Social Distancing 101: Keeping Industrial Pollutants Far and Few Between Through Technically Based Local Limits

Speakers: Project Engineer Wesley Lozano; Project Manager Ty Riebe, PE

One of the keys to treatment efficiency and regulatory compliance in a wastewater treatment plant is an effective pre-treatment program. Developing (or redeveloping) technically based local limits for a WWTP involves using empirical data to determine a plant’s existing treatment efficiency and headworks loadings of any pollutants of concern. This presentation will describe what technically based local limits are, how they help publicly owned treatment works, and the process for development and approval.
