(10) Wastewater which imparts color which cannot be removed by the <br /> treatment process, such as, but not limited to, dye wastes and vegetable <br /> tanning solutions, which consequently imparts color to the treatment plant's <br /> effluent, thereby violating the City's NPDES permit. Color (in combination <br /> with turbidity) shall not cause the treatment plant effluent to reduce the <br /> depth of the compensation point for photosynthetic activity by more than <br /> ten percent (10%) from the seasonably established norm for aquatic life; <br /> (11) Wastewater containing any radioactive wastes or isotopes except as <br /> specifically approved by the Director in compliance with applicable State or <br /> Federal regulations; <br /> (12) Storm water, surface water, ground water, artesian well water, roof runoff, <br /> subsurface drainage, swimming pool drainage, condensate, deionized <br /> water, non-contact cooling water, and unpolluted wastewater, unless <br /> specifically authorized by the Director; <br /> (13) Any sludges, screenings, or other residues from the pretreatment of <br /> industrial or commercial wastes or from industrial or commercial <br /> processes, except as authorized by the Director; <br /> (14) Medical wastes, except as specifically authorized by the Director; <br /> (15) Wastewater causing, alone or in conjunction with other sources, the <br /> treatment plant's effluent to fail a toxicity test; <br /> (16) Detergents, surface-active agents, or other substances in amounts which <br /> may cause excessive foaming in the POTW; <br /> (17) Any liquid, solids, or gases which by reason of their nature or quantity are, <br /> or may be, sufficient either alone or by interaction with other substances to <br /> cause fire or explosion or be injurious in any other way to the POTW or to <br /> the operation of the POTW. At no time shall two (2) successive readings <br /> on an explosion meter, at the point of discharge into the system (or at any <br /> point in the system), be more than five (5%) per cent nor any single reading <br /> over ten (10%) per cent of the lower explosive limit (LEL) of the meter. <br /> (18) Animal guts or tissues, paunch manure, bones, hair, hides or fleshings, <br /> entrails, whole blood, feathers, ashes, cinders, sand, spent lime, stone or <br /> marble dusts, metal, glass, straw, shavings, grass clippings, rags, spent <br /> grains, spent hops, waste paper, wood, plastics, gas, tar asphalt residues, <br /> residues from refining or processing of fuel or lubricating oil, mud, or glass <br /> grinding or polishing wastes. <br /> (19) Any substance which will cause the POTW to violate its NPDES and/or <br /> other disposal system permits. <br /> (20) Any wastewater, which in the opinion of the Director can cause harm either <br /> to the sewers, sewage treatment process, or equipment; have an adverse <br /> effect on the receiving stream; or can otherwise endanger life, limb, public <br /> property, or constitute a nuisance, unless allowed under special agreement <br /> by the Director (except that no special waiver shall be given from <br /> categorical pretreatment standards). <br /> 11 <br />
