(A) Except as provided by specific limits stated in this chapter, no person shall discharge or cause to be discharged to the public sewers any of the following described waters or wastes:
(1) BOD, in concentrations in excess of 1,000 mg/l;
(2) COD, in concentrations in excess of 1,000 mg/l;
(3) Phosphorus, in concentrations in excess of 100 mg/l;
(4) Chlorine demand, in concentrations in excess of 15 mg/l;
(5) Explosive liquids, solids or gases, benzene, naphtha, fuel oil, gasoline or other flammable material;
(6) Any garbage which has not been properly shredded (for example, no particle size greater than one-half inch);
(7) Grease, oils, wax, fats or any other substances that will solidify or become viscous in the sewer at temperatures between 32°F and 150°F;
(8) Substances which tend to settle out in the sewer, causing stopping or obstruction to flow;
(9) Liquids which are corrosive;
(10) Insoluble, solid or viscous substances, such as, but not limited to, ashes, cinders, sand, mud, straw, shavings, metal, glass, tar, feathers, plastics, wood, hair and paunch manure;
(11) Any noxious or malodorous gas or substance capable of creating a public nuisance;
(12) Substances having a pH of less than 5.5 or greater than 9.5;
(13) All toxic (in accordance with federal regulations), poisonous or radioactive wastes exceeding limits established by applicable state and federal regulations;
(14) Any substance harmful to pipes, jointing material and manholes;
(15) Any live animals, fish or reptiles;
(16) Suspended solids in excess of 250 mg/l;
(17) Wastes having a temperature less than 32°F or greater than 150°F;
(18) Any water or waste containing greater than 100 parts per million by weight of fat, oil or grease;
(19) Any substance or volume of substances or materials which would cause interference of the system or cause violation of the NPDES permit;
(20) Arsenic, in concentrations in excess of 0.014 mg/l;
(21) Cadmium, in concentrations in excess of 0.06 mg/l;
(22) Chromium (total), in concentrations in excess of 0.020 mg/l;
(23) Copper, in concentrations in excess of 0.65 mg/l;
(24) Cyanide, in concentrations in excess of 0.19 mg/l;
(25) Lead, in concentrations in excess of 3.6 mg/l;
(26) Nickel, in concentrations in excess of 0.031 mg/l;
(27) Zinc, in concentrations in excess of 0.490 mg/l;
(28) Silver, in concentrations in excess of 0.032 mg/l;
(29) Any material indicated in the EPA priority pollutants and/or state critical material list or register;
(30) Wastes which create or can create a fire or explosion hazard, defined as being greater than 20% of the lower explosive limit for the substance. Materials of concern in this regard include, but are not limited to, gasoline, kerosene, naphtha, benzene, toluene, perchlorates, bromates, carbides, hydrides, Stoddard solvents and sulfides; also, any liquids, solids or gases which, by their nature or quantity, are or may be sufficient, either alone or by interaction with other substances, as to cause fire;
(31) Wastes which create or cause corrosive structural damage;
(32) Solid or viscous substances in amounts which cause obstructions to the flow in collecting or intercepting sewers or interference with the proper operation of the treatment works or explosion or are in any other way injurious to the sewer work or its operation;
(33) Any pollutant, including oxygen-demanding substances, released in a discharge of such volume or strength which causes interference;
(34) Any wastes at such temperatures that biological activity is inhibited at the treatment works, resulting in interference. The discharge of heat must be regulated so that the temperature at the treatment works influent does not exceed 40°C (104°F);
(35) Pollutants that will cause corrosive structural damage to the treatment plant;
(36) Solid or viscous substances in amounts which cause obstructions to the flow in collecting or intercepting sewers or interference with the proper operation of the treatment works. In no case shall any wastes have levels in excess of 100 mg/l of fats, oils and grease discharged to the waste stream;
(37) Any pollutant, including oxygen-demanding substances, released at a flow rate or concentration that results in interference;
(38) Any wastewater with objectionable color not removed in the treatment process, such as, but not limited to, dye wastes and vegetable tanning solutions;
(39) Any slugload, which shall mean any pollutant, including oxygen-demanding pollutants (BOD and the like), released in a single extraordinary discharge episode of such volume or strength as to cause interference to the sewage works; and/or
(40) Any wastewater containing any radioactive wastes or isotopes of such half-life or concentration as may exceed limits established by the village in compliance with applicable state or federal regulations.
(B) (1) Upon the promulgation of the national categorical pretreatment standards, alternative discharge limits or other federal or state limitations, for a particular industrial subcategory, the pretreatment standard, if more stringent than limitations imposed under this section for sources in that subcategory, shall immediately supersede the limitations imposed under this section and shall be considered part of this section.
(2) The village shall notify all affected users of the applicable reporting requirements.
(C) State requirements and limitations on discharges shall apply whenever they are more stringent than the national categorical pretreatment standards or limitations presented in this section.
