 PROHIBITED BY THIS ARTICLE, DO NOT MEET APPLICABLE
 PRETREATMENT STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS, AND/OR WHICH

 PROCESSES, EQUIPMENT, OR RECEIVING WATERS, OR WHICH
 OTHERWISE CREATE A HAZARD TO LIFE OR CONSTITUTE A
 PUBLIC NUISANCE, THE CITY MAY:
 (1)
 REJECT THE WASTES OR DENY OR CONDITION THE INTRODUCTION
 OF NEW SOURCES OF WASTEWATER TO THE WWF; OR
 (2)
 REQUIRE THE INDUSTRIAL USER TO DEMONSTRATE THAT
 IN-PLANT IMPROVEMENTS WILL MODIFY THE DISCHARGE TO SUCH

 (3)
 REQUIRE PRETREATMENT OF THE INDUSTRIAL USER'S DISCHARGE
 TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THIS ARTICLE; AND/OR
 (4)
 REQUIRE PAYMENT OF AN INDUSTRIAL WASTE SURCHARGE TO
 COVER THE ADDED COST OF HANDLING AND TREATING EXCESS
 LOADS IMPOSED ON THE WWF BY SUCH DISCHARGE. SURCHARGE
 AMOUNTS SHALL BE ESTABLISHED BY A RESOLUTION OF THE

 WWF. IMPOSITION OF INDUSTRIAL WASTE SURCHARGES FOR THE
 RECOVERY OF TREATMENT COSTS DOES NOT REPLACE OR
 SUPERSEDE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR PRETREATMENT FACILITIES,
 SHOULD THEY BE FOUND NECESSARY BY THE CITY.
  
  
 WHEN RESUBMITTING, IT IS HELPFUL TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE
 LETTER ADDRESSING EACH ITEM ALONG WITH THE CITY
