(A) If the Superintendent or designee in his or her absence, shall determine that any waters or wastes discharged, or proposed to be discharged to the public sewers, contain the prohibited substances or exceed the characteristics enumerated in this subchapter or that they have a deleterious effect on the sewage works, processes, equipment or receiving waters, or otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the Superintendent may give notice of his or her finding in writing to the affected dischargers and may suggest one or more of the following alternative remedies.
(1) Rejection of wastes;
(2) Pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge to the public sewers;
(3) Control of the quantities and rates of discharge; and
(4) Payment to cover the added cost of handling and treating the wastes not covered by existing taxes or sewer charges under the provisions contained herein.
(B) The Superintendent and the discharger shall meet to review the findings and recommendations of the Superintendent. If the parties cannot reach agreement on the findings or cannot agree on the remedies to be effected, the discharger may petition the Sanitary District Board for review of the findings and recommended remedies of the Superintendent. The Sanitary Board shall make specific findings and order 1 or more of the remedies heretofore set forth. The reaction of the Sanitary Board shall be appealable to the circuit court of the county.
(C) The design and installation of the plants and equipment for pretreatment or equalization of waste flows shall be subject to the review and approval of the Superintendent and subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances and laws.
