Joint Municipal
& Industrial
Seminar

August 8 and 9, 1978
Statler Hilton Hotel
New York NY

"Federal regulations prohibit the serving of
coffee or other beverages on a complimentary
basis. Consequently, you may encounter some
difficulty in obtaining refreshment during the
scheduled breaks. We regret any inconvenience
you may encounter as a result of this policy."


-------
Purpose

The U.S. EPA has established guidelines for pretreat-
merit 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 Explana-
tion of the new regulations as welt 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.

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.

A special session will be held the evening of the first
day This will be an informal session with both groups
attending and will feature a panel discussion by state
representatives followed by a social session for infor-
mation exchange.

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.

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.
