A. The city may enter into agreements with users to accept pollutants compatible with the treatment system at concentrations greater than those typical of domestic wastewater. Within such agreements, the city of Monroe may establish terms of the user’s discharge to the POTW including maximum flow rates and concentrations. The city of Monroe may also establish fees to recover costs associated with treating such wastes and monitoring schedules in such agreements. Such fees shall provide for an equitable system of cost recovery adequate to fully recover all identifiable costs. In no case will a special agreement waive compliance with a state or federal pretreatment standard or requirement including categorical standards.

B. Users discharging or intending to discharge pollutants other than BOD and TSS, and claiming compatibility, must prove to the satisfaction of the director that such pollutants are compatible with the POTW. The director may required any claim of compatibility to be endorsed by the Department.

C. Within the limits of the city’s resources, expertise and legal authority, the city may assist, by arrangement or formal agreement, any agencies that regulate hazardous wastes and materials and air emissions from users in order to maximize state, county, and city resources.

D. The city may facilitate compliance by requesting pollution prevention technical assistance for users, especially those in violation of pretreatment standards. The director intends to request such assistance in coordination and cooperation with the appropriate local, county, and state authority(ies). (Ord. 016/2021 § 2; Ord. 011/2004)
