No discharger shall contribute or cause to be discharged, directly or indirectly, any of
the described substances into the wastewater disposal system or otherwise to the facilities of the Authority.
(a) Storm water, surface water, ground water, roof run-off, subsurface drainage, cooling water or unpolluted industrial process waters.
(b) Any water or waste, grease or oil, or other ether soluble matter exceeding an analysis of 75 mg/1.
(c) Any gasoline, benzine, naphtha, fuel oil or other flammable or explosive liquid, solid or gas.
(d) Any water or wastes that contain more than ten p.p.m. by weight of the following gases: hydrogen sulphide, sulphur dioxide or nitrous oxide.
(e) Any garbage that has not been properly shredded.
(f) Any ashes, cinders, sand, mud, straw, shavings, metal, glass, rags, feathers, tar, plastics, wood, asphaltic materials, paunch manure, hair and f1eshings, entrails, lime slurry, time residues, beer or distillery spent grains, chemical residues, paint residues, cannery waste bulk solids or any other solid or viscous substances, capable of causing obstruction to the flow in sewers or other interference with the proper operation of the sewage works.
(g) Any water or wastes that contain phenols in excess of 0.50 p.p.m. by weight. These limits may be modified if the aggregate of contributions throughout the area of service create treatment difficulties, or produce a plant effluent discharge to receiving waters, which may be prohibitive.
(h) Any water or wastes containing a toxic or poisonous substance of high chlorine demand in sufficient quantity to injure or interfere with any sewage treatment process. constitute a hazard to humans or animals, or create any hazard to the receiving waters or storm water overflows of the effluent of the waste water treatment plant. Material such as copper, zinc, chromium, cyanide or other similar toxic substances.
(i) Any water or wastes containing the discharge of strong acid iron pickling wastes, or concentrated plating solution whether neutralized or not.
(j) Any noxious or malodorous gas or substance, which either singly or by interaction with other wastes, is capable of creating a public nuisance or hazard to life or of preventing entry into sewers for their maintenance and repair.
(k) Any water or waste which by interaction with other water or wastes in the public sewer system, releases obnoxious gases, or develops color of undesirable intensity, or forms suspended solids in objectionable concentration, or creates any other conditions deleterious to the sewers or the sewage treatment process.
(l) Any liquids, solids or gases which by reason of their nature or quantity are capable, or may be sufficient, either alone or by interaction, of causing fire or explosion or be injurious in any other way to the operation of the POTW including, but not limited to waste streams with a closed cup flashpoint of less than 140 degrees Fahrenheit or 60 degrees Centigrade using the test method specified in 40 CFR 261.21.
(m) Solid or viscous substances which will or may cause obstruction to the flow in a sewer or other interference with the operation of the wastewater system.
(n) Any wastewater having a pH less than 5.0 or higher than 10 or having any other corrosive property capable of causing damage or hazard to structures, equipment, or personnel of the system.
(o) Any wastewater containing toxic pollutants in sufficient quantity, either singly or by interaction, to injure or interfere with any wastewater treatment process, constitute a hazard to humans or animals, or to exceed the limitations set forth in categorical pretreatment standards as promulgated by U.S. EPA pursuant to the Act. A toxic pollutant shall include but not be limited to any pollutant identified in the toxic pollutant list set forth in 40 CFR 401.15.
(p) Any substance, which may cause the POTW's effluent or treatment residues, sludges, or scums, to be unsuitable for reclamation and reuse or to interfere with the reclamation process. (In no case, shall a substance discharged to the POTW cause the POTW to be in noncompliance with sludge use or disposal criteria, guidelines or regulations developed under Section 405 of the Act; any criteria, guidelines or regulations affecting sludge use or disposal developed pursuant to the Solid Waste Disposal Act, the Clean Air Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, or State standards applicable to the sludge management method being used.)
(q) Any substance which will cause the POTW to violate its NPDES and/or other disposal system permits.
(r) Any substance with objectionable color that cannot be removed in the treatment process, such as, but not limited to, dye wastes and vegetable tanning solutions.
(s) Any wastewater having a temperature which will inhibit biological activity in the POTW treatment plant resulting in interference; but in no case, wastewater with a temperature at the introduction into the POTW which exceeds 40°C (104°F).
(t) Any slug load, which shall mean any pollutant, including oxygen demanding pollutants (BOD, etc.) released in a single extraordinary discharge episode of such volume or strength as to cause interference to the POTW.
(u) Any unpolluted water including, but not limited to, storm water, surface runoff, and groundwater.
(v) Any wastewater containing any radioactive wastes or isotopes of such half-life or concentration as exceed limits established by the Authority in compliance with applicable State or Federal regulations.
(w) Any wastewater which causes a hazard to human life or creates a public nuisance.
(x) Discharges of petroleum oil, non-biodegradable cutting oil or products of mineral oil origin if discharged in amounts that can cause pass through or interference.
