(A) If any waters or wastes (discharged or proposed to be discharged to the public sewers) contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated herein and, which in the judgment of the approving authority, may have a deleterious effect upon the wastewater treatment works, processes, equipment or receiving waters, which create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the approving authority may reject the wastes.
(B) The town may discontinue water service or sewer service, or both, to any user who violates any provision of this subchapter, when, in the judgement of the approving authority, the action is necessary to protect the wastewater treatment works, processes, equipment or receiving waters from injury or damage, or is necessary to protect life or health.
(C) Upon the promulgation of the federal categorical pretreatment standards for a particular industrial subcategory, the federal standard, if more stringent than limitations imposed under this chapter for sources in that subcategory, shall immediately supersede the limitations imposed under this chapter. The Superintendent shall notify all affected users of the applicable reporting requirements under 40 C.F.R. § 403.12.
(D) Where the town's wastewater treatment system achieves consistent removal of pollutants limited by Federal Pretreatment Standards, the town may apply to the Approval Authority for modification of specific limits in the Federal Pretreatment Standards.
CONSISTENT REMOVAL shall mean reduction in the amount of a pollutant or alteration of the nature of the pollutant by the wastewater treatment system to a less toxic or harmless state in the effluent which is achieved by the system 95% of the samples taken when measured according to the procedures set forth in 40 C.F.R. § 403.7(c)(2), "General Pretreatment Regulations for Existing and New Sources of Pollution", promulgated pursuant to the Act. The town may then modify pollutant discharge limits in the federal pretreatment standards if the requirements contained in 40 C.F.R. part 403, § 403.7, are fulfilled and prior approval from the approval authority is obtained.
