If any waters or wastes are discharged, or are proposed to be discharged, to the public sewers, which waters contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in § 51.021 of this subchapter, and which in the judgment of the Superintendent may have a deleterious effect upon the sewage works, processes, equipment, or receiving water, or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the Superintendent shall:
(A) Require new industries or industries with significant increase in discharges to submit information on wastewater characteristics and obtain prior approval for discharges.
(B) Reject the wastes in whole or in part for any reason deemed appropriate by the city.
(C) Require pretreatment of such wastes to within the limits of normal sewage as defined.
(D) Require control or flow equalization of such wastes so as to avoid any “slug” loads or excessive loads that may be harmful to the treatment works, or
(E) 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 such wastes.
