(A) If any waters or wastes are discharged, or are proposed to be discharged, to the public sewers, which waters contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in § 51.062 above, and which in the judgment of the Superintendent may have a deleterious effect upon the sewage works, processes, equipment or receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the Superintendent may:
(1) Require new industries or industries with significant increase in discharges to submit information on wastewater characteristics and obtain prior approval for discharges;
(2) Reject the wastes in whole or in part for any reason deemed appropriate by the city;
(3) Require pretreatment of such wastes to within the limits of normal sewage as defined;
(4) Require control or flow equalization of such wastes so as to avoid any “slug” loads or excessive loads that may be harmful to the treatment works; or
(5) Require payment of a surcharge on any excessive flows or loadings discharged to the treatment works to cover the additional costs of having capacity for and treating such wastes.
(B) If the Superintendent permits the pretreatment or equalization of waste flows, the design and installation of the plant and equipment shall be subject to the review and approval of the Superintendent and subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances and laws.
