SECOND SCHEDULE (Regulation 11) CHARGE FOR THE DISPOSAL OF TRADE EFFLUENTS

The formula for working out the charges shall be as follows:

X + Y + Z B + Q S C = V ( W 20 7 ) ( R ) +

Where, C = the charge, in fee units per 1,000 litres for the disposal of trade effluent; V = the volume charge in fee units per 1,000 litres for conveyance, reception and preliminary treatment of average sewage received at the works; X = the COD in milligram per litre of the trade effluent; Y = the concentration in milligram per litre of total toxic metals in the trade effluent; Z = the concentration in milligram per litre of cyanogen compounds (as CN-), which on acidification liberate HCN, in the trade effluent; W = the COD in milligram per litre of settled sewage; B = the cost in fee units per 1,000 litres of biological purification of settled average sewage; Q = the suspended solids in milligram per litre of the trade effluent; R = the suspended solids in milligram per litre of average sewage treated at the works; S = the cost of sludge disposal expressed in ngwee per 1,000 litres of average sewage received at the works.

Explanatory Notes on Formula (i) The cost in fee units per 1,000 litres for V, B and S are to be determined by the Council at the commencement of each financial year and are to be based on the annual costs ascertained for the purpose of the rate levy for sewers and sewage disposal for that year. (ii) The values of X, Y, Z and Q are the means of the results from the analysis of samples taken during the preceding financial year. (iii) The values for W and R are the means from the analysis of hourly samples taken over a series of 24-hour periods during the previous financial year. (iv) The factors of 20 and 7 in relation to Y and Z arise from the limits of toxic materials which may be discharged under the conditions of the consent.

(v) COD means the chemical oxygen demand of a sample of trade effluent measured in accordance with the methods used at the Water Pollution Research Laboratory, Stevenage (WPL Procedure No. 17, February, 1969).
