Local Limits are developed to reflect specific needs and capabilities
at individual POTWs and designed to protect the POTW receiving waters.
Regulations at 40 CFR 403.8 states that POTW Pretreatment Programs
must develop local limits or demonstrate they are unnecessary; 40
CFR 403.5 states that local limits are needed when pollutants are
received that could result in pass through or interferences at the
POTW. Essentially, local limits translate the general prohibited
discharge standards of 40 CFR 403.5 to site-specific needs. |
