(a) If any wastewater is discharged, or is proposed to be discharged to the public sewers, which contains the constituents or possesses the characteristics enumerated in the preceding sections of this article, and which may have a deleterious effect upon the wastewater collection system, wastewater treatment processes, equipment, or receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the director may as a condition to the waste discharge permit:
(1) Reject the wastes;
(2) Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge to the public sewers;
(3) Require control over the quantities, concentrations or rates of discharges; and/or
(4) Require payment to cover the added cost of receiving, handling, and treating the wastes not covered by current charges of fees for wastewater service.
(b) If the director permits or requires the pretreatment or equalization of waste flows, the design, installation of the plants and equipment and their effective operation shall be subject to the prior review and approval of the director and the local, state, and federal agencies having jurisdiction and shall be subject to the requirements of all other applicable rules, regulations, ordinances and laws.
(c) In the event a spill or loss into the building sewer of any deleterious materials is threatened or occurs, the owner shall promptly notify the director of the nature of the spill or threatened spill, the quantity, and if it has occurred, the time of the spill. The cause of such spills and losses of deleterious materials shall be corrected, and the costs of such correction, together with all resulting damages, shall be borne by the owner.
