949.02 INDUSTRIAL COST RECOVERY SYSTEM REQUIRED.

   Whereas the City has applied for and received from the USEPA, federal grant moneys in accordance with Public Law 92-500 for certain treatment works improvements, therefore, in compliance with Section 204 (b)(l)(B) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 (P. L. 92-500) and in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations, 40 CFR Part 35, Subpart E, specifically 40 CFR 35.928 and 35.935-13, an industrial cost recovery system is hereinafter provided for to be implemented and maintained in accordance with such regulation. (Ord. 147-80. Passed 4-28-80.)

949.03 USERS REQUIRED TO PAY ICRS.

   Any nongovernmental user of a publicly owned treatment works shall be required to pay ICRS which:

   (a)   Discharges more than 25,000 gallons per day of sanitary waste or a volume of process waste, or combined process and sanitary waste equivalent to 25,000 gallons per day of sanitary waste. Sanitary wastes are the wastes discharged from the average residential user as defined in Section 943.01. The concentrations as set forth therein shall be applied in determining equivalent volumes of process waste or combined discharges of sanitary and process wastes; or

   (b)    Discharges wastewater which contains toxic or poisonous solids, liquids or gases in sufficient quantity either singly or by interaction with other wastes that injure or interfere with any sewage treatment process, constitute a hazard to humans or animals, create a public nuisance, or create any hazard in or have an adverse effect on the waters receiving any discharge from the treatment works shall be subject to ICR payments. ICR payments shall be based on all wastes, without regard to strength, that are discharged directly or indirectly to the City's Treatment Works by such user. (Ord. 147-80. Passed 4-28-80.)

949.04 DETERMINATION OF ICR RATES.

   For each project which services a user as defined in Section 949.03 and which is constructed by or in conjunction with the City and for which USEPA financial assistance is used and industrial cost recovery is required, the final grant amount shall be divided by the ICRS period of thirty years as defined in Section 949.01(d) which produces the annual industrial cost recovery rate. The annual rate is then divided by the respective annual capacity of the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to produce an incremental charge per unit of usage. The method for developing ICR rates for the two general types of improvements is as follows:

(a)	Collection System Improvements Except Infiltration/Inflow Correction or Treatment.
	(1)	Final grant amount = Annual ICR rate
		ICR period (30 yr.)
	(2)	Annual ICR rate = ICR charge
		Annual Capacity of sewers into WWTP (100 cf)    per 100 cf
(b)	Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements.
	(1)	Allocate final grant by facility constructed:
		A.	Flow.
		B.	BOD removal.
		C.	SS removal.
		D.	Other pollutant removal or treatment related grant.
	(2)	Divide the total grant amount and the individual facility grant amounts of subsections B. through D. hereof by the ICR period of thirty years to obtain individual ICR rates.
	(3)	Divide individual ICR rates by respective capacities of WWTP.
		A.	Annual ICR total rate	= ICR charge per 100 cf for normal
			Annual WWTP capacity (100 cf)	strength or less discharge
		B.	Annual ICR BOD rate	= ICR charge per 100 lbs. BOD
			Annual WWTP capacity (100 lbs. BOD)	in excess of 300 mg/l
		C.	Annual ICR SS rate	= ICR charge per 100 lbs. SS
			Annual WWTP capacity (100 lbs. SS)	in excess of normal limits
		D.	Annual ICR "other" rate	= ICR charge per other unit in
			Annual WWTP capacity (units of other)	excess of normal limits

949.05 MEASUREMENT OF INDUSTRIAL FLOWS AND LOADINGS.

   For the purpose of establishing ICR payments, the methods and manner of measurement as provided for in Sections 943.15, 947.03 and 947.11 shall apply.

(Ord. 147-80. Passed 4-28-80.)

949.06 RIGHT-TO- SERVICE INDUSTRIAL USERS.

   Where any industrial user as defined in Section 949.03 has entered into agreement with the City to reserve capacity and becomes a right-to-service user as defined in Section 947.01, the ICR charges to such user shall be based on the capacity reserved or measurements of usage in accordance with Section 949.05, whichever is greater. (Ord. 147-80. Passed 4-28-80.)
