High Strength Discharge Sampling Sample Clauses

High Strength Discharge Sampling. When the City or Participant is notified or suspects that there is a HSD in the system, the City shall measure the flow quantities and concentration of BOD and TSS from such discharger. Since the sampling methodology and frequency may vary between businesses and types of businesses, the Parties involved will jointly agree upon a sampling plan for discharge analysis. In the event that an agreement cannot be reached, the City and Participant will jointly hire an outside firm to develop a sampling plan for the HSD in question. Following an initial wastewater characterization and load calculation, the City will be responsible for conducting ongoing measurement of the HSDs wastewater to verify the waste concentrations and loading and will perform routine sampling and analysis methodology and frequency in accordance with the agreed upon sampling plan. Results of the HSD testing will determine the ECU count for the HSD. Costs associated with measurement, sampling and analysis are considered direct costs. Restaurants shall not be classified as HSDs with regard to Section 5.6 of this Agreement.
