The amount of the surcharges will be based upon the volume of flow and the character and concentration of the constituents of the wastewater ~„^^° °^~~^°~~° -°'° '~° °^°^`'°` dischazged in excess of the levels listed above. An industrial user shall never increase the amount of water to dilute pollutant concentrations to avoid or reduce surcharges. (a) The volume of flow used in determining the total dischazge of wastewater for payment of user charges and surcharges shall be based on the following: (1) Metered water consumption as shown in the records of ineter readings maintained by WSACC. If a person dischazging wastewater into the public sewers produces evidence to the Executive Director that a significant percent of the total annual volume of water used for all purposes does not reach the public sewers, then an estimated percentage of total water consumption to be used in determining non-domestic wastewater discharge may be agreed upon between the Executive Director and the person dischazging such non-domestic wastewater into the public sewer. The Executive Director shall ascertain whether substantial evidence has been provided to prove a significant percent of water does not reach the public sewers; or (2) If required by WSACC or at the individual dischazges option, other flow monitoring devices which measure the actual volume of wastewater dischazged to the sewer. Such devices shall be accessible and safely located, and the measuring system shall be installed in accordarice with plans approved by WSACC and the eovemine municipalitv. The metering system shall be installed and maintained at the users expense according to amangemenu that may be made with W SACC. (3) Where any user procures all or part of his water supply from sources other than WSACC, the user shall install and maintain at his own expense water meters of a type approved by WSACC for the purposes of determining the proper volume of wastewater dischazged to such sewers. (b) The chazacter and concentration of the constituenu of wastewater used in determining surcharges shall be determined by samples collected and analyzed by WSACC. Samples shall be collected in such manner as to be representative of the actual discharge and shall be analyzed using procedures set forth in 40 CFR Part 136. (c) The determination by the Executive Director or his duly appointed representatives of the character and concentration of the wastewater dischazge shall be binding as a basis for chazges. (d) Any source that dischazges non-domestic wastewater in excess of the levels listed above may be subject to surcharges. (e) The Exewtive D'uector may assess surcharges to users to recover any additional costs incurred by WSACC for the handling and disposal of sludge. 3.4 Pretreatment Pro¢ram Administration Charees The schedule of charges and fees adopted by WSACC may include chazges and fees for. (a) reimbursement of costs of setting up and operating the pretreatrnent program; (b) monitoring, inspections and surveillarice procedures; (c) reviewing slug control plans, includine accidental and/or slue load discharge procedures and construction plans and specifications; 23 G -'-I
