Technical review criteria (TRC) violations, defined here as those in which 33 percent or more of all the measurements taken for the same pollutant parameter during a six-month period equal or exceed the product of the numeric pretreatment standard or requirement, including instantaneous limits multiplied by the applicable TRC, which is 1.4 for BOD, TSS, fats, oils, and grease, and 1.2 for all other pollutants except pH;
(3)
Any other violation(s) of a pretreatment standard or requirement, including daily maximum, long-term average, instantaneous limit or narrative standard that the control authority determines to have caused, alone or in combination with other discharges, pass through or interference, including endangering the health of the general public or the health of city or control authority personnel;

Any discharge of a pollutant that has caused imminent endangerment to human health, welfare, or to the environment or has resulted in the control authority exercising its emergency authority to halt or prevent such discharge;

Failure to meet a compliance schedule milestone contained in an industrial wastewater discharge permit or compliance order for starting construction, completing construction, or attaining final compliance within 90 days after the milestone schedule date;
(6)
