1040.02 DISCHARGE OF INDUSTRIAL WASTES INTO SANITARY SEWERS.

   Except as otherwise provided in the pretreatment standards adopted by the City in Section 1040.11, no person shall discharge into the public sanitary sewerage system industrial wastes having any of the following characteristics:

   (a)   Wastes containing liquids, solids or gases which by reason of their nature or quality may cause fire or explosion or be in any other way injurious to persons, the structures of the public sanitary sewerage system or its operation.

   (b)   Wastes having a temperature in excess of 150 degrees Fahrenheit or less than thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit.

   (c)   Wastes having a pH lower than 5.5 or higher than 9.5 or having any corrosive property capable of causing damage or hazard to structures, equipment or personnel of the public sanitary sewerage system. Where Council deems it advisable, it may require any person discharging industrial wastes to install and maintain, in an approved manner, a suitable device to continuously measure and record the pH of the wastes so discharged.

   (d)   Wastes containing any noxious or malodorous gas or substance which either singly or by interaction with sewage or other wastes is likely, in the opinion of Council, to create a public nuisance or hazard to life or prevent entry to sewers for their maintenance and repair;

   (e)   Wastes containing ashes, cinders, sand, mud, straw, shavings, metal, glass, rags, feathers, tar, plastics, wood, hair, chemical or paint residues, greases, lime slurry or viscous material of such character or in such quantity as, in the opinion of Council, may cause an obstruction to the flow in sewers or otherwise interfere with the proper operation of the public sanitary sewerage system. Attention is called to the fact that the maximum permissible concentration will vary throughout the system, depending upon the size of the particular receiving sewer and the flows therein.

   (f)   Wastes containing insoluble, nonflocculent substances having a specific gravity in excess of 1.5;

   (g)   Wastes containing soluble substances in such concentrations as to cause the specific gravity of the waste to be greater than 1.1;
