INDUSTRIAL PRETREATMENT
Objectives of the Pretreatment Program
- To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the sewarage
system which will interfere with the operation of the wastewater treatment plant.
- Protect the collection systems and treatment facilities.
- To prevent the introduction of pollutants into sewerage system which will pass
through the treatment works into receiving waters.
- To protect the health and safety of the sanitary sewer workers and the general public.
- To improve opportunities to recycle and reclaim municipal and industrial wastewaters
and sludges.
Industries:
Currently there are 65 permitted industrial users. Eight are regulated as Federal categorical
industries, 26 are significant non-categorical and 31 insignificant non-catergorical. Permits
are issued for a three year period. Sanitary Sewers conducts compliance monitoring on all its
industrial users at least once yearly and most are monitored monthly. Categorical and significant
industrial users have self-monitoring requirements to sample and report twice per year and once
per year respectively. Inspections are performed by pretreatment staff on each industrial user
once per year.
