Title: Streamlining the General Pretreatment Regulations for Existing and New Sources of Pollution
Abstract: The final rule will be promulgated as a program streamlining activity. The rule will revise certain provisions in the general pretreatment regulations (40 CFR part 403) that address restrictions on and oversight of industrial discharges into publicly owned treatment works (POTWs). The final rule will include exclusions or variable requirements for smaller facilities that contribute insignificant amounts of pollutants, clarify requirements for implementing pretreatment standards, and provide more flexible reporting, inspection and sampling requirements. The revisions should provide greater flexibility, reduce burden, and achieve improved environmental results at less cost for regulatory authorities and the regulated community.
