The new owner shall apply for permit, on a form established by the POTW.

A franchisee must submit a rate filing to justify any increase in basic service or equipment rates or any new basic service or equipment rate (collectively referred to herein as rate increases). An "increase" occurs when there is an increase in rates or a decrease in program or customer services. Rate filings proposing and supporting rate increases must be filed for review at least thirty (30) days in advance of the proposed effective date of the increase. This requirement does not alter or eliminate any other notice requirement. Where there is no applicable FCC form that is to be used to support an equipment charge, the franchisee shall submit sufficient information to demonstrate that the price it proposed to charge recovers only its costs plus a reasonable profit.

B. Every rate filing must be submitted to the municipality. A rate filing shall be considered filed for review on the date received. Three (3) copies of each rate filing (including all supporting materials) must be submitted. If any part of the rate filing contains information that is claimed to be proprietary under applicable FCC rules, the franchisee must file three (3) copies of the filing with the proprietary information removed.

C. Subject to FCC regulations governing the burden of proof, a rate filing submitted by a franchisee must show that the rates proposed for basic service and equipment are reasonable. Except as inconsistent with FCC rules:

1. Every rate filing must clearly state in a cover letter whether it justifies existing rates, or proposes an increase in rates. The cover letter must also identify any rate that is derived in whole or in part based upon cost of service, and identify any pages of the rate filing that contain information that the franchisee claims is proprietary. It must state whether any part of the proposed increase is based on an inflation adjustment or an alleged increase in external costs. The cover letter should also contain a brief narrative description of any proposed changes in rates or in service;

2. The pages of each rate filing must be numbered sequentially;

3. The rate must contain all applicable FCC forms correctly completed; and

4. If different rates are being charged or are to be charged for different customers or classes of customers, the filing must show that the classifications and the differences in the rates charged are reasonable and consistent with federal law. After the initial filing, this showing must be made only at the request of the city.

D. If the franchisee seeks to support a rate based upon a cost of service, the municipality will establish a rate that provides the franchisee an opportunity to recover its reasonable costs, including a reasonable profit. An expense or investment is not presumed reasonable merely because the franchisee has incurred or made it. A franchisee is not entitled to recover monopoly rents in any form.

E. In addition to information the municipality requires the franchisee to provide, unless the municipality grants a waiver of this provision, a franchisee who seeks to justify all or part of its rates based upon its cost of service must submit a complete cost of service analysis that shows all expenses it incurs and all revenues derived from the system, directly or indirectly by the franchisee or any person that constitutes a "cable operator" of the system within the meaning of 47 USC section 522, or as amended. The cost of service must identify the accounting level (as that term is used in the FCC's regulations) at which each expense or revenue identified was aggregated and clearly show how the expense or revenue was allocated. The franchisee may not include costs at an accounting level unless it also includes all revenues from that same level attributable to the system or to a group of systems of which the system is a part. The replacement cost of a comparable system must be identified and supported. The franchisee must identify the name and address of any entity with which it has a contract, other than a programmer, which derives revenues from the system, and must state whether and how the revenues of that entity were included in the cost of service. In addition, the cost of service shall clearly show the derivation of a proposed charge per channel and the application of that charge to yield a basic service rate. It must also show and support the derivation and allocation of any amounts included in the derivation of the rate for:

1. Operation and maintenance expenses;

2. Administrative and general expenses;

3. Programming expenses (identifying retransmission consent costs and copyright fees separately);

4. Costs for required facilities, equipment, or services for public, educational and government use and any institutional network;

5. Franchise fee expenses;

6. Investment in the system and associated depreciation;

7. Other itemized expenses, including federal, state and local taxes; and

8. The proposed return on equity and actual interest expense paid by the franchisee.

F. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a franchisee is not required to submit the cost of service specified in subsection E of this section for equipment rates, and instead initially shall complete, submit and support the costs of equipment using applicable FCC forms. Any cost of service submitted to justify basic service rates must show that the cost of service does not include equipment costs. (Ord. 664, § 2, Art. II(I), 2-3-1994)

A. The city will register, without examination, an applicant who holds a valid Wyoming trades certification before January 1, 1999. Applicant will have to show proof of training for sixteen (16) hours, eight (8) hours of which shall be of code update, within a three (3) year period.

If other wastewaters are mixed with the regulated wastewater prior to pretreatment the user should measure the flows and concentrations necessary to allow use of the combined waste stream formula of 40 CFR section 403.6(e) in order to evaluate compliance with the pretreatment standards. Where alternate concentration of mass limit has been calculated in accordance with 40 CFR section 403.6(e), this adjusted limit along with supporting data shall be submitted to the POTW.

(5) Submit, only with authorization, a baseline monitoring report which utilizes only historical data, so long as the data provides information sufficient to determine the need for industrial pretreatment measures.

(6) Provide for each report the time, date, and place, of sampling and methods of analysis and certification that such sampling and analysis is representative of normal work cycles and expected pollutant discharges to the POTW.

f. The industrial user shall provide a statement, reviewed by an authorized representative of the industrial user and certified to be a qualified professional, indicating whether national categorical pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent basis and, if not, whether additional operations and maintenance (O&M) measures or additional pretreatment is required for the industrial user to meet the national categorical pretreatment standards.

g. If additional pretreatment or O&M will be required to meet national categorical pretreatment standards, the industrial user will provide the shortest possible schedule which will provide such additional pretreatment or O&M. The completion date in this schedule shall not be later than the compliance date established for the applicable national categorical pretreatment standards.

(1) Where the industrial user's national categorical pretreatment standards have been modified by a removal allowance (40 CFR 403.7) or the combined waste stream formula (40 CFR 403.6(e)), or net/gross calculations (40 CFR 403.15), at the time the industrial user submits a baseline monitoring report the information required in subsection A4f of this section and this subsection A4g shall pertain to the modified limits.

(2) If the national categorical pretreatment standard for the industrial user is modified after the baseline monitoring report is submitted, the industrial user shall make any necessary amendments to information provided as a response to subsection A4f of this section and this subsection A4g, and submit them to the POTW within sixty (60) days after the modified limit is approved.

h. All baseline monitoring reports must be signed and certified in accordance with subsection 7-3A-23C of this article.

i. The following conditions shall apply to any schedule submitted in response to subsection A4g of this section:

(1) The schedule shall contain increments of progress in the form of dates for the commencement and completion of major events leading to the construction and operation of additional pretreatment required for the user to meet applicable national categorical pretreatment standards (e.g., hiring an engineer, completing preliminary plans, completing final plans, executing contract for major components, commencing construction, completing construction, etc.).

(2) No increment referred to in subsection A4i(1) of this section shall exceed nine (9) months.

(3) Not later than fourteen (14) days following each date in the schedule and the final date for compliance, the user shall submit a progress report to the POTW including, at a minimum, whether or not it complied with the increment of progress to be met on such date and, if not, the date on which it expects to comply with this increment of progress, the reason for the delay, and the steps being taken by the industrial user to return the construction to the schedule established. In no event shall more than nine (9) months elapse between such reports to the POTW.

j. Such other information as may be necessary, may be reasonably requested by the POTW.

B. Compliance Data Report: Within ninety (90) days following the date for final compliance with applicable pretreatment standards or, in the case of a new source, following commencement of the introduction of wastewater into the POTW, any user subject to pretreatment standards and requirements shall submit to the POTW a report indicating new production, flow and pollutant data and the nature and concentration of all pollutants in the discharge from the regulated process which are limited by pretreatment standards and requirements, and the average and maximum daily flow for these process units in the user's facility which are limited by such pretreatment standards. Also SIUs subject to production based standards shall submit production data and IUs subject to equivalent limits shall submit long term production rate data. The report shall state whether the applicable pretreatment standards are being met on a consistent basis and, if not, what additional user O&M or pretreatment techniques or installations are necessary to bring the user into compliance with the applicable pretreatment standards and requirements. This report shall be signed and certified in accordance with subsection 7-3A-23C of this article.

C. Periodic Compliance Reports:

1. Any user subject to national categorical pretreatment standard after the compliance date of such pretreatment standard, or in the case of a new source after commencement of the discharge into the POTW shall submit to the POTW once every six (6) months by July 31 and January 31 for the previous six (6) month period, unless required more frequently in the pretreatment standards or by the superintendent or by permit, a periodic compliance report indicating the nature and concentration, of pollutants in the effluent which are limited by such standards or by permit. In addition, results of additional monitoring beyond the minimum required shall be included in this report. This periodic compliance report shall include a record of daily flows which during the reporting period exceeded the average daily flow and maximum daily flows reported in the baseline monitoring report. At the discretion of the superintendent or the pretreatment coordinator, and in consideration of such factors as local high or low flow rates, holiday, budget cycles, etc., the months the periodic compliance reports are due may be altered.

2. In such cases where the POTW has imposed mass limitations, the periodic compliance report shall indicate the mass of pollutants regulated by pretreatment standards in the discharge from the industrial user.

3. For industrial users subject to equivalent mass or concentration limits established by the POTW in accordance with 40 CFR 403.6(c), the periodic compliance report shall contain a reasonable measure of the user's long term production rate. For all other industrial users subject to national categorical pretreatment standards expressed only in terms of allowable pollutant discharge per unit production (or other measure of operation), the periodic compliance report shall include the industrial user's actual average production rate for the reporting period.

4. The POTW shall require appropriate reporting from those industrial users with discharges that are not subject to national categorical pretreatment standards. These significant noncategorical industrial users shall submit to the POTW every six (6) months, on dates specified by the POTW a periodic compliance report. The report shall contain a description of the nature, concentration, and flow of pollutants required to be reported by the control authority. These reports shall be based on sampling and analysis performed during the period covering the report, and performed in accordance with the techniques specified in 40 CFR part 136.

5. All periodic compliance reports must be signed and certified in accordance with subsection 7-3A-23C of this article.

Any notification under this provision needs to be submitted only once for each hazardous waste discharge. Modifications or changed discharge notifications must still be submitted under subsection 7-3A-18B4 of this article.

5. IUs are exempt from the hazardous waste notification requirement during a calendar month in which they discharge fifteen kilograms (15 kg) or less of nonacute hazardous wastes. Discharge of any quantity of acute hazardous waste as specified in 40 CFR 261.30(d) and 261.33(e) requires a one time notification.

6. In the case of any new regulations under section 3001 of RCRA identifying additional characteristics of hazardous waste or listing any additional substance as a hazardous waste, the user must notify the POTW, the EPA regional waste management division director, and state hazardous waste authorities of the discharge of such substance within ninety (90) days of the effective date of such regulations.

7. In the case of any notification made under this section, the user shall certify that it has a program in place to reduce the volume and toxicity of hazardous wastes generated to the degree it has determined to be economically practical.

8. This provision does not create a right to discharge any substance not otherwise permitted to be discharged by this article, a permit issued thereunder, or any applicable federal or state law.

E. Notice Of Changed Discharge: All industrial users shall promptly notify the POTW in advance of any substantial change in the volume or character of pollutants in their discharge, including the listed or characteristic hazardous wastes for which the industrial user has submitted initial notification under 40 CFR 403.12(p) or subsection D of this section.

A. Grease Interceptor Installation Requirement Criteria: Grease interceptors are required for all facilities used and operated regularly for the commercial preparation of foods. Businesses requiring grease interceptors include, but are not limited to, restaurants, cafes, fast food outlets, pizza outlets, delicatessens, sandwich shops, and any other kinds and types of food vending establishments in which any food preparation (including heating or defrosting in or by means of any kind of oven or heating device) takes place on the premises, whether or not such facilities are located in a separate building or structure or occupied by other businesses, as well as schools, churches, boarding houses with communal kitchen facilities, nursing homes, and daycare centers which have kitchens and engage in the preparation of food.

If there is more than one building in the facility in which food preparation takes place, each building shall have its own grease interceptor sized as outlined in the minimum requirements or all buildings may discharge to a single grease interceptor that has been sized to the criteria for each individual kitchen.

The exception shall be those facilities granted a variance, after review and approval from the superintendent of the POTW. Grease interceptors shall not be required for private residences or dwellings.

B. Grease Interceptor Design Criteria: Each business establishment, for which a grease interceptor is required, shall have a dedicated service and grease interceptor. The design of the grease interceptor shall be in accordance with the minimum requirements enacted by the village of Fox Lake as indicated below, and shall have a minimum of two (2) compartments with fittings designed for grease retention.

Minimum Requirements

1. Installation of an outside grease interceptor with a minimum liquid holding capacity of one thousand (1,000) gallons. (Sandwich bars and carryout services, which only prepare noncooked foods such as cold sandwiches, shall install a minimum 400 gallon grease interceptor unless the superintendent of the POTW grants a variance.)

2. Installation of a four foot (4') diameter inspection/sampling manhole downstream of grease interceptor.

3. All miscellaneous sinks, slop sinks, floor drains, water wash hoods, etc., located in the kitchen area shall be plumbed to connect into the new grease interceptor.

4. Prohibited discharge to the grease interceptor includes:

a. All washroom facilities.

b. Food waste grinders.

c. Dishwashing machines.

There shall be an adequate number of manholes to provide access for the cleaning of all areas of an interceptor; a minimum of one per interceptor section, and one sampling manhole directly downstream of the interceptor and prior to the effluent entering the sewer main. Manhole covers shall be gastight in construction and have a minimum opening dimension of twenty four inches (24").

One complete set of plans shall be submitted to the village of Fox Lake building department, these plans at a minimum shall include mechanical and plumbing sections. Additionally, the plans shall include size, type and location of each interceptor proposed.

The village of Fox Lake building commissioner shall approve these plans including size, type and location of the interceptor prior to any construction at the proposed site.

C. Grease Interceptor's Location: Each grease interceptor shall be installed and connected such that it is easily accessible at all times for inspection, cleaning, and the removal of intercepted grease. The grease interceptor(s) shall be located as close to the source as practical, however it must be outside the facility served whenever possible. The village of Fox Lake building commissioner prior to any construction on the proposed site shall approve the location of any grease interceptor.

D. Inspection Of Grease Interceptors: The village of Fox Lake industrial pretreatment department shall inspect all grease interceptors within the village of Fox Lake and develop a mechanism to inventory all grease interceptors of properties connected to the collection system, and document the inspections of these grease interceptors. Once all the grease interceptors in the service area are identified, the grease interceptors shall be classified into two (2) categories:

1. Problem Or Significant Grease Interceptors: The facilities connected to these grease interceptors contribute significant amounts of animal/vegetable fats, oil, grease and/or admissible wastes to the collection system or facilities which have been defined as a chronic problem facility. These grease interceptors shall be inspected and documented at a frequency of once every six (6) months or as deemed necessary.

2. Nonsignificant Grease Interceptor: The facilities connected to these grease interceptors do not contribute significant amounts of animal/vegetable fats, oil, grease and/or admissible wastes to the collection system. These grease interceptors shall be inspected and documented at a frequency of once every twelve (12) months or as deemed necessary.

E. Grease Interceptor Maintenance And Pumping Schedules:

1. It shall be the responsibility of the owner to assure that proper maintenance and pumping/cleaning of the grease interceptor is properly performed and documented. All grease interceptors shall be maintained in efficient operating condition. When pumping/cleaning of the grease interceptor is performed the entire contents of the grease interceptor shall be removed, which includes the removal of all accumulated grease, solids and liquid. The pumping/cleaning of the grease interceptor shall be performed in accordance with the schedule listed below and shall be performed in a manner that does not discharge grease into the collection system. At no time may any portion of the contents removed from the grease interceptor be discharged back into the grease interceptor or the sanitary sewer system. The owner/lessee shall conduct, on a monthly basis, an inspection of each interceptor. At no time may the accumulated grease and/or solids exceed twenty five percent (25%) of the holding capacity of the grease interceptor. These inspections and cleanings must be documented and the records kept on site for a minimum of two (2) years. Records to be kept on site shall include a maintenance log showing each date of pumping or service and copies of receipts and manifests describing each pumping or service. All records shall be made available to the pretreatment inspector (upon request). All grease and/or solids removed from the grease interceptor must be properly documented and disposed of by a licensed waste hauler.

2. All existing business/industrial users connected to grease interceptors prior to the implementation of this fats, oil and grease discharge policy are required to pump and clean their interceptor(s) at a minimum frequency of once every thirty (30) days. Inspections and samplings of grease interceptor(s) by the village of Fox Lake pretreatment department shall determine if this pumping/cleaning frequency is adequate to control the amounts of fats, oils, grease and/or admissible wastes entering the collection system or if the pumping/cleaning frequency needs to be adjusted. The village of Fox Lake pretreatment department has the right to increase the pumping and cleaning frequency as deemed necessary. All requests to reduce the pumping/cleaning frequency must be submitted to the village of Fox Lake pretreatment department, in letter form. The address is:

Village of Fox Lake NWRWRF
Pretreatment Department
200 Industrial Avenue
Fox Lake, IL 60020

The village of Fox Lake pretreatment department must approve any changes to this frequency in writing prior to any change being made. In addition, the village of Fox Lake pretreatment department may require the business/industrial user to implement best management practices in order to reduce its discharge to acceptable levels.

3. All new, remodeled and/or chronic problem facilities required to connect to a grease interceptor(s) in accordance with the provision of this policy are required to pump and clean their interceptor(s) once every sixty (60) days (or every other month). Inspections and samplings of grease interceptor(s) by the village of Fox Lake pretreatment department shall determine if this pumping/cleaning frequency is adequate to control the amounts of fats, oils, grease and admissible wastes entering the collection system or if the pumping/cleaning frequency needs to be adjusted. The village of Fox Lake pretreatment department has the right to increase the pumping and cleaning frequency as deemed necessary. All requests to reduce the pumping/cleaning frequency must be submitted to the village of Fox Lake pretreatment department, in letter form. The address is:

Village of Fox Lake NWRWRF
Pretreatment Department
200 Industrial Avenue
Fox Lake, IL 60020

The village of Fox Lake pretreatment department must approve any changes to this frequency in writing prior to any changes being made.

4. If deficiencies are found during an inspection performed by the village of Fox Lake, the owner shall have three (3) weeks to bring the facility into compliance. If the grease interceptor fails a second (consecutive) inspection, the village of Fox Lake shall require the owner to contract with a qualified contractor to install new or additional equipment to bring the facility into compliance. This work shall be completed within six (6) months of the date the village requires such contract to be made. The cost of all work required to bring the facility into compliance shall be the burden of the owner.

F. Biological Treatment: Biological treatment shall not be a substitute for the complete pumping of the grease interceptor at the frequency described in this policy.

G. Existing Sources Not Connected To Grease Interceptors: Existing sources of fats, oil, grease and/or admissible wastes not connected to grease interceptors, which contribute significant amounts of fats, oil, grease and/or admissible wastes will be identified through inspection of the collection system by the village of Fox Lake sewer department. Once these sources are identified, the sewer department shall notify the pretreatment department of their presence. The pretreatment department shall in writing require these facilities to implement best management practices (BMPs) to keep fats, oil, grease and excessive amounts of admissible waste out of the wastewater collection system. All BMPs must be submitted to the pretreatment department for review and approval. Examples of a BMP include:

1. Scrape food from plates into garbage cans.

2. Prewash plates by spraying them off with cold water over a small mesh catch basin positioned over a drain. This catch basin should be cleaned into a garbage can as needed.

3. Pour all liquid oil and grease from pots and pans into a waste grease bucket stored at the pot washing sink. Heavy solids buildup of oil and grease on pots and pans should be scraped off into waste grease bucket.

4. Other kitchen practices identified by the village of Fox Lake or the facility, connector communities or sanitation district and/or facility which will decrease the point source discharge of fats, oil, grease and/or admissible wastes.

If the sewer department finds through inspections of the collection system that the implemented BMPs are not successful at the facility and the facility continues to contribute significant amounts of fats, oil, grease and/or admissible wastes to the collection system, the owner will be required to install an adequately sized grease interceptor as outlined in this policy within six (6) months after being notified.

H. Request For Variance: If a facility that is required to install a grease interceptor finds and documents by a licensed plumber that the facility cannot meet the minimum requirements for a grease interceptor, that facility may submit in writing a variance request. This request must explain the situation, which makes the minimum requirement unachievable, along with an alternative plan for FOG and/or admissible waste reduction. This request must be submitted to the village of Fox Lake pretreatment department within thirty (30) days of the order to install a grease interceptor.

If a facility believes that the pumping/cleaning schedule should be decreased the facility must submit in writing a variance request. This request must include a statement from the grease removal company that the facility has pump/clean their interceptor. The request must also state the frequency the facility feels would be adequate.

No changes to any portion of the FOG policy can be changed until the facility receives from the POTW a written letter either accepting, accepting with conditions or denying the variance request. The facility must abide by the terms the POTW specifies.

I. Penalties And Fees: The penalties, fines and/or fees associated with noncompliance with this fats, oil and grease discharge policy or portions of the pretreatment ordinance shall be as follows:
