1. Industrial cost recovery applies to all process wastewater introduced by industrial users to the Township sewerage system.
2. lb the extent that an industrial user introduces sanitary or domestic wastes to the Township sewerage system, such user shall be excluded from the operation of this ICRS.
3. Throughout the implementation and operation of this ICRS, the Township must determine which users are classified as industrial users for the purposes of ICR. This determination shall be based on actual knowledge of the type of industry, the wastewater volumes and characteristics and reasonable presumption of no discharges identified in § 18-623.
4. For the purposes of determining which of the users discharge more than 25,000 gpd of equivalent sanitary wastes, the Township shall exclude domestic wastes or discharges from sanitary conveniences. The exclusion shall be computed in the same manner as the exclusion incorporated in the ICR charge formula set forth in § 18-627 of this Section. After applying the sanitary waste exclusion, discharges in the above divisions listed in § 18-623 (or that have a volume exceeding 25,000 gpd or the weight of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) or suspended solids (SS) equivalent to that weight found in 25,000 gpd of sanitary waste are considered industrial users. Sanitary wastes, for purposes of this calculation of equivalency, are the wastes discharged by "normal" users as defined in § 18-625 (3).
5. For the purposes of this ICRS, the following users are defined as discharging primarily segregated domestic wastes and are excluded from the operation of this ICRS:
A. Veterinary services (SIC: 0741, 0742).
B. Coin-operated Laundromats (SIC: 7215).
C. Beauty and/or barber shops (SIC: 723, 724).
D. Hospitals and other health care centers or clinics, and offices associated with health services (SIC: 80, excluding 8071, 8072.)
E. Museums, botanical and zoological gardens (SIC: 84).
