(A) Whenever deemed necessary, the Board may require users to restrict their discharge during peak flow periods, designate that certain wastewater be discharged only into specific sewers, relocate and/or consolidate points of discharge, separate sewage wastestreams from other facility wastestreams, and such other conditions as maybe necessary to protect the POTW and determine the user's compliance with the requirements of this chapter.
(B) The Board may require any person discharging into the POTW to install and maintain, on their property and at their expense, a suitable storage and flow-control facility to ensure equalization of flow. A wastewater discharge permit may be issued solely for flow equalization.
(C) Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided for the proper handling of wastewater containing excessive amounts of grease and oil, or sand; unless a waiver is granted by the Board (normally not applicable to residential dwellings). All interception units shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Board and shall be so located to be easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Such interceptors shall be inspected, cleaned, and repaired by the user at their expense. Such interceptors shall be maintained such that the user does not violate the pretreatment standards in this chapter.
(D) (1) Waste from garbage grinders shall not be discharged into a sanitary sewer except:
(a) Wastes generated in preparation of food normally consumed on the premises; or
(b) Where the user has obtained authorization for that specific use from the Board, and agreed to undertake whatever self-monitoring is required to enable the Board to equitably determine the user charges based on the waste constituents and characteristics.
(2) These grinders shall shred the waste so that all particles shall be carried freely under normal flow conditions prevailing in the sanitary sewer. Garbage grinders shall not be used for grinding plastic, paper products, inert materials or garden refuse.
(E) Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be required to install and maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter.
