In addition to the term defined in § 18-601(4) of Hanover Township [Statutory Code], the following definitions apply herein:
EXPANSION—an increase in collection and/or treatment capacity.
INFILTRATION—the water entering a sewer system from the ground, through such means as, but not limited to, defective pipes, pipe joints, connections or manhole walls. Infiltration does not include, and is distinguished from, inflow.
INFLOW—the water discharged into a sewer system, including service connections from such source as, but not limited to, roof leaders, cellar, yard and area drains, foundation drains, cooling water discharges, drains from springs and swampy areas, manhole covers, cross connections from storm sewers and combined sewers, catch basins, storm waters, surface runoff, street wash waters or drainage. Inflow does not include, and is distinguished from, infiltration.
INDUSTRIAL COST RECOVERY (ICR)—recovery by the Township from the industrial users of the treatment works of the grant amount allocable to the treatment of wastes from such users pursuant to § 204 (b) of P.L. 92-500 as amended and subsequent regulations.
INDUSTRIAL COST RECOVERY PERIOD—that period during which the Federal grant amount allocable to the treatment of wastes from industrial users shall be recovered from industrial users of the Township sewer system, a period of 30 years from the first day that each such grant assisted treatment works shall become operational (or, the useful like of the treatment works in the event that such useful life is less than 30 years).
INDUSTRIAL USER (This definition is contingent on EPA's eventual finalization of ICR regulations pursuant to the 1977 Amendments to P.L. 92-500.) As of September 27, 1978, the definition is as follows:
(1) Any nongovernmental nonresidential user of treatment works owned by the Township discharges more than the equivalent of 25,000 gallons per day (gpd) of sanitary wastes and which is identified in the Standard Industrial Classification MailLial, 1972, United States Office of Management and Budget, as amended and supplemented under one of the following divisions:
(a) Division A: Agricultural Forestry and Fishing.
(b) Division B: Mining
(c) Division D: Manufacturing.
(d) Division E: Transportation, Communications, Electric, Gas and Sanitary Services.
(e) Division 1: Services. (For the purposes of industrial cost recovery this definition of industrial user applied regardless of how a user is classified for other purposes: e.g., commercial or public.)
(2) Any nongovernmental user of treatment works owned by the Township which discharges wastewater to the treatment works which contains toxic pollutants or poisonous solids, liquids or gases in sufficient quantity, either singly or by interaction with other wastes, to contaminate the sludge of any municipal system, or to injure or to interfere with any sewage treatment process, or which constitutes a hazard to humans or animals, creates a public nuisance or creates any hazard in or has an adverse effect on the waters receiving any discharge from the treatment works.
PROCESS WASTEWATER—liquid wastes from industrial processes, such as cooling water or water which has come in contact with an end-product or with materials incorporated in an end product; distinct from domestic or sanitary wastes.
SANITARY WASTES—of substantially such origin and strength as those typically produced in households, including wastes from sanitary conveniences. Also called domestic wastes and sometimes primarily separated domestic wastes.
SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE—for the purposes of ICR, any change in strength, volume or delivery flow rate which the Township Manager considers to be substantial. Changes in characteristics which cause a 10% change in the annual ICR charge may be presumed to be substantial.
UPGRADING—an increase in the degree of treatment. (Ord. 339, 7/3/1996, § 4)
