<br />
<br /> (al Prohibitions on Wastewater Discharges. No person shall

<br />concentration of more than 100 mg/1, whether emulsified or not. or
<br />containing substances which may solidify or become viscous at
<br />temperatures between 32° and 150°F (0° and 65°6) at the point of
<br />discharge into the system.
<br />
<br /> (2) Explosive Mixtures. Liquids, solids or gases which by
<br />reason of their nature or quantity are, or may be, sufficient either
<br />alone or by interaction with other substances to cause fire or explosion
<br />or be injurious in any other way to the sewerage facilities or to the
<br />operation of the system. At no time shall two successive readin§s on an
<br />explosion hazard meter, at the point of discharge into the sewer system,
<br />be more than five percent {5%) nor any single reading over ten percent
<br />{10%) of the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) of the meter. Prohibited

<br /> public sewers, with no particle greater than one-half (1/2) inch in any
<br /> dimension.
<br />
<br /> (5) Radioactive Wastes. Radioactive wastes or isotopes of such
<br /> half-life or concentration that they do not comply with regulations or
<br /> orders issued by the appropriate authority having control over their use
<br /> and which will or may cause damage or hazards to the sewerage facilities
<br /> or personnel operating the system.
<br />
<br /> (6) Solid or Viscous Wastes. Solid or viscous wastes which
<br /> will or may cause obstruction to the flow in a sewer, or otherwise
<br /> interfere wi th the proper operation of the wastewater treatment system.
<br /> Prohibited materials include, but are not limited to, grease,
