Non-hazardous leachate water may be deposited or discharged into the City’s sewerage system. Such may be done directly or by the delivering of same to the Warren Water Pollution Control Center.
The treatment charge for non-hazardous leachate water, whether pretreated or non- pretreated and whether discharged directly or hauled to the Warren Water Pollution Control Center, is three cents ($0.03) per gallon.
Notwithstanding any provisions existing within this section to the contrary, however, the treatment charge for non-hazardous pretreated leachate water that has been pretreated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by a method approved, installed and operated by it, and demonstrating a post treatment hydrogen sulfide level of 0 parts per million, is seven tenths of one cent ($0.007) per gallon. The United States Environmental Protection Agency is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the pretreatment system. Said pretreatment system will fall under the guidelines of the Warren Water Pollution Control Center’s Industrial Pretreatment Program and will be subjected to self and compliance monitoring to ensure that proper pretreatment levels for discharge are achieved. This rate will be effective only as long as the pretreatment system operates at a level and with sufficient treatment to achieve hydrogen sulfide levels of 0 parts per million post treatment discharge. In the event that post pretreatment levels do not achieve hydrogen sulfide levels of 0 parts per million, the standard rate of three cents ($0.03) per gallon shall be applied on all metered flow.
Unless otherwise excused by law, a depositor or discharger of non-hazardous leachate water is subject to all applicable sewage and sewer ordinances, statutes, rules and regulations, including, but not limited to, those relative to industrial discharge and industrial pretreatment.
