C.
No
person(s) shall discharge or cause to be discharged any of the following
described waters or wastes to any public sewers:
1.
Any liquids, solids, or gases which by reason of their nature or
quantity are, or may be, sufficient either alone or by interaction
with other substances to cause fire or explosion or be injurious in
any other way to the sewage works or to the operation of the sewage
works. At no time shall two (2) successive readings on an explosion
hazard meter, at the point of discharge into the system (or at any
point in the system), be more than five percent (5%) nor any single

to, ashes, cinders, sand, mud, straw, shavings, metal, glass, rags,
feathers, tar, plastics, wood, unground garbage, whole blood, paunch
manure, hair and fleshings, entrails and paper dishes, cups, milk
containers, etc., either whole or ground by garbage grinders.
D.
No
person shall discharge or cause to be discharged the following described
substances, materials, waters or wastes if it appears likely in the
opinion of the Director that such wastes can harm either the sewers,
sewage treatment process or equipment, have an adverse effect on the
receiving stream, or can otherwise endanger life, limb, public property
or constitute a nuisance. In forming his/her opinion as to the acceptability
of these wastes, the Director will give consideration to such factors
as the quantities of subject wastes in relation to flows and velocities
in the sewers, construction material of the sewers, nature of the
sewage treatment process, capacity of the sewage treatment plant,
degree of treatability of wastes in the sewage treatment plant, and
other pertinent factors. The substances prohibited are:
1.
Any liquid or vapor having a temperature higher than one hundred
fifty degrees Fahrenheit (150°F), sixty-five degrees Centigrade
(65°C) at the point before entering the public sewer, or any sewage
having a temperature which will result in a waste with a temperature
at the introduction into the sewage works which exceed one hundred
four degrees Fahrenheit (104°F) (40°C), or which would cause
interference at the sewage treatment plant.
2.
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 viscous at temperatures between
thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit (32°F) and one hundred fifty degrees
Fahrenheit (150°F), zero to sixty-five degrees Centigrade (0 and
65°C).
3.

and operation of any garbage grinder equipped with a motor of three-fourth
(¾) horsepower (0.76 hp metric) or greater shall be subject
to review and approval of the Director.
4.
Any waters or wastes containing strong acid iron pickling wastes
or concentrated plating solutions whether neutralized or not.
5.
Any waters or wastes containing iron, cluomium, copper, zinc, and
similar objectionable or toxic substances; or wastes exerting an excessive
chlorine requirement to such degree that any such material received
in the composite sewage at the sewage treatment works exceeds the
limits established by the Director for such materials.
6.
Any waters or wastes containing phenols or other taste- or odor-producing
substances in such concentrations exceeding limits which may be established
by the Director as necessary, after treatment of the composite sewage,
to meet the requirements of the State, Federal or other public agencies
of jurisdiction for such discharge to the receiving waters.
7.
Any radioactive wastes or isotopes of such half-life or concentration
as may exceed limits established by the Director in compliance with
applicable State or Federal regulations.
8.
Any waters or wastes having a pH in excess of nine point five (9.5)
or less than four point zero (4.0) or having any other corrosive property
capable of causing damage or hazard to structures, equipment and personnel
of the sewage works.
9.
Materials which exert or cause:
a.
Unusual concentrations of inert suspended solids (such as, but not
limited to, Fuller's earth, lime slurries and lime residues) or dissolved
solids (such as, but not limited to, sodium chloride and sodium sulfate).
b.
Excessive discoloration (such as, but not limited to, dye wastes
and vegetable tanning solutions).
c.
Unusual BOD, chemical oxygen demand, or chlorine requirements in
such quantities as to constitute a significant load on the sewage
treatment works.
d.
Unusual volume of low or concentration of wastes constituting "slugs"
as defined herein.
10.
Waters or wastes containing substances which are not amenable to
treatment or reduction by the sewage treatment processes employed
or are amenable to treatment only to such degree that the sewage treatment
plant effluent cannot meet the requirements of other agencies having
jurisdiction over the receiving waters.
E.
If any waters or wastes are discharged or are proposed to be discharged to the public sewers, which waters contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in Subsection (D) above, and which in the judgment of the Director may have a deleterious effect upon the sewage works, processes, equipment or receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the Director may:
1.
Reject the wastes; or
2.
Require pre-treatment, at the owner's expense, to reduce objectionable
characteristics or constituents to an acceptable condition for discharge
to the public sewers; and/or
3.
Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge by developing
discharge limitations.
|
|
If the Director permits the pre-treatment or equalization of
waste flows, the design and installation of the plants and equipment
shall be subject to the review and approval of the Director and subject
to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances and laws.
|
F.
Grease,
oil and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of
the Director, they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid
wastes containing 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 of a type and capacity approved by the Director
and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning
and inspection. All grease traps and interceptors shall be cleaned
out periodically as required to ensure that grease is maintained within
the trap or interceptor and not entering the public sewer. The scheduling
and costs of the cleaning is the responsibility of the owner. Documentation
of the cleaning and removal of grease from the grease trap shall be
provided to the inspector as requested. This includes under-sink grease
traps. Facilities required to have a grease trap shall maintain records
of the cleaning and maintenance of all grease traps on a manifest
kept at the facility. Failure to provide the manifest and cleaning/maintenance
records when requested by the inspector may result in a citation.
If a problem occurs in the public sewer due to grease, the facilities
connected to that portion of the public sewer will be subject to inspection
including a review of the cleaning/maintenance records. Any facility
that has not cleaned the grease trap properly, or the grease trap
is not functioning properly, may be held liable for any damage or
costs created by the grease in the public sewer and/or may receive
a citation. Any existing facility that does not currently have a grease
trap or has an inadequate grease trap that has reoccurring problems
with discharges of grease into the public sewer shall be required
to install an adequate grease trap. The inspector shall be allowed
access to the grease trap for the purpose of inspection during normal
business hours. Sizing and installation of grease traps shall comply
with the latest edition of the Design Standards as well as current
International Building and Plumbing Code requirements.
G.
Where
preliminary treatment or flow-equalizing facilities are provided for
any waters or wastes, they shall be continuously maintained in satisfactory
and effective operation by the owner(s) at his/her expense.
H.
When
required by the Director, the owner of any property serviced by a
building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install a suitable
control manhole together with such necessary meters and other appurtenances
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 Director. The manhole shall be installed by the owner at his/her
expense and shall be maintained by him/her so as to be safe and accessible
at all times.
I.
All
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 "Standard Methods for the
Examination of Water and Wastewater" published by the American Public
Health Association and shall be determined at the control manhole
provided 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. Sampling
shall be called 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
solids analyses are obtained from twenty-four (24) hours composites
of all outfalls whereas pHs are determined from periodic grab samples.
An industry shall provide regular sampling of sewer discharge if deemed
appropriate by the City due to a violation or suspicion of illegal
discharge. The required frequency of the sampling will be determined
on the magnitude of the issue. The owner shall be responsible for
the scheduling and costs of the sampling.
J.
No statement contained in Subsections (A) through (I) shall be construed as preventing any special agreement or arrangement between the City and any industrial concern whereby any industrial waste of unusual strength or character may be accepted by the City for treatment, subject to payment therefore by the industrial concern.

and testing the improvements shall be dedicated, free and clear of
all encumbrances, to the City.
4.
The design of all main extensions or improvements shall conform to
the latest edition of the Design Standards, Standard Drawing Details
and the Construction Specifications, the Missouri Code of State Regulations
and must be approved by the City. A permit to construct, issued by
MODNR, will be received prior to construction, alteration or extension
of the sanitary sewer.
5.
Sewer lift stations will be discouraged in system extensions and
will be allowed only when the construction of the proposed sewer lift
station eliminates the requirement for one (1) existing lift station.
Final approval shall be determined by the Director. Individual private
grinder pumps with private force mains may be permitted for some applications.
Final approval of a private system shall be determined by the Director.
The installation costs and maintenance of the private pumps, mains
and entire system shall be the responsibility of the owner.
6.
No extension shall be constructed that conflicts with an approved
systemwide or local master plan. When such master plan requires a
size of pipe or facility that exceeds the hydraulic loading of the
area to be served by the main extension, the applicant may request
reimbursement for the documented difference in cost incurred by conforming
to the master plan. The applicant may receive reimbursement from future
development for oversized infrastructure as development occurs. Future
developments would be required to pay a capacity charge for connection
to existing facilities that have been oversized. The charge would
be collected by the City and reimbursed to the original developer
that installed the oversized improvements. The amount charged would
be based on the amount of capacity the future development would require.
The Board shall review and approve all such requests. The City has
the right to refuse reimbursement to the applicant at the discretion
of the Board.
