§ 53.055 DISCHARGE VIOLATIONS.

   (A)   If any wastes are discharged or are proposed to be discharged to the public sewers, which waters contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in § 53.054 and which, in the judgment of the Superintendent, may have a deleterious effect upon the wastewater facilities, 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 added cost of handling and treating the wastes not covered by existing sewer charges under the provisions of §§ 53.120 through 53.138.

   (B)   When considering the above alternatives, the Superintendent shall give consideration to the economic impact of each alternative on the discharger. 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.
