1. Where a categorical pretreatment standard is expressed only in terms of either the
mass or the concentration of a pollutant in wastewater, the Director may impose
equivalent concentration or mass limits in accordance with subsection 62-
625.410(4), F.A.C.
2. When the limits in a categorical Pretreatment Standard are expressed only in
terms of mass of pollutant per unit of production the District may convert the
limits to equivalent limitations expressed either as mass of pollutant dischar ged
per day or effluent concentration for purposes of calculating effluent limitations
applicable to individual Industrial Users.
3. When wastewater subiect to a categorical pretreatment standard is mixed with
wastewater not regulated by the same standard the Director shall impose an
alternate limit using_ the combined wastestream formula in subsection 62-
625.410(6), F.A.C.
4. A user may obtain a variance from a categorical pretreatment standard if the user
can prove pursuant to the procedural and substantive provisions in Rule 62-
625 700 F.A.C., that factors relating to o its discharge are fundamentally different
from the factors considered by EPA when developing the categorical pretreatment
standard.
5. A user may obtain a net rog ss adjustment to a categorical standard in accordance
with Rule 62- 625.820, F.A.C.
Upon promulgation of the National Categorical Pretreatment Standards for a
particular industrial subcategory, the Federal Standard, if more stringent than limitations
imposed under this Ordinance for sources in that subcategory, shall immediately
supersede any limitations imposed under this Ordinance. The District (as a courtesy)
shall try to notify all affected Users of the applicable reporting requirements under 40

COLLIER COUNTY WATER -SEWER DISTRICT
UNIFORM REGULATIONS FOR DIRECT
APPENDIX A — SCHEDULE I
The Industrial Waste Sewer Surcharge is a mechanism to recover costs incurred when
treating high strength wastes discharged by some industrial and commercial users to the
wastewater system. These additional funds are needed to cover the cost of operations and
maintenance at the Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) and laboratory.
A. Rates For Excess Strength Wastewater
1, A customer discharging excess strength wastewater into the County's wastewater
system shall be assessed a laboratory charge based on the cost of collecting and
analyzing samples used to determine the strength and characteristics of the waste.
2. Where automatic sampling equipment is required by the County or requested by
the customer and such equipment is owned and/or maintained by the County, a
monthly sampling charge shall be assessed based on the cost to the County of
operation and maintenance of the equipment plus depreciation. The customer
must be responsible for security of the automatic sampler.
3. A customer discharging excess strength waste into the wastewater system shall be
assessed normal strength wastewater charges in addition to excess strength
charges calculated according to the following formula:
Excess Strength Fee ($) =[Y/X — I] x [Z] x [0.5 x A]
Y = Measured concentration of wastewater constituent.
X = Concentration of constituent in normal strength wastewater.
Z = Thousands of gallons of excess strength wastewater discharged into the County's
wastewater system.
A = Normal strength wastewater rate per thousand gallons.
Excess strength surcharges shall be applicable only to the following conventional
constituents: BOD, COD, Total Suspended Solids and Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen. When COD is
indicative of the excess wastewater strength, it shall be the preferred measurement parameter.
Where the wastewater contains no more than one excess strength constituent, the charge shall be
based on the constituent, which results in the greatest charge.

requested date so I opted for the March 7th. Let me know what date you want it run.
Tuesday has been added to the add.

Good morning everyoneM
I reviewed the ad with Jennifer White. Two things: please add the word TUESDAY before the date of the hearing; also,
the ad request asks that it be advertised on Monday, 3/12, but the ad states 3/7. Can we move it back to 3/12?

mass or the concentration of a pollutant in wastewater, the Director may impose
equivalent concentration or mass limits in accordance with subsection 62-
625.410(4), F.A.C.
2. When the limits in a categorical Pretreatment Standard are expressed only in
terms of mass of pollutant per unit of production the District may convert the
limits to equivalent limitations expressed either as mass of pollutant discharged
per day or effluent concentration for purposes of calculating effluent limitations
gpplicable to individual Industrial Users.
3. When wastewater subject to a categorical _ pretreatment standard is mixed with
wastewater not regulated by the same standard the Director shall impose an
alternate limit using the combined wastestream formula in subsection 62-
625.410(6), F.A.C.

composited in the laboratory or in the field;
ii. Samples for volatile organics and oil and grease may be
composited in the laboratory.
iii. Composite samples for other parameters unaffected by the
compositing procedures as allowed in the FDEP's approved
sampling_ procedures and laboratory methodologies may be
authorized by District, as appropriate. In addition, grab samples
may be required to show compliance with Instantaneous Limits.
b. Samples for oil and grease, temperature, pH, cyanide, phenols, sulfides,
and volatile organic compounds must be obtained using grab collection
techniques.
C. Oil and crease samples shall be collected in accordance with section
2.P. L(a) above unless the sampling location or point cannot be physically
accessed to perform a direct collection of a grab sample. In these
instances, the sample shall be pumped from the sampling location or point
into the sample container using a peristaltic -type pump. All pump tubing
used for sample collection must be new or pre- cleaned and must be
changed between sample containers and sample points. The pump tubing
shall not be pre- rinsed or flushed with sample prior to collecting the
sample. The report of analysis shall indicate that a peristaltic pump was
used to collect the oil and grease sample.
d. For sampling reauired in support of baseline monitoriniz and 90 -da
compliance reports required in Sections 3.A and 3.0 of this Ordinance, a
minimum of four (4) grab samples must be used for pH, cyanide, total
phenols, oil and grease, sulfide and volatile organic compounds for
facilities for which historical sampling data do not exist; for facilities for
which historical sampling data are available, the Director may authorize a
lower minimum. For the reports required by paragraphs 3.1) and 3.H of
this Ordinance, the Industrial User is required to collect the number of

Q. Special Arrangements.
1. Nothing in this Ordinance shall prevent any special agreement or arrangement
between the District and any industrial concern, whereby an industrial waste (or
wastes) of unusual strength and /or character may be accepted by the District for
treatment, when, in the judgment of the District, acceptance of same by the
District will aid in treatment of such waste(s) by that industrial concern.
2. Determination of Acceptability. In forming the opinion as to the acceptability of
the wastes, the District will consider such factors as the quantities of subject
wastes in relation to flows and velocities in the sewers, materials of construction
of the sewers, nature of the sewage treatment plant, degree of treatability of
wastes in the sewage treatment plant, and other relevant factors.

The County and District reserve the right to establish, by Ordinance or in
individual wastewater discharge permits, more stringent limitations or requirements on
discharges to the wastewater disposal system if deemed necessary to comply with the
objectives of this Ordinance.
T. Prohibited Discharge Standards.
A user shall have an affirmative defense to an enforcement action brought aaainst it for
noncompliance with the general prohibitions in Section 2.1) of this Ordinance or the
specific prohibitions in Section 2.E of this Ordinance if it can prove that it did not know,
or have reason to know, that its discharge, alone or in conjunction with discharges from
other sources, would cause pass through or interference and that either:
1. A Local Limit exists for each pollutant discharged and the User was in
compliance with each limit directly prior to, and during, the Pass Through or
Interference; or
2. No Local Limit exists, but the User's discharge did not change substantially in
nature or constituents from the User's prior discharge when POTW was regularly
in compliance with its NPDES permit requirements and was in compliance with
all applicable requirements for domestic wastewater residuals.

UNIFORM REGULATIONS FOR DIRECT
APPENDIX A — SCHEDULE 1
The Industrial Waste Sewer Surcharge is a mechanism to recover costs incurred when
treating high strength wastes discharged by some industrial and commercial users to the
wastewater system. These additional funds are needed to cover the cost of operations and
maintenance at the Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) and laboratory.
A. Rates For Excess Strength Wastewater
1. A customer discharging excess strength wastewater into the County's wastewater
system shall be assessed a laboratory charge based on the cost of collecting and
analyzing samples used to determine the strength and characteristics of the waste.
2. Where automatic sampling equipment is required by the County or requested by
the customer and such equipment is owned and /or maintained by the County, a
monthly sampling charge shall be assessed based on the cost to the County of
operation and maintenance of the equipment plus depreciation. The customer
must be responsible for security of the automatic sampler.
3. A customer discharging excess strength waste into the wastewater system shall be
assessed normal strength wastewater charges in addition to excess strength
charges calculated according to the following formula:
Excess Strength Fee ($) =[Y/X — 1 ] x [Z] x [0.5 x A]
Y = Measured concentration of wastewater constituent.
X = Concentration of constituent in normal strength wastewater.
Z = Thousands of gallons of excess strength wastewater discharged into the County's
wastewater system.
A = Normal strength wastewater rate per thousand gallons.
Excess strength surcharges shall be applicable only to the following conventional
constituents: BOD, COD, Total Suspended Solids and Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen. When COD is
indicative of the excess wastewater strength, it shall be the preferred measurement parameter.
Where the wastewater contains no more than one excess strength constituent, the charge shall be
based on the constituent, which results in the greatest charge.
