Article VI: Industrial Cost Recovery Charges for Construction of Facilities
Chapter 226 : Sewers and Sewage Disposal Part 3 Service by Joint Meeting Article VI Industrial Cost Recovery Charges for Construction of Facilities
The recovery from industrial users of the treatment works of the federal grant portion of the cost of construction of the treatment works allocable to the treatment of waste contributed by such users, as defined in the federal statutes and regulations. The portion allocable to each user shall be payable in equal annual installments in the sum of 1/30 of said portion for a period of 30 years, after which said payments shall cease and come to an end.
The purpose of this article is to impose an industrial cost recovery charge, as defined in § 226-78, on all industrial users of the Joint Meeting system and to provide for the collection of said charges.
An annual minimum industrial cost recovery charge shall be assessed against all industrial waste contributors discharging industrial wastes into the system in the sum of $100, unless said industrial waste contributor is subject to a greater charge under the terms of this article.
The annual industrial cost recovery charge shall be a fixed cost per million gallons of flow, a fixed cost per pound for suspended solids and/or a fixed cost per pound of biochemical oxygen demand, as shown following:
$240 per 1,000,000 gallons
$85 per pound of BOD
$75 per pound of SS
The Joint Meeting may monitor and sample an industry or industries without prior warning for the purpose of determining the contributions of flow, biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids so that it may compute any industry's share of the industrial cost recovery charge.
Industries whose sole flow consists of the discharge from sanitary conveniences are exempt from industrial cost recovery charges upon satisfactorily demonstrating to the Joint Meeting that they qualify as a nonprocess dry industry.
Appeal from the industrial cost recovery charge involving the reasonableness of the allocations and cost recovery assessments shall be made in writing by an industry affected, by notice to the Executive Director of the Joint Meeting, by sending said notice by certified mail, return receipt requested. The Joint Meeting shall give said industry notice of a hearing on said appeal at least 10 days before the date thereof. The Joint Meeting shall determine said appeal within 90 days after the date of said hearing. Notice of said determination shall be forwarded to said industry by certified mail, return receipt requested.
In the event that the sewage collection system or the treatment works of the Joint Meeting are expanded in the future, the respective industrial user's share for such expansion shall be subject to a cost recovery charge for the cost of said expansion, to be calculated both as herein provided and as provided in the Water Pollution Act of 1972. The total industrial cost recovery charge shall thereupon be adjusted for each industrial user.
All industrial cost recovery charges shall become due and payable on the first day of February, May, August and November of each year on a quarter-annual basis and shall be paid to the City of East Orange. The annual charge to each industrial user shall be determined by the Joint Meeting. Said City of East Orange shall remit said sums collected to the Joint Meeting within 30 days after they become due and payable.
Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, it is the intention of this article that any reference to treatment works, treatment system or treatment plant shall be construed to refer to a public sewage treatment plant and shall mean any structure or structures by means of which domestic or industrial wastes are subjected to any artificial process in order to remove or so alter constituents as to render the wastes less offensive or dangerous to the public health, comfort or property of any of the inhabitants of this state before the discharge of the plant effluent into any waters of this state.
Require that any person, corporation or municipality desiring to make any sewage connection or to discharge or continue to discharge sewage which includes or consists of industrial wastes into such public sewage treatment plant make application therefor in writing on forms provided by said Joint Meeting.
Make or cause to be made inspection of the discharging facilities of any person, corporation or municipality who may be discharging sewage or permitting sewage to be discharged into sewerage systems under the jurisdiction of the Joint Meeting.
This article is intended to apply solely to industrial users for all industrial waste contributed by them to the Joint Meeting collection and treatment system.
