<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />INDUSTRIAL WASTE PROGRAM <br /> <br />OBJECTIVES: <br /> <br />.Minimize potential problems at the Treatment Plant caused by <br />industrial discharges <br /> <br />.Minimize the entrance of incompatible pollutants that pass <br />through the Treatment Plant into the receiving waters or into the <br />distribution system used to irrigate the Golf Course and any <br />future water recycling programs <br /> <br />.Minimize Treatment Plant sludge disposal problems caused by <br />excessive concentrations of toxic materials <br /> <br />.Establish and maintain a data base sufficient to set sewer use <br />surcharge fees and to determine compliance with pretreatment <br />standards <br /> <br />.Prevent water quality violations resulting from illegal direct <br />discharges into surface waters <br /> <br />.Protect the safety of plant personnel and the general public <br /> <br />Achieving these objectives will require a coordinated effort between <br />the regulated industries and the City that takes into consideration <br />conditions and waste treatment at the industrial facility as well as <br />the POTW. Many communities have set up a committee composed of local <br />industry representatives, Chamber of Commerce members, and local <br />government staff members to exchange information on testing, existing <br />laws, proposed laws, and the general direction and progress of the <br />program. The committee's purpose is to bring all interested parties <br />together working toward a common goal - CLEAN WATER AND A CLEANER <br />ENVIRONMENT! <br />
