Company shall perform analysis of each source of wastewater to identify characteristic pollutants known or reasonably expected to be present in the wastewater. Company shall also treat said wastewater for such pollutants if necessary to achieve the levels described herein prior to delivery to the City or discharge into the sanitary sewer. II. COVENANTS 1. The City agrees to receive the discharge of wastewater from the above referenced facility operated by Company, if such discharge is made in compliance with this agreement. 2. Company agrees to dispose of its wastewater only at the designated location(s) within the Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility (VCWRF) collection system.

City reserves the right to refuse such request if, in the sole opinion of the City such requested increase will adversely affect the City's treatment plant or collection system or violate a state or federal law, regulation or requirement. 5. Company, agrees to discontinue discharges if the sewer lines receiving the discharge are found at any time to contain an atmosphere equal to 10% of the lower explosive limit and/or exhibit a petroleum-like nuisance odor.

Company agrees to discontinue discharges that violate any other requirements established by this Agreement and may recommence discharge only when compliance can be met as determined by the City. 7.

Thereafter, sampling frequency shall be performed on a batch basis with samples representing wastewater at the time of proposed delivery or discharge. 8.

City will endeavor to provide Company with copies of any request from a third party for this information. 11. Environmental Impairment Liability (EIL) commercial insurance requirement is waived based on the review of the company's financial status by the City's Risk Management Division. However, City may need to review Federal Express Corporation's financial reports on an annual basis to ensure the conditions continue to warrant accepting the self- insurance alternative. 12. Company agrees to provide the City with unfettered access to the monitored site so that the City may monitor/sample at its discretion. III. COMPENSATION 13. Company agrees to compensate the City for the services provided herein as follows: a) A payment of $500 for the cost of administering and monitoring the delivery or discharge during the agreement period to be paid prior to the commencement of the delivery or discharge. b) Transportation Fee: A discharge fee based on the City's current billing rates for monitored industrial Customer for the volume and strength of wastewater discharged, which may be amended by the City Council at its' sole discretion. 3 The City shall provide advance written notification to the industrial customer when new rates are adopted.
