(2) If any person assessed a surcharge is of the opinion that the degree of concentration in the sewage discharged from the premises has been reduced by reason of the installation of a preliminary treatment facility or other reason, he may request that the Director of Public Works undertake sampling and analysis at his expense. (3) If tests made pursuant to Subsection (2) indicate less sewage concentration than prior tests and, in the opinion of the Director of Public Works, such tests represent the average sewage from the premises operating under normal conditions, the surcharge thereafter shall be calculated on the basis of such test until otherwise altered pursuant to this Bylaw.

Class A1 This category contains inorganic acids, excluding all inorganic acids capable of behaving as oxidizing agents (e.g., nitric acid (HNOs), perchloric acid (HCL04) and nitrous acid (HN02) ) as well as cyanic acid. The common inorganic acids included in this section are: boric acid (H3B03), carbonic acid (H2C03), phosphoric acid (H3P04), hydrochloric acid (HCL), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), sulfuric acid (H2S04), hydrobromic acid (HBr), and hydroiodic acid (HI). Notes: 1 . Nitric and nitrous acid should be further separated from the above binary and oxy acids. 2. Although a 70% perchloric acid/water mixture is not explosive by itself, the use of perchloric acid often leads to the formation of solid perchlorates which are very explosive. It is recommended this be removed from school laboratories. 3. Due to its toxic and explosive risks cyanic acid should be removed from school laboratories. Class B1 Inorganic salts capable of acting as oxidizing agents. Included in this section are inorganic nitrate/nitrite salts*, all inorganic oxidizers such as metal peroxides and potassium *Further isolate ammonium nitrate/nitrite salts. permanganate, concentrated halogen solution, chlorates, chlorites, perchlorates and hypochlorites. Class c, Chemicals contained in this group are all air/or water sensitive chemicals including all alkali and alkaline metals, hydrides, carbides, aluminum chloride, phosphorous chloride, phosphorous pentoxide and elemental phosphorous. It is recommended elemental phosphorous be further separated from the alkali metals. Class 01 This section contains (except cyanides) all remaining inorganic salts, reducing agents, inorganic bases in both the solid and liquid state, elemental amalgam compounds and all non- water/air sensitive elements.* It is suggested, depending on storage space, that the inorganic bases be further separate from the remaining class 01 compounds. The organic chemicals are also further subdivided according to the following classifications. Class EO This classification covers all organic bases in both the solid and liquid state including amines, amides, alkoxides, aniline, carboxylate salts and/or solutions. It is further suggested, that with available storage space solids be separated from liquids. * If carbon disulfide is necessary it should be placed in this category but kept cool and well sealed due to its low flashpoint (·30°C) and neurological toxin properties. Class FQ This category covers all organic solid compounds excluding organic acids, bases, oxidizers and cyanides. Included in this classification are metal acetates solid polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones, solid esters, solid halogenated aliphatic, olefinic and aromatic compounds, solid organometallics*, high molecular weight alkanes, alkenes and alkynes, and solid aliphatic, olefinic and aromatic alcohols. Class Go Included in this category are all organic solvents and organic acids with the exception of cyanides. This covers all liquid alkanes, alkenes and aromatic hydrocarbons, liquid aliphatic, olefinic and aromatic alcohols, all liquid halogenated hydrocarbons and all organic acids liquid or solid. Class Ho Included in this classification are all organic oxidizers. This section contains benzoyl peroxide which can explode spontaneously when dry. It is recommended that benzoyl peroxide be removed from the school laboratory if present. Class I This category includes all gas cylinders. The following two classes contain cyanide/cyanate chemicals of organic and inorganic nature. * It is recommended that any organometallic chemicals be removed from school laboratories because of their inherent reactivity. Class J This classification includes all organic and inorganic cyanide containing chemicals. Class K Included in this category are organic and inorganic isocyanates.
