in the opinion of the Inspector 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 or her opinion as
to the acceptability of these wastes, the Inspector 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:

received in the composite sewage at the sewage treatment works exceeds
the limits established by the Inspector 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 Inspector 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 Inspector in compliance with
applicable State or Federal regulations.
8.
Any waters or wastes having pH in excess of nine and five tenths
(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
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 work.
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. Action By Inspector Concerning Prohibited Wastes.
1.
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 Inspector, 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 Inspector may:
b.
Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge
to the public sewers;
c.
Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge;
and/or
d.
Require payment to cover the added cost of handling and treating the wastes not covered by existing taxes or sewer charges under the provisions of Subsection
(J) of this Section.
2.
If the Inspector 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 Inspector 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 Inspector, 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 Inspector
and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning
and inspection.
G. Where preliminary treatment or flow-equalizing facilities are provided
for any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained continuously in
satisfactory and effective operation by the owner at his or her expense.
H. When required by the Inspector, 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 accessible and
safely located and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved
by the Inspector. The manhole shall be installed by the owner at his or her
expense and shall be maintained by him or her so as to be safe and accessible
at all times.
I. All measurements, tests and analysis 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
analysis 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 values 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 or character
may be accepted by the City for treatment, subject to payment therefor,
by the industrial concern.
[Ord. No. 270, 11-6-2017]
