1. The WVSA will develop local limits as set forth in 40 C.F.R. § 403.5, and such other local limits as it deems advisable for the safe, efficient and reliable operation of the sewer system and the WVSA facilities. Local limits shall be applicable to such users as WVSA shall designate including, but not limited to, all industrial users.
2. WVSA may develop equivalent mass limits or equivalent concentration limits to implement categorical pretreatment standards when requested by a categorical industrial user, pursuant to the provisions at 40 C.F.R. §§ 403.6(c)(5) and (6).
(Ord. 2012-4, 9/13/2012, § 2.4)
No user shall ever increase the use of process water or, in any way, attempt to dilute a discharge as a partial or complete substitute for adequate treatment to achieve compliance with the limitations contained in the National Categorical Pretreatment Standards, or in any pollutant-specific limitations developed by the WVSA or the Commonwealth; provided, however, that dilution may be an acceptable means of complying with certain of the prohibitions set forth in § 18-311, e.g., the pH and temperature prohibitions, if such dilution is authorized by an industrial wastewater discharge permit.
(Ord. 2012-4, 9/13/2012, § 2.7)
No user shall discharge any stormwater, including, but not limited to, basement or foundation drainage, or any uncontaminated cooling water into the sanitary sewer system, provided that such discharges are allowable into those portions of the sewer system (if any) that are designated combined sewers by the Township. When, upon application to do so, the direct discharge of uncontaminated cooling water has been prohibited by the PADEP, the Township and WVSA may permit such a discharge into the sanitary sewer system upon application by the user to do so.
(Ord. 2012-4, 9/13/2012, § 2.8)
C. Fees
The purpose of this Section is to provide for the recovery of costs from users of the WVSA’s facilities for the implementation of the discharge control program established herein. In consideration of the service provided by WVSA and as provided in the service agreement, WVSA is hereby authorized to collect from users within the Township all such charges or fees as shall be set forth in the WVSA’s Schedule of Charges and Fees.
(Ord. 2012-4, 9/13/2012, § 3.1)

C. Fees for reviewing slug discharge control and spill prevention procedures, pretreatment plans, and plans for grease and sediment interceptors;
D. Fees for response to accidental or slug discharges;
E. Fees for permit applications;
F. Fees for consistent removal of pollutants otherwise subject to federal pretreatment standards as provided by 40 C.F.R. § 403.7;
G. Fees and surcharges for removal of pollutants such as BOD, TSS, oil and grease, phosphorus or nitrogen discharged in amounts greater than those found in domestic sewage;
H. Other fees as the Township and/or the WVSA may deem necessary to carry out the requirements contained herein.
2. These fees relate solely to the matters covered by this Part and are separate from all other fees chargeable by the Township and WVSA.
(Ord. 2012-4, 9/13/2012, § 3.2)
1. The WVSA may require payment of a surcharge by any user who discharges wastewater of higher than normal concentration or loading of any substance, which results in additional treatment costs to the WVSA. Such surcharges shall be in addition to the regular sewer rent set forth in the rules and regulations of the WVSA.
2. Surcharges shall be established by the WVSA in its duly adopted rules and regulations.
(Ord. 2012-4, 9/13/2012, § 3.3)
