(b) The Manaaer9av at anv time collect a 0-hour composite sample
from any industrial or commercial discharges and conduct
analyses to determine the concentrations of BOD, TSS and Oil
and Grease (O &G). If the sampling and analysis performed by
the Manager or his designated assistant indicates concen-
trations of BOD, TSS and O &G exceeding the limits stated
below, he shall compute a surcharge as set by the sewer user
charge rate ordinance, and the owner shall be liable for pay-
ment of the amount thereof. The collection of a surcharge is
not a penalty, but rather allows the Utility to defray the
costs of treating industrial wastewater concentrations that
are above average domestic wastewater concentrations. The
surcharge shall be considered a sewer charge for which the
owner shall be liable in accordance with the provisions of
Ark. Stat. Ann. #19 -4113 (Repl. 1980), as amended and upon
default in such payment the Wastewater Utility shall be
entitled to those remedies set forth in said statute.
1)

The surcharge shall be computed by using the
following formula:
SURCHARGE _ [(BODX - 300 mg /L) x 8.34 x V x A]
• [(TSSX - 300 mg /L) x 8.34 x V x B]
• [(0 &GX - 100 mg /L) x 8.34 x V x C]

(c) If as a result of the sampling and analysis authorized by
Section 7b, or due to the existence of any other
information, the Manager may have sufficient reason to suspect
the presence of toxic or prohibited substances as limited or
prohibitive by this ordinance to exist in the wastewater
discharge of a facility, he may direct the owner or operator
to have a representative sample of that facility's wastewater
subjected to the appropriate physical, chemical and biological
tests performed by a qualified testing laboratory acceptable
to the Manager. The purpose of such tests shall be to
determine the conformance of the wastewater characteristics to
this ordinance. A prompt report shall be made in writing to
the Manager by the laboratory stating the results of the
tests. The costs associated with the sampling and testing
required by this section shall be borne by the owner or
operator.
(d) Any sampling, testing, and /or sample delivery associated
with duplicate sample analysis in excess of the regularly
14
z
scheduled slopling and analysis perfoAd by the Utility that
is requested by an industrial customer for the purpose of
assessing a surcharge or enforcement of this ordinance will be
borne by the owner or operator of the facility. The owner or
operator of the facility which has a duplicate analysis
performed by an independent lab will submit a prompt report in
writing from the laboratory giving the results of - -the
analyses and all quality assurance information relative to
the analysis.
Section 8. All sampling, measurements, tests and analysis of the
characteristics of waters and waste to which reference is made in this
Ordinance shall be determined in accordance with the latest revision of
40CFR136 (Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of
Pollutants Under the Clean Water Act) except where otherwise provided
for or where there are no guidelines listed in 40CFR136, in accordance
with the latest edition of "Standard Methods for the Examination of
Water and Wastewater" published by the American Public Health
Association. Alternate testing procedures other than those listed in
40CFR136 may be used provided that the Utility has submitted and
received approval for the alternate testing from the EPA as outlined in
40CFR136. All samples shall be collected at the control manhole or
secure sample point. In the event that no special manhole or secure
sampling point has been required, the control manhole shall be
considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in the public sewer to
the point at which the building sewer is connected. Sampling shall be
carried out by customarily accepted methods to reflect the effect of
constituents upon the sewage works and to determine the existence of
hazards to life, health, and property.
All independent laboratories performing analyses for industrial
dischargers, including but not limited to self monitoring reports,
Periodic Reports on Continuing Compliance, Baseline Monitoring Reports
and /or split sample verification, shall be certified by the Arkansas
Department of Pollution Control and Ecology Laboratory Certification
Program and /or any other approved State Certification Program for the
specific analysis being performed. The Utility reserves the right to
reject any analysis performed by an independent laboratory that is not
duly certified for a particular analysis. Industrial dischargers will
have one (1) year from the effective date of this ordinance to acquire
the services of a laboratory certified by the authority listed above.
Section 9. Any discharger which experiences an upset in
operations (which places the discharger in a temporary state of
noncompliance with this Ordinance) shall inform the Manager of the
Little Rock Wastewater Utility thereof within twenty -four (24) hours of
any agent or employee of the discharger becoming aware of the upset or
the commencement of the upset. Where such information is given orally,
a written follow -up report thereof shall be filed by the discharger
with the Manager of the Little Rock Wastewater Utility within five (5)
days. The report shall specify:
(a) Description of the upset, the cause thereof and the upset's
impact on a Discharger's compliance status.
(b) Duration and extent of noncompliance, including exact
dates, quantities and qualities, and date and time of
15
401
noncompliant, and if the noncompliancocontinues, the time by 402
which compliance is reasonably expected to occur.
(c) All steps taken or to be taken to reduce, eliminate and
prevent recurrence of such an upset or other condition or
noncompliance.
A documented and verified bona fide operating upset shall be an
affirmative defense to any enforcement action brought by the Little
Rock Wastewater Utility against a Discharger for any noncompliance with
this Ordinance which arises out of violations alleged to have occurred
during the period of the upset.
Section 10. Each discharger shall provide protection from
accidental or willful discharge of prohibited materials or other
substances regulated by this Ordinance. Facilities to prevent
accidental or willful discharge of prohibited materials shall be
provided and maintained at the owner or owner's own cost and expense.
Detailed plans showing facilities and operating procedures to provide
this protection for new facilities shall be submitted to the Manager
for review, and shall be approved by the Manager before construction of
the facility. All existing dischargers shall complete such a plan
within eighteen (18) months of the effective date of this ordinance.
No discharger who begins discharging after the effective date of this
ordinance shall be permitted to introduce pollutants into the system
until accidental or willful discharge procedures have been approved by
the Manager. Review and approval of such plans and operating
procedures shall not relieve the discharger from the responsibility to
modify the discharger's facility as necessary to meet the requirements
of this ordinance. In the case of an accidental or willful discharge,
it is the responsibility of the discharger to immediately telephone and
notify the POTW of the incident. The notification shall include
location of discharge, type of waste, concentration and volume, and
corrective actions.
Written Notice. Within five (5) days following an accidental or
willful discharge of prohibited materials or other substances regulated
by this Ordinance, the discharger shall submit to the Manager a
detailed written report describing the cause of the discharge and the
measures to be taken by the discharger to prevent future occurrences.
Notice to Employees. A notice shall be permanently posted on the
discharger's bulletin board or other prominent place advising employees
whom to call in the event of a accidental or willful discharge of
prohibited materials other substances regulated by this Ordinance.
Employers shall ensure that all employees who may cause or allow such
an accidental or willful discharge of prohibited materials or other _
substances regulated by this Ordinance to occur are advised of the
emergency notification procedure.
Section 11. No discharger shall increase the use of potable or
process water in any way for the purpose of diluting a discharge as a
partial or complete substitute for adequate treatment to achieve
compliance with the standards set forth in this ordinance.
