- Any substances which may cause wastewater treatment plant effluent or any other products of the County sewerage system, such as residues, sludges, or scum, to be unsuitable for the reclamation process. In no case shall a substance discharged into the County sewerage system cause the system to be in noncompliance with sludge use or disposal criteria, guidelines, ordinance, or regulations developed by local, state or federal authorities.
