Whenever any
industrial waste is produced in such quantities as will, in the opinion of the
County Commissioner or Superintendent, injure the public sewers into which they
may be discharged, or adversely affect the treatment of sewage, or which does
not yield readily to treatment by the processes employed in the sewage
treatment works, such discharge will not be permitted into the public sewers
without previous approval as prescribed under Article VI.
§ 162-16. Wastes

of sewage treatment works. The process or processes employed in the
pretreatment of such wastes shall in each case be satisfactory to and shall
