Any solid or viscous material which could cause an obstruction to flow in the sewers or in any way could interfere with the treatment process, including examples of such materials, but not limited to, ashes, wax, paraffin, cinders, sand, mud, straw, shavings, metal, glass, rags, lint, feathers, tars, plastics, wood and sawdust, paunch manure, hair and fleshings, entrails, lime slurries, beer and distillery slops, grain-processing wastes, grinding compounds, acetylene-generation sludge, chemical residues, acid residues, food-processing bulk solids, snow, ice and all other solid objects, material, refuse and debris not normally contained in sewage.
H. 
Substances, materials, waters or waste shall be limited in discharge to the public system to concentrations of quantities which will not harm either the sewers, wastewater treatment process or equipment will not have an adverse effect on the receiving stream, private property or constitute a nuisance. The Sewer District may set limitations more stringent than the limitations established in the regulations if in its judgment, such more severe limitations are necessary to meet above objectives.
I. 
The limitations or restrictions on materials or characteristics of wastes or wastewaters discharged to the sanitary sewer which shall not be violated without the approval of the Sewer District are as follows:

Wastewater containing more than 25 milligrams per liter of petroleum oil, nonbiodegradable cutting oils or products of mineral oil origin.
(3) 
Wastewater from industrial plants containing floatable oils, fats or grease.
(4) 
Any garbage that has not been shredded.
(5) 
Any waters or wastes containing iron, chromium, copper, zinc and similar objectionable or toxic substances to such degree that any such material received in the composite wastewater at the wastewater works exceeds the limits established.
(6) 
Any waters or wastes containing odor-producing substances exceeding limits deemed acceptable by the Sewer District.
J.
