Section 134-6 VARIANCES AND AGREEMENTS


The Town shall have the right to enter into special agreements with users setting forth terms under which the user may discharge into the municipal wastewater system.  In no case will a special agreement waive compliance with a pretreatment standard.  However, the industrial user may request a net gross adjustment to a categorical standard in accordance with 40 CFR Part 403.15. Industrial users may also request a fundamentally different factor variance from the Categorical Pretreatment Standards of the USEPA. Such a request must be either approved or not objected to by the EPA and will be permitted by the Town only if the user can prove that factors relating to its discharge are fundamentally different from the factors considered by the USEPA when establishing its pretreatment standard. An industrial user requesting a fundamentally different factor variance must comply with procedural and substantive provisions set forth in 40 CFR Part 403.13.
