    4. Treatment Fees
      Treatment Fees* shall apply for discharges of dilute wastewaters1 and gray waters2 (both defined below).... Acceptance of said wastewaters is as a last resort, where discharge to local surface waters or re-injection to groundwater is impractical. Acceptance must be by Contract between the discharger and PVSC, with specific terms, conditions, and limitations (set forth in a Letter of Authorization and/or Sewer Use Permit) as are necessary to properly protect the PVSC treatment works.

* PVSC has determined that the rate to be charged for the acceptance of these wastewaters by Contract shall be fixed at $0.0015 per gallon for all such wastewaters containing Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) concentrations above 500 mg/l, and $0.003 per gallon for all such wastewaters containing BOD concentrations below 500 mg/l.

1 Dilute Wastewater means wastewaters generated from other than on going industrial operations, such as ground water, construction water, non-contact cooling water, leachate, etc.


2
Gray Water means for purposes of hauled wastewater to PVSC, non-hazardous industrial or site clean-up wastewaters. These non-hazardous wastewaters do not meet the definition of “Sludge” contained in the PVSC Rules & Regulations.
