the time requirements will not change. Ail joints in vitrified clay pi~e, polyvinyi chloride pipe, or other approved pipe, or between such pipes shall be made with rubber, or similar, gaskets. Hot poured jointing materials or cement mornar shall not be approved. Pipe and joints shall conform to all applicable ASTM specifications. Any jointing materials, other than those described in 1, 2, and 3, may be used only upon appoval by the Town Engineer. The connection of the building sewer into the public sewer shall be made at the "Y" branch, if such branch is available at a suitable location. If the public sewer is twelve (12") inches in diameter or less, and no properly located "Y" branch is available, the owner(s) shall at his expense install a "Y" branch in the public sewer at the location specified by the Town Engineer. Where the public sewer is greater than twelve (12")- inches in diameter, and no properly located "Y" branch is available, a neat hole may be cut into the public sewer to receive the building sewer, with entry in the downstream direction at an angle 6f about forty-five (45) degrees. A forty-five (45) degree "ell" may be used to make such connection, with the spigot end cut so as not to extend past the inner surface of the public sewer. Where street sewers are of asbestos-cement sewer pipe, the connection mav be made with a cast iron saddle, in the event that no fitting is available on the street sewer. The invert of the building sewer at the point of connection to twelve (12") inch diameter sewers or larger shall be connected to either match the center lines of such snreet sewers or be higher. A smooth neat joint shall be made, and the connection made secure and water-tight by encasement in concrete. Special fittings may be used on the connection only when approved by the District. 23 (i) (j) (k) When the building sewer trench has been excavated, and the building sewer repaired, altered or constructed, and is ready for inspection and connection to the public sewer, the Town Engineer shall be notified during regular working hours not less than eight (8) hours in advance of the time when the connection to the public sewer is planned. The connection of the building sewer to the public sewer shall be made under the supervision of the FISD and a record of all said connections, shall be kept by the District. If ~ny person constructs, installs, alters, or repairs any building sewer or drain connecting with a public sewer in the District in violation of any section of these regulations or fails to give adequate notice to the Town Engineer for an inspection of the work, said Town Engineer may order all or any portion of said work to be uncovered for inspection and approval. Ail excavations for building sewer installations shall be adequately guarded with barricades and lights so as to protect the public from hazard. If any person, after proper order or direction from the District fails to remedy any violation of this Section or of any other section of these regulations, the Town Engineer may disconnect the building sewer of the property where the violation exists from the public sewer and may collect the cost of making such disconnection from any person or persons responsible for, or willfully concerned in, or who profited by such violation of the requirements of these regulations. Section 76-10 Powers and Authority of Inspectors (a) The Superintendent and any duly authorized employees of the District, the EPA, and/or the DEC bearing proper credentials and identification shall be permitted to enter all properties for the purpose of inspection, observation, measurement, sampling, and testing in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. The Superintendent or his representative shall have no authority to inquire into any processes including metallurgical, chemical, oil, refining, ceramic, paper, or other industries beyond that point t~at has a direct bearing on the kind and source of discharge to the sewers or waterways or facilities for waste treatment. (b) While performing the necessary work on private properties referred to in Section 76-10(a) above, the Superintendent or duly authorized employees of the 24 (c) Section 76-11 (a) (b) (c) District shall observe all safety rules applicable to the premises established by the owner(s) and the owner(s) shall be held harmless for injury or death to the District employees and against liability claims and demands for personal injury or property damage asserted against the owner(s) and growing out of the qauging and sampling operation, except as such may be caused by negligence or failure of the owner(s) to maintain safe conditions as required in Section 76-4(i). Ail duly authorized employees and/or representatives of the District bearing proper credentials and identification shall be permitted to enter all private propertIes through which the District holds a duly negotiated easement for the purposes of, but not limited to inspection, observation, measurement, sampling, repair, and maintenance of any portion of the sewage works lying within said easement. All entry and subsequent work, if any, on said easement, shall be done in full accordance with the terms of the duly negotiated easement pertaining to the private property involved. Penalties Any person found to be violating any provision'of this chapuer except Section 76-6 shall be served by the District with written notice 'stating the nature of the violation and providing a reasonable time limit for the satisfactory correction thereof. The offender shall, within the period of time stated in such notice, permanently cease all violations. Any person who shall violate any provision of this chapter shall be fined not more than one hundred ($100.00) dollars or imprisoned not more than thirty (30) days or both.. Each day that any violation of'' these regulations continues and each day that any person continues 'to discharge prohibited wastes or substances into any public sewer shall be deemed to be a separate offense for the purpose of applying the penalty provided in this section. Any person who fails to cease and desist violation of the ordinance upon notification thereof, may after the period of time stated in the notice for correction thereof be disconnected from the public sewer system. Notice of disconnection shall be served by the District ten (10) days prior to the actual disconnection. 25 Sectipn 76-12 Miscellaneous Provisions (a) The District may require as a condition to the connection and or continued use of the District's sewer facilities, that flow metering, pH monitorinq and suitable effluent sampling stations be provided at owner(s) expense by industry connected to the District sewer system as required by prudent engineering standards. Section 76-13 Validity If any section, clause, sentence or provision of this chapter shall be adjudged invalid or unenforceable, such adjudications shall not affect the validity of any other provision hereof, but all other provisions shall be deemed valid and effective and shall remain in full force and effect. 26 ;,5 (Complete the certification ia the paragraph which applies to the filing of this local law and strike out the matter therein Milch is uot applicable.)

Page 2 - Local Law Fishers Island Sower District - Regulations SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jay. Is there anyone here who would like to speak in favor of this proposed Local Law? (No response.) Anyone like to speak in opposil~ion to it? (No response.) Anyone would like to have any comments at all? (No response.) This was a program, a small area of Fishers Island where there was a sewer system in to upgrade it and to make it much safer, the federal government and state government participated and FIDCO, not the Town, is picking up the local share of this and then there will be a district formed. This then will become a charge to the district to maintain it. Ray? JUSTICE EDWARDS: One comment, Frank. Was that published in the New London Day, Judy? TOWN CLERK TERRY: No, it wasn't, Ray. JL~STICE EDWARDS: I think something like that should be. TOWN CLERK TERRY: Yes, you're right. I sent it to Michael Horn of Henry Souther Engineering, and Winthrop Rutherfurd of the Fishers Island Sewer District.
