I
WHEREAS, the Utilities Commission of the City of f
i
Batesville, Arkansas is charged with the responsibility of
" operating and maintaining the Batesville Wastewater System in
it
i accordance with all applicable local, state and federal laws;
i' and,
l
i WHEREAS, the City of Batesville, through the Utilities!
i' Commission, is the recipient of a grant of funds from the United
I
States of America (Environmental Pollution Agency Project No.
C-05-0332-03) to finance in part the Batesville wastewater pump-
ing and treatment facility; and,
WHEREAS, a precondition for the payment of funds
ii
awarded under the above-mentioned grant is the establishment of
I;
municipal legislation to implement Public Law 92-500 and the
+, regulations promulgated thereunder, including 40 C.F.R. 35.901
j et seq; and to establish a system of surcharge for discharge of
effluent of extraordinary strength into the wastewater system;
i
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of
the City of Batesville, Arkansas:
I
1. All persons, corporations, or firms d=ischarging
wastewater into the Batesville sewer, system who meet either of i
the following qualifications: I
(a) Which discharge wastewaters into the
system for a time in excess of 15 continuous
minutes per day, which wastewaters have a
concentration equal to or greater than four
times the average B.O.D. (270 milligrams/
ji liter) or equal_ to or greater than four
times the average suspended solids (270
I; milligrams/liter)
I
i'
i
I
s'
i
(b) Which discharge wastewaters into
I
the system having an average concentration
in excess of 270 B.O.D. or 270 S.S.;
�i
shall pay, in addition to the ordinary user charge imposed by
i!! Batesville Ordinance No. 892 of 1978 as amended, a surcharge
which shall be computed as follows:
Monthly surcharge = A x 8.34 [B (SS -270)
+ C (BOD - 270)] Where:
A = millions of gallons of wastewater
discharged per month.
S.S. = suspended solids content
i'
II expressed in milligrams /liter.
,i
B.O.D. = biochemical oxygen demand
i
�! expressed in milligrams/liter.
B = cost per pound for treatment of
suspended soli -ds.
u
ii C = cost per pound for treatment of
i
concentrations having B.O.D.
2. That from the date of passage of this ordinance
i, to November 1, 1981, the average cost per pound for treatment
I of suspended solids (i.e. "B" in the above formula) shall be
i' $0.02 per pound; and the average cost per pound for treatment
of concentrations having biochemical oxygen demand (i.e. "C" in
the above formula) shall be $0.11 per pound. On and after
November 1, 1981, and annually thereafter, the values for factors)
B and C shall be determined as follows:
i
B = Suspended Solids = 1.0% (total 0 & M costs)_
Cost Per Pound total pounds of S.S. treated in preceding
FY
C = B.O.D. Cost = 60% (total 0 & M costs)
Per Pound total pounds of B.O.D. in preceding FY
3. Each user falling into the category set out in
paragraph 1 above shall provide to and maintain for the use of
the Batesville Utilities Commission or its designee a suitable
accessible inspection chamber or manhole on the user's premises
- 2 -
near the connection of the user's facility with the city's sewer.
The Utilities Commission or its agents, employees or designees
shall be allowed access to the user's premises as necessary for
inspection, observation, measurement, sampling or testing of
wastewater discharged by the user into the system. The Utilities
Commission or its designee shall be allowed to inspect the
records of any industrial user where an effluent source or pre-
treatment system is located as may be reasonably necessary to
determine the strength and concentration of pollutants discharged
into the city's wastewater system.
4. Sampling of the effluent of waste discharges may
be accomplished manually or by use of mechanical equipment to
obtain a composite sample which would be representative of the
total effluent. Samples shall be taken at minimum at six month
intervals to establish the BOD and suspended solids of the
individual waste for billing purposes, or at such intervals as
determined by the Utilities Commission to be necessary to maintai
control over the discharges from the user. The method used in
the examination of all industrial wastes to determine BOD and
suspended solids and prohibited wastes shall be that set forth
i in "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater"
as approved and published jointly by the American Public Health
Association, the American Wastewater Association, and the Water
Pollution Control Federation.
5. Section 1 of Ordinance 905 of 1979 is hereby amended
by striking the words "up to 350 milligrams/liter of suspended
solids or 350 milligrams/liter of B.O.D." following the phrase
"concentrations of wastes discharged to the sewer system in
excess of that named in Article V o4(i)(3) and 4(i)(4) above"
6. There is an immediate and urgent need for the
prompt passage of this ordinance for the proper administration
of municipal affairs, in completing a sewer improvement project
funded in part by the United States of America; therefore, an
— 3 —
emergency exists, and this ordinance being necessary for the
i
j protection of the public health, safety and welfare, shall take
effect and be enforced from and after its passage, approval
and publication.
7. All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict
herewith are hereby repealed.
