(1) Require new industries (or other large users) or industries (or other large users) with significant increase in discharges to submit information on wastewater quantities characteristics and obtain prior approval for discharges;
(2) Reject the waste in whole or in part for any reason deemed appropriate by the city;
(3) Require pretreatment of wastes to within the limits of normal sewage as defined;
(4) Require control or flow equalization of wastes so as to avoid any slug loads or excessive loads that may be harmful to the treatment works; and
(5) Require payment of a surcharge on any excessive flows or loadings discharged to the treatment works to cover the additional costs of having capacity for and treating wastes.
(B) If the Superintendent permits the pretreatment or equalization of waste flows, the design and installation of the plant and equipment shall be subject to the review and approval of the Superintendent and subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances and laws.
