<br /> restrictions laid out in Section 1.3 BG(3) of this Ordinance.

<br /> turbidity, color, BOD, Chemical Oxygen Demand(COD), toxicity, or odor].
<br /> AV. Pretreatment. The reduction of the amount of pollutants, the elimination of pollutants, or
<br /> the alteration of the nature of pollutant properties in wastewater prior to (or in lieu of)
<br /> introducing such pollutants into the POTW. This reduction or alteration can be obtained
<br /> by physical, chemical, or biological processes; by process changes; or by other means
<br /> (except by diluting the concentration of the pollutants unless allowed by an applicable
