Abstract:
Recent revisions to rules governing the kinds and concentration of wastes industries may discharge to publicly owned treatment works are expected to have significant impacts on some industrial users in North Carolina, particularly in the larger metropolitan areas. New regulations will bring more industrial dischargers into pretreatment programs, and prohibit septage dumping into sewer lines.
