(A) Each industrial user of the city sewerage works shall pay its share of the total amount of the federal grant which has been obtained by the city under Federal Grant Project No. 0170759 for the financing of the construction of wastewater treatment works allocable to the treatment of the industrial wastewater from such user. Such users share shall not include an interest component.
(Ord. 578 § 2.1, passed 9-6-78)
(B) An industrial user's portion of the federal grant shall be based upon the volume and strength of industrial wastewater discharge to the wastewater treatment works of the city. This shall be determined based upon the following parameters:
(1) Nonsegregated wastes (combined industrial and domestic wastes):
(a) Volume: This value equals the total volume of water consumed per year as determined by the consumption records of the past year minus 25 gallons per employee per eight hours shift (for domestic waste) or, where water consumption does not reflect the actual quantity of wastewater tributary to the treatment works from such user, then the total yearly flow as recorded in the control manhole required by division (R) of this section minus 25 gallons per employee per eight hours shift (for domestic waste).
(b) Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). This value equals the total pounds of BOD in the wastewater discharged per year as determined in division (R) of this section minus 0.043 pounds of BOD per employee per eight hour shift (for domestic waste).
(c) Suspended Solids (SS). This value equals the total pounds of suspended solids in the wastewater discharged per year from such user as determined in division (R) of this section minus 0.05 pounds of suspended solids per employee per eight hour shift (for domestic waste).
(2) Segregated wastes:
(a) Volume. This value equals the total volume of industrial wastewater discharged per year, as recorded in the control manhole required in division (R) of this section.
(b) Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). This value equals the total pounds of BOD in the industrial wastewater discharged per year as determined in division (R) of this section.
(c) Suspended Solids (SS). This value equals the total pounds of suspended solids in the industrial wastewater discharged per year from such user as determined in division (R) of this section.
(Ord. 578 § 2.2, passed 9-6-78)
(C) Unit costs: The unit cost shall be as follows:
(1) Volume. Annual grant cost allocable to volume proportioned to design flow to plant per year — $0.013/1000 gallons.
(2) BOD. Annual grant cost allocable to BOD proportioned to design BOD plant loading per year — $0.016 per lb. BOD.
(3) SS. Annual grant cost allocable to SS proportioned to design SS plant loading per year — $0.015 per lb. SS.
(4) CD. Credit for domestic waste based on division (C)(1) through (3) herein: one employee per eight hour shift is equivalent to one-fourth of each standard per capita domestic waste discharger.
Volume = 100 gpd/4 = 25 gpd
BOD = 0.17 lbs/day/4 = 0.043 lbs. BOD/day
SS = 0.20 lbs/day/4 = 0.05 lbs. SS/day
CD = 25 gpd x 244 x $0.013/1000 gals. + 0.043 lbs. BOD/day x 244 x $0.016 lb.
BOD + 0.05 lbs. SS/day x 244 x $0.015/lb. SS = $0.43 per employee equivalent
BOD + 0.05 lbs. SS/day x 244 x $0.015/lb. SS = $0.43 per employee equivalent
(Ord. 578 § 2.3, passed 9-6-78)
(D) Cost for industrial user. The cost to be recovered from an industrial user (CI) shall be determined as follows:
CI = C(Volume) + C(BOD) + C(SS) - CD x N
Where CI = Industrial waste cost recovery amount (annual cost) to industrial user:
C = Unit cost for volume, BOD or SS as determined in division (C) above.
Volume = Gallons of waste discharged to plant per year.
BOD = lbs. of BOD discharged to plant per year.
SS = lbs. of suspended solids discharged to plant per year.
N = O for segregated industrial discharges.
N = employee equivalent if industrial discharge is not segregated from domestic wastewater.
(Ord. 578 § 2.4, passed 9-6-78)
(E) Reserved.
(F) Reserved.
(G) The annual industrial cost recovery payment must be greater than the minimum payment allowable under the federal regulations. The minimum industry payment shall be proportional to its flow or reserve capacity in relation to the treatment plant flow capacity. The minimum annual payment = $32,663/1,228,000 gals./365 x 1000 = $0.073 per 1000 gallons of wastewater. If the ICR payment established in division (D) are less than the minimum ICR payment calculated in this division, then the minimum ICR payment must be charged.
(Ord. 578 § 2.7, passed 9-6-78)
(H) The industrial cost recovery period shall be 30 years starting January 1, 1976, as stipulated by the United States and Illinois Environmental Protection Agencies.
(Ord. 578 § 2.8, passed 9-6-78)
(I) For the purpose of industrial cost recovery, the year shall be divided into quarterly periods, said periods to begin on the fist day of July, October, January and March, and all industrial users of the city shall pay the cost for industrial cost recovery, and such payment shall be made quarterly on the first day of the month immediately following the expiration of the quarterly period, for which service has been supplied and shall be payable within 20 days after rendition thereof.
(Ord. 578 § 2.9, passed 9-6-78)
(J) Each year during the industrial cost recovery period, each industrial user of the treatment works shall pay the cost recovery amount determined by division (D) of this section. Where an industry is connected to a public sewer after the start-up of the facilities constructed under a grant, such industry shall only pay its portion of the grant for each quarter remaining in the recovery period. Such industry will not be required to pay for those quarters of the recovery period prior to connection to a public sewer.
(Ord. 578 § 2.10, passed 9-6-78)
(K) The initial industrial cost recovery payment made by an industrial user which is connected to a public sewer after the start-up of the treatment plant constructed with a grant shall be made by the next scheduled due date as defined in division (I) of this section and shall be equal to one-quarter of the amount as determined by divisions (D), (F), or (G).
(Ord. 578 § 2.11, passed 9-6-78)
(L) If there is a change in the volume of industrial waste discharged into the sewerage works by an industrial user other than Nabisco as determined by the previous year's records, the city shall adjust such user's industrial cost recovery payment accordingly.
(Ord. 578 § 2.12, passed 9-6-78)
(M) If the volume of industrial wastewater discharged by Nabisco is in excess of the treatment plant capacity reserved for Nabisco, as determined by the previous year's records, the city shall increase Nabisco's industrial cost recovery payment accordingly.
(Ord. 578 § 2.13, passed 9-6-78)
(N) If there is an expansion or upgrading of the sewerage works utilizing a grant, each existing industrial user's share shall be adjusted accordingly. This does not include Nabisco if Nabisco's volume of industrial wastewater is less than Nabisco's reserved capacity.
(Ord. 578 § 2.14, passed 9-6-78)
(O) The city shall retain 50% of the amounts recovered from industrial users. The remainder, together with any interest earned thereon, shall be returned to the United States Environmental Protection Agency on an annual basis.
(Ord. 578 § 2.15, passed 9-6-78)
(P) Eighty percent of the retained amounts recovered from industrial users, together with interest earned thereon, shall be used solely for the eligible costs of the expansion or reconstruction of sewerage works associated with the project and necessary to meet the requirements of the Federal Act. The city, prior to commitment of the retained amounts, shall obtain written approval of the United States Environmental Protection Agency for any expansion or reconstruction. The remainder of the retained amounts may be used for such expenditures as the city deems appropriate. Pending use, the city shall invest the retained amounts in: obligations of the U.S. Government; or obligations guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government or any agency thereof; or shall deposit such amounts in accounts fully collateralized by obligations of the U.S. Government or by obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government or any agency thereof.
(Ord. 578 § 2.16, passed 9-6-78)
(Q) The city shall maintain a program of monitoring industrial user discharges as the City Council deems necessary, provided that any major contributing industry shall be monitored no less than 12 times annually and any industrial user that has a population equivalent of 50 or more shall be monitored no less than once annually. All other industrial users shall be monitored at such frequency as deemed necessary by the Council.
(Ord. 578 § 2.17, passed 9-6-78)
(R) (1) Industrial waste dischargers, within 90 days of the date of notification by the city, shall install and maintain at their expense acceptable water meters or flow metering devices and samplers and manholes as required to determine waste characteristics discharged to the public sewers.
(2) Flow metering devices, installed in monitoring manholes on service lines, will be required for measurement of the volume of waste discharged to the sewer when volumes cannot otherwise be determined from metered water consumption records. This determination shall be made by the city.
(3) The industry shall install and maintain waste samplers and hire an approved laboratory to complete waste testing when directed by the city. Waste sampling and testing shall be completed by the discharger as often as may be deemed necessary by the city and all certified test results shall be forwarded to the city. The city shall reserve the right to sample and test all discharges at any time and bill the dischargers for all involved costs. The city shall establish discharge loads and industrial cost recovery charges based on either or both tests and this shall be binding as a basis for industrial cost recovery charges.
