OSTI ID:7069076

The information in the document is meant only as a summary of some of the regulations and guidance that may apply to publicly owned treatment works (POTW) operations. The document does not provide a comprehensive overview of all applicable federal requirements. Use of the document should not replace reference to official regulations as published in the Federal Register or the Code of Federal Regulations or to other more specific guidance documents. Also, the reader should be aware that EPA continuously updates and revises its regulations in response to statutory amendments or to improve its regulatory program. Finally, POTWs are reminded that the Clean Water Act allows states and municipalities to impose more stringent requirements on National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permittees than are required under federal law. Therefore, EPA suggests that the reader contact the appropriate authorities to get sources of detailed guidance for specific situations.
