Title: ●Oil and Gas Extraction and Centralized Waste Treatment Point Source Categories (Expansion of Discharges From CWT Facilities) | |
Abstract:
EPA Region 6 is proposing to revise sections 40 CFR part 437 to expand the beneficial use of treated produced waters by allowing the discharge of produced waters from Centralized Waste Treatment (CWT) facilities, and from Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs). These revisions would allow more flexibility in the discharge, and ultimately the management of treated produced waters for agricultural uses, reuse for oil recovery, and other uses to alleviate water scarcity. |
