� t <br /> amenable to treatment or reduction by the sewage treatment <br /> processes employed, or are amenable to treatment only to such <br /> degree that the sewage treatment plant effluent can not meet the <br /> requirements of other agencies having jurisdiction over discharge <br /> to the receiving waters. <br /> 11. It shall be unlawful for any person to place, deposit, <br /> permit to be deposited, or discharged in any manner whatsoever, any <br /> substance into a sewer at a point different than the proposed sewer <br /> connection to the sanitary sewer system. <br /> (c) If any waters or wastes are discharged, or are proposed to be <br /> discharged, to the public sewers, which waters contain the <br /> substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in this <br /> article, and which in the judgment of the Board may have a <br /> deleterious effect upon the sewage works, processes, equipment or <br /> receiving waters, or otherwise create a hazard to life or <br /> constitute a public nuisance, the Board may: <br /> 1. Require new industries or industries with significant <br /> increase in discharges to submit information on wastewater <br /> characteristics and obtain prior approval for discharges. <br /> 2. Reject the wastes in whole or in part for any reason <br /> deemed appropriate by the City. <br /> 3 . Require pretreatment of such wastes to within the limits <br /> of normal domestic sewage as defined. <br /> 4. Require control of flow equalization of such wastes so as <br /> to avoid any "slug" loads or excessive loads that may be harmful to <br /> the treatment works. <br /> 5. Require payment of a surcharge on any excessive flows or <br /> loadings discharged to the treatment works to cover the additional <br /> costs of having capacity for and treating such wastes. If the <br /> Board permits the pretreatment or equalization of waste flows, the <br /> design and installation of the plant and equipment shall be subject <br /> to the review and approval of the Board and subject to the <br /> requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances and laws. <br /> (d) Interceptors shall be provided by the discharger as necessary <br /> for the removal of grease, flammable wastes, sand, or other harmful <br /> substances. All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity <br /> approved by the Board or its designee, and shall be readily <br /> accessible for cleaning and inspection. The owner and/or operator <br /> of interceptor equipment shall be required to maintain certified <br /> records as to time and date of cleaning and inspection. <br /> (e) When a discharger is required to provide preliminary <br /> treatment, including interceptors or flow equalization facilities, <br /> such equipment shall be maintained by the discharger in <br /> satisfactory operating condition as determined by the Board of <br /> Public Works or its designee. <br /> (f) When required by the Director, the owner or any property <br /> serviced by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall <br /> install a suitable control manhole, together with such necessary <br /> meters and other appurtenances in the building sewer, to facilitate <br /> observation, sampling and measurement of the wastes. Such manhole, <br /> when required, shall be accessibly and safely located, and shall be <br /> constructed in accordance with plans approved by the Director. The <br /> manhole shall be installed by the owner at his expense, and shall <br /> be maintained by him so as to be safe and accessible at all times. <br /> Aaents of the City, the State Water Pollution Control Agencies and <br />
