(A) No person shall contribute, permit to be contributed or cause to be contributed, directly or indirectly, any polluted waters, pollutant, or wastewater which will interfere with the performance of or pass through the operation of the publicly owned treatment works (hereinafter POTW). These general prohibitions apply to any person, including all users of a POTW, whether or not the user is subject to National Categorical Pretreatment Standards or any other national, state or local pretreatment standards or requirements.
(B) No person shall contribute the following substances to the POTW:
(l) Any liquids, solids or gases which by reason of their nature or quantity are or may be sufficient, either alone or by interaction with other substances, to cause fire or explosion or be injurious in any other way to the POTW or to the operation of the POTW. At no time shall the wastewater exhibit a closed cup flashpoint of less than 140° Fahrenheit or 60° Centigrade using the test methods specified in 4O C.F.R. 261.21;
(2) Any waters or wastes having a pH lower than 5.0 or higher than 10.5 or having any other corrosive property capable of causing damage or hazard to structures, equipment and personnel of the POTW;
(3) Any slug load of pollutants, including oxygen-demanding pollutants (biochemical oxygen demand and the like), released at a flow rate and/or concentration that will cause interference with the normal operation of the POTW;
(4) Solid or viscous substances in quantities or of a size capable of causing obstruction to the flow in sewers or other interference with the proper operation of the POTW;
(5) Any wastewater having a temperature which will inhibit biological activity in the POTW treatment plant resulting in interference, or wastewater with a temperature at the introduction into the POTW that will result in a treatment plant influent temperature which exceeds 40°C (104°F);
(6) Any pollutant(s) which result in the presence of toxic gases, vapors or fumes within the POTW in a quantity that may cause acute worker health and safety problems;
(7) Any substance which may cause the POTW’s effluent or any other product of the POTW such as residues, sludges, or scum, to be unsuitable for reclamation and reuse or to interfere with the reclamation process where the POTW is pursuing a reuse and reclamation program. 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 § 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 criteria applicable to the sludge management method being used;
(8) Any substance which will cause the POTW to violate its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (hereinafter NPDES)/Kentucky Pollution Discharge Elimination Systems (hereinafter KPDES) permit and/or sludge disposal system permit; or
(9) Any trucked or hauled pollutants except at discharge points designated by the POTW. (Ord. passed 10-4-2005; Am. Ord. passed 8-3-2010) Penalty, see § 51.99
