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 sewerage
treatment plant, degree of treatability of wastes in the sewerage
treatment plant, and other pertinent factors. The substances prohibited

that any such material received in the composite sewerage at the sewerage
treatment works exceeds the limits established by the Director of
Utilities for such materials.
6.
Any water or wastes containing phenols
or other taste or odor-producing substances, in such concentrations
exceeding limits which may be established by the Director of Utilities
as necessary, after treatment of composite sewage, to meet the requirements
of 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 Director of Utilities in compliance with applicable State or
Federal regulations.

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.
B.
The Director of Utilities will evaluate
such toxic or objectionable substance waste on a concentration dilution
basis and will establish maximum allowable discharge concentrations
for each individual person to protect against the following:
1.
Decreased sewerage plant treatment
process efficiencies and degraded effluent qualities exceeding the
current requirements of the regulatory agencies.
2.
Concentration of any toxic or objectionable
substances in plant effluent flows which will result in concentration
of such substances in the receiving water which will exceed the regulatory
agencies maximum allowable limits for these substances in the receiving
waters.
3.
Water or wastes containing substances
which are not amenable to treatment or reduction by the sewerage treatment
processes employed, or are amenable to treatment only to such degree
that the sewerage treatment plant effluent cannot meet the requirements
of other agencies having jurisdiction over discharge to the receiving
waters.
4.
Any waters or wastes having:
a.
A five (5) day BOD greater than three
hundred fifty (350) parts per million by weight; or
b.
Containing more than four hundred
thirteen (413) parts per million by weight of suspended solids; or
c.
Having an average daily flow greater
than two percent (2%) of the average sewage flow of the City, shall
be subject to the review of the Director of Utilities.
C.
Where necessary in the opinion of the Director
of Utilities, the owner shall provide at his/her expense, such preliminary
treatment as may be necessary to:
1.

hundred thirteen (413) parts per million by weight; or
3.
Control the quantities and rates
of discharge of such waters or wastes.
4.
Plans, specifications, and other
pertinent information relating to proposed preliminary treatment facilities
will be submitted for the approval of the Director of Utilities and
no construction of such facilities shall be commenced until said approvals
are obtained in writing.
5.
If any water or wastes are discharged, or are proposed to be discharged to the public sewers, which water contains the substances or possesses the characteristics enumerated in Subsection (A) of this Section, and which in the judgment of the Director of Utilities, may have a deleterious effect upon the sewerage works, process, equipment or receiving waters, or which otherwise creates a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the Director of Utilities may:
a.
Reject the wastes, and require the
violator to cease and desist discharging of said material into the
sewer system immediately.
b.
Require pretreatment to an acceptable
condition for discharge to the public sewers, as outlined above.
c.
Require control over the quantities
and rates of discharge.
d.
Require the payment to cover the added cost of handling and treating the wastes not covered by existing taxes or sewer charges under the provisions of Section 705.120(D).
D.
If the Director of Utilities 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 Director of Utilities, and subject to the requirements of all
applicable Codes, ordinances and laws.
E.
All measurements, tests and analysis of
the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made
in this Chapter shall be determined in accordance with the latest
edition of "Standard Methods for 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 sewerage 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 premises is appropriate or whether a grab sample or samples should
be taken. Normally, but not always, BOD and suspended solids analysis
are obtained from twenty-four-hour composites of all outfalls whereas
pH's are determined from periodic grab samples.]
F.
Any person discharging wastes having concentrations
greater than the "normal" concentrations as set forth herein shall
upon notification by the Director install a composite sampler with
a compatible pacing (metering) device for monitoring said substances.
The pacing and sampling devices shall be of a type approved by the
Director of Utilities.
