Effective January 1, 1997, The "fixed fees" listed in page VI1-2 of Ordinance 90167 will be
assessed to all Significant Industrial Users:
Permit and Renewal Applications $500
Permit Issuance 1,000
Annual Monitoring Inspection 500
Annual Reporting 500
Total Per Year/Per Significant Industrial User
Pennittee $2,500
In addition to the implementation of the above funding program, certain charges for services
associated with the operation of the program will be attributed to the IU's responsible for the
charges. Costs for these activities am to be evaluated on the actual expense incurred by the City.
These services include the following:
1. Plan Review
2. Inspection Fees
3. Violation Investigation
4. Monitoring/Sa~mp[i_ng/Testing on Demand/Violation Procedures
5. Reviewing Construction
6. Fee for Filing Appeals
7. Hearing Costs
Charges for these services will be billed directly to the Industry requiring them.
In addition to the funding mechanism for the operation of the Pretreatment Enforcement
Program, there is a sumharge assessed on influent waste loads discharged to the POTW in excess
of the plant's influent design concentrations. This service cost is based on two (2) principles:
l. The POTW is designed to treat specific waste concentrations.
2. The additional operational and maintenance costs associated with stronger waste
concentrations should be paid for by the discharger of those wastes.
The current surcharge rates are as follows:
BOD 11 cents per pound of BOD in excess of 244 mg/l
TSS 11 cents per pound of TSS in excess of 233 mg/l
NH3N.51 cents per pound over 20 mg/l
Be advised that in the near future the preceding costs will be raised to the following:

charges for services associated with the operation of the program will be
attributed to the IU~s responsible for the charges. Costs for these activities
are to be evaluated on the .gotual expense incurred by~.the City. These services

PART C - WASTE TREATMENT SURCHARGES
In addition to the funding mechanism for the operation of the Pretreatment
Enforcement Program, there is 'a surcharge assessed on influent waste loads
discharged to the POTW in excess of the plant's influent design concentrations.
This service cost is based on two (2) principles:
The POTW was designed to treat a specific waste concentration and
stronger waste concentrations require additional treatment at
additional cost; and
The additional operation and maintenance costs associated with
stronger waste concentrations that the design concentrations should
be paid for by the discharger of those wastes.
The basis of the wastewater treatment plant design ~las that waste stream
characteristics would match the design parameters. It is reasonable to assume
that if waste stream characteristics are greater than design waste
concentrations, additional operation and maintenance costs will be incurred by
the Control Authority treating the stronger wastewater. TheRefore, influent
waste concentrations limits should be related to the plant's design influent
waste concentrations.

(A) To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the city's wastewater treatment system which will
interfere with the operation of the system or contaminate the resultant sludge;
(B) To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the city's wastewater system which will pass
through the system, inadequately treated into receiving waters or otherwise be incompatible with the
system;
(C) To improve the opportunity to recycle and reclaim wastewaters and sludges from the system;
and
