No person(s) shall discharge or cause to be discharged, any of the following described waters or wastes to any public sewers:
(a) Pollutants which create a fire or explosion hazard in the wastewater treatment plant, including, but not limited to, wastestreams with a closed cup flashpoint of less than 140 degrees Fahrenheit or sixty degrees Centigrade using the test method described in 40 CFR 261.21.
(b) Any waters or wastes having a pH lower than 6.0, higher than 11.0, having any other corrosive property capable of causing damage or hazard to structures, equipment or personnel of the wastewater works.
(c) Solid or viscous substances in quantities or of such size capable of causing obstruction to the flow in sewers or other interferences with the proper operation of the wastewater facilities such as, but not limited to, ashes, bones, cinders, sand, mud, straw, shavings, metal, glass, rags, feathers, tar, plastics, wood, underground garbage, whole animal blood, manure, animal hair and flashings, animal entrails and paper dishes, cups, milk containers, etc., either whole or ground by garbage grinders.
(d) Any wastewater containing toxic pollutants in sufficient quantity, either singly or by interaction, to injure or interfere with any wastewater treatment process, which constitute a hazard to humans or animals, or to exceed the limitation set forth in this chapter.
(e) Pollutants which result in the presence of toxic gases, vapors or fumes within the wastewater treatment plant in a quantity that may cause acute worker health and safety problems.
(f) Any substance which may cause the wastewater treatment plant's effluent or treatment residues, sludges or scums to be unsuitable for reclamation and reuse or to interfere with the reclamation process. In no case shall a substance discharged to the wastewater treatment plant cause the wastewater treatment plant to be in noncompliance with sludge use or disposal criteria, guidelines or regulations developed under Section 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, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act or state standards applicable to the sludge management method being used.
(g) Any substances which will cause the wastewater treatment plant to violate its NPDES and/or other disposal system permits.
(h) Any substance with objectionable color not removed in the treatment process, such as, but not limited to, dye wastes and vegetable tanning solutions.
(i) Any wastewater having a temperature which will inhibit biological activity in the wastewater treatment plant resulting in interference; but in no case, wastewater with a temperature at the introduction into the wastewater treatment plant which exceeds forty degrees Centigrade (104 degrees Fahrenheit).
(j) Any slugload, which means any pollutant, including oxygen demanding pollutants (BOD, etc.), released in a single extraordinary discharge episode of such volume or strength as to cause interference or pass through at the wastewater treatment plant.
(k) Any wastewater containing any radioactive wastes or isotopes of such halflife or concentrations as exceed limits in compliance with applicable state or federal regulations.
(1) Any wastewater which causes a hazard to human life or creates a public nuisance.
(m) Discharges of petroleum oil, nonbiodegradable cutting oil or products of mineral oil origin in amounts that will cause interference or pass through.
(n) Any trucked or hauled pollutants except at discharge points designated by the Director.
