* PVSC has determined that the rate to be charged for the acceptance of these wastewaters by Contract shall be fixed at $0.0015 per gallon for all such wastewaters containing Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) concentrations above 500 mg/l, and $0.003 per gallon for all such wastewaters containing BOD concentrations below 500 mg/l.

¹ Dilute Wastewater means wastewaters generated from other than on going industrial operations, such as ground water, construction water, non-contact cooling water, leachate, etc.

² Gray Water means non-hazardous industrial wastes having a BOD and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) concentration each less than 500 mg/l.
