(A) No user shall ever increase the use of process water or, in any way, attempt to dilute a discharge as a partial or complete substitute for adequate treatment to achieve compliance with the limitations contained in the national pretreatment standards, or in any other pollutant-specific limitation developed by the District or state. An increase in the use of process water which is reasonably proportional to increased production and which is required for said increase in production will not be considered an excessive discharge hereunder.
(B) No user shall dilute and/or cause excessive POTW hydraulic loading problems, including, but not limited to:
(1) Any water added for the purpose of diluting wastes which would otherwise exceed maximum concentration limits; and
(2) Any rainwater, storm water runoff, groundwater, street drainage, roof drainage, yard drainage, water from yard fountains, ponds, swimming pools, lawn sprays or uncontaminated water except where prior approval for such discharge is given by the General Manager.
