Pass-through the POTW to the state's waters and cause
contravention of standards for those waters or cause violation of
the POTW's SPDES permit.

Increase the cost or otherwise hamper the disposal
of POTW sludge and/or residuals.

Endanger municipal employees.
(5)Â
Cause air pollution or groundwater pollution, directly

and, as much as possible, eliminate existing sources of infiltration
and inflow.
C.Â

constructed.
