1. All industrial users subject to the operation of this ICRS shall be classified as "exceptional" or "normal." An "exceptional" user is one who discharges waste stronger than any of the following:
A. Three hundred milligrams per liter of 5 day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5).
B. Three hundred sixty milligrams per liter of suspended solids (SS).
C. Eighty-five milligrams per liter of total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN).
2. All industrial users who are classified as "exceptional" also are subject to § 18-604(5) of the codified ordinances of the Township of Hanover, which provides for a surcharge for pollutant concentrations in excess of these limits. The monitoring under this ICR system and the sampling for waste surcharge shall be the same. For reference only, the following provision, which is set forth in § 18604(5), is repeated here:
"In order to ascertain the strength of every industrial waste requiring a surcharge, the Township shall cause appropriate sampling and analyses to be made 4 times each year. Said appropriate sampling shall consist of seven 24 hour composite samples taken every day for 7 consecutive days. Results of each analysis shall be used to establish the surcharge for particular quarter during which the particular sample is taken and quarterly billings shall be made by the Township."
The ICR charge shall be computed based on the concentrations found in this sampling program.
3. All other industrial users, may be monitored on a random basis, as the Township deems appropriate or at the user's request. The wastewater characteristics for "normal" users shall be assumed to be 150 milligrams per liter of 5 day biochemical oxygen demand, 150 milligrams per liter of suspended solids, and 30 milligrams per liter of total Kjeldahl nitrogen, unless the Township determines, based on actual monitoring, the specific concentrations of pollutants for a particular "normal" user.
