A. No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged to any sewer that directly or indirectly connects to the POTW, any waste which:
1. May have an adverse or harmful effect on the POTW, POTW personnel or equipment, POTW effluent quality, or public or private property;
2. May otherwise endanger the public, the environment or create a public nuisance;
3. Exceeds limitations as set by this chapter or the director;
4. Causes the POTW to violate state or federal regulations or permits.
These general prohibitions apply to all users of the POTW whether or not they are subject to categorical pretreatment standards or any other national, state, or local pretreatment standards or requirements.
B. Prohibited wastes described in this article shall not be discharged to the POTW. Included within the prohibition is the discharge of any wastes that adversely affect water reclamation, water reuse, sludge disposal, or air quality.
C. The director, in determining the acceptability of specific wastes, shall consider the nature of the waste and the adequacy and nature of the collection, treatment and disposal system available to accept the waste.
D. The director may establish discharge limitations for industrial users that have a reasonable potential to degrade wastewater quality to the level that it prevents or inhibits the POTW's efforts to reclaim the water, for sludge disposal, or causes any unusual operation or maintenance problems in the POTW.
E. The director may grant a variance from this chapter for any technological standard as outlined in Section 13.36.075.
