other wastes, to injure or interfere with any sewage treatment process,
constitute a hazard to humans or animals, create a public nuisance,
or create any hazard in the receiving waters of the sewage treatment
plant, including but not limited to cyanides in excess of two (2)
mg/l as CN in the wastes as discharged to the public sewer.
3.
Any waters or wastes having a pH lower than 5.5, or having any

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:

Any radioactive wastes or isotopes of such half-life or concentration
as may exceed limits not 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 the sewage treatment
plant effluent cannot meet the requirements of other agencies having
jurisdiction over discharge to 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) of this Section, and which in the judgment of the Director of Public Works, 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 Director of Public Works may:
[Ord. No. 2014-2878 § 1, 10-28-2014]
1.
Reject the wastes;
2.
Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge
to the public sewers; and/or
3.
Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge.
|
If the Director of Public Works 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 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 of Public Works, 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 of Public Works, and shall be located as
to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
[Ord. No. 2014-2878 § 1, 10-28-2014]
G.

satisfactory and effective operation by the owner at his/her expense.
H.
When required by the Director of Public Works, 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 of Public Works. 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.
[Ord. No. 2014-2878 § 1, 10-28-2014]
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 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-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-hour composites of all
outfalls whereas pH's are determined from periodic grab samples).
J.
No statement contained in this Section shall be construed as preventing
any special agreement or arrangement between the City and any industrial
concern whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength character
may be accepted by the City for treatment, subject to payment therefore,
by the industrial concern.
