methodology for receiving septage and holding tank wastes at the WWTF
from haulers who have failed to pay invoices:

30 days of issuance. Haulers will be suspended from hauling waste
to the WWTF for one month.

Tier 2 waste hauler: includes haulers who fail to pay invoices a
second time. The hauler will be suspended from hauling waste to the
WWTF for two months and will lose all seniority.

third time. The hauler will be banned from hauling waste to the WWTF
indefinitely.
(k)
Refusal
of hauled waste. If the WWTF has to cut back on hauled waste received,
the lowest-seniority haulers (haulers with shortest time discharging
to the WWTF) will be the first haulers banned from discharging waste
to the WWTF. If a further cutback in hauled waste is still necessary,
the next-lowest-seniority haulers will be banned from discharging.
(l)
Accepting
additional hauled waste. If the WWTF can increase the daily volume
of hauled waste, the WWTF will have discretion to accept a Tier 2
hauler or an entirely new hauler.
