Abstract |
The National Pretreatment Program establishes an overall strategy for controlling the introduction of nondomestic wastes to publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) in accordance with the overall objectives of the Clean Water Act. The manual provides guidance to POTWs on the implementation and enforcement of the categorical pretreatment standards for the aluminum forming, copper forming, and nonferrous metals forming and metal powders categories. This guidance is based primarily on two sources: Federal Register notices, which contain the official announcements of the categorical standards, and the final development documents for aluminum forming, copper forming, and nonferrous metals forming and metal powders categories, which provide a summary of the technical support for the regulations. |
