The National Pretreatment Program regulations identify specific requirements for controlling the wastewater discharges from nondomestic users. When a control mechanism is used to authorize the discharge of wastewater to a POTW, it must contain certain conditions and requirements. The control mechanism outlines all the duties and obligations of the nondomestic user, including all applicable pretreatment standards and requirements.

This webinar introduces EPA’s newly revised Industrial User Permitting Guidance Manual and provides an overview of the nondomestic user permitting process, including preparing effective and enforceable control mechanisms and recommendations and requirements for content and structure. This is the first of a series of webinars on nondomestic user permitting.
