A.
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 Superintendent 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

to the acceptability of these wastes, the Superintendent will give
consideration to such factors as the quantities of subject wastes
in relation to flows and velocities in the sewers, materials of construction
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:

in such concentrations exceeding limits which may be established by
the Superintendent as necessary, after treatment of the composite
sewage, to meet the requirements of State, Federal, or other public
agencies of jurisdiction for such discharge to the receiving waters.
6.
Any waters or wastes containing iron, chromium, 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 Superintendent for such materials.
7.
Any radioactive wastes or isotopes of such half-life or concentration
as may exceed limits established by the Superintendent in compliance
with applicable State or Federal regulations.
8.
Any waters or wastes having a pH in excess of 9.5.
9.
Materials which exert or cause:
a.
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 or 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 flow 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 sewage treatment
plant effluent cannot meet the requirements of other agencies having
jurisdiction over discharge to the receiving waters.
[R.O. 2011 §705.140; Ord. No. 478 Art. V §5, 2-5-1979]
A.
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 Section 705.130 and which in the judgment of the Superintendent may have a deleterious effect upon the sewage works, processes, equipment, or receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to life to constitute a public nuisance, the Superintendent may:
B.
If
the Superintendent permits 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 Superintendent, and subject
to the requirements of the applicable codes, ordinances and laws.
[R.O. 2011 §705.150; Ord. No. 478 Art. V §6, 2-5-1979]
Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in
the opinion of the Superintendent, 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 Superintendent and shall be located as to be readily
and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
[R.O. 2011 §705.160; Ord. No. 478 Art. V §7, 2-5-1979]

When required by the Superintendent, 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 Superintendent. 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.
[R.O. 2011 §705.180; Ord. No. 478 Art. V §9, 2-5-1979]
All measurements, tests, and analyses of the characteristics
of waters and wastes to which reference is made in this Article 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 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
solid analyses are obtained from twenty-four (24) hour composites
of all outfalls whereas pH's are determined from periodic grab samples.)
[R.O. 2011 §705.190; Ord. No. 478 Art. V §10, 2-5-1979]
No statement contained in this Article shall be construed as
preventing any special agreement or arrangement between the City and

or character may be accepted by the City for treatment, subject to
payment thereof, by the industrial concern.

C.
The
Superintendent and other duly authorized employees of the City bearing
proper credentials and identification shall be permitted to enter
all private properties through which the City holds a duly negotiated
