The following described substances, materials, waters or wastes shall be limited in discharges to the POTW to concentrations or quantities which will not harm the POTW process or equipment, will not have an adverse effect on the receiving stream or will not otherwise endanger lives, limb or public property of constitute a nuisance. The Superintendent may set limitations more stringent than the limitations established herein if, in his opinion, such more stringent limitations are necessary to meet the above mentioned objectives. Deliberate dilution with unpolluted water to meet the concentration established in this chapter shall not be acceptable. In forming his or her opinion as to the acceptability, the Superintendent will give consideration to such facts as the quantity of subject waste in relation to flow and velocities in the sewers, materials of construction of the sewers, the wastewater treatment process employed, capacity of the wastewater treatment plant, degree of treatability of the waste in the wastewater treatment plant and other pertinent factors. The limitations or restrictions on materials or characteristics of waste or wastewater discharged to the POTW which shall not be violated without approval of the Superintendent are as follows:
(A) Wastewater having a temperature higher than 150 degrees F (65.5 degrees C); or heat in amounts which will inhibit biological activity in the POTW resulting in interference, but in no case heat in such quantities that the temperature entering the POTW exceeds 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).
(B) Wastewater containing more than 100 milligrams per liter of petroleum oils, non- biodegradable cutting oils, products of mineral oil origin or floatable oils, fat, wax or grease, whether emulsified or not.
(C) Any garbage that has not been properly shredded. Garbage grinders may be connected to sanitary sewers from homes, hotels, institutions, restaurants, hospitals, catering establishments or similar places where garbage originates from the preparation of food in kitchens for the purpose of consumption on the premises or when served by caterers.
(D) Except as may be permitted by the provisions of § 52.45, no person shall discharge or cause to be discharged the following described waters or wastes to any public sewer: BOD in excess of 200 milligrams per liter (mg/l).
(E) Pollutant limits are established to protect against pass through and interference. Local limits may be found in the industrial user permits. These maximum concentrations may be changed as necessary by the village or state regulatory agencies, based on new information concerning inhibitory substances or to protect treatment plant processes. Industrial dischargers covered by federal pretreatment requirements shall meet those limitations required in the "Municipal Pretreatment Ordinance" for the village.
(F) The Superintendent may develop best management practices, by ordinance or in individual wastewater discharge permits, to implement local limits and the requirements of § 52.42.
(G) Any waters or wastes containing odor- producing substances exceeding limits which may be established by the Superintendent or any local or State regulatory agencies.
(H) Any radioactive wastes or isotopes of such half-life or concentration as may exceed limits established by applicable state and/or federal regulations.
(I) Quantities of flow, concentrations or both which constitute a slug load as defined in § 52.01.
(J) Waters or wastes containing substances which are not amendable to treatment or reduction by the wastewater treatment processes employed, or are amendable only to such degree that the wastewater treatment plant effluent cannot meet the requirements of other agencies having jurisdiction over discharge to the receiving waters.
(K) Any waters or wastes which, by interaction with other waters or wastes in the public sewer system, release obnoxious gases or form suspended solids which interfere with the collection system or create a condition deleterious to the POTW.
(L) Any waters or wastes containing color, such as, but not limited to, from dyes, inks or vegetable tanning solutions, shall be controlled to prevent light absorbance which would interfere with wastewater treatment plant processes or prevent analytical determinations.
(M) Inert suspended solids, such as, but not limited to, fullers earth, lime slurries and lime residues, and dissolved solids such as, but not limited to sodium chloride and sodium sulfate, in unusual concentrations shall not be allowed.
