DISCHARGE LIMITS.
(A) If national pretreatment standards, categorical or otherwise, more stringent than
the discharge limits prescribed in this Chapter are promulgated by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency for certain industries or Users, the more
stringent national pretreatment standards will apply to the affected
persons/Users. A violation of the more stringent national pretreatment standards
will also be considered a violation of these Rules and Regulations.
(B) User at the Airport. who discharges industrial waste ultimately received and
treated by another governmental entity pursuant to a wholesale wastewater
contract or a reciprocal agreement with the Board is subject to the following
additional rules:
(1) If the governmental entity has more stringent discharge limits than those
prescribed by this Chapter, or by a discharge permit issued under this
Chapter, because the United States Environmental Protection Agency
requires the more stringent discharge limits as part of the governmental
entity's wastewater pretreatment program, the more stringent discharge
limits shall prevail.
(2) The Executive Director is authorized to issue a
discharge permit to a User affected by Subsection (1), to assure notice of
and compliance with the more stringent discharge limits. If the User
already has a discharge permit, the Executive
Director may amend or reissue the permit to apply and enforce the more
stringent discharge limits. An affected User shall submit to the Grief
Executive Director an expected compliance date and an
installation schedule if the more stringent discharge limits necessitate
technological or mechanical adjustments to the User's facilities or
business operations at the Airport. An affected User(s) shall be given
reasonable opportunity to comply with the more stringent discharge
limit(s).
(3) The more stringent discharge limits cease to apply upon termination of
the Board's wholesale wastewater contract or reciprocal agreement with
the governmental entity, or upon modification or elimination of the limits
by the government entity or the United States Environmental Protection
Agency. The ohief €xesat' ^*~~^ef Executive Director will take
appropriate action to notify affected User(s) of an occurrence under this
Subsection (3).
S°^*~~ SEC. 6-11. VARIANCES IN COMPLIANCE DATES.
The Executive Director may grant a variance compliance dates
to an affected User when, in the Executive Director's opinion, such
action is necessary to achieve pretreatment or corrective measures. In no case shall the Grief
Executive Director grant a variance in compliance dates to an industry/User
affected by national categorical pretreatment standards beyond the compliance dates
established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

achieve compliance with a discharge limitation or pretreatment standard unless
expressly authorized to do so by an applicable pretreatment standard or
requirement.

available to the User: an identification of the hazardous constituents
contained in the wastes, an estimation of the mass an concentration of
such constituents in the waste stream discharged during that calendar
month, and an estimation of the mass of constituents in the waste stream
expected to be discharged during the following twelve (12) months.

~~°'~~~ se~s~+e~'r SEC. 7-1. PURPOSE.
~ Under the provisions of section 103(n)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as
amended (the "Code"), and section 1.103(n)-2T of the Temporary Regulations (the
"Temporary Regulations"), it is possible that the Joint Revenue Bonds of the Board
may be required to be included with the State Private Activity Bond Volume
Limitations provided by the Code, as interpreted by the Temporary Regulations.
Such determination is or may be influenced by the source and use of funding of
construction contracts at the Airport, some of which funding is provided by the Board
through the issuance of Joint Revenue Bonds or Special Facility Revenue Bonds.
While the Board can and intends to continue to control the purposes for which it
issues Joint Revenue Bonds and Special Facility Bonds and to control the
expenditures of funds from those sources, it has no control over the funding of a
tenant's share of any contract payments obtained from other sources.
~ It is the purpose of these Rules and Regulations to establish rules upon the basis of
which the Board will let contracts and will permit construction at the Airport by
contractors not under contract directly with the Board, and to provide procedures by
which contracts, funded by sources outside the Board's control, will be permitted, all
for the purpose of making certain the Board's Joint Revenue Bonds remain outside
the State Private Activity Bond Volume Limitations provided by the Code and the
Temporary Regulations.
DRAFT 6/9/10
Ses#~e~-~: SEC. 7-2. EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION.
The effective date of these rules and regulations is December 3, 1985, the date of their
adoption, and they shall remain in effect until modified or rescinded by the Board. The Board
expresses its intent to modify or rescind these rules and regulations at such time as it has
determined that relevant provisions of section 103(n)(7) of the Code, as interpreted by the
Temporary Regulations, has been changed, altered, interpreted or applied in a manner that will
permit the use of funds obtained by tenants from tax exempt sources in the payment of
contracts for Airport improvements without causing the Joint Revenue Bonds of the Board to be
included within the State Private Activity Bond Volume Limitations provided by section 103(n)(7)
of the Code.
Ses~ie~-~:-SEC. 7-3. SCOPE.
These Rules and Regulations are in addition to and not in lieu of any other rule,
regulation, policy, law or contract provision relating to procurement activities of the Board.
Sest<ie~4. SEC. 7-4. ADMINISTRATION OF RULES AND REGULATIONS.
These Rules and Regulations shall be administered, under the direction of the Executive
Director, by all employees of the Board. The Executive Director, with the advice of the Board's
