§ 1145.77. Restrictions and prohibitions.

The director may restrict or prohibit discharge of any trucked waste to the Columbus sewer system. No trucked waste may be discharged to the Columbus sewer system without the express, written permission of the director on a manifest form as approved by the director. The discharge of trucked wastes shall be permitted only at locations, and during such hours, as shall be established by rule by the director. Discharge of trucked waste to the sewer system at any other location, or at any other time, is a violation of this chapter. No trucked waste shall be discharged to the sewer system which has any of the following components:

(A)

Material not readily biodegradable or not known to be compatible with the treatment processes utilized in the POTW;

(B)

Material deleterious to treatment plant operations, or plant operators such as oil and grease of a mineral origin, gasoline, toxic materials, flammables, solvents, paint materials, sand, or other materials capable of causing physical damage to the POTW;

(C)

Materials which would cause unusual expense in handling or treatment, unless prior arrangements have been made at the discretion of the director for payment of additional costs of services;

(D)

Any material regulated under a federal categorical pretreatment standard, or any sludges or wastes resulting from treatment of materials under federal categorical pretreatment standards;

(E)

Any materials which violate, or could violate, any prohibitive or restrictive provisions of Columbus City Code, Chapter 1145, or which violates any federal or state industrial discharge standards, regulations, or laws.

(F)

Non-domestically produced waste will be accepted only from generators which are located geographically within the city's pretreatment boundaries and meet program requirements.
