It is the purpose of this article to provide for the recovery of costs from users of the wastewater treatment plant for the implementation of the program established herein. The applicable charges or fees shall be established by resolution and set forth in the Borough's Schedule of Charges and Fees.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: Said schedule is on file in the office of the Borough Secretary.
A. 
The charges and fees established by the Borough may include the following:
(1) 
Fees for reimbursement of costs of setting up and operating the required pretreatment program, including but not limited to legal and engineering costs.
(2) 
Fees for monitoring, inspections and surveillance procedures.
(3) 
Fees for reviewing accidental discharge procedures and construction.
(4) 
Fees for permit applications.
(5) 
Fees for filing appeals.
(6) 
Fees for consistent removal by the wastewater treatment plant of pollutants otherwise subject to Federal Pretreatment Standards.
(7) 
Other fees as the Borough may deem necessary to carry out the requirements contained herein.
B. 
These fees relate solely to the matters covered by this Part 2 and are separate from all other fees chargeable by the Borough.
A. 
Any nonresidential user discharging waste to the Authority's wastewater treatment plant with a monthly average suspended solids content greater than 300 milligrams per liter (mg/l) and/or a BOD content greater than 250 mg/l, in each case measured at the source, shall pay a strength-of-waste surcharge, to be developed based on actual cost.
B. 
Unless approved by the Borough in a compliance schedule contained in the permit conditions as described herein, no user shall at any time discharge a wastewater containing a BOD of 250 mg/l or suspended solids concentration in excess of 300 mg/l. Until such time as an industrial user develops an approved compliance schedule or as a user is in violation of or not, in the Borough's opinion, making satisfactory progress in completing the requirements of the compliance schedule contained in the permit, the Borough may impose greater percentage surcharges for discharges of wastes with BOD and suspended solids concentrations greater than that permitted by this Part 2.
C. 
The strength of the total wastes used for establishing surcharges shall be determined at intervals deemed advisable by the Borough or as may be requested by the industrial establishment. Combined waste strength may be determined:
(1) 
By sampling and analysis over a three-day period, during which time the strength of the combined discharge or production is at a maximum. The three-day sampling period is based on continuous days and represents a minimum which may be extended to a maximum of seven days based on a review of the particular industry's operating cycle.
(2) 
By relating production and combined waste strengths at the time of sampling to waste strengths at maximum production if sampling is not performed at maximum production.
(3) 
From estimates made by the Borough.
(4) 
From known relationships of products produced to strengths of wastes for those industries where such factors have been established.
