SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: In 1995, EPA authorized the Department to implement the National Pretreatment program to control pollutants from industrial dischargers which have the potential to pass-through or interfere with the operation of domestic wastewater treatment facilities. To implement the program, the Department originally adopted Chapter 62-625, F.A.C., in November 1994. Certain portions of Chapter 62-625, F.A.C., were amended January 8, 1997. Since the last amendment, EPA has made several revisions to 40 CFR parts 122, 146 and 403, including several streamlining procedures for approval and implementation of pretreatment programs as well as other important changes for evaluation of local limits and evaluation of the need for a pretreatment program for certain discharges to UIC wells.
SPECIFIC AUTHORITY: 403.061(7), 403.061(31), 403.0885 FS.
LAW IMPLEMENTED: 403.0885 FS.
