PUBLIC AND COMMERCIAL SEWAGE
|
| Public sewage systems are those
serving a dwelling designed to house three or more families or more
than ten people or serving more than one dwelling or generating a
wastewater flow of one thousand gallons per day or more, whether the
ownership is private, corporate, municipal or other. Public sewage
systems are generally any sewage system larger than a private home
system and include on-site wastewater treatment systems at commercial
facilities and public sanitary sewer extensions. The Chautauqua County
Health Department administers Article X of the Sanitary Code of the
Chautauqua County Health District, 10 NYCRR Part 750 and Article 17
of the NYS Environmental Conservation Law.
Plans for public sewage systems must be prepared by licensed professional engineers and approved by the Chautauqua County Health Department prior to any construction. A list of engineers may be obtained from the Health Department. All plans and sewage systems must conform to standards set forth by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dow/bwpreference.html). State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permits for discharges, where required, must be obtained before plan approval is granted. For information and requirements contact the Director of Environmental Health at 716-753-4481. |
