These guidelines provide for the control of 65 pollutants identified under Section 307(a) of the 1977 Clean Water Act. Explana- tion 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 soley to regulatory aspects of the pretreatment guidelines Key Federal officials involved in development of the pretreatment regulations will be the featured speakers Attendees will have ample opportunity to question these speakers on the general legal aspects promulgated by the pre- treatment 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 construction grants 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 be- havior of pollutants in the municipal system to justify a relaxation of BAT pretreatment requirements for speci- fic pollutants will be discussed. The independent session for industrial attendees will present the necessary background for working effec- tively with municipalities to devise a local plan which will meet national environmental requirements in the most cost effective manner. The basic operating princi- ples of municipal 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 industrial 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 and a panel discussion which will enable all groups to ex- change 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 Tech- nical handouts containing the data and information presented at the seminar will be distributed at no charge to seminar attendees.
