(f) The Authority will periodically redetermine, if necessary, the Maximum Discharge Rates to assure that said Rates are adequate to allow City to discharge a reasonable Wastewater flow into the System. Section 3.06. LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL OF WASTEWATER. Liability for damages arising from the reception, transportation, delivery and disposal of 8 all Wastewater discharged hereunder shall remain in City to Points of Entry, and upon passing through Authority's meters installed at Points of Entry liability for such damages shall pass to Authority. As between the parties, each party hereto agrees to save and hold the other party harmless from all claims, demands, and causes of action which may be asserted by anyone on account of the reception, transportation, delivery, and disposal while Wastewater is in the control of such party. This covenant is not made for the benefit of any third party. Authority takes the responsibility as between the parties hereto for the proper reception, transportation, treatment, and disposal of all such Wastewater received by it at Points of Entry. Section 3.07. METERING. Authority will furnish, install, operate and maintain at its own expense at each Point of Entry the necessary equipment and devices of standard type for measuring properly all Wastewater to be discharged under this agreement. Such meters and other equipment shall remain the property of the Authority. City shall have access to such metering equipment at all reasonable times for inspection. and examination, but the read- ing, calibration, and adjustment thereof shall be done only by employees or agents of Authority in the presence of a representative of the City if requested by the City. All readings of meters will be entered upon proper books of record maintained by the Authority. Upon written request.City may have access to said record books during reasonable business hours. 9 Not more than three times in each year of operation, Authority shall calibrate its meters, if requested in writing by City to do so, in the presence of a representative of City, and the parties shall jointly observe any adjustments which are made to the meters in case any adjustment is found to be necessary. If, for any reason, any meters are out of service or out of repair, or if, upon any test, the percentage of inaccuracy of any meter is found to be in excess of five (5%) per cent, registration thereof shall be corrected for a period of time extending back to the time when such inaccuracy began, if such time is ascertainable, and if such time is not ascertainable, then for a period extending back one-half (1/2) of the time elapsed since the date of the last calibration, but in no event further back than a period of six (6) months. City may, at its option and its own expense, install and operate a check meter to check each meter installed by Authority, but the measurement for the purpose of this agreement shall be solely by Authority's meters,. except in the cases hereinbelow in this Section specifically provided to the contrary. All such check meters shall be of standard make and shall be subject at all reasonable times to inspection and examination by any employee or agent of Authority, but the reading, calibration and adjustment thereof shall be made only by City, except during any period when a check meter may be used under specific written consent by Author- ity for measuring the amount of Wastewater delivered into the System,, in which case the reading, calibration and adjustment thereof shall -be made by Authority with like effect as if such check meter or meters had been furnished or installed by Authority. 10 Section 3.08. UNIT OF MEASUREMENT. The unit of measurement for Wastewater delivered hereunder shall be 1,000 gallons, U. S. Standard Liquid Measure. ARTICLE IV •QUALITY AND TESTING Section 4.01. GENERAL, City agrees to limit discharge into Authority's System to wastes defined herein as admissible dis- charges, and to prohibit entry into the System of any wastes that have the characteristics of prohibitive discharges, also described herein. Section 4.02. ADMISSIBLE DISCHARGES. Wastes discharged into the System shall consist only of Wastewater, Properly Shredded Garbage, and other wastes which the System is capable of handling, so that: (a) effluent from the System meets the current legal standards of the Texas Water Quality Board or of any governmental body having legal authority to set standards for such effluents; and (b) the System is not damaged to the extent to cause unnecessary repairs or replacements resulting in increased Operation and Maintenance Expense. Section 4.03. PROHIBITIVE DISCHARGES. (a) To enable the highest degree of treatment in the most economical manner possible, and• to comply with Federal and State regulations, cer- tain solids, liquids and gases are hereby prohibited from entering Authority's System in excess of standards as set by said Federal and State regulations. The prohibitive discharges listed below shall apply at the Points of Entry. Federal and State Regulatory Agencies periodically modify standards on prohibitive discharges; therefore, revisions to, additions to, or deletions from the items listed in this se ction will become necessary to comply with these latest standards. It is' the intention of this contract that prohibitive discharge requirements be reviewed periodically by Authority and revised in accordance with the latest standards of any Federal or State Agency having regulatory powers. Any required revisions shall be made and written notice thereof given to City; however, enforcement and effect of the revision shall not begin for ninety (90) days following written notice to City of such change. (b) The following information shall govern prohibitive discharges: (i) City shall not discharge any of the following into the System at a Point of Entry: storm water, ground water, roof run-off, sub-surface drainage or water originating from down spouts, yard drains, yard fountain and ponds, or lawn sprays. In cases where, and in the opinion of Authority, the character of the Wastewater from any manufacturer or industrial plant, building or other premises is such that it will damage the System, or cannot be treated satisfactorily in the System, City shall prevent it from entering the System until the character of same is satisfactory to Authority. (c) City shall not discharge any of the following sub- stances, materials, waters or wastes into the System: (i) Any liquid having a temperature higher than 150 degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees Centigrade) ; (ii) Any water or wastes which contain wax, grease) oil, plastic or other substance that will solidify, or become discernibly viscous at temperatures between 32 degrees to 150 degrees Fahrenheit; 12 I Any solids, slurries or viscous substances of such character as to be capable of causing obstruction to the flow in sewers, or other interference with the proper operation of the Wastewater System, such as ashes, cinders, sand, mud, straw, shavings, metal, glass, rags, feathers, tar, plastics, wood, whole blood, paunch manure, hair and fleshlings, entrails, lime slurry, lime residues, slops, chemical residues, paint residues or bulk solids; (iv) Any solids, liquids, or gases which by themselves or by interaction with other substances may cause fire or explosion hazards, or in any other way be injurious to persons, property, or the operators of the Wastewater System; (v) Any garbage that has not been properly comminuted or shredded; (vi) Any noxious or malodorous substance, which either singly or by interaction with other substances is capable of causing objectionable odors, or hazard to life, or forms solids that will cause obstruc- tions to flow, or creates any other condition deleterious to structures or treatment processes, or requires unusual provisions, alteration, or expense to handle such substance; ° (vii) Any waters or wastes having a pH lower than 6.0, or higher than 10.0 or having any corrosive pro- perty capable of causing damage or hazards to structures, equipment, or personnel of the Waste- water System; (viii) Any wastes or waters containing suspended or dissolved solids of such character and quantity that unusual attention or expense is required to handle such materials in the Wastewater System; (ix) Any waters or wastes containing a toxic or poison- ous substance, such as plating or heat-treating wastes, in sufficient quantity to injure or inter- fere with any wastewater treatment process, to constitute a hazard to humans or animals, or to create any hazard in the receiving waters of the Wastewater Treatment Plant; (x) Any wastes or waters exceeding the concentrations itlisted below: i 13 1. Antimony greater than 0,01 mg/l 2. Arsenic greater than 0.05 mg/l 3. Barium greater than 5.0 mg/1 4. Beryllium greater than 0,01 mg/l 5. Bismuth greater than 0.5 mg/l 6.

Can deposit grease or oil in the sewer lines in such manner to clog the sewers; 2. Can overload skimming and grease handling equipment; 3. Are not amenable to bacterial action or other treatment processes then being employed by Authority and will, therefore, pass to the re- ceiving waters without being affected by normal wastewater treatment processes; or, 14 i i I 4. Can have deleterious effects on the treatment process due to excessive quantities. Any radioactive wastes greater than the allowable releases as specified by current United States Bureau of Standards handbooks dealing with the handling of and release of radioactivity. i I (iii) Cyanides or cyanogen compounds capable of liberating hydrocyanic gas on acidification in excess of 0.2 mg/1 by weight (as CN) . (iv) Materials which exert or cause: 1. Unusual concentrations of solids or compounds; as, for example, in total SS of inert nature (such as Fuller's Earth) and/or in total dissolved solids (such as sodium chloride or sodium sulfate) ; 2. Excessive discoloration; 3. Unusual BOD or immediate oxygen demand. Section 4•.04. TESTING QUALITY. To determine quality of Wastewater, Authority will collect twenty-four (24) hour composite samples of Wastewater at each Point of Entry and cause same to be analyzed in accordance with testing procedures as set forth in the latest edition of Standard Methods of Examination of Water and Waste- water, published by American Public Health Association, Inc. Composite samples will normally be taken once a month, or at more frequent intervals if necessary to determine Wastewater quality. Such Waste- water shall not exceed the limits of concentration specified for Normal Wastewater as follows: Normal Wastewater Concentration BOD 250 mg/l SS 250 mg/l pH, not less than 6 nor greater than 10 Hydrogen Sulfide 0.1 mg/l 15 Should the analysis disclose concentrations higher than those listed, Authority will at once inform City of such disquali- fidation. It shall be the obligation of City to require the offending discharger of said highly concentrated materials to undertake remedial measures to bring discharge concentrations within acceptable limits. The Authority will cooperate with City in reaching a satisfactory solution but will not undertake to specify the measures that will be employed to bring those over-strength discharge concentrations within acceptable limits. In some cases of over-strength Industrial Waste, the industry discharging the over-strength waste, and City, may be desirous, and Authority may be agreeable to negotiate terms under which Authority will accept and treat the over-strength wastes, but Authority makes no commitment to perform such service. Section 4.05. ADMISSION OF DISCHARGES CONTAINING CONCENTRATIONS OF BOD AND/OR SS GREATER THAN THOSE PRESENT IN NORMAL WASTEWATER. If Wastewater at the Point or Points of Entry contains concentrations of BOD greater than 250 mg/l and/or SS greater than 250 mg/l, approval must be obtained from Authority prior to discharge of the Wastewater into the System. Charges made to City will include the Basic Charge as outlined in Article V of this contract, plus a surcharge for excess BOD and/or SS calculated in accordance with the following formula: 16 i i SC (Q) (8.34) (a(BOD-250)' + b (SS-250)) where: SC = surcharge based on excessive con- centrations of BOD and/or SS (dollars per month) Q = flow (million gallons per month) I a = annually adjusted unit cost of treatment, chargeable to BOD (dollars per pound of BOD introduced to System) b = annually adjusted unit cost of treat- ment, chargeable to SS (dollars per pound of SS introduced to System) The value of BOD and/or SS concentrations in this calcula- tion will be the average of values determined by testing procedures i as defined in Section 4.04, TESTING QUALITY, except for the following condition: Observation of unusually high values of BOD and/or SS in samples collected at the Wastewater treatment plant or at a Point of Entry will prompt an intensive sampling and testing program to determine the Contracting Party responsible for these high values. Once the source of high concentration of i BOD and/or SS has been determined, the responsible Contracting Party will be notified and samples will be collected and tested for four (4) continuous days. The average of the BOD and SS values measured during these four (4) days will be considered as representa- tive of the Wastewater being discharged to the System and will serve as the basis of the surcharge during the month of observation. I Any surcharge for overstrength Wastewater which Authority has agreed to accept shall not be allocated among Contracting Parties discharging normal Wastewater, but shall be applied only to the Contracting Party discharging such overstrength Wastewater. At any time that Authority determines that any service here- under should be suspended because City's Wastewater does not meet i 17 ! standards herein established or that a surcharge will be applied, Authority shall furnish to City the data and expert opinion on which such determination was based prior to cessation of service or appli- cation of a surcharge. Section 4.06. INDUSTRIAL WASTES. The effects of certain types of Industrial Waste upon Wastewater and Wastewater treatment processes are such as to require that careful consideration be made of each industrial connection. This is a matter of concern both to Authority and to City. Accordingly, Authority, upon re- quest by City, will work jointly in processing applications for discharge of Industrial Waste into any sewers ultimately discharging into Authority's System. The City covenants that it will have in effect and will enforce an industrial waste ordinance acceptable to Federal and State agencies or departments having lawful jurisdiction to set standards for waste discharges, An industry in City in an area being served by Authority's System seeking to connect to the City's Domestic Wastewater system shall make an application to the City for an Industrial Waste disposal permit and shall file therewith a statement containing the following information: (a) Name and address of applicant; (b) Type of Industry; (c) Quantity of plant waste; (d) Typical analysis of the waste; (e) Type of pre-treatment proposed. City will allow Authority access to City records to gather information and data that will be useful to Authority as statistical data for planning the operation, improvement and expansion of Authority's treatment facilities. 18 ARTICLE V Section 5.01. FINANCING. Authority has heretofore issued the Outstanding Bonds and will pay for the cost of construction of the improvements specified and to be specified in the Engineering Report, and will issue its Bonds, from time to time, in amounts neces- sary which, together with other available funds, will be sufficient to accomplish such construction. Section 5.02, ANNUAL REQUIREMENT. It is acknowledged and agreed that payments to be made under this contract and similar contracts with other Contracting Parties and Additional Contracting Parties will be the only source available to Authority to provide the Annual Requirement; and that the Authority has a statutory duty to establish and from time to time to revise the charges for services to be rendered and made available to City hereunder so that the Annual Requirement shall at all times be not less than an amount sufficient to pay or provide for the payment of: (a) The net amount paid or payable for all Operation and Maintenance Expenses; (b) the principal of and the interest on outstanding Bonds and Bonds, as such principal and interest become due, .less interest to be paid out of Bond proceeds as permitted by the Bond Resolution and less any other funds on hand for payment of principal and interest on the Bonds and outstanding Bonds; (c) during each Fiscal Year, the proportionate part of any special or reserve funds required to be established and/or maintained by the provisions of the Bond Resolution and/or any resolution authorizing outstanding Bonds; and (d) an amount in addition thereto sufficient to re- store any deficiency in any of such funds or accounts required to be accumulated and maintained by the provisions of the Bond Resolution and/or any resolution authorizing outstanding Bonds. 19 Section 5.03, PAYMENTS BY CITY, (a) For services to be rendered to City by Authority hereunder, City agrees to pay, at the time and in the manner hereinafter provided, its proportion- ate share of the Annual Requirement, which shall be determined as follows and shall constitute City's Annual Payment: (i) For the Fiscal Year 1976, the City's proportion- ate share of the Annual Requirement shall be a percentage obtained by dividing City's estimated annual contributing flow to the System by the total estimated annual contributing flow to the System by all Contracting Parties, The following tabulation shall apply for 1976: Estimated 1976 Annual Con- Percentage tributing Flow of CONTRACTING PARTY (1,000 gallons) Total Arlington 2,947,923 19.65 Bedford 523,042 3.49 Carrollton 948,670 6.32 Coppell 12,488 .08 Dallas 797,303 5.31 D/FW Airport 418,134 2.79 Euless 965,156 6.43 Farmers Branch 1,234,920 8.23 Fort Worth 19,110 .13 Grand Prairie 2,804,048 18.69 Irving 4,332,712 28.88 15,003,506 100.00 *Colleyville, Hurst, Grapevine, Mansfield and North Richland Hills will not be "on line" and will not discharge into the System during the Fiscal Year 1976. City's Annual Payment for the Fiscal Year 1976 shall be calculated by multiplying City's percentage from the above tabula- tion times the Annual Requirement, City's Annual Payment shall be made to Authority in equal monthly installments for the pro rata part of the Fiscal Year 1976 commencing on the date of the initial discharge hereunder. Such payments shall be made in accordance with and at the times set forth in a Schedule of Payments for 1976 which will be supplied to City. At the close of the 1976 Fiscal Year, Authority shall redeter- mine City's percentage by dividing City's actual metered contributing 20 flow to the System by all Contracting Parties. City's Adjusted Annual Payment shall be calculated by multiplying City's redeter- mined percentage times the Annual Requirement. The difference. between the Adjusted Annual Payment and the Annual Payment, if any, when determined, shall be applied as a credit or a debit to City's account with Authority and shall be credited or debited to City's next subsequent monthly payment or payments. (ii) For the Fiscal Year 1977, and each succeeding Fiscal Year thereafter, City's proportionate share of the Annual Requirement shall be a per- centage .obtained by dividing City's estimated contributing flow to the System for such year by the total estimated contributing flow to the System by all Contracting Parties and Additional Contracting Parties being served at the beginning of each such year. Calculation of Annual Payment as determined herein and Adjusted Annual Payment for 1976 and each succeeding Fiscal Year there- after shall be determined in the manner described in (i) above.. (b) If, during any Fiscal Year, Authority begins pro- viding services to an Additional Contracting Party or Parties, City's Annual Payment for such Fiscal Year shall be redetermined in the following manner; (i) Such Additional Contracting Party or Parties estimated contributing flow to the System for such year, or portion thereof, shall be determined by Authority; (ii) City's proportionate share of the Annual Require- ment shall be a percentage, redetermined by dividing City's estimated annual contributing flow to the System by the total estimated annual contributing flow to the System by all Contract- ing Parties, including that estimated for the Additional Contracting Party or Parties for the remaining portion of such Fiscal Year; 21 (iii) Authority shall redetermine the Annual Requirement, taking into consideration any costs incurred on account of the Additional Contracting Party or Parties; (iv) City's Annual Payment shall be redetermined by multiplying City's redetermined percentage times the redetermined Annual Requirement. (c) City's Annual Payment shall also be redetermined, in the manner set out above, at any time during any Fiscal Year if: (i) Additions, enlargements or improvements to the System are constructed by Authority to provide continuing service which in turn requires a redetermination of the Annual Requirement; or (ii) Unusual or extraordinary expenditures for oper- ation and maintenance are required which are not provided for in the Annual Budget or in the Bond Resolution; or (iii) City's contributing flow to the System, after the beginning of the Fiscal Year, is estimated to be substantially different from that on which Annual Payments are based as determined by Authority, to the extent that such difference in flow will substantially affect City's Budget, and consequently City's Annual Payment to Authority. (d) The Annual Payment set forth in this section shall be considered the Basic Charge for service hereunder, and City shall pay a surcharge for excess BOD and/or SS determined in the manner set forth in Section 4.05. (e) Recognizing that the Authority will use payments received from City to pay, secure and finance the issuance of Bonds and to pay the Outstanding Bonds, it is hereby agreed that upon commencement of discharge of Wastewater hereunder, City shall be unconditionally obligated to pay its proportionate share of the Annual Requirements. Ii 22 (f) On or before August 1 of each year Authority will furnish City with an estimated schedul e of monthly payments to be made by City for the ensuing Fiscal Year. On or before November I of each year, Authority shall furnish City with a finalized schedule of the monthly payments to be made by such City to the Authority for the ensuing Fiscal Year. City hereby agrees that it will make such payments to the Authority on or before the 10th day of each month of such Fiscal Year. If the City at any time disputes the amount to be paid by it to Authority, City shall nevertheless promptly make the payment or payments determined by Authority, and, if it is subsequently determined by agreement, arbitration or court decision that such disputed payments made by City should have been less, Authority shall promptly revise and reallocate the charges among all parties then being served by Authority in such manner that City will recover its overpayment. In the event City is assessed a surcharge for excess BOD* and/or SS, Authority will bill City for such surcharge on or before the fifth (5th) day of the month following the determination of the surcharge and City shall pay such surcharge on or before the tenth (10th) day of the month of receipt of any such bill; Any such surcharge collected by Authority shall be applied by Authority against the total cost of Operation and-Maintenance Expense of the System. (g) If City's Annual Payment is redetermined as is herein provided, Authority will promptly furnish City with an updated schedule of monthly payments reflecting such redetermination. (h) All interest income earned by the investment of any Funds created in the Trinity River Authority of Texas Series 1973 Bond Resolution shall be taken into account in determining the Annual Requirement. 23 ARTICLE VI Section 6.01. CONSTRUCTION. Authority agrees to maintain and provide service to City with existing facilities until such time as construction of additional or replacement facilities are completed. Section 6.02. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. It is expressly understood and agreed that any obligation on the part of the Authority to complete and operate the said facilities shall be conditioned upon the following: (a) Sale of Bonds in an amount which, together with other available funds, will be sufficient to assure the construction of the System; (b) The Authority's ability, or the ability of the Authority's contractors, to obtain all material, labor and equipment necessary for completion of the System. Section 6.03. OBLIGATIONS OF CITY. Authority shall never have the right to demand payment by City of any obligation assumed or imposed on it under and by virtue of this contract from funds raised or to be raised by taxation, it being expressly understood by the parties hereto that all payments due by City hereunder •are to be made from the revenues and income received by City from its waterworks and sanitary sewer systems, as authorized by Section 3 of Article 1109i, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes. Section 6.04. PAYMENTS TO CONSTITUTE OPERATING EXPENSES BY CITY. City represents and covenants that the services to be obtained pursuant to this contract are essential and necessary to the operation of City and its Local Wastewater Facilities, and that all payments to be made hereunder by it will constitute reasonable and necessary "operating expenses" of City's waterworks 24 and sanitary sewer systems, within the meaning of Article 1113, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes, and the provisions of all Ordinances authorizing the issuance of all revenue bond issues of City which are payable from revenues of City's waterworks and sewer systems Section 6.05. CITY TO ESTABLISH ADEQUATE RATES. City agrees to establish and collect such rates and charges for Waterworks and Domestic Wastewater services to be supplied by its Waterworks and Domestic Wastewater systems as will make possible the prompt payment of all expenses of operating and maintaining its Waterworks and Domestic Wastewater systems, including all payments contracted hereunder, and the prompt payment of the prin- cipal of and interest on its obligations, if any, payable from the revenues of its Waterworks and Domestic Wastewater systems. Section 6.06. USE OF REVENUES OF SYSTEM.

Provided, that revenues received by Authority from the Dallas-Fort Worth Regional Airport Board under contract dated July 16, 1971, as amended, and any revenues received under con- tracts, the revenues from which are pledged to the payment of special facility bonds, as permitted in the Bond Resolutions, shall 25 not be credited to said funds of the System and will not bea part of the pledge of revenues for payment of the Bonds. Neither shall any revenues received by the Authority under contracts where the Authority is acting as a signatory to the Texas Water. Pollution Control Compact be included as a part of the pledge of revenues for payment of the Bonds. No funds derived from the Contracting Parties shall ever be used for the benefit of any project the revenues of which have been excluded from the pledge for payment of the Bonds hereunder or which may be so excluded in the future. Section 6.07. FORCE MAJEURE. In case by reason of "Force Majeure" either party hereto shall be rendered unable wholly or in part to carry out its obligations under this agreement, then if such party shall give notice and full particulars of such "Force Majeure" in writing to the other party within a reasonable time after occurrence of the event or cause relied on, the obligation of the party giving such notice, so far as it is affected by such Force Majeure, with the exception of the obligation of City to make the payments required in Section 5.03(e) hereof, shall be suspended during the continuance of the inability then claimed, but for no longer periods, and any such party shall endeavor to remove or overcome such inability with all reasonable dispatch. The term "Force Majeure" as employed herein, shall mean acts of God, strikes, lockouts, or other industrial disturbances, acts of public enemy, orders of any kind of the Government of the United States or the State of Texas or any civil or military authority, insurrections, riots, epidemics, landslides, lightning, earth- quakes, fires, hurricanes, storms, floods, washouts, droughts, arrests, restraint of government and people, civil disturbances, 26 explosions, breakage or accidents to machinery, pipe lines or canals, partial or entire failure of water supply, and inability on part of City to provide water necessary for operatioft of its water and Domestic Wastewater system hereunder, or of Authority to receive Wastewater on account of any other causes not reasonably within the control of the party claiming such inability. It is understood and agreed that the settlement of strikes and lockouts shall be en- tirely within the discretion of the party having the difficulty, and that the above requirement that any Force Majeure shall be remedied with all reasonable dispatch shall not require the settlement of strikes and lockouts by acceding to the demands of the opposing .party or parties when such settlement is unfavorable to it in the judgment of the party having the difficulty.

Section 6.12. ADDITIONAL CAPACITY AND FACILITIES. As the responsible agency for the establishment, administration, operation and maintenance of the System, the Authority will, from time to time, determine when it is necessary to provide additional facilities to receive, transport, treat and dispose of additional Wastewater of the Contracting Parties and any Additional Contract- ing Parties. In making the determinations called for herein, Authority covenants that such determinations will.be made only after detailed studies of statistical data available as to the need and feasibility have been made and after consulting with the Advisory Committee, consulting engineers and financial advisors. City will be kept advised at all times of planning and proposed development of the System. In no event shall any contract with an Additional Contracting Party be on terms more favorable than is avail- able to City hereunder unless the governing body of City shall approve such contract. 29 Section 6.13. CITY CONTRACTS WITH OTHERS. City shall have the right to enter into contracts with other persons outside the City limits of City, natural or corporate, private or public, to receive Wastewater from such persons.
