§ 1054.05 DETERMINATION OF ACCEPTABILITY OF DISCHARGES.
   (A)   No user shall be permitted to connect to or to discharge any wastewater, except sanitary sewage to the POTW unless it has been determined by the Superintendent of Utilities that there is sufficient capacity in the system to collect, convey and treat the wastewater discharge of such user.
   (B)   Determination of acceptability of all questionable discharges shall be made on a basis of sound engineering and operational evaluations, taking into consideration the nature and concentration of the discharge, point of entry into the sewerage system, compatibility with other discharges in the system and compatibility with the treatment processes. All discharges the Superintendent deems acceptable cannot exceed the applicable limits or standards set forth under federal or state laws (including categorical pretreatment standards) or under this chapter.

   Upon determination that an existing or proposed wastewater discharge is unacceptable, the Superintendent of Utilities may:
   (A)   Refuse wastewater treatment service to the user discharging or proposing to discharge unacceptable waste. Further, the Superintendent may order the removal of such discharges from the sewerage system, including the physical removal of connection to the system, after 30 days of notification to the user that such discharge is unacceptable; or
   (B)   Require provision of pretreatment of the wastewater by equipment and/or procedures to assure that wastewater discharges to the sewerage system will, at all times, be acceptable.
