Pretreatment Standards - Local Limits Development Webinar

The national pretreatment program regulations identify specific requirements that apply to industrial users. These requirements include three types of pretreatment standards (general and specific prohibitions, categorical pretreatment standards, and local limits). Of the three types of standards, “local limits” are the pretreatment standards that are developed by individual POTWs. This webinar provides an overview of the local limit development process, the implementation of local limits on discharges to POTWs, and the content of a local limit evaluation report. This is a continuation of the Overview of Pretreatment Standards webinar.
