925.08 CONTROL OF DISCHARGES.
   (a)   If any waters or wastes are discharged, or are proposed to be discharged to the public sewers which contain substances or possess characteristics enumerated in the Industrial Pretreatment Program Ordinance and the most recently Ohio EPA Technical Justification, and which, in the judgment of the Municipality, may have a deleterious effect upon the wastewater treatment works, processes, equipment or receiving waters, including violation of applicable water quality standards, or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the Municipality shall do one or more of the following:
      (1)   Reject the wastes;
      (2)   Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge to the public sewers;
      (3)   Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge; and/or
      (4)   Require additional payment to cover the added cost of handling and treating the wastes.
   (b)   All industrial wastes discharged to the public sewers by major contributing industries shall, as a minimum, meet the national pretreatment standards or best practical control technology currently available for incompatible pollutants, as published in Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 128, unless the Municipality is committed, in its NDPES permit, to remove a specified percentage of the incompatible pollutant. In the latter instance, the applicable pretreatment standards may be correspondingly reduced to levels determined by the Director of the Industrial Pretreatment Program, or his duly authorized representative, or State regulatory agencies.
   (c)   If the Municipality requires pretreatment or equalization of waste flows, the design and installation of the plants and equipment shall be subject to the review and approval of the Director of the Industrial Pretreatment Program and State regulatory agencies and to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances and laws.
