In addition to the prohibitions contained in OAC 252:623-1-7(a), these additional prohibitions apply:

(1) Wastewater which imparts color which cannot be removed by the treatment process, such as, but not limited to, dye wastes and vegetable tanning solutions, which imparts color to the treatment plant's effluent, thereby violating the CTT's NPDES permit;

(2) Storm water, surface water, groundwater, artesian well water, roof runoff, subsurface drainage, swimming pool drainage, condensate, deionized water, noncontact cooling water, and unpolluted wastewater, unless specifically authorized by the DEQ;

(3) Sludges, screenings, or other residuals from the pretreatment of industrial wastes;

(4) Noxious or malodorous liquids, gases, solids, or other wastewater which, either singly or by interaction with other wastes, are sufficient to create a public nuisance or a hazard to life, or to prevent entry into the sewers for maintenance or repair;

(5) Wastewater containing any radioactive wastes or isotopes except in compliance with applicable State or Federal regulations;

(6) Medical wastes, except as specifically authorized by the DEQ in a wastewater discharge permit;

(7) Wastewater causing, alone or in conjunction with other sources, the treatment plant's effluent to fail a toxicity test; for purposes of this paragraph toxicity means the endpoint of the acute biomonitoring test requirement as specified in the CTT's NPDES permit;

(8) Detergents, surface-active agents, or other substances which may cause excessive foaming in the POTW; and

(9) Fats, oils, or greases of animal or vegetable origin in concentrations greater than 100 mg/l.
