The Intro to Pretreatment is the first in the series and it provides the basic and intermediate information pertaining to pretreatment. The first day of the course covers the regulatory and technical framework which supports the development and implementation of pretreatment programs under the NPDES and Clean Water Act. The second and third days of the course provides the framework for collecting, managing and applying the information necessary to develop and issue individual control mechanisms (permits) to industrial dischargers. The course includes extensive discussion of the process for reviewing industrial information to determine appropriate categorization of the industry and subsequent effluent limit derivation. The Advanced Pretreatment course begins with the framework for collecting, managing, and applying the information necessary to develop and issue individual control mechanisms (permits) to industrial dischargers. The course includes extensive discussion of the process for reviewing industrial information to determine appropriate categorization of the industry and subsequent effluent limit derivation. The course also provides information on the development and application of pretreatment standards with a focus on local limits.
