Purpose
The U.S. EPA has established guidelines for pretreatment
regulations pertaining to industries that are discharging to
municipal systems. These guidelines provide for the control
of 65 pollutants identified under Section 307 (a) of the
1977 Clean Water Act. Explanation of the new regulations
as well as providing specific guidance for economical
compliance by both industry and municipalities will be the
essential goal of the 2-day seminar.
Reservations for attendance will be required as space is
limited. If you are interested in attending, fill out the
registration blank on the back of this brochure and mail to
the address listed on the registration blank. As soon as
your acceptance has been verified you will be sent a
reservation notification and information on local accom-
modations as well as final seminar arrangements
Summary of Seminar Program
The first morning will be devoted solely to regulatory
aspects of the pretreatment guidelines. Key Federal
officials involved in development of the pretreatment
regulations will be the key speakers. Attendees will have
ample opportunity to question these speakers on the
general legal aspects promulgated by the pretreatment
regulations.
The independent session for municipal attendees will focus
on obtaining the data upon which a pretreatment program
can be established to meet EPA enforcement and construc-
tion grant requirements. Guidance on conducting industrial
surveys, developing equitable user charges, and self
monitoring will be given. The impact of toxic pollutants on
the municipal treatment system will be discussed and
guidance for approaching the sludge disposal problem in
cooperation with local industry will be given. In addition,
methods for working with industry to obtain the necessary
data on the behavior of pollutants in the municipal system
to justify a relaxation of BAT pretreatment requirements
for specific pollutants will be discussed.
The independent session for industrial attendees will
present the necessary background for working effectively
with municipalities to devise a local plan which will meet
national environmental requirements in the most cost
effective manner. The basic operating principles of munici-
pal systems and the effects of industrial wastes will be
briefly discussed. Guidance will be given for obtaining data
jointly with the municipality on the removability of indus-
trial pollutants which might allow relaxation of BAT
pretreatment requirements. Special attention will be given
to working with the municipality to devise a sludge
disposal mechanism. Finally, all sources of tax relief and
financial assistance will be discussed along with advice for
devising a financial strategy.
A final joint session will present a case history, a panel
discussion by state and Federal EPA representatives
followed by a discussion which will enable all groups to
exchange ideas with a panel of industrial and municipal
representatives.
Ample time will be allowed for questions and answers of
the various speakers and their presentations Technical
handouts containing the data and information presented at
the seminar will be distributed at no charge to seminar
attendees.
