(1) INDUSTRIAL WASTE, for the purposes of this section, pertains to those non-domestic waste streams discharged as defined by SIC codes, as registered under 40 C.F.R. Part 403, Pretreatment Guidelines set forth by the United States of America Environmental Protection Agency, and includes significant users who discharge greater than 25,000 gallons per day of flow, or contributes a process waste stream which makes up 5% or more of the average dry weather hydraulic, or organic, capacity of the POTW treatment plant; or is designated as such by the control authority on the basis that the industrial user has a reasonable potential for adversely affecting the POTW’s operation, or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement (in accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 403.8(f)(6) or by categorical classification).
(2) The industrial waste discharge permit does not apply to restaurants, but does not exempt restaurants from excessive strength surcharge fees for excess waste strength, or any required laboratory testing, or the need to install and maintain grease traps as outlined in the District’s rules and regulations.
(C) Excessive strength surcharge rates. Excessive strength surcharge rates shall be applicable to all industrial and commercial users who generate wastewater, which contains any non-conventional pollutants or strengths of carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD5), total suspended solids (TSS), ammonia (NH3), or total phosphorus that exceed the system average strengths listed in the table in division (C)(2) below, as determined by special laboratory analysis by a certified laboratory. Other special service rates shall be charged on a case-by-case basis for toxic pollutant discharges, with the charges being based on the difficulty of treating the toxic pollutant as well as sampling, testing, and disposal charges. Strength charges are to be computed on actual measured strengths and volumes on a monthly basis. Excessive strength surcharge rates shall be calculated from the number of pounds delivered to the treatment plant in excess of the concentrations, and at the cost per pound, listed in the table below:
