described waters or wastes to any public sewers:
1.
Any gasoline, benzene, naphtha, fuel oil, or other flammable or explosive
liquid, solid or gas.
2.
Any waters or wastes containing toxic or poisonous solids, liquids
or gases in sufficient quantity, either singly or by interaction with
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 1.9 mg/l
as CN in the wastes as discharged to the public sewer.
3.
Any waters or wastes having a pH lower than 5.0, or having any other
corrosive property capable of causing damage or hazard to structures,

D.
No
person shall discharge or cause to be discharged the following described
substances, materials, waters or wastes if it appears likely in the
opinion of the Superintendent 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/her opinion as to
the acceptability of these wastes, the Superintendent 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:
1.
Any liquid or vapor having a temperature higher than one hundred
four degrees Fahrenheit (104°F) or forty degrees Celsius (40°C).
2.
Any water or waste containing fats, wax, grease or oils, whether
emulsified or not, in excess of one hundred (100) mg/l or containing

similar objectionable or toxic substances; or wastes exerting an excessive
chlorine requirement to such degree that any such material received
in the composite sewage at the sewage treatment works exceeds the
limits established by the Superintendent for such materials.
6.
Any waters or wastes containing phenols and other taste- or odor-producing
substances, in such concentrations exceeding limits which may be established
by the Superintendent 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 Superintendent in compliance
with applicable State or Federal regulations.
8.
Any waters or wastes having a pH in excess of 10.5.
9.
Materials which exert or cause:
a.
Unusual concentrations of inert suspended solids (such as, but not
limited to, fuller's 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 works.
d.
Unusual volume of flow or concentration of wastes constituting "sludge"
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 contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in Subsection (C) of this Section, and which in the judgment of the Superintendent 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 Superintendent may:
1.
Reject the wastes;
2.
Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge to
the public sewers;
3.
Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge; and/or
4.
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.
|
|
If the Superintendent 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 Superintendent
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 Superintendent 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 Superintendent
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/her expense.
H.
When
required by the Superintendent, 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 Superintendent. 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.
I.
All
measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of water 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 sewage works and to determine the existence of hazards to
life, limb and property. (The particular analyses involved will determine
whether a twenty-four (24) 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 analyses are obtained
from twenty-four (24) hour composites of all outfalls whereas pHs
are determined from periodic grab samples.)
J.
No
statement contained in this Article shall be construed as preventing
any special agreement or arrangement between the City and any industrial
concerning whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength or character
may be accepted by the City for treatment, subject to payment therefore
by the industrial concern.

or waterways or facilities for waste treatment.
B.
While performing the necessary work on private properties referred to in Subsection (A) above, the Superintendent or duly authorized employees of the City shall observe all safety rules applicable to the premises established by the company and the company shall be held harmless for injury or death to the City employees and the City shall indemnify the company against loss or damage to its property by City employees and against liability claims and demands for personal injury or property damage asserted against the company and growing out of the gauging and sampling operation, except as such may be caused by negligence or failure of the company to maintain safe conditions as required in Section 510.050(H).
C.
The
Superintendent and other duly authorized employees of the City bearing
proper credentials and identification shall be permitted to enter
