<br />artisan well water, roof runoff, subsurface drainage, swimming pool
<br />drainage, condensate, deionized water, noncontact cooling water and
<br />unpolluted industrial wastewater, unless specifically authorized by
<br />the Executive Director. No person shall connect or cause to be
<br />connected to the sanitary sewer system any pipe or conduit which
<br />will allow discharge from any inflow sources listed in this section
<br />into the sanitary sewer system.
<br />(15) Cloth or textile waste. Any clothing rags, textile remnants or
<br />waste, cloth, scraps, except fibers of scrap that will pass through
<br />a one - fourth -inch mesh screen or its equivalent in screening
<br />ability, provided such fibers do not interfere with the normal
<br />operation of the treatment plant.
<br />(16) Fixed solids limit. Any waters or wastes in which the total fixed
<br />solids exceed one thousand five hundred (1,500) mg /l.
<br />(17) Excessive discharge rate and /or concentration. Any pollutant
<br />released in a discharge at a flow volume, flow rate and /or
<br />pollutant concentration, which will, either singly or by
<br />interaction with other pollutants, cause the POTW to violate any of
<br />its NPDES and /or state disposal system permits or the receiving
<br />water quality standards.
<br />(18) Excessive residues. Any pollutant released in a discharge at a flow
<br />volume, flow rate and /or pollutant concentration, which either
<br />singly or by interaction with other pollutants, may cause the
<br />POTW's effluent or any other product of the POTW, such as residues,
<br />sludges, or scums, to be unsuitable for reclamation and recycling
<br />or to interfere with the reclamation process. In no case, shall a
<br />substance discharged to the POTW cause the POTW to be in
<br />noncompliance with applicable local, State or Federal sludge use or
<br />disposal guidelines.
<br />(19) Heavy metals. Any waters or wastes containing amounts of arsenic,
<br />cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, zinc, or other heavy

<br />cause the POTW to exceed NPDES permit limitations.
<br />(20) Poisons. Any waters or wastes containing cyanide or other such
<br />poisonous substances.
<br />(21) Interfering solids. Any waters or wastes containing suspended
<br />solids of such character and quality that unusual attention or
<br />expense is required to handle such materials at the POTW.
<br />(22) Color. Any wastewater which imparts color and passes through the
<br />POTW treatment plant, including, but not limited to, dye wastes
<br />and vegetable tanning solutions, which consequently imparts
<br />sufficient color to the treatment plant's effluent thereby
<br />violating any State or Federal regulations pertaining to the
<br />effluent from the plant or the receiving water
<br />(23) Pretreatment sludges. Any removed substances to include, but not be
<br />limited to, sludges, screenings or other residues from the
<br />pretreatment of wastewater.
<br />(24) Medical wastes. Any medical wastes, except as specifically
<br />authorized by the Executive Director in a wastewater discharge
<br />permit.
<br />(25) Ammonia compounds. Any material containing ammonia, ammonia salts,
<br />or other chelating agents which will produce metallic complexes
<br />that interfere with the wastewater treatment system.
<br />(26) Hazardous waste. Any material that would be identified as hazardous
<br />waste according to 40 CFR Part 261 if not disposed of in a sewer
<br />except as may be specifically authorized by the Executive — Director.
