(a) Where investigation reveals the presence in the system of nonacceptable industrial wastes, as set forth in § 1044.05, emanating from any lot, land, building or premises, the owner, lessor, lessee or occupant of the lot, land, building or premises shall be required to treat, neutralize or in other ways prepare the noxious substance therein, to the satisfaction of the Approving Authority, in order to convert the same into acceptable industrial wastes. Failure to do so within 30 days after written notice, or within such other longer period of time as may be specified by the Approving Authority, shall serve as authority for the Approving Authority, with the concurrence of the Mayor, to take whatever steps are necessary to prevent the nonacceptable industrial wastes from being discharged into the sewer system.
(b) If the nonacceptable industrial wastes are such that they may cause imminent danger of injury or damage to persons or property, the Approving Authority may, with the concurrence of the Mayor, take immediate steps, without notice, to prevent such industrial wastes from being discharged into the sewer system, including the disconnecting of the public sewer main from the premises producing the nonacceptable industrial wastes.
