(1) Prohibit the discharge of the waste water;
(2) Require a discharger to demonstrate that in-plant modifications will reduce or eliminate the discharge of the substances in conformity with this subchapter;

Any subsequent alterations or additions to the pretreatment or flow control facilities shall not be made without due notice to and prior approval of the Director.
