cilities shall be treated and dis-
posed of as found necessary and
directed by the Administrative
Authority.
(b) Sewage or other wastes
from a plumbing system which

ous through subjection to
treatment of a form approved
by the Administrative Au-
thority.
(c) The following materials
shall not be discharged into the
public sewer system:
(i) Gasoline, cleaning sol-
vent, fuel oil, or other flam-
mable compounds which, due to
explosions of such liquids or
their vapors, may cause dam-
age to the sewer system.
(ii) Ashes, sand, soil, rocks
or other inorganic compounds
which add excessive solid load-
ings on the sewer system which
cause unnecessary cleaning and
maintenance.
(iii) Tar, plastics, and other
water insoluble viscous ma-
terials which do not break down
by bacterial action and which
add to the solid loading upon
the sewer system.
(iv) Mineral Oils, lubri-
cating oils, grease, and other
materials which do not decom-
pose in the normal course of
sludge digestion, and which im-
pose potential fire hazards to
the sewer system.
(v) Feathers, hair, rags
and other materials which
cause excessive maintenance
throughout the sewer system.
(vi) Metal, broken glass,
wood shavings, sawdust, and
other materials which may plug
up sewer lines, pumps, and
appurtenant equipment.
(vii) Garbage in pieces larger
than 14 inch diameter.
(viii) Any wastes which con-
tain or result in the production
of toxic, corrosive, explosive, or
malodorous gases.

cent salt.

for which the pH is not less than

ppm.
2. Tests and Inspections
(a) The Administrative Au-
thority or other duly authorized
employees or agents of the City
shall be permitted to enter onto
all properties at any reasonable
hour for the purpose of (a)
determination of the size, depth,
location, and condition of any
sewer or drain connection; (b)
determination of the location,
use and discharge connections
of interceptors, and plumbing
fixtures; and (c) inspection,
observation, measurement,
sampling, and testing of the
quality and characteristics of
sewage or other waters or
wastes being discharged into
the public sewer system.
(b) Where warranted, in-
stallation of an appropriate
manhole or manholes for pur-
poses of sampling the final
industrial waste discharge may
be required by the Administra-
tive Authority.
(c) Whenever an analysis of
the sewage and wastes from
any plant, building, or premises
of an industrial or commercial
character confirms the presence
of any substance, liquid, gas or
solids in sufficient quantity or
condition which would cause a
public nuisance or hazard to
life, or would be deleterious to
the plumbing system, public
sewage system or to the waters
receiving the discharge of the
sewerage system, the owner of
said property shall pay to the
City of National City the cost
of each such sewage and waste
analysis.
A written notice shall be
served upon the property owner
by the Administrative Authority
which shall state the nature of
the violation, and shall provide
a reasonable time limit for the
satisfactory correction thereof.
The owner shall, within the
period of time stated in such
notice, permanently cease all
violation.
(d) The authoritative source
for the chemical and bacteri-
ological analysis shall be
"Standard Methods for the
Examination of Water and Sew-
age", latest edition, as ap-
proved by the Joint Committee
of the Public Health Associa-
tion, Federation of Sewage and
Industrial Waste Association
and the American Water Works
Association.
3. Permit Required
Any person, firm, corporation,
or governmental agency de-
siring to discharge industrial

to discharge said wastes into
said public sewage system from
