(7) Any radioactive wastes or isotopes of such half-life or concentration as may exceed limits established by the Board in compliance with applicable state or federal regulations;

(10) Any water or wastes which, by Interaction with other water or wastes In the public sewer system, release obnoxious gases, form suspended solids which interfere with the collection system, or create a condition deleterious to structures and treatment processes. The Board shall require all discharges to conform to all NPDES permit requirements and any other specified State or Federal regulations.
(B) (1) 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 this section, and which in the judgement of the Board may interfere with, pass through, or otherwise be incompatible with the wastewater facilities, processes, equipment, or receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the Board of Public Affairs may:
(a) Reject the wastes;
(b) Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge to the public sewers;
(c) Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge; and/or
(d) Require payment to cover added cost of handling and treating the wastes not covered by existing taxes or sewer charges.
