The surcharge shall be calculated to recover
the POTW's costs to treat these conventional pollutants to the extent
that the concentrations of these conventional pollutants exceed the
levels stated above. The surcharge shall be set from time to time
in accordance with procedures permitted by applicable laws. The Chief
Operator may grant a surcharge waiver to any industrial user which
demonstrates that its exceedances of the surcharge threshold levels
are due to innovative water conservation practices.
