Part 403 and any amendments thereto, and which in the judgment of the Department of Water and Sewer may have a deleterious effect upon the sewage works, processes, equipment, or receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the Department of Water and Sewer 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 the added costs of handling and treating the wastes not covered by existing taxes of sewer charges, under the provisions of § 51.079.
