(A) If the character of the wastewater from any manufacturing or industrial plant or any other building or premises exceeds the limits for compatible pollutants established in § 54.075 or shall be such as to impose any unreasonable burden upon the sewers of the system or upon the sewage works or POTW in excess of a maximum limit prescribed in this subchapter, then an additional charge shall be made over and above the regular rates, or the Director shall require that the sewage be treated by the person, firm or corporation responsible for the sewage being emptied into the sewer or the right to empty the sewage shall be denied, if necessary, to protect the system or any part thereof. Surcharges required shall be computed as the weight of excess compatible pollutant in pounds multiplied by the cost per pound specified in the applicable township rate ordinance. The strength of the wastes shall be determined by composite samples taken over a sufficient period of time to insure a representative sample. The cost of sampling and testing shall be borne by the industry or establishment, whether owner or lessee. Tests shall be made by the user, at an independent laboratory, or at the YCUA wastewater treatment plant.
(B) Any wastewater discharged into the sewer system having a compatible pollutant in excess of those prescribed in § 54.075 may be permitted by the Director provided payment by the industrial concern for the full cost of treating such excess constituents in the wastewater is made and acceptance of the waste does not cause violation of E.P.A. guidelines, NPDES requirements, the Act or State Act.
