      (1)   After notice to the discharger, immediately and effectively halt or prevent the discharge of such wastes; or
      (2)   Require pretreatment of quantities and rates of discharge to an acceptable condition for discharge to the public sewer.

      (1)   Any liquids, solids or gases which by reason of their nature or quantity are, or may be, sufficient either alone or by interaction to cause fire or explosion or be injurious in any other way to persons or the operations of the sewage disposal system.
      (2)   Solid or viscous substances which will or may cause obstruction to the flow in a sewer or other interferences with the operation of the system.
