,. ?. ; other interference with proper operation of the sewage works. (7) Any waters or wastes containing TSS of such character and quantity that unusual attention or expense is required to handle such materials at the sewage treatment plant, or any substance which may cause the POTW's effluent or treatment residues, sludges or scums, to be unsuitable for reclamation and reuse or to interfere with the reclamation process. (8) Any noxious or malodorous gas or substance capable of creating a public nuisance, or substances causing the release of noxious or poisonous gases after discharg- into the public sewer system, or which result in the presence of toxic gases, vapcxrs or fumes within the POTW in a quantity that may cause acute worker health and safety problems. (9) Any waters or wastes containing strong acid iron pickling wastes or concentrated plating solutions, whether neutralized or not. (10) Any waters or wastes containing iron, chromium, copper, zinc and similar objectionable or toxic substances; or wastes exerting an excessive chlorine requirement, to such degree that any such material received in the composite sewage at the sewage treatment works exceeds the limits established by the Service Director as authorized in Chapter 917 for such materials, and which might cause the POTW to violate its NPDES and/or other disposal system permits. (11) Any waters or wastes containing phenols or other taste or odor-producing substances, in such concentrations exceeding limits which may be established by the Service Director as necessary, after treatment of the composite sewage, to meet the requirements of State, Federal or other public agencies of jurisdiction for such discharge to the receiving waters, and which might cause the POTW to violate its NPDES and/or other disposal system permits.

B. Excessive discoloration such as, but not limited to, dye wastes and vegetable tanning solutions. C. Unusual biochemical oxygen demand, TSS, or chlorine requirements in such quantities as to constitute a significant load on the sewage treatment works. D. Unusual volume of flow or concentration of wastes constituting "slugs" as defined in Section 911.03(81). (15) Waters or wastes containing substances which are not amenable to treatment or reduction by the sewage treatment processes employed or are amenable to treatment only to such degree that the sewage treatment plant effluent cannot meet the requirements of other agencies having jurisdiction over discharge to the rec:"Ning waters. (16) Any water or waste that for a duration of fifteen minutes has a concentration greater than three times that which is specified for TSS and BOD under Section 911.14 and/or which is discharged continuously at a rate exceeding 200 gallons per minute, will be unacceptable. (d) If any waters or wastes are discharged or are proposed to be discharged to trie public sewer which waters contain the substance or possess the characteristics enumerated in subsection (c) hereof, and which, in the judgment of the Service Director may have a deleterious effect upon the sewage works,
