Note: The operations and maintenance cost as determined by the City of La Porte shall be periodically updated and defined by companion ordinances which concurrently establish water and sewer rates. (5)Vol represents Volume Discharged in Thousand Gallons. The volume of wastes may be determined by the same methods used to calculate the regular sewer service charge. For establishments discharging less tYian 20,000 gallons/day, the BOD and suspended solids values may be determined from standard values for various industries established by the Approving Authority. In cases where the discharge from any establishment exceeds 20,000 gallons/day, or in the X11 t Ordinance No. , Page 2. event that the discharger desires to determine accurate values of BOD and suspended solids, the discharger shall install at his expense a sampling point at a location near the outlet of each building drain or connection with any sanitary sewer of the City. BOD and suspended solid values determined from samples collected from any establishment shall be determined by the Approving Authority or a Regis- tered Professional Engineer employed by the discharger. Such report shall contain a statement that the samples collected and values determined are based on a 24-hour composite representative of the establishment's flow. Each sampling point shall be installed and shall be so maintained by the discharger so that any authorized representative of the City may readily and safely obtain samples of the flow • at all times. Plans and location of such sampling points shall be approved by the Approving Authority prior to con- struction. Construction of such sampling points for exist- ing discharges shall be completed by January 1, 1981, if use of data to be considered for rate establishment by June 1, 1981. If a discharger installs a sampling point after this date, adjustment of the rate to actual samples will be made within a 90 day period from the date of in- stallation. All flow rates and BOD acid suspended solid values used in determination of the Industrial Sewer Service Charge shall be re-evaluated on an annual basis. However, if there is a major change in the operation to cause changes in value, the values may be increased or decreased on a study of changes or actual measurements. The basis for determining the surcharge shall be reviewed biannually and shall be adjusted to reflect any increase or decrease in wastewater treatment costs based on the previous year's experience. Section 2. If any section, sentence, phrase, clause, or any part of any section, sentence, phrase, or clause, of this ordinance shall, for any reason, be held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the remaining portions of this Ordinance, and it is hereby declared to be the intention of this City Council to have passed each section, sentence, phrase or clause, or part thereof, irrespective of the fact that any other section, sentence, phrase or clause, or part thereof, may be declared invalid.

At that time Council asked the staff to investigate the matter and return to Council with a recommendation. On March 3, 1982 the staff returned to Council with a recommendation to amend the surcharae formula contained in La Porte's Industrial Waste Ordinance. Knox has incorporated the staff's recommendation into Ordinance #1221-A which amends the surcharge formula contained in La Porte's Industrial Waste Ordinance. The staff recommends that Council approve the new surcharge formula shown in Ordinance #1221-A.

After meeting again with Resource Engineering and further discussions with Jerry Hodge, it is my opinion that the surcharge formula in its present form is not suitable for La Porte's current circumstances and recommend that it be altered to a simpler ratio-type formula. The formula currently in our ordinance is very similar to (and probably based on) a method suggested by the • E.P.A. The E.P.A. model formula and La Porte's current formula are re-written and re-arranged here fora simple comparison.* odel ormula Cs = Vol [Bc (BOD - 250) + Sc (SS - 300)] T t ~ ~ l .a Porte's :urrent • ,urcharge ISS = Vol [0.085 (BOD - 250) + 0.056 (SS - 300)] ormula As you can see each element of the two formulas correlate with the exception of the variables Bc and Sc. The E.P.A. formula defines Bc and Sc as: Bc = Operation & maintenance cost for treatment of a unit of BOD Sc = Operation & maintenance cost for treatment of a unit of TSS _ ~'~ `I ... ~. .. .~. A • .~ ,.~ :..,. ~ ... -. ,,. ,--,.. r , ,: The 0.085 and 0.056 multiplier in the La Porte formula is probably an estimate of these costs fora given set of "typical" conditions. Whatever the original source, the 0.085 and 0.056 multiplier also sho~rs up in ordiances enacted by other municipalities. It is interesting to note that these communities have also amended their ordinances. Further revie~.r of these ordinances also show an inconsistency in units which for the sake of simplicity will not be discussed here. Recommendation The Public Works Department has furnished a projected cost/1000 gal of treating domestic se~;rage. The estimate does not include the separation of costs for BOD and TSS removal. Also, the City has no cost history nor any practical means for separating these costs. Therefore, it is recom- mended that the City adopt a simple ratio-type surcharge formula. A suggested formula and the resulting cost/1000 gal follotiv. Assumptions: Domestic Se~,vage BOD < 250 h1g/1 ~, Domestic Se~rage TSS < 300 Mg/1 Suggested Formula: IS x y Op Vol IS x + y 250 300 ) OP X Vol. 6005 in h1g/1 (x > 250 Mg/1) TSS in Mg/1 (y > 300 Mg/1) Operations (0 & M) cost/1000 gals. Volume in thousands of gals. Industrial Surcharge Rate Example - Using the projected 0 & M costs supplied by Public Works and the estimated strength of se~rage for Atlanta Truck Wash's Operations IS = (2~0 + ~ ) 0.38/1000 gal = .76/1000 gal 0 2 ~ . .. _ ... „r, , _ , ,,-~ .. • .. ,. ...~, ~..

The surcharge rate using the proposed formula is also entered in Table I for Council's review. • 1 See Table I Attached Comparison Assumes - Domestic Strength Sewage BOD < 250 h1g/1 Domestic Strength Setrage TSS < 300 Mg/1 ;? ` • _ • ~J r .' ~ ".
