4. Industrial Waste Surcharge Formula for BOD & S.S. Concentration
above 240:
Ci = Vi [Y (BOD-240) + Z (S.S.-240)]
1000
bdhere Ci = Surcharge i n Uo71 ars per P�onth
Vi = Vol . of Wastewater, 1000 gal . per month
� Y = 0.0449 x 8.34 = $0.3745/mg/1
Z = 0.0349 x 8.34 = $0.2911/ng/1
�"' 5. Example: Assume industrial waste discharge of 100,000 gallons per month,
with BOD = 500 mg/1 and S.S. = 300 mg/1 :
Ci = 100 [0.3745 x 260 + 0.2911 x 60]
1000
Ci = 0.1 (97.37 + 17.47)
Ci = �11 .48
