§ 52.035. INDUSTRIAL WASTES.

(A) The owner of any property served by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes may be required by the local unit to install a suitable control manhole in the building sewer to facilitate observation, sampling and measurement of the wastes. Such manhole when required shall be accessibly and safely located and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the local unit. The manhole shall be installed by the owner at his or her expense and shall be maintained by him or her so as to be safe and accessible at all times.

(B) All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference are made in §§ 52.031 and 52.033 shall be determined in accordance with Standard Methods for Examination of Water and Wastewater and Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutant, federal regulations 40 C.F.R. Pt. 136, current edition, and shall be determined at the control manhole provided for in division (A) above 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.

(C) No statement contained in this section shall be construed as preventing any special agreement or arrangement between the local unit and any industrial concern whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength or character may be accepted by the local unit subject to payment therefor by the industrial concern.
