(A) No user shall contribute or cause to be contributed, directly or indirectly to the village sewage works, any pollutant or wastewater contaminant that will pass through, cause interference with, inhibition of, or upset to the operation of the POTW.
(B) No user shall contribute, or cause to be discharged, either directly or indirectly, any of the following described pollutants, substances or wastewater into the POTW works:
(1) No discharger shall increase the use of potable or process water in any other way, attempt to dilute a discharge as a partial or complete substitute for adequate treatment in order to achieve compliance with a pretreatment standard or requirement except where expressly authorized to do so by an applicable categorical pretreatment standard;
(2) Any unpolluted water including, but not limited to, uncontaminated noncontact cooling water, stormwater, surface and groundwaters, roof run-off, spill contaminant area run-off, footing drains or construction drainage except as specifically permitted by the Pretreatment Coordinator;
(3) Any solids, solid wastes, liquids or gases which by reason of their nature or quantity, are or may be sufficient, either alone or by interaction, to cause safety hazards, fire or explosion or be injurious in any other way to the facilities or personnel of the village, or to the operation of village POTW. Materials considered in this regard are those with a closed cup flashpoint of less than 140F. or 60C. using the test methods specified in 40 CFR 261.21;
(4) Any solid, solid waste or viscous substance that shall or may cause obstruction to the flow in a sewer, or other interference to the operation of the wastewater system. Prohibited materials include but are not limited to: grease, grease trap wastes, garbage with particles greater than 1/2-inch in any direction, animal guts or tissues, paunch manure, bones, hair, hides or fleshings, entrails, whole blood, feathers, ashes, cinders, sand, spent lime, stone or marble dust, metal, glass, straw, shavings, grass clippings, rags, spent grains or hops, paper, wood, plastics, residues from gas, tar or asphalt, residues from refining or processing of fuel or lubricating oils, mud or glass grinding or polishing waste, fatty acids or esters of fatty acids, or any material which can be disposed of as trash;
(5) Petroleum oil, non-biodegradable cutting oil, or products of mineral oil origin in amounts that will cause interference or pass-through;
(6) Any wastewater containing noxious or malodorous solids, liquids, or gases, which either singly or by their interaction are capable of creating a public nuisance or hazard to life, or to interfere with, inhibit or upset any operation of POTW Works, including but not limited to, prevention of entry into sewers for their maintenance and repair;
(7) Pollutants which result in the presence of toxic gases, vapors, or fumes within the POTW in a quantity that may cause acute worker health and safety problems or which necessitates the village taking special measures to counteract and/or alleviate the impact of the pollutant(s);
(8) Any wastewater having a temperature which shall inhibit biological activity in the village's POTW facilities, but in no case heat in such a quantity that the influent temperature at the sewage treatment plant to which the user discharges will exceed 40C. (104F.);
(9) Any substance or combination of substances which shall cause the village facilities to be in violation of its NPDES permit(s), or to cause the village's POTW to violate receiving stream water quality and/or general effluent discharge standards;
(10) Any substance with objectionable color that is not removed in the treatment processes, such as, but not limited to: dye waste, ink waste and vegetable tanning solutions;
(11) Any wastewater having a pH less than 5.0 or higher than 10.0 or having any other corrosive property capable of causing damage or hazard to structures, equipment or personnel in the system. The pH limits shall be met at all times, and are not subject to averaging;
(12) Any wastewater containing toxic pollutants in sufficient quantity, either singly or by interaction, to injure, interfere with or upset any wastewater treatment processes or facilities, constitute a hazard to humans or animals, or to exceed limitation as set forth in the existing Act, or the Act as it may be amended;
(13) Any substance that may cause the village's POTW effluents or sludges, to be unsuitable for reclamation and re-use, or interfere with the reclamation processes. In no case shall a substance discharged to the village's POTW cause the village to be in noncompliance with any sludge use or disposal regulations developed under Section 4.05 of the Act; or any regulations affecting sludge use or disposal developed pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, Solids Waste Disposal Act, Toxic Substance Control Act, or any State or local standards applicable to any sludge management methods either being used, or considered by the village;
(14) Any pollutant, including oxygen demanding pollutants, released in a discharge at a flow rate and/or concentration (including any slug load), either singly or by interaction with other pollutants which may interfere with, inhibit, or upset the POTW;
(15) Any wastewater containing any radioactive wastes or isotopes, except in accordance with village, state and federal rules governing such discharges;
(16) Any wastewater containing any organism, including viruses, considered pathogenic and/or detrimental to process organisms other than by direct excrement and any other wastes defined as medical waste;
(17) Any leachate or remediation wastewater;
(18) All trucked or hauled wastes;
(19) Any sludges, screenings or other residues from the pretreatment of nonresidential wastes;
(20) Any wastewater causing the POTW effluent to fail a toxicity test;
(21) Any wastes containing detergents, surface active agents or other substances that may cause excessive foaming in the POTW. Wastes prohibited in this section shall not be processed or stored in such a manner that they could be discharged to the POTW;
(22) Any wastewater containing substances in sufficient quantity to interfere with the POTW;
(23) Any solid, solid waste or viscous substances that have caused an obstruction to the flow in a sewer that is eliminated by a professional service or contractor;
(24) Any substances that inhibit the use of UV for disinfection purposes;
(25) Unusual concentrations of inert suspended solids (such as, but not limited to filler earth, lime slurries and lime residues) or dissolved solids (such as, but not limited to sodium chloride and sodium sulfate); and
(26) Wastewater or wastes containing substances which are not amenable to treatment or reduction by the sewage treatment processes employed, or are amenable to treatment only to such degree that the sewage treatment plant effluent cannot meet the requirements of agencies having jurisdiction over discharge to the receiving waters.
